Shipping Policies

Please remember that shipping charges are 'per shipment', not 'per order.' We ship as the items are available.

All shipments to addresses in the contiguous 48 United States of America are shipped by UPS ground service/insured. Please be sure to give us a correct shipping address. We will assume the shipping address is residential, unless you tell us otherwise. If, you give as an incorrect shipping address and UPS corrects it and charges us $5.00 to do so, you will be charged a $7.50 service fee.

A Flat Rate Handling Charge of $4.00 will be added to the total shipping charges for your shipped order to cover costs for packaging of your order.

Shipments to: APO, Alaska, FPO, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Island addresses are shipped by priority mail with insurance at cost to buyer.

Mission Statement

• The Episcopal Book Store is a business, run to build the body of Christ.

• We belong to the Anglican Communion and we serve those who attend the Cathedral Church of the Advent, who belong to the Diocese of Alabama, people from all walks of life who seek knowledge of God, and anyone in grief or any other need who reaches out for God's healing love.

• We sell books, tapes and merchandise that spread God's word, that celebrate the Christian year and sacraments, that guide individual faith journeys, which support liturgy, and which strengthen the Anglican Communion.

• As employees and volunteers, we follow the Compassionate Christ, for we know that all spiritual fruit must grow from this root. In so doing, we strive to be faithful stewards of this mission, which God has given to us.
