Questions
How long does delivery to the US take?
Production typically takes 4–6 business days after you approve the album, and DHL Express to the US a further 4–8 business days, so plan on about two to three weeks door to door. These are typical ranges, not guarantees; you get a tracking link by email when the book ships.
What does the book cost in dollars?
Around $295 for 26 pages and around $515 for 80, DHL Express included — the pricing page shows the exact amount for your region, and the checkout charges in dollars. Prices for the US are set for the US; they are not the euro price converted.
Are there customs charges?
No. The book ships by DHL Express with nothing to pay at the door. If anything about an address is unclear, email us before ordering and we confirm.
