11.1 How can I receive a print catalog from Christianbook.com?

Catalogs from the mail order component of Christianbook.com, called Christian Book Distributors, are free, and catalog requests are processed daily.  If you place a request online, you will receive a catalog within 2-4 weeks.  After that, you will be placed on our regular mailing list and receive a catalog every month or so. If you would like to receive any of our "specialty" catalogs (Academic, Music, etc.), simply check the boxes that interest you when filling out our catalog request form and we'll send you a preview copy of that catalog.  International customers should note that because of the prohibitive costs of mailing overseas, you must become a member of Christian Book Distributors if you would like to receive our regular catalog mailings. Please see our Member Info page for more details about the costs and benefits of CBD membership.  While you're waiting for your catalogs to arrive, you may want to consider the benefits of placing your order online at Christianbook.com.  The site is fast, safe, and always up-to-date with the very best and latest in Christian products.  You can shop our entire inventory at your convenience, any time of day or night, and place your order with just a few clicks of your mouse!

11.3 What are the benefits of a Christian Book Distributors membership?

You don't need to be a member to order from our catalogs, but CBD Members are guaranteed the lowest prices on every item. For only $5 a year, customers in the U.S. and Canada ($8 for international customers) receive our Members' Newsletter six times a year.  Each newsletter gives customers the inside scoop on new titles and alerts them to any future price increases.  The newsletter also passes along price reductions to our members on overstocked, out-of-print, and discontinued items. For more information about the benefits of membership, visit our Member Info page.

11.4 Do I need to be a member to order from Christian Book Distributors or Christianbook.com?

Membership is not required for customers to place orders with either Christian Book Distributors or Christianbook.com.  However, there are many benefits to becoming a member.  Members receive special mailings and announcements from CBD, and are given extra savings on overstocked, out-of-print, and discontinued items.  For more information, visit our Member Info page.

11.5 Do I have to be a member to order from outside the United States?

International customers are always welcome to place an order with Christian Book Distributors or Christianbook.com. Any order sent will include one of our catalogs. However, because of the prohibitive costs of sending regular catalog mailings overseas, you will need to become a member if you would like to receive our regular catalog mailings.  The cost of the membership helps offset the overseas mailing expenses.  Please see our Member Info page for more details about the costs and benefits of membership.
