This article breaks down the different parts of the shipping process; from the moment you put your completed pages into the mailbox until the print book arrives.

How Long Does It Take To Receive My Book?

Due to an increased volume of incoming kits, our processing times are currently longer than usual. While we are unable to provide a specific turnaround time, as processing varies based on our current queue and the complexity of each submission, please be assured that all kits are reviewed and processed in the order they are received. Our team is working diligently to complete each submission as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.


Ordering A Kit

When you order a kit from Lulu Junior’s shop, we ship it directly from our fulfillment center to you. 

Sending Pages To Lulu Junior

Each kit includes a pre-paid envelope for returning the completed pages. If the envelope is lost, damaged, or otherwise cannot be used for delivery, please ship the pages in an envelope addressed to Lulu Junior:

Lulu Jr.
PO Box 110046
Durham, NC 27709

The delivery time for your pages can vary based on your location and the local providers who service your area. 

Processing - Scanning Your Pages

Once we receive your pages, we digitally scan them into our system and turn those pages into a PDF file we can print. Depending on the demand, there may be numerous book kit pages to process at any time. Because of the steps involved, we ask that you allow seven business days for scanning your pages and preparing the print-ready file. 

Processing - Printing Your Pages

After the scanning process is complete, the PDF file is transferred to our print facility. 

This too can take some time and we ask that you allow for up to seven business days for your scanned pages to be printed, bound, and packed for shipping. 

Shipping The Finished Book

After the book pages are printed and bound, Lulu Junior’s team packages the book to ship back to you. The packing stage may take a business day; if your book is printed and packed after our carrier makes their daily pick up, it will not ship until the following day.

Once the carrier has your package, the delivery usually takes four business days, but may take up to seven business days to arrive. Delivery time can be impacted by conditions (such as holidays, adverse weather, and the pandemic). 

From Pages To A Book

Your story pages will be processed and printed in approximately 4-5 weeks from the date your kit is received in the mail.

If you have questions about shipping your completed pages or your book hasn’t arrived, please create a ticket with our support team.
