Lulu Direct charges for the print cost of each book ordered. Because Lulu Direct fulfills orders using print-on-demand technology, you won’t have to prepay for any of our print services. When an order is placed for a Product connected to Lulu Direct, Lulu will calculate the printing and shipping costs. Once these costs are paid, the order will move to fulfillment and Lulu Direct will handle printing and shipping for you. The Lulu Direct print cost is 20% higher than the print cost for Lulu.com products. This additional print cost reflects the value we provide with our automated ecommerce solutions, additional features and functionality, and the current print-on-demand landscape. Lulu Direct orders will also incur a per-order fulfillment fee. Each order has a fulfillment fee that varies depending on the quantity of the order. This is a packaging and handling fee charged by our print partners, and will offset the rising costs of packaging your books for shipping in a durable, safe, and responsible manner. This small fee will appear as a line item in your order, and we suggest adding this to your checkout to pass the fee to your buyers. Please note: Taxes apply to the fulfillment fee where applicable. More information about taxes can be found here.
