Recent Lulu.com Customer Questions

I need control of the book I authored; only my publisher, it seems, has an account with you. How should I proceed?

If you're an author whose book was published with Lulu.com by someone else, such as a publishing company or a private individual, it's essential to know that the account holder has control over the book publication. The best step to take in this situation is to contact your publisher and discuss with them any changes or access you desire. They are the ones who hold the account and would need to make adjustments or provide you with access accordingly. As per Lulu.com's policies, control can't be transferred without the account holder's permission.

They are selling my ebooks at over $460 on Apple Books

It's possible for eBook prices on retail partner sites like Apple Books to vary due to exchange rates, taxes, and other factors. However, a significant price increase like what you've mentioned seems unusual. It's also important to note that Lulu.com cannot control the prices set by retail partners. If the price discrepancy is significant and consistent across multiple regions, it might be best to review the pricing and distribution settings on your Lulu.com account. If everything seems correct there, you may need to reach out to Apple Books directly, as Lulu might not have the power to alter prices on that platform.

I need to change an address on an order for books

Unfortunately, once an order is placed on Lulu.com, we aren't able to change the shipping address. This is because as soon as the order is confirmed, it goes into production immediately for fast delivery. If you made an error in the shipping information, we recommend cancelling the order immediately and place a new one with the correct details. Remember to review your information carefully before you finalize your order.

I was calling because the quality of the 500 books I just received is not good. The margins vary from page to page. As I flipped through, I could clearly see the margins float closer to and further away from the edge of the page.

We're sorry to hear about the issue with your order. Lulu.com endeavors to ensure that all books meet the highest standards of quality, and this certainly includes consistency in the printing and binding process. A key part of this is maintaining uniform margins. If the margins in your books are inconsistent, this may indicate a problem in the printing process. We recommend you get in touch directly with Lulu's customer service team to discuss the problem and possible solutions, as they are equipped to handle situations like these and ensure your satisfaction. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.
