Electronic Payment
Our system is set up to accept most credit cards. We formerly used Paypal for all of our processing, and we are still able to accept it, but we have been moving away from it as the company has gotten increasingly hostile to Christian morality.
Payment by Check
We encourage all customers to pay by check. Yes it is slower. Yes it is less convenient. But every customer who pays by check frees us from the tyranny of card-processing companies who can destroy a business overnight merely for opposing their woke politics. Paying by check helps insulate a business like ours from cancellation.
And as an incentive to our customers, we will send a free devotional booklet to anyone who orders by check!
Checks should be made out to “Ancilla Press”.
Production Times
We manufacture many of our products in-house, including our devotional booklets. Although we try to keep stock on hand, we may occasionally have to produce more to fulfill orders. If you order a particularly large quantity of booklets, it may take us a few days to get your order together.
We welcome large orders from parishes! It helps to contact us in advance of a particularly large order, to see if we can offer you more generous discounts than what is available on our site, and to make sure we can fulfill your request in time to meet any looming holiday deadlines.
Although we run this family business in our spare time, we try to be as responsive to orders and questions as we can.
Shipping Times
Orders generally ship within a few days after receiving payment. If you’ve selected US Ground Shipping, and your order only contains books, we will most likely send it Media Mail. The US Post Office gives a range of 2-9 days for Media Mail delivery.
if you select US Ground Shipping, your order contains products that are not eligible for Media Mail, and the weight is under a pound, we will typically send it First Class. First Class package shipping times are 2-5 days. For packages over a pound, we will determine the best way to ship as required.
If you select Priority shipping, we will make every effort to have your order out in the next day or two. The Post Office estimates a delivery time of 1-3 days for Priority Mail.
Please note, however, that we do not work on Sundays or holy days of obligation. So if an order is received late on Friday, and we are unable to process it on Saturday, it may not be shipped until Monday or Tuesday. If you have concerns about receiving an order on time. please contact us in advance.
