We have tried to mitigate how often the captcha comes up when logging into our site. However, because we are using the Shopify services they may require you to prove you are not a bot. When clicking on captcha images, it is best to move your mouse in a circular motion because this will also help prove you are not a bot. Bots are incapable of moving in circular motions.
If you continue to have issues with the site, try using the Shop app where you can also make purchases from Chalcedon and track your packages.
Orders that require shipping within the U.S. will be delivered within three to ten days, depending on your preferred shipping method and how far away you are from us. Shipping outside of the U.S. may take 14 to 30 days. Please check the tracking information provided to see if there is a delay with USPS or UPS. Please get in touch if your order hasn’t been delivered according to the expected timescales, and we will check your order status.
This is automatically sent to your email address when you place an order. If you haven’t received your order confirmation within 24 hours, please get in touch at orders@chalcedon.edu just in case there’s a problem with your order.

If not, we’ll despatch your order and then you can return it to us if you wish upon receiving it.
Yes. We’ll provide updates at every stage of your order, from the moment you place it, through to despatch and delivery. In your delivery confirmation emails, you’ll receive a tracking reference which you can use to check the progress of your order online. You can use the Shop app to track all orders placed with Chalcedon.
Shipping costs depend on the item you’ve ordered and the country where it’s being delivered. You can always check the cost of shipping by adding your items to your cart and starting the check out process.
Unfortunately, orders leaving the U.S. are expensive. For customers who reside in Canada you may consider shipping your order just over the border on the U.S. side and either having someone bring it to you order retrieve it when you are able. This will bring the shipping down considerably.
Shopify has a limit of bundling only 10 products which prevented us from putting all 14 volumes into one bundle. So the first 10 volumes of Bell Mountain are in their own set and the last 4 and anymore to come will be in the second set. The discount rate for them is the same as if they were one big bundle so you will continue to get 25% (or greater if applicable) when you order.
Each item has a format listed above the price of the title (in the products description page).
All products have their format listed under the title and in the description information.
In some cases, our hardback books where printed more than a decade ago which means the printing price was considerabely cheaper than it is today or in recent years. This can make hardbacks less than their paperback equivelant.
Yes, all our books are available on Amazon. While we do not fault you for purchasing through Amazon, we ask, whenever possible, to purchase directly from us. Typically you can get a better price through Chalcedon's Store as we do not offer any discount through Amazon due to high fees charged by Amazon.
The high fees Amazon charges can take more than half to all of the profit. We list our books on Amazon to help people find Chalcedon with the hope they will purchase from us in the future.
We are setting up Amazon Pay so you can use your Amazon gift cards to pay for our products directly from our online store.
Right now you can find all your digital downloads from the previous Chalcedon Store at our Archive Site's Download Dashboard. If you lose access to our archive site please email us at orders@chalcedon.edu and we can make sure any past purchases are in your new Chalcedon Store account.
We accept the following credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. We also accept payment by PayPal, Apple Pay, Meta, Google Pay, Shop Pay and Venmo. If you decide to use either of these methods, you’ll be taken to either their processing system, where you’ll be prompted to log in and process your payment. You’ll then be directed back to our merchant website once your transaction is complete.
If you would prefer to send a check, please go through the check out process and stop short of submitting your order. This should get you the total amount needed to purchase your item.
We had hoped to have the ability to use Amazon Pay but because we are a non-profit Amazon will not allow it.
If you received a refund from us, it is likely because something was calculated incorrectly on your order. If a discount isn't applied or a better price is available; we try to make sure our customers get their money back.
Unfortunately, we do not have this option as the United States Postal Service has removed sea freight options for international shipping. They have chosen to make all their shipping options air mail.
The only options we are given are as follows:
We realize places like Amazon are offering smaller shipping costs. This is often due to arrangements with the US Postal Service and because as a very large world-wide company they have the ability to have mass shipping discounts where smaller companies do not.
We used to sell to a lot of bookstores outside of the US but the number has dwindled considerably in the last 15 years. We do still sell to two companies in Australia:
