Worldwide (to everywhere) (but see also Western Europe below)
The main place for ordering CDROMs is via the Computer Shop of Calgary (the oldest continuously operating computer store in the world). You can make a purchase in the following ways:

WWW credit card ordering:

(If you use Netscape 3 or an older version of IE, you may need to update your Thawte root certificate and restart your browser).

Telephone ordering:
To order by phone, dial 1 (403) 243-4356. Please phone during weekdays, during the daytime, in North American Mountain Time. (Occasionally service is available after hours: 5PM-9PM weeknights and 10AM-9PM weekends. You can give it a try.) Have your Mastercard, VISA, or American Express ready.

If you need to contact the Computer Shop directly, email to Austin Hook. Major Institutions can fax purchase orders to the Computer Shop at 1 (403) 243-2684 (FAX).

Mail order:
Additionally, you can also mail USD or Canadian cheques (in Canada, CDN$46.01 will cover postage and shipping) to:

The Computer Shop

Postage will vary depending on your location relative to the shipping address. Special instructions should be specified in the comments of the order. By default we ship as follows: Shipments of single CD sets to USA and Canada will be sent by First Class (Air)mail. For other countries, and for small shipments, we will typically use AirMail "Small Packet" class. Note that these regular postal services are not trackable (you knew that, right?), and shipping is FOB our depot. Say "please insure" in the comments, if you want postal insurance and read carefully the discussion about shipping insurance below.

To insure or not to insure? Items lost in the regular mail are at your risk and expense. You agree to accept our shipping records as the final proof of shipment. However, if a problem does occur, your affidavit that the parcel was not received, plus our shipping records, are generally sufficient to persuade Canada post to refund postage paid. Secondly, under such circumstances, we will replace items lost, at manufacturing cost, which is at most half price, and almost trivial for CD sets and posters. For example a poster gone missing in the mail can be replaced for $2.

Cost of insurance will vary according to the value of the shipment, except that for small shipments there is a minimum cost of about $7-10 (CDN $ in Canada, US $ elsewhere) - which is why we usually recommend not to insure for small shipments. Moreover, inside USA and Canada, there is a service called (Priority) Express Post, which in addition to trackability and guaranteed faster delivery, includes some insurance. See further discussion below.

Default insurance for air parcels > 1 kg to USA: Our post office offers default insurance up to $100 CDN (about $65 US) for air parcels weighing more than 1 kg and that means, really, twice or more than that amount, since we replace losses at cost. So for shipments of approximately 5 or more T-shirts (depending on size) or 9 or more CD ROM sets, you can trust there is at least some insurance, since by default we ship by air.

Default insurance for air parcels > 2 kg sent outside USA/Canada: Our post office offers default insurance of up to $100 CDN (about $65 US) for air parcels weighing more than 2 kg. (comments in previous paragraph apply here too).

Registration: Outside USA/Canada we typically "register" parcels for weights between 0.2 kg and 2.0 kg. Cost of registration is $7-10 US in addition to the "small packet air" postage. Registration includes $40 US of insurance. You may specify not to register if you wish to accept the risk, or you may specify "please do register" if you are not certain if your package will registered (since otherwise we will use our own judgment, sometimes depending on experience with various countries).

In USA/Canada less than 1% of items go missing in the mail; it might be yours, yet paying for postal insurance is an expensive gamble. But if you absolutely can't stand risk, do insure by all means. In North America consider specifying Express Mail (trackable), or a courier like FEDEX (also trackable).

Note that postage cost for a CD set is expected to be around $3 - $5 USD (yes, that is in addition to the base $30 USD price). Packages will generally be mailed from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (Some US orders are mailed from a US depot -- but unlikely at initial release time). Typical airmail postage rates for quantity 1 are roughly:

Canada $3 CDN. Expect 7 days.
USA $3 USD ($4 CDN). Expect 7 - 10 days.
World $4 USD ($5 CDN). Expect two weeks.

EXPRESS POST A new service, previously not available, but for Canada and USA only, is Express Post, with 3-6 day delivery, up to $50 insurance included, and trackability from Canadapost This is now an new option on the web order form.

For a single CD set:

Canada $7. Expect 3 - 4 days.
USA $10. Expect 4 - 6 days.

If you want your CD to come very quickly, you can choose Fedex or UPS overnight. Note, that for single CD's it is cheaper to get overnight delivery than to get 2 or 3 day delivery! If you choose overnight, you very likely do NOT want to use the Internet web ordering system, but rather want to order your package by phoning the Computer Shop phone number (403 243-4356). By phoning before 3PM Mountain Time, you can usually have it by early the next morning!

If you are ordering the CD plus other items, consider having only the CD sent by overnight and other things by regular airmail or express post. CD's are relatively inexpensive to send by courier (we class them as documents), whereas T-shirts, and especially posters, are quite expensive that way. Sometimes, particularly for posters, we will guess that this is what you want to do. Say in the comments if you really want all items sent by courier, even posters.

For Canada, and USA only, you may specify "use credit card" in the box where it says courier account number. In that case we will pass on your credit card number to the courier company. You will get a separate debit from them (for the shipping portion only). But we prefer if you do have a courier account number already. If requesting shipping to a company address, ask if they have one that can be used (or phone FEDEX or UPS and ask what it is).

Typical Fedex or UPS priority shipping rates for quantity 1 are roughly:

Canada $13.00 CDN. Overnight if phoned in before 3PM MST.
USA $19 USD ($28 CDN). Overnight (to most cities) if phoned in before 3PM MST.
World $36 USD ($55.00 CDN) -- 2 to 4 day service. Must have courier account #. If necessary, apply for one or, otherwise, use insured AIR MAIL post for the closest equivalent.

Partial shipments: Sometimes a T-shirt of a certain size might not be in stock. We will sometimes not send final partial shipments by Express Post or courier even when Express Post or courier is specified on the order form. Give specific instructions in the comments of the order if wanting to override this possible judgement call on our part.
