Notice concerning Amazon EU
This is a notice to address the concerns of some readers who have written to us about the long estimated delivery times for new releases on Amazon UK – the same problem, in fact, affects Amazon EU across the board. We have been looking into this matter. It seems we are not the only publisher affected in this way. From what we can gather, Amazon EU is, for reasons unknown, ordering all Chômu Press titles from the US rather than the UK printers, and this is causing delays. It seems that all titles are eventually delivered, however. Also, in all cases that have been reported to us, the actual delivery is much quicker than estimated, being completed within two weeks. Nonetheless, we are taking this seriously and looking into the problem. Anyone who has had to wait for longer than two weeks, or who has had related problems, should write to us at info at chomupress dot com.
Please also remember that there are a number of other online retail outlets that stock Chômu books, for those who would prefer not to use Amazon, including but not limited to The Book Depository (which also offers free delivery worldwide), Barnes and Noble, and WHSmith.

We had a possibly similar problem at Telos … it’s related to the discount that Amazon gets. Their web pages automatically get built to reflect wherever they can get the most discount from. So if your US printer/distributor is offering, say, 35%, but the UK one is offering 30%, then Amazon’s page will automatically show the US offering. So maybe check what discount is being offered to Amazon and it might resolve the confusion at least.
Thank you. This might be helpful. We’ll see if this is what’s happening in our case, too.
