Discounted Price & Process

We are able to fundraise the most with bulk orders, so they are our favourite offering and the best way to support our work. With independent booksellers and individual web orders, we normally break even, but nonetheless, we are happy to get the book out there!

As of Feb 7, 2024, for bulk orders over forty (40) books, we also offer discounted prices of $35/book (original price is $45/book) with the option to do free ground shipping, pending order confirmation from our team.

A small volunteer-run team at SUTE coordinates shipments for all orders. Therefore, we ask anyone wishing to order in bulk (i.e., over ten (10) copies) and those seeking international delivery to please submit the order form at the bottom of the page on shakeuptheestab.org/journal. Someone from our team will respond within 1-2 days to confirm your order and coordinate your shipment.

Once you submit this form, our team will provide you with a quote, and once you approve and pay the amount invoiced, we will confirm your order is placed and process your order. Following that, we will provide shipping information. Depending on the nature of your order, this process can vary in time, so please submit requests promptly so we can get this process started as soon as possible.

If you want to follow up with any additional information after you submit this form, you can email [email protected].

We accept orders via our webstore and can offer bulk orders through our website as well, but otherwise, we are currently stocking our book exclusively in value-aligned independent bookstores across so-called Canada who can carry it right into the hands of our cherished community. Currently, these stores include:

• A Different Booklist (779 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON M5S 0B7)

• Another Story Bookshop (315 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 2M6)

• Iron Dog Books (2671 E Hastings St, Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z5)

• Massy Books (229 E Georgia St, Vancouver, BC V6A 1Z6)

• Upstart & Crow (1387 Railspur Alley, Granville Island, Vancouver, BC, V6H 3R7)

• Octopus Books (116 3rd Avenue, Ottawa, ON, K1S 2K1)

If you have suggestions for other spots, or have any other inquiries, please feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected].

Price of Book

This book is self-published, full-colour, illustrated and printed locally. It has been made possible largely through the passion of youth volunteers over the course of multiple years of development, research and design. Importantly, all proceeds from book sales support our anti-colonial climate justice education & storytelling project, Righting History. Due to these factors, the book’s price is set at a suggested retail price of $45.

For some bookstores, we have our book made available through a consignment model (where usually 40% of the book sale cost goes to the bookstore, and 60% comes to SUTE. At the $45/book price point with consignment, we generally lose money (average cost to print = $28/book on average, but with 40% consignment we only make around $27/book). Still, we decided that we want to get the book out there, and in cases where we sell bulk orders through our website or at events where we table and sell it full price, then we are able to fundraise more significantly. We are grateful for everyone’s ongoing support of our work. 

Minimizing Shipping Costs

*Recommended* Ordering from independent booksellers’ webstores:

• Booksellers tend to be able to offer better shipping options from a price perspective than we can; this offering varies from seller to seller, so we encourage you to investigate our list of bookstores’ websites and/or contact them directly to facilitate shipping to you. 

Ordering from SUTE’s webstore:

• The cheapest shipping we can get from Canada Post is using the small flat-rate shipping box to ship across Canada. Unfortunately, the book is too thick to pass as letter mail, and the parcels are upwards of $20 if shipped based on their weight alone, so that’s why we’re going with flat-rate boxes, which we are selling at cost to you as our $19 shipping option. 

• We can fit up to four (4) books in one small box, so we recommend you coordinate placing orders with friends, family, and colleagues to minimize & split shipping costs. 

• For orders under ten (10) books, we will only charge you for one shipping box, even if your order requires two or three boxes.

Grabbing a copy locally by visiting an event SUTE is hosting:

• We often will bring books to sell or pick-up locally at events we host monthly; stay up-to-date on these opportunities by:

  • Subscribing to our newsletter

  • Following us on social media: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn

• We are a small volunteer-run team, so given the number of orders to fulfill, we cannot coordinate local pick-ups outside of these events. We really encourage you to “book club” our journal with your peers, family, and co-workers. Hopefully, this offers the most accessible (and most community-oriented!) experience to engage with our book, coordinate your own local pick-ups, and hopefully, have reading discussion circles!
