Frequently Asked Questions [original text when store is open]


How long does it take to get my order?

We’re a volunteer organization, so it generally takes a week to 10 days for orders to be processed.

Can I pick up my order?

Yes! If you chose the “Pick up” option when you placed your order, you will get an email notification when the order is ready. It will instruct you to come to our office at

4 West 43rd Street, between 5th & 6th Avenues

The office is open on Tuesday & Thursday from 12:30pm-5:00pm. (Check the website or call in case of unexpected closure.)

Our office/bookstore is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon-5pm. Online orders can only be picked up at the office on those days/times as long as you choose the “pickup” option when you buy CAL online.

Do you ship orders?

Yes! We ship orders weekly, via US mail. If you’ve chosen the “Shipping” option, when your order is ready to go, we email tracking information.

Can I shop for CAL in person?

Yes! Our office/bookstore is open on Tuesday and Thursday, from 12:30-5pm. You can visit, browse, and buy literature at 4 West 43rd Street, suite 308. But remember, if you’ve already ordered books online for pickup, you’ll need come on Tuesday or Thursday when the office is open.
