Our Thoughts on Buying from Amazon, Novalis, and U.S. Orthodox Publishers
We understand the convenience of ordering books and Orthodox items from the United States or other sources. However, we want to share why ordering directly from St Nicholas Orthodox Books matters—both for you and for the preservation of Orthodox faith, tradition, and history here in Canada.
When you order from individual U.S. publishers or suppliers, you often face high shipping costs, currency exchange fees, and customs duties. By ordering through us, you gain access to a larger selection of books, icons, incense, and other Orthodox items, all in one convenient Canadian location: stnick.ca.
Purchasing directly from St Nicholas Orthodox Books also supports our mission: to partner with reputable publishers and translators worldwide to distribute rich theological texts that preserve the Orthodox Faith, tradition, and history in Canada. Buying in larger quantities allows us to lower our costs, which can translate into savings for you.
Next time you think, “I’ll just buy it from Amazon, Novalis, or a U.S. supplier,” consider the convenience, cost savings, and support for Orthodox mission work that come from ordering through us. While some of our books are still available on Amazon, Novalis, and directly from publishers, your choice to purchase from St Nicholas Orthodox Bookshelps put more Orthodox resources into Canadian hands.
Not all products are available from other sources. We strive to provide our customers with a one-stop shopping experience, and if there is Orthodox merchandise you don’t see listed, simply ask—we will do our best to source it. Remember, if you’re looking for it, others are likely looking for the same items.
Thank you for supporting St Nicholas Orthodox Books—your purchasing power truly makes a difference.
