We regularly ship worldwide!

This website is the only official source of Church of the Cosmic Skull merchandise, in purchasing here you are directly supporting the Church.

Currently all items ship from the UK once a week.

This is an independent operation run by the artists themselves, we are real humans who care about the things we are sending and the people we are sending them to, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns!

Upon ordering you will receive an order confirmation email, then a shipping notification email when the parcel has shipped. Not all services provide a tracking number, where applicable you will receive a tracking number email at the time of shipping.

The delivery should arrive with you within the specifed transit time, from the date of receiving the shipping notification email. Please see estimated transit times for the different services below.

For orders which include pre-order items the delivery time is often extended considerably, and is based on the items arrival with us. See the pre-order tab below for more information.

If you require your items to be shipped faster or by a certain date, using special delivery, this might possible by contacting us via email before you make your order: contact@cosmicskull.org

Please note shipping times may be affected by the coronavirus pandemic, we thank you for your patience and equanimity.

We now offer a range of shipping methods which will be selectable depending on your location and the total value of your parcel. Multiple items are shipped in one package, with the shipping automatically calculated to reduce costs to you. Basically the more items you order, the more you save on shipping costs.

Although instances of loss and damage are very rare, rest assured all shipping methods are fully insured to the value of the parcel contents.

Due to the recent (massive) price hikes for Royal Mail shipping to the US, we have found an alternative solution with prices that are even better than before the hike. The USPS Smartmail service means we can ship a vinyl record insured and tracked to the US for a very reasonable price, with even further savings for multiple items and bundles. If you don’t see this service available please ensure you have selected your state in the address form. It will also only work when the currency selector at the top of the shop pages is set to USD. Unfortunately this service does not include Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the US Virgin Islands.

We believe plastic should be reserved for special items that are built to last, such as CDs, cassettes and vinyl – not disposable packaging!

Where possible, all our merchandise is now shipped using 100% recyclable, biodegradable and sustainable, highest-protection-available packing materials, from UK based industry leader ‘Lil Packaging’.

Vinyl: FLP
CD: A-CD mailers
T-Shirts: ‘Lil Bag’ mailers
Bundles: FLP or CLP large mailers

Pre-order items are available to purchase before we have the items for shipping. This is a fantastic way for independent  bands and artists to fund expensive production runs such as vinyl without resorting to kickstarter campaigns or other such programs.

Orders with multiple items ship in one package, so packages which include pre-orders will ship when all of the items are available.

If you would like non-preorder items to ship as soon as possible, please checkout separately.

Please note the estimated time of arrival (eta) on each pre-order before purchasing, and add this to the estimated time of delivery denoted by your chosen shipping method.

For instance if you purchase a pre-order with an eta of 1st June, using Standard International shipping (14 days), you can expect the item to be delivered to you by June 15th. 

Items marked with ‘backorder available’ are out of stock but due to be restocked very soon, usually within 14 days of backorders being made available. 

Please add this to the estimated time of arrival!

This is a good time to order larger sizes of apparel as it is impractical for us to stock high numbers of these items!

We have set up a sync to our Facebook and Instagram shop pages, but unfortunately some prices are syncing incorrectly, in random currencies and sometimes displaying discounted prices. These are errors we are working to fix, the prices on this site are correct. We thank you for your patience and equanimity!

There are various bundles available on this website which provide astonishing discounts to all visitors!

We also have site wide ongoing discounts for members of the top secret subscription program, which you can find out more about here!

We are a completely independent rock group and spiritual organisation, so your support means everything to us!

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us via email: contact@cosmicskull.org
