Will gift recipients see prices or my billing info?
PACKING SLIPS AND CHARGES  
When you order directly from The Unemployed Philosophers Guild website (PhilosophersGuild.com), the shipment arrives with a packing slip that lists the items in the shipment. However, no prices or billing information appears on packing slips, individual items, or packaging.
Receipts are emailed separately to the sender’s email account at time of checkout.

The Shipping Philosophers are jarringly wise; however, they possess limited power over jam-packed seasonal delivery trucks, Mother Nature, or entropy… and this keeps them humble. We implore your patience and compassion and thank you in advance for your understanding of utilitarianism, the categorical imperative, and thermodynamics.
Help! I am a seeker of wisdom…or just confused and crave audience with the Oracle at UPG.
UPG’s expert Shipping Philosophers are available for discourse and prognostication during philosophical business hours: 
Monday through Friday 9:30AM to 5:00PM-ish  Brooklyn Ivory Tower time 
(except November 23rd & 24th, December 22nd, 25th, 26th, and January 1st ).
