About Blue Crow Media

Blue Crow Media is an independent publisher specializing in carefully researched and beautifully designed city maps, guidebooks, calendars, and other print products that focus on architecture, urban design, and related themes. Founded by Derek Lamberton and based in London, the company is best known for its series of Brutalist, Modernist, and Art Deco city maps and architectural guides, which it sells worldwide through its website and stockists such as bookshops and museum stores.([bluecrowmedia.com](https://bluecrowmedia.com/pages/about-us?utm_source=openai))

A charge from Blue Crow Media on a card statement typically arises from purchasing one or more of their maps, books, or bundled sets via their online store, or occasionally from buying these products through a retailer that processes payments under the publisher’s name. Orders may be charged in different currencies (commonly GBP, but sometimes displayed in local currency equivalents for international customers), and multi-item or pre-ordered shipments may appear as multiple related charges, which can explain descriptors like “1 of 2” on a statement. Depending on your bank, you might also see small temporary authorization holds when you first place an order, which are later reversed once the final sale amount posts.

If you’re unsure about a Blue Crow Media charge, start by checking your email for order confirmations from their website and reviewing your past orders in your account (if you created one at checkout). Compare the date and amount of the card charge with any recent map or book purchases, including gifts or pre-orders. For additional help, you can contact Blue Crow Media through the contact options on their official website, providing your name, approximate order date, and the last four digits of your card so they can locate the transaction. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact your card issuer to discuss dispute options while they investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Blue Crow Media charge on my card statement?

You’re likely seeing a charge from Blue Crow Media because you or someone with access to your card purchased one of their architecture or city maps, guidebooks, calendars, or bundle sets through their online store or a retailer that processes payments under their name. Check your recent online orders and email receipts for purchases from bluecrowmedia.com that match the date and amount of the charge.

What types of products does Blue Crow Media usually charge for, and what are common amounts?

Blue Crow Media typically charges for individual printed maps, books, and curated sets. Single folded maps often fall around the equivalent of £10 each, books and larger titles can be higher, and multi-map or book bundles can total significantly more. If your statement shows a mid-range charge, it may correspond to a set of several maps or a larger-format book order rather than a single item.([bluecrowmedia.com](https://bluecrowmedia.com/?utm_source=openai))

Why does my statement say something like “1 of 2” or show multiple Blue Crow Media charges on the same day?

Multiple charges or wording such as “1 of 2” usually indicates that your order was split into more than one payment or shipment—common when you purchased several items, pre‑ordered a title that ships later, or when tax and shipping are processed separately by the payment system. Review your order confirmation to see how many items and shipments were included, and compare each line item with the posted card charges.

How can I get a receipt or invoice for my Blue Crow Media purchase?

When you place an order through bluecrowmedia.com, an email confirmation with your order details is automatically sent to the address you entered at checkout. That email serves as your receipt. If you can’t find it, search your inbox and spam folder for “Blue Crow Media.” If it’s still missing, contact them via their website with your name, purchase date, and approximate amount to request a copy of your invoice.

How do I request a refund or resolve a problem with my Blue Crow Media order?

To request a refund—for example, for a damaged item, incorrect product, or non‑delivery—use the contact form or support email listed on bluecrowmedia.com and include your order number, photos of any damage, and a description of the issue. They can advise you on returns, replacements, or refunds according to their policies. Always try resolving the issue directly with Blue Crow Media first; if you cannot, you can then speak with your card issuer about dispute options.

Does Blue Crow Media offer subscriptions or recurring billing?

Blue Crow Media primarily sells one‑off products such as maps, books, and calendars rather than subscription services.([bluecrowmedia.com](https://bluecrowmedia.com/?utm_source=openai)) If you see repeat charges, it may be because you placed multiple separate orders (for example for gifts or new releases), or another household member used your card. Review your order history and email confirmations to confirm whether each charge corresponds to a distinct purchase.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate Blue Crow Media charge that later disappears?

Some banks display an initial authorization hold when you place an order—often a small or duplicate-looking amount—to confirm that your card is valid. Once Blue Crow Media’s payment processor finalizes the transaction, the pending authorization should drop off automatically, leaving only the final charge. This can take a few business days depending on your bank’s processing times.

How can I contact Blue Crow Media about a suspicious or unrecognized charge?

Go to bluecrowmedia.com and use the contact or support page to reach their team, including your full name, the last four digits of the card, the exact amount, and the transaction date shown on your statement. They can check their order records to confirm whether a purchase was made and provide details. If they cannot find a matching order and you still suspect fraud, immediately contact your card issuer to block further use and start a dispute investigation.
