Failed Deliveries
The Literary Gift Shop cannot be held responsible for delivery delays or failed deliveries when no one is available to receive the package at the delivery address. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure someone is present during the estimated delivery window or to arrange for alternative delivery options such as safe place delivery, collection from a local depot, or redelivery. We recommend tracking your order and coordinating with the courier service directly for any specific delivery requirements. Any additional costs incurred due to failed delivery attempts or redelivery requests will be the responsibility of the customer.
International shipping rates are calculated during checkout.
USA
When you place an order for delivery to the US, duties will be clearly displayed and collected at checkout, ensuring that you incur no additional charges upon receipt of your goods.
EU & Northern Ireland
Due to the European Union's new GPSR, we no longer ship to the EU or Northern Ireland. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Customs Charges
Please be aware that customers are responsible for any local charges and taxes that may be applicable before goods can be received. These costs are not included in the purchase price.
Packaging
All of our packaging is eco-friendly; however, we understand that some items may require extra protection due to their fragility. In such cases, we may make an exception and use packaging materials that provide the necessary cushioning and support to ensure safe delivery. To do our part for the environment, we may occasionally reuse packaging.
Split Shipments
Please note that if your order contains items of different sizes, it may be necessary to split your order into multiple shipments to ensure safe delivery. Rest assured, you will not be charged any additional shipping fees for split orders - you'll only pay the shipping charge (if applicable) that was calculated at checkout. We'll keep you informed with tracking information for each shipment so you can monitor all parts of your order.
Invoices
To save paper, we do not automatically include invoices with orders. If you would like one to be included, please leave a note at checkout or contact us via email as soon as possible.
