Q: How much is shipping?

A: There are two shipping options. Standard shipping – which we’re proud to give you free on any order over $60, and express shipping.

Q: How long would my order take to arrive?

A: With standard shipping the order is estimated to take around 8-15 working days, (though, we like to over deliver… most of our customers enjoy their product within 6 working days of purchase). Express shipping takes around 3-5 working days from when the product is shipped.

The postal service is a complex environment and orders sometimes get held up by the nosy but necessary customs officers in some places and over peak Christmas and holiday periods the whole system can slow down a little. We’d dearly like to control the postage using a team of magical reindeer, unfortunately Santa’s a bit stingy with them – so it’s a little out of our jurisdiction! Get your order in early to be sure.

A: We ship everywhere in the world, so, no matter where you are, a special kid you know can receive their very own personalized book. Ok, so it may take a while to Timbuktu, we haven’t worked much with the Mali postal service – but it will be worth the wait!

Q: The delivery date has passed, when should I receive my book?
