Shipping & Delivery
Ready to ship items
Ready-to-ship items will be shipped within 1-3 business days.
Made-to-order items
Custom and personalised handmade books and journals require time to process. An item will be shipped within 1-2 weeks (estimated time), unless there are any pending changes to the design (for some specific personalised items). The shipment date may be adjusted according to the order load.
If you would like to receive an order on specific date or would like the order to be rushed (expedited service available for extra cost) please email us at booksbindfaye@gmail.com prior to checkout, to see if it would be possible.
Order for Holiday
- U.S. domestic: the order must be completed by December 1st for made-to-order items. Orders placed after this date may or may not be arrived on time. (Please, keep in mind that handmade items need some time to process)
- International: the order must be placed at least 1 month (by November 20th) ahead since the item will need at least 2 weeks or more to ship internationally. However, I still could not guarantee that it will arrive on time.
We ship worldwide from California. Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply.
