Paperback Shipping FAQ

How much will I pay in shipping?

It depends on your location, but don't worry—it will be calculated at checkout so you see the full price before finalizing your purchase. Note that if you're typically charged duty fees on products shipped from outside your country, those may also be charged upon delivery.

When will my paperback order arrive?

Orders are printed and shipped by one of Bookvault's four global fulfillment centers. Delivery time will vary depending on where the book is printed and where it’s going. Based on past orders, we can estimate 12-15 days for deliveries within the US and Canada. Elsewhere, delivery time will be closer to 14-21 days. 

Can I track my order?

We know how important it is to be able to follow the progress of your order, so we’ve enabled shipping options that offer tracking services. When your order is sent out, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email that contains tracking information. If you don’t get this email or it doesn’t have a tracking number, please contact us directly.

Why buy a paperback from you when I can order it elsewhere and get it faster?

This is a great question! There are a few reasons to buy products directly from an author.

·     You’re supporting independent authors and printers rather than big-box entities. Thank you!

·     The author gets paid within days (rather than months).

·     It gives the author more control over their product so they’re not dependent on other distributors and subject to their policies.

·     And, of course, cutting out the middleman ensures that more of the sale goes to the author, as it should.

What if I need to return a book?
