Shipping Questions
We have a current processing time of 2-4 weeks. At this time, we are within our quoted shop processing time.
Because our team works quickly, changes to orders may not be able to be honored. If your order has shipped, our team is unable to make any changes. Because of this, we highly recommend taking an extra look at your order before placing it to ensure everything is correct (including quantities, shipping address, etc).
Preorders and monthly subscription boxes will ship per the timeframe stated in the listing.
KINDLY NOTE: During large sales, new product drops, or other situations that may largely increase our order load, the shop processing time may increase. Typically this is shared upon the announcement of the sale/product drop and accompanied by your order confirmation email stating the processing time.
DOMESTIC: Shipping typically takes 1-7 business days from the day your order has officially been picked up by our shipping provider. Kindly Note: It can take 1-3 business days for your order to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. This shipping quote starts when your order's tracking shows your package has been accepted by our shipping partner.
INTERNATIONAL: Shipping typically takes 1-8 weeks, depending on your location, from the day your order has officially been picked up by our shipping provider. Kindly Note: It can take 1-3 business days for your order to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. This shipping quote starts when your order's tracking shows your package has been accepted by our shipping partner.
KINDLY NOTE FOR ALL: The above quotes are estimates and are flexible to change. Delays can be expected during peak seasons, global crises' and any/all factors that affect our shipping providers and customs.
Yes❣️ we ship everywhere except the EU, Northern Ireland, UK & Mexico. For all international orders, The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box is not responsible for any fees at customs. For international shipping costs please check HERE.
All International orders are shipped via the DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) service. The consumer is responsible for duty, tax, and customs collection fees upon delivery. The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box does not collect duty, tax, and any customs collection fees from the customer upon checkout, and does not utilize the DDP (Delivery Duty Prepaid) service. With this in mind, The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box is not signed up for EU IOSS clearance and will not provide an IOSS number.
EU & NORTHERN IRELAND SHIPPING: Due to the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) on December 13th, 2024. This new regulation imposes significant requirements on businesses, including small independent ones like ours, to have a legal representative within the EU.
Unfortunately, complying with these new regulations would be a costly and time-consuming process for our small business. Until a workable solution is found that is within the new regulations and affordable to our small business, we've made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend shipping and stop accepting online orders to the EU and Northern Ireland, effective December 13th, 2024. We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you have an existing order that has not yet shipped, please be assured that we will fulfill it as planned.
For our Bookish & Darkly Monthly Box Subscribers, you have until December 15th, 2024, to update your shipping address for any upcoming renewals to a non-EU address by contacting our Customer Service Team at hello@thebookishbox.com. At this time, we recommend looking into an address-forwarding service (such as Stackery). If you feel comfortable using an address-forwarding service, please supply the new shipping address to our Customer Service Team by December 15th.
If we don't receive an address update by December 15th, your subscription will be automatically canceled on December 17th. This would mean, you would not renew for the January 2025 box.
This does not affect any orders (preorders, shop orders, subscription box orders) that you’ve placed before December 13th, 2025.
UK SHIPPING: Due to VAT requirements, we are currently unable to ship to the UK/ accept orders with a UK shipping address. We highly recommend using a forwarding service (such as Stackry) to receive all your Bookish Goodies!
The Bookish Shop, The Bookish Box and The Bookish Box are not responsible for any payment due during customs, nor can any entity listed make changes to any payment due during customs.
Because our team works quickly, changes to orders may not be able to be honored. Because of this, we highly recommend taking an extra look at your order before placing it to ensure everything is correct (including quantities, shipping address, etc)
If your order has shipped, our team is unable to make any changes.
If your order has not shipped, our team can attempt to update your shipping address, however it may not update in the system in which we purchase the labels in time before a label is purchased. With this, we can update your shipping address on your order, and there is a good chance it will update in the label purchasing system in-time, however it is not guaranteed.
We highly suggest setting up address forwarding with the shipping carrier used for your specific box to ensure your box reaches you safely. If you are unsure of the shipping carrier, you will know the shipping carrier when the tracking number is emailed to you.
ALL: It can take 1-3 business days for your order to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. Once your order has reached our shipping provider, it can take another 1-5 business days for your order to properly be scanned in and sorted. With this in mind, please allow 3-10 business days for your tracking to update. If it has been over 10 business days since your tracking has updated last, please reach out to the shipping provider to inquire about your order's whereabouts.
INTERNATIONAL: In addition to the above, international shipments are generally not updated as frequently through transit. Tracking does not update from port to port- so if your last update was that your order was reaching the US port, you will typically not receive another update until your order reaches the next port. International shipments typically take 1-8 (we've even seen 10!) weeks to deliver. If your box has not been delivered by the 8-10 week mark, please reach out to the shipping provider to inquire about your order's whereabouts.

When we ship your box, you will receive a tracking number via email, and the tracking will be attached to your corresponding order. Once your package is picked up by our shipping provider, it is the responsibility of the shipping provider, and is out of our hands.
If your package is showing as delivered, but you are not seeing your package, please double check your front porch, as well as with your nearby neighbors, as your box may have accidentally been dropped off there.
If you do not receive your package, please reach out to your local post office and/or the shipping provider used before sending an email to our Customer Service Team. If they confirm your package has been lost, please reach out to our Customer Service Team, and we can assist with setting up a replacement (if stock allows). If your tracking shows delivered, but you have not received your package, it is required that you reach out to our Customer Service Team within 7 business days of your tracking showing "delivered" to report a lost or stolen package.
If we are able to send a replacement box, we do require the reshipment fee to be covered by the customer, and we will cover the cost of the product.
If your package is lost or stolen and we either are unable to send a replacement box and/or the customer requests to not have a replacement box sent and instead would like a refund, the refund given will exclude the cost of shipping.
For lost or stolen boxes, if we have enough stock left over to replace your box, we will gladly do so. We do require a payment to cover the re-shipping fee, but we will cover the cost of the products.
Preorders will ship per the timeframe stated in the listing. If for any reason we are having a delay with a preorder, this will be shared on our Shipping Updates Page.
You will receive an email containing your tracking number once your preorder has entered our packaging phase. This tracking number will also be attached to your order.
PLEASE NOTE: If an order placed experiences delays (preorders, monthly boxes, shop orders), this supersedes the cancellation/refund policy. If an order placed has delays, we will always allow a cancellation/refund, before the order ships or before fulfillment on that monthly box/preorder begins.
We are unable to combine orders.
Shop items will always ship separately from a subscription box or preorder.
Our Shipping Updates Page contains the most up-to-date information concerning our fulfillment schedule. This page is updated every Monday by 3 P.M. PT, but also when a major update occurs.

Payment Questions
Return Policy: All items are final sale. If you receive anything defective, in any way, please reach out to our Customer Service Team within 7 business days of receiving an item if you need to report a problem.
Every now and again, we may be able to step outside our policy and offer a return. In this case, we do require the original item to be sent back to our office (cost not covered by The Bookish Shop). Once the item arrives back to our HQ, a refund can then be issued.
Cancellation Policy: Orders are able to be canceled within 48 hours of ordering or until the order has shipped- whichever occurs first. We work quickly to get your order in the works, so it is possible your order may ship before you reach the 48-hour mark. If your order has shipped, we are unable to cancel your order even if it has not been 48 hours. If your order has not shipped, but it has been over 48 hours since the order was placed, we are unable to cancel your order.
Refunds are typically available in 1-7 business days. However, this is based off your bank's policies. Once we issue the refund, it is in the bank's hands to process the refund. A confirmation email is sent to you when we issue a refund. If you've received this, we are now awaiting your bank to approve the refund.
KINDLY NOTE: If an order placed experiences delays (preorders, monthly boxes, shop orders), this supersedes the cancellation/refund policy. If an order placed has delays, we will always allow a cancellation/refund, before the order ships or before fulfillment on that monthly box/preorder begins.

When we receive a chargeback, in order to protect our company- we no longer accept orders from that customer, and we cancel any open orders as well. This is what we have been instructed to do by our bank to protect our company from fraudulent chargebacks.
Generally, before moving forward with cancelations, we reach out to the customer to inquire about why a chargeback was placed. If this chargeback is confirmed to be placed in error, we would need this chargeback to be dropped within the stated timeframe in order to keep all open orders and accept future orders. We make a note to not ship any open orders until this is sorted out. We hate bringing this your way, but chargebacks are extremely hurtful for all businesses, especially for small businesses like us. Not only is it a refund, but we also receive a hefty charge from the bank as well.
There are several reasons a discount code may not be working. However, most reasons can be specific to the discount code you are attempting to use. Here are the most common reasons we see discount codes not working:
- The discount code is being entered incorrectly. Please attempt to re-enter the code to be sure there are no typos.
- The discount code has expired. We do not accept expired discount codes.
- The discount code is 1 per person, and you've used the discount code previously.
- The discount code may only be used by a customer account that has been granted access to use the discount code.
- A discount has already been applied to your order, so no additonal discounts can be added.
Preorder cancelation requests must be emailed within 48 hours of purchasing. Cancellations will not be made after 48 hours of the order being placed.
KINDLY NOTE: If an order placed experiences delays (preorders, monthly boxes, shop orders), this supersedes the cancellation/refund policy. If an order placed has delays, we will always allow a cancellation/refund, before the order ships or before fulfillment on that monthly box/preorder begins.

In the event that we don't have stock to send a replacement item out, we will always do our best to remedy the situation. This occurrence is few and far between, but worth mentioning. For items retailing at a high value (such as an Exclusive Luxe Edition book), we will request either: (A) the damaged item be sent back to our HQ. We will pay for the shipment fee. Upon the arrival of your damaged item, we will send out your replacement. (B) that you use a permanent marker to write your name across the front of the item (if it's a book: hardcover of the book). You'd provide us a photo of this, and we can then proceed with our replacement process. (C) that you use a razor blade to the item, to further damage it to avoid reselling the item. You'd provide us a photo of this, and we can then proceed with our replacement process.

Wooden wick candles require a little different strategy than normal cotton wicks. Here are some tips and tricks:
- Make sure your wick is trimmed to between 1/8" - 3/16" before lighting. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick and the wick flame will extinguish.
- Wooden wicks do need a little attention and tending to before each burn, similar to cotton wicks. Be sure to gently snap off the ash or burnt wood along the top edge of the wick and then light as usual.
- If when burning the candle for a long period of time you notice the flame height getting too low, it may be necessary to tap off any excess ash or burtn wood along the top of the wick. The flame will then return to it's proper optimal height.
- Be very careful to not let any debris from the wick (or anything else!) fall into the candle.
- Extinguish the candle when 1/2" of wax is remaining.
- Do not burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
If these don't fix an issue you are experiencing, please reach out to our Customer Service Team.

- Ensure you are logged into the Bookish Account associated with your active Bookish Box or Darkly Box subscription.
- Once you are logged into the correct account, you'll be able to access the preorder listing by clicking into the listing.
- Once the preorder is added to your cart, you can proceed to checkout as normal.
KINDLY NOTE: Early access is only available for active Bookish Box or Darkly Box subscribers. An active subscriber is someone whose subscription account is set to active, not canceled. When a subscriber skips a monthly renewal, their account is not canceled and is still set as active.

If you are unable to access the preorder listing during early access, please try:
- Ensure you are logged into the Bookish Account associated with your Active Bookish Box or Darkly Box subscription. Sometimes customers have multiple accounts created, so be sure you are logged into the account that you see your active subscription on. If you are unsure as to the email address for the account associated with your active subscription, which ever email address you received your subscription order confirmation email to is likely the email to your Bookish Account associated with your active subscription.
- Once you are logged into the correct account, you'll be able to access the preorder listing.
KINDLY NOTE: When a subscriber skips a monthly renewal, their account is not canceled and is still set as active. As long as your account is active, not canceled, you can utilize your early access.
KINDLY NOTE: If you are experiencing issues logging into your account, it may be because your account was not activated. An activation email was sent when you first checked out.
