We're Now Offering Free Shipping (Here's Why It Takes 3 Weeks)
Share
Good news: every order now ships free.
The trade-off? Your books will arrive in about 3 weeks instead of a few days. Let me explain why we made this change and why we think it's actually better for you.
We Don't Keep Inventory Anymore
Here's the honest truth: keeping books in a warehouse is expensive. Really expensive. Those costs get passed directly to you through higher prices.
So we switched to print-on-demand. When you order a book, we print it. Your copy of Frankenstein or Pride and Prejudice doesn't exist until you want it.
What This Actually Means for You
Lower prices. Without warehouse costs and inventory risk, we can price our books more fairly. You're paying for craftsmanship and materials, not storage.
Less waste. We're not printing hundreds of books hoping they sell. We're printing the exact number that people actually want. No excess inventory ending up in landfills.
Fresh printing. Every book is produced specifically for your order, so you're getting the latest production quality. As we refine our process, you benefit immediately.
The 3-Week Timeline, Broken Down
- Production: 1 week (printing, binding, quality check)
- Shipping: 1-2 weeks in transit
- Total: About 3 weeks to your door
Yes, it's longer than Amazon Prime. But these aren't mass-produced paperbacks. Each book gets individual attention during production—we inspect every copy before it ships.
Is This Right for You?
If you need a book tomorrow, we're probably not the right fit.
But if you're building a collection, buying a gift in advance, or just appreciate the idea of something being made specifically for you—this works beautifully. The anticipation is part of the experience.
We're upfront about the timeline because we respect your time. No surprises, no "processing delays" emails. Just honest expectations from the start.
Questions?
Worried about receiving your order in time for a gift? Order 4 weeks in advance to be safe.
Want to know when your book shipped? You'll get a tracking number as soon as it leaves our printer.
The bottom line: We're choosing quality and fair pricing over speed. We think that aligns with why you're buying our dark mode books in the first place—you care about how books are made.
Thanks for your patience and support.
