SHIPPING UPDATES may now be found here.

Please email us ASAP if you have put the wrong address so we can see if we can change it before your order ships. If you let us know before your order has been shipped we will do ours best to change the address and no other actions will be needed.

If your order has been made and shipped already, your order will go out as it was entered.

We have a few options for you:

1. We can reship your order once we receive it back to our shop and then you will only have to pay for the shipping. We don't know how long it will take for the item(s) to make it back to us, but we will let you know once we have reshipped it to you.

2. We can reship your order to you ASAP at full cost of those items + shipping, unless this item is sold out/accounted for.

3. We can cancel your order and give you a full refund once it has arrived back to us (excluding the shipping fees).

Unfortunately, as a small business, we can't afford to reship items without these fees, but we never want anyone to have to pay if they are unable - that is why we offer the option for a full refund. We absolutely understand how easy it is to make these kinds of mistakes so we will do our best to work with you to get you your order in a way that works for you. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Any packages that are returned to us for an insufficient address without contact will be issued as a store credit to the customer, minus any shipping costs. Reshipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.

If a package is sent to the incorrect address, and is not returned to us, it is out of our hands and Lit Haven is not be held responsible for any loss of product or return of cost + fees.

A standard timeframe without delays would look like 2-5 days to make your item, and standard shipping 3-5 business days.

However, our current processing and fulfillment times may be a separate timeframe from the shipping selection you make at checkout, due to potential delays related to supply line issues worldwide. At this time, if this issue occurs, we find items may take 1-2 weeks for completion before they ship.

We cannot give accurate shipping times due to USPS extended delays, but we do strive for the fastest shipping time frames we are able to give. If your items are delayed on our end prior to shipping, you will be contacted.

You will receive a notice once your package has been shipped. Please ensure that your email program is set to accept messages from hi@lithavenbooktique.com.

VAT will not be charged on book only boxes as they won’t include any extra larger merchandise or VAT taxed items. The books are VAT exempt.

We are currently getting VAT approved to make sure we’re prepared to meet standards in the future, but for now you can purchase our boxes VAT free!

Merchandise VAT

Our VAT for merchandise is currently handled through our production company, but that will be updated to reflect once we have been approved.

Border Costs & Import Taxes

Border costs & import taxes will not be included in the order. Typically if there is an amount owed for this, you will be contacted by your country's custom's department by mail or phone. For the most part, printed matter is duty free!

We understand this may not be the best option for you, and do also recommend using Stackry, a third party package forwarding service.

This will be your private Stackry address in which you will purchase your items through us, ship to this address, and Stackry will reroute your package directly to you. This will hopefully allow you to save on international shipping!

Lit Haven is not responsible for additional customs fees upon receipt of your package. These charges are sometimes observed for shipments outside of the USA. Please check with your customs office to properly understand additional charges that may occur.

Our Items are made with a direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology, it uses high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.

Keep in mind that the original manufacturer's care instructions don't take into consideration the DTG printing process. So we suggest following the care instructions here to learn how to take care of your printed garments properly.

Printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.

DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don't iron the print.

Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.

As mood readers, we find this often carries over into our apparel and merchandise choices as well.

You will see a broad range of design styles in our shop, from minimalistic type and line art, to retro designs, and onto designs with edgy vibes.We strive to provide styles for each of your moods–and for every type of reader, book blogger, and writer out there to love.

Our stickers ship from a different location than our other merch, so they will arrive separately! If you have any questions on when your stickers should arrive or wish to request more information feel free to email us at help@lithavenbooktique.com

Yes! Our stickers are made to be waterproof. You can put them in the dishwasher on your favorite tumbler or water bottle with confidence. If you encounter any issues with your stickers due to water please email us at help@lithavenbooktique.com

No, you do not have to join the waiting list. However, we highly encourage it!

Our preorders are FCFS. We anticipate being able to fulfill as many spots as possible, but if an instance for a preorder limit arises due to a very high influx, the waitlist will be served first.

Not only will joining the list guarantee you receive a 10% off code towards your order by joining the list prior to the preorder going live, but you will also receive day early access to purchase, and a free mystery item within your order.

ex. Brittani is on the waitlist for Helfyre but decides she doesn't want it at the time she is given opportunity to purchase, so she skips it. We go to the Helfyre waitlist and give the first person on the list a chance to buy Brittani's Helfyre preorder. If that person doesn't want it, we go to #2, and so on.

No, some collectors editions will not include dust jackets!

You may find double-sided dust jackets on our Signature Edition books.

Yes, we absolutely will have exclusive covers on all of our collectors editions.

We believe in bringing something new to readers shelves, while simultaniously helping boost an author. We feel providing the same cover edition could potentially impede on an authors print sales even if it includes special print treatments.

In the event an author would like to include their books with special print treatments on their normal or alt version covers, we would be happy to work to find a way to help them provide this, however it would not be a Lit Haven collectors edition.

Yes! We will always show the cover of a book before purchasing a special edition from us unless it's a surprise event.

We will always aim to complete a series at some point, however many factors affect whether this is possible.

Including but not limited to, author approval, exclusivity contracts the authors may currently hold with other boxes, our capabilities for shipping, and demand.

If you miss, or can't purchase during a sale, we can not guarantee there will be a reprint or an option to purchase at a later date.

We will not have any pre-planned reprints, and there will be no plans for extras. Any extra's that may be available on our site will be scratch & dent prints or overs we no longer need to accomodate for any potential exchanges from damaged shipments. It will depend on demand, our capabilities at that time, and author approval first and foremost.
