Shipping & returns
Getting your order to you
We make lovely things for book lovers, not teleportation devices — so please allow a little time for your order to make its way to you!
Dispatch time: Most orders are made or prepared and dispatched within 3–5 working days, unless otherwise stated on the product listing.
Shipping: We currently deliver to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) only. Unfortunately, we do not currently ship to Northern Ireland or international destinations.
Delivery cost: We charge a flat rate of £3.25 per order.
Delivery times: Dispatch and delivery times are separate. Delivery estimates depend on the postal service and are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed.
We'll provide dispatch confirmation and tracking details where available.
We remain responsible for your order until it has been delivered to you or someone you have nominated to receive it, in accordance with your statutory rights.
If your parcel is delayed or missing, please contact us so we can help.
Changed your mind?
For most standard, non-personalised products purchased online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.
To cancel, contact us through our Contact page or email LiteraryFilth@gmail.com, clearly stating that you wish to cancel your order.
You then have a further 14 days from notifying us to return the goods.
Unless otherwise agreed, you are responsible for the direct cost of returning goods when cancelling because you've changed your mind.
Please take reasonable care of returned products. We may make a deduction from your refund if the goods have lost value because they have been handled beyond what is necessary to inspect them.
Personalised products: The standard change-of-mind cancellation right does not normally apply to goods made to your individual specifications or clearly personalised for you.
However, simply making a standard product after an order is placed does not automatically make it exempt from cancellation rights.
Made with care
Many Literary Filth products are handmade or made to order.
Please double-check your chosen design, wording, colours and personalisation details before placing your order.
If you've made a mistake, contact us as soon as possible. We'll do our best to help, but changes may not be possible once production has started.
Something wrong with your order?
If your item arrives damaged, faulty, incorrect or not as described, please contact us with your order details and, where helpful, photographs of the issue.
We'll work with you to arrange an appropriate repair, replacement or refund in accordance with your statutory consumer rights.
Where goods are faulty or not as described, we will cover reasonable return costs where required by law.
Personalised products are still protected by your statutory consumer rights.
Returning an item
Please contact us before sending a return so we can provide the appropriate return instructions and address.
You can contact us through our Contact page or at LiteraryFilth@gmail.com.
Refunds
Where you validly cancel an order under your statutory cancellation rights, we will refund the cost of the cancelled goods and the applicable standard outbound delivery charge.
If you selected a more expensive delivery option, we are not required to refund the additional cost above our standard delivery charge.
Refunds will be made using your original payment method unless otherwise agreed.
Where goods must be returned, we may withhold the refund until we receive the returned goods or you provide evidence of having sent them back, whichever is earlier.
Refunds will be issued within 14 days of that point. If no goods need to be returned, the applicable refund deadline is 14 days after we are informed of your cancellation.
Need anything else?
If you have a question about delivery, returns or an order, please get in touch and include your order number where relevant.
We'll get back to you as soon as we can — probably with a cup of tea nearby and a book we're supposed to be ignoring while working!
