Frequently asked questions

Cancellations

An order may be cancelled, within 24 hours of ordering, unless you have already received your shipping notification, in which case your book may already be off to you.

A $1.00 cancellation/restocking fee does apply, to cover the costs of the ended listing and subsequent re-listing of the item.

How do you ship your books?

Have no fear, these books are too crisp to be tossed in a piece of flimsy ass plastic and hoisted into the merciless hands of the United States Postal Service.

At Bookshop Apocalypse, all books are shipped in a protective plastic collector's sleeve, then typically bubble wrapped (or alternative padding), before being placed in a bubble mailer and sent off to you. This way, when it arrives, it still looks like it does in the pictures! 🤗

Do you accept Returns?

Sure. Returns are accepted for anyone dissatisfied with their purchase for a full refund.

Returns are only granted if item received did not arrive in the promised condition.

Return Requests must be made on the the day of delivery,

Do you offer INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING?

International shipping is offered at request. Just send a message for a shipping quote, and a shipping option to your country will be custom added to the item of interest.
