Costs
UK delivery is included in the £59 book price. There are no surcharges at checkout, and extra copies of the same approved book ship together at no additional delivery cost.
Packaging
Books are wrapped in tissue, boxed in rigid board and sent in plain outer packaging. No pricing is included inside, which matters when it's a gift.
Tracking
You'll get a tracking link by email when your book is dispatched, and the same link appears in your account under orders.
International delivery
We're currently UK-only while we finish setting up international print routing. Ireland, the EU, the US, Canada and Australia are next. If you need a book shipped abroad in the meantime, email hello@tailswekeep.co.uk and we'll try to arrange it manually.
Missed or delayed parcels
If tracking stalls for more than three working days, contact us and we'll chase the carrier. Confirmed lost parcels are reprinted and resent at our cost.
A note on this release
Print fulfilment is not yet connected in this version of the site, so no live orders are being produced or dispatched. The timings above describe how the service will run at launch.
This page is provided as clear, plain-English information about how we intend to operate. It is not legal advice, and it will be reviewed by a solicitor before trading begins.
