While we visit with Kat, you'll create your very own 3-D Dream Mini-Library to display on your bookshelf at home!

FAQ

The Reader's Survival Guide to Shelf Love.

At Shelf Love, we process orders within 2-5 working business days and offer various shipping options:

  • Standard (5-10 days)
  • Expedited (2-5 days)
  • Overnight (1 day for select locations).

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.

Orders that include a pre-order item will not ship until the pre-order is ready to ship. To avoid delays, we strongly recommend placing pre-order items in a separate order from in-stock books.

We ship books to Canada.

We no longer ship books outside of North America. It is too expensive and we made the difficult decision that we can no longer support overseas shipping. Please use a service like Stackry or Ship7.

Please review the shipping policy for more information.

If your order is lost or arrives damaged, contact us at shop@shelfloveatlanta.com within 2 days of the expected delivery date.

Damaged in Transit:
If your books are damaged during shipping, please note that we can only assist if the shipping box arrives intact. Be sure to provide photos of the undamaged box so we can help determine next steps.

Carrier Damage:
If the damage was caused by USPS or the shipping carrier, you will need to file a shipping claim directly with the carrier.

Lost in Transit:
Once an order has been shipped and tracking has been provided, Shelf Love is not responsible for packages that are lost in transit. Customers must file a claim directly with the shipping carrier using the tracking number provided. Refunds will not be issued for lost items.

All Sales Are Final.

We take great care in packaging every item to ensure it arrives safely and in perfect condition. If your item arrives damaged, please contact shop@shelfloveatlanta.com within 2 days of delivery. Include clear photos of the damage. If the damage occurred during shipping (you receive a damaged box), a claim will need to be filed with the carrier.

We will not replace items if damage occurs to the box from shipping as you will need to file a claim with the shipping company.

Link to our returns policy.

Orders that include a pre-order item will not ship until the pre-order is ready to ship. To avoid delays, we strongly recommend placing pre-order items in a separate order from in-stock books.

Pre-ordering guarantees your copy before the official release date. All pre-orders will ship once the book arrives.

Release dates are set by the publisher or author and are subject to change. If a release date shifts, we’ll notify you. You’ll receive an email confirmation when your pre-order ships or is ready for in-store pickup.

Discount codes and promotional offers must be applied at the time of checkout.

Discounts cannot be applied retroactively to orders that have already been placed. Once an order is completed, the transaction cannot be adjusted to add a coupon or promotional code.

Some discounts, including new subscriber offers and customer-specific promotions, are unique code-based offers and cannot be recreated, reissued, or manually applied by staff.

All promotional codes and discount offers are delivered via email. It is the responsibility of the customer to:

  • Ensure their email address is entered correctly at signup or checkout
  • Check spam or junk folders for promotional emails
  • Whitelist shop@shelfloveatlanta.com to ensure delivery of discounts and promotional offers

Failure to receive an email due to spam filtering, incorrect email entry, or unsubscribed status does not qualify for a recreated or manually applied discount.

To see your order status log in or check for the shopping notification that was sent when the package was processed. If you cannot find that email, send us you order number and we will look into it.

By completing a purchase on Shelf Love’s website or in-store checkout systems, the customer confirms that they have reviewed the final order total, including any discounts or promotional codes, prior to submitting payment.

Discount codes and promotional offers must be applied during checkout and cannot be added to an order once it has been completed. Requests for retroactive discounts, price adjustments, or partial refunds due to a missed or expired code will not be granted.

Promotional offers, subscriber discounts, and customer-specific codes are limited-time marketing promotions and are not guaranteed pricing adjustments.

By placing an order, the customer acknowledges and accepts the final price displayed at checkout, including applicable taxes, shipping, and any discounts applied at that time.

At Shelf Love, we proudly specialize in independently published romance novels. The majority of our titles are sourced directly from indie authors, and most are personally signed or have a personally signed bookplate, offering readers a unique and collectible experience. We’re committed to supporting independent voices and providing our customers with books they won’t find on every shelf.

All signed books are indicated on the product page. If it does not indicate signed by the author... chances are it is not an Indie Author or is not on consignment with the shop and will not be signed.

Books are not personalized.

Purchases and books not picked up on the day of the event, or those marked for in-store pickup, will be held for 10 business days from the purchase or event date.

After 10 days, any unclaimed items will be returned to stock and made available for sale.

If a customer is unable to attend the event or make to the store in 10 days, they may:

  • Send someone in their place, OR

For the most part, yes! If you are looking for a book that is not listed on our website, please reach out to our customer service team at shop@shlefloveatlanta.com.

Shelf Indulgence is a bi-monthly subscription, with boxes shipping or becoming available for pickup on the 15th of August, October, December, February, April, and June. Subscribers receive 15% off the regular one-time box price, and subscriptions automatically renew every two months.

Subscribers are automatically charged before the next scheduled shipment, with a renewal reminder sent by email beforehand. Customers are responsible for keeping their email, payment method, and shipping address current in their account. Shelf Love recommends whitelisting shop@shelfloveatlanta.com, as the store is not responsible for renewal emails missed because of spam filters or incorrect email addresses.

Skipping, pausing, and canceling: Subscribers may skip a box, pause their subscription, or cancel before the next renewal date through their customer account. Once a renewal payment has been processed, however, that box cannot be canceled or refunded.

Changing genres: A subscription cannot be switched to another genre after a renewal has processed. Customers who want to change genres should cancel or pause their existing subscription and subscribe to the new genre before the next billing date.

Returns & refunds: All subscription box sales are final because boxes are curated and prepared in advance. Shelf Love does not accept returns or exchanges or issue refunds for subscription boxes.

Lost or damaged boxes: Damage should be reported to Shelf Love within 2 days of delivery, along with photos. If loss or damage occurred while the package was in the carrier's possession, the customer may be required to file a claim with the shipping carrier.

One-time boxes: Customers do not have to subscribe. Individual boxes may be purchased while supplies last, but the subscription provides the 15% discount and guaranteed future boxes.

The big takeaway: Skip, pause, change, or cancel BEFORE renewal. Once the renewal hits, that box is yours and all subscription sales are final. 📦💕
