Preorder Information

Flirting With Fiction loves hosting preorder campaigns for our community. To ensure a smooth experience, please review our fulfillment timelines before placing your order:

  • Standard Preorders: Regular preorders are prepared for dispatch during the week of their official publication release date.

  • Signed & Personalized Editions: Preorders for signed or personalized copies require dedicated processing. These shipments may experience a slight delay while we coordinate directly with the author to ensure your books are signed and personalized - you will not receive your books on the release date. Setting expectations is important :) 

  • Multiple Preorders in a Single Order: If you purchase multiple preorder items with different release dates in a single checkout transaction, your entire order will be held and shipped together in one single package once the final book on the order is officially released. If you prefer to receive each book during its specific release week, please place separate orders for each individual preorder item.

International Shipping & Customs

Flirting With Fiction ships all international orders via USPS to provide the most reliable and cost-effective service for the community. Please note that shipping rates calculated at checkout cover transportation only.

  • Duties & Taxes: Your order may be subject to import duties, local taxes (VAT/GST), and administrative fees as determined by the destination country's customs authority. These charges are the recipient's responsibility and must be paid upon delivery. Flirting With Fiction cannot predict or prepay these fees.

  • Final Sale: All international sales are final. Flirting With Fiction is not responsible for customs delays or unpaid fees.

  • Returns: If a package is returned to our store due to unpaid duties, a refusal to accept the delivery, or an incorrect address, original shipping costs are non-refundable.

Transfer of Liability

Flirting With Fiction takes great care in securely preparing and packing your orders. Please note that our legal liability transfers immediately upon carrier acceptance. 

For all direct international shipments, Flirting With Fiction is not responsible for loss, damage, or delay once the package has been handed over to the shipping provider. If your shipment is lost or damaged in transit, please file a claim directly with the shipping carrier using your tracking details.

Shipping to the European Union is Paused

As of October 2026, we've paused shipping to all European Union countries. A new EU packaging law, effective August 12, 2026, requires shops outside the EU to appoint a paid legal representative in each EU country they ship to. For a small indie shop, that isn't sustainable right now with costs of representatives reaching over $3,000.

We currently ship to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

EU readers, you can still order from us using a US-based package forwarding service (see our International Package Forwarding Policy below). If EU rules change, we'll reopen shipping and update this page.

Already placed an EU order? We've emailed you directly with your options. Can't find it? Email fwfbookshop@gmail.com.

International Package Forwarding Policy

If Flirting With Fiction does not currently ship directly to a specific country, customers are welcome to utilize a third-party forwarding service located in any region currently serviced by the store (such as the United States).

Please note the following terms before placing an order:

  • Separate Shipping Fees: The shipping fee paid at the FWF checkout covers delivery to the designated forwarding hub only. The forwarding service will charge a separate, additional fee to transport the package from their warehouse to the final international destination.

  • Weight & Surcharges: Customers are responsible for reviewing their chosen forwarder’s weight limits and available shipping methods (e.g., air vs. surface) prior to purchase to avoid unexpected surcharges.

  • Import Taxes & Duties: The forwarding service may bill the customer for Import VAT (Tax) or customs duties paid on their behalf upon the package's arrival at the hub. These fees are the sole responsibility of the customer and must be settled before the package is released.

  • Forwarder Liability: Once an order is marked as "Delivered" to the chosen forwarding hub, the fulfillment obligation of Flirting With Fiction is complete. FWF is not responsible for any subsequent damage, loss, or transit delays that occur during the final leg of the journey handled by the third-party provider.

We highly recommend customers confirm all potential fees and policies with their specific forwarding service before finalizing a purchase with FWF.
