Shipping policy
Processing & Dispatch
Most books on Ruined By Fiction are preorders and are made to order. Each product page shows its expected dispatch month; your order confirmation email shows the same month. For most books this is about 3 months after the preorder closes; unreleased titles take longer, and the dispatch month on the product page always applies.
This includes the time taken to import, customise, pack and ship your order. Many orders ship earlier, but please plan for the month mentioned in your order confirmation email.
If your order contains several books, they ship together once the last book is ready.
Ready-to-ship and damaged books are in stock and dispatched within 2-3 business days.
You’ll receive an email when your order is packed, followed by a tracking update once it ships.
