📚 Returns & Replacements Policy

(A Gentle but Firm Note From Our Little Bookish Corner)

At UNPUBLISHED, every journal, page, and package is created in small batches with a lot of intention (and probably coffee involved). Because we’re a small business and not a giant warehouse empire, we’re unable to offer refunds or accept returns.

✨ All Sales Are Final

Once your order is placed, it’s officially part of your story.
We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for:

-Change of mind

-Ordering the wrong item

-Personal preference

-“It wasn’t what I imagined”

-Buyer’s remorse

We completely understand that online shopping can be tricky, which is why we do our best to include detailed photos, measurements, and descriptions to help you shop with confidence.

As a small business, we feel the impact of returned inventory, used products, and refund losses in ways that large corporations simply don’t. This policy allows us to keep creating beautiful, intentional products at fair prices.

We promise — it’s not because we’re heartless villains in a third-act plot twist. 😉


🖤 When We Will Help (Defective Items)

We stand behind the quality of our products. If your item arrives with a verified manufacturing defect or was damaged in transit, we’ll make it right with a replacement.

You may qualify for a one-time replacement if:

-Your item arrived damaged

-There is a clear production defect

-You received the wrong item from our warehouse

To request a replacement:

-Contact us within 5 days of delivery

Include clear photos of:

-The item

-The packaging

-The shipping label

-The issue/defect

*The item must be unused (unless it arrived damaged)

If approved, we will send a replacement of the same item.
If the item is sold out, we may offer store credit at our discretion.


📖 What Is Not Considered a Defect

Because paper goods are tactile and handmade, small variations can occur. The following do not qualify for replacement:

Damage caused after delivery

Wear from use

Minor print or color variations

Natural differences in paper tone or texture

Personal aesthetic preference

Ordering the wrong item or size

We encourage you to read product details carefully before purchasing — we include them to help you choose the right fit for your reading journey.


🛡 Protecting Our Small Business

We reserve the right to:

-Deny claims that do not meet the above criteria

-Request the return of defective merchandise before replacement

Refuse service in cases of repeated policy abuse

-Submit documentation to payment providers if a chargeback is filed without contact

We lovingly document our shipments and delivery confirmations.


📦 Shipping Notes

Once an order is marked “Delivered” by the carrier, we are not responsible for:

-Lost or stolen packages

-Incorrect addresses entered at checkout

Please double-check your shipping details before placing your order.


🤍 Final Thoughts

We’re here to create products for late-night readers, margin-note scribblers, and “just one more chapter” dreamers. This policy helps protect our ability to keep doing that.

Thank you for supporting our business.
