Your first book will be shipped based on when you placed your order:

• If you ordered before the 15th of the month, your book will be shipped on the 16th.

• If you ordered on or after the 16th, your first book will be shipped on the 1st of the following month.

Please note: since we personally select each book and don’t always keep stock on hand, your first order may be delayed by up to 5 business days.

All future books will be shipped on the 1st of each month. Delivery typically takes 2–4 business days after dispatch.

We will always do our best to introduce you to books and authors that you may not have tried or heard of, but we understand that you may receive a book that you already own or have previously read. Should this happen please get in touch via hello@timetoread.online and we’ll happily send you a refund or a replacement.

For all detailed information visit our refund & replacement page.

Firstly, we’re really sorry! All our books are sent out on the 1st of the month or the next working day. Our customers should receive their books within 2-5 working days. If you haven’t received your book by the 6th day please get in touch and we’ll arrange for a replacement to be sent.

If you have just placed an order, your first book will be sent based on the date of your purchase:

• Orders placed before the 15th of the month will be shipped on the 16th.

• Orders placed on or after the 16th will be shipped on the 1st of the following month.

Because each book is hand-selected and we don’t always keep stock on hand, your first book may be delayed by up to 5 business days after the shipping date.

All follow-up books will be sent on the 1st of each month, with delivery typically taking 2–4 business days after dispatch.
