Shipping Policy

Thank you for choosing to shop with the Elle James Store! We appreciate your business and want to ensure that you have a great experience with our products. Please take a moment to review our Shipping & Returns Policies below before making your purchase here.

When you purchase books from Elle James Store, your purchases will be delivered through one of the following methods:

PRE-ORDERS

Any books unavailable for immediate release will be clearly noted as "PREORDER" in the product title and description. The description will also include the expected release date. Pre-ordered products will be charged in full upon purchase, but they will not deliver or ship until the release date. PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend that you purchase any Pre-order books as separate transactions. Print books on preorder will not be printed or shipped until their release date. If there are other print books in the same order, the entire order will be held until the preorder book is ready to be processed. 

If there are any updates to a preorder book's expected release date, the Elle James Store Team will email any customers who have ordered the book to alert them of the change. Any books that do not specify "pre-order" in their description are available for immediate purchase.

E-BOOKS & AUDIOBOOKS

Upon purchase, our E-Book and Audiobook distribution partner, BookFunnel, will email you a web link providing immediate online access to your book. The online page at BookFunnel also offers instructions on how to download your book or deliver the file to your Kindle, iPhone, Android device, Nook or Kobo. If you do not see your download email, please check your Spam box, or if using Gmail, check your Promotions tab. If you have any issues accessing your purchased Ebook or Audiobook, or do not receive a download email, visit https://bookfunnel.com/help/.
