Return & Refund Policy

Last Updated: August 23, 2026

At The Reading Room– Blind Edition, all purchases are carefully packaged and inspected before being shipped. Due to the nature of our products, all sales are final and products are not eligible for returns or exchanges.

Damaged Items

We understand that packages can occasionally be damaged during transit. While we take care to package your order securely, The Reading Room– Blind Edition is not responsible for damage caused by the shipping carrier after the package has left our possession.

However, if an item arrives broken or significantly damaged, please contact us so we can review the situation and determine whether a refund or replacement may be available.

To request consideration for a refund:

• Email thereadingroombe@gmail.com within 48 hours of receiving your order.

• Include your order number and a clear description of the damage.

• Include clear photos of the damaged item and packaging as proof.

• For severe shipping damage, photos of the exterior of the package may also be requested.

Do not discard the damaged item or packaging until your request has been reviewed, as we may need additional information or photographs.

Refunds or replacements are not guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If approved, you will be notified by email regarding the resolution.

Incorrect or Missing Items

If you receive an incorrect or missing item in your order, please contact us at thereadingroombe@gmail.com as soon as possible with your order number and photos of your package and its contents so we can investigate and determine the appropriate resolution.

Non-Returnable Items

Because our Blind Date with a Book products are curated and prepared specifically for the customer, we do not accept returns simply because you do not like the book, received a book you already own, changed your mind, has a mark, or do not like the items included in your box.

We also cannot accept returns or refunds for books that are damaged after delivery due to handling, use, or storage by the customer.

Book Condition & Non-Returnable Items

The Reading Room – Blind Edition purchases books from verified publishers, distributors, and reputable book companies. Because books may be handled, stored, and shipped before reaching us, some books may arrive with minor cosmetic imperfections or publisher/distributor markings.

These imperfections may include small marks, scuffs, dents, bends, scratches, Sharpie or ink markings such as dots or lines, remainder marks, or other minor signs of handling. If a book remains fully readable and suitable for use, we may still include it in our Blind Date with a Book selections.

These minor cosmetic imperfections or markings do not constitute a defect and do not qualify an order for a return, exchange, or refund. By purchasing a Blind Date with a Book, customers acknowledge that books may occasionally contain these types of markings or imperfections.

Because our Blind Date with a Book products are curated and prepared specifically for the customer, we do not accept returns simply because you do not like the book, received a book you already own, changed your mind, or do not like the items included in your box.

We also cannot accept returns or refunds for books or other products that are damaged after delivery due to handling, use, or improper storage by the customer.
