Shipping Information

Thank you for supporting Vie La Publishing! As a small independent publishing house, every order means the world to us. We carefully prepare each shipment to ensure your books arrive safely.

Shipping Rates

  • United States: Free standard shipping on all orders $55 and over. Shipping rates for orders under $55 are calculated at checkout.

Processing & Shipping Times

Ebooks: Delivered immediately to your inbox through BookFunnel after purchase.

Preorders: Preordered items are currently in production. Estimated ship dates are provided at the time of purchase and are subject to change — production timelines can shift due to factors outside our control. We'll keep you updated if your preorder date changes. This applies to all preordered products, including books, collector editions, and merchandise.

Paperback Editions:

  • Standard paperbacks: Typically ship within 1 week.
  • Signed paperbacks: Usually ship within 7 business days.

Hardcover Editions:

  • Standard hardcovers: Please allow 2–4 weeks for processing, plus approximately 2 weeks for international transit from our printing partner.
  • Signed hardcovers: Typically ship within 7 business days when in stock.

Special Collector Editions: Our collector editions are handcrafted in limited quantities and may require additional production time. Unless otherwise stated on the product page, please allow 4–6 weeks for shipment after purchase.

Multiple Shipments

To help get your books into your hands as quickly as possible, orders containing items with different release dates or production timelines may be shipped separately. You'll receive a tracking email for each shipment.

Address Changes

Please ensure your shipping address is up to date before your order ships. If you move before your order is fulfilled, please contact us as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee address changes once an order has entered processing or has been shipped.

Tracking Your Order

You'll receive a tracking email as soon as your order ships. If your tracking appears delayed or you have questions about delivery, please contact us.

Lost in Transit

If your tracking has not updated for an extended period or appears to be lost, please contact us. We'll work with the shipping carrier to investigate.

Missing or Damaged Shipments

Please inspect your order upon arrival and report any missing or damaged shipments within 30 days of the carrier's marked delivery date. Because many of our collector editions are produced in limited printings, replacement copies may not always be available once a printing has sold out.

Returned Shipments

If a package is returned to us due to an incorrect address, failed delivery attempts, or being unclaimed, we'll gladly reship it. Additional shipping charges may apply.

We're always happy to help. If you have any questions about your order, please don't hesitate to contact us.
