Asked at the counter

Questions we hear every day

Orders

How much is delivery?

Delivery is ₹49 per order and free on orders of ₹799 or more after discounts. School sets ship free over ₹799 too.

How long does delivery take?

Orders placed before 3 pm leave the shop the same day. Bengaluru usually gets them next day; the rest of India in 3 to 6 working days.

How can I pay?

UPI, cards, net banking and wallets through Razorpay. We never see or store your card details.

School sets

What is in a school book set?

Every prescribed textbook for that board and class, plus the notebooks and stationery most schools ask for. Covers and name labels are optional extras. You can untick anything you already have before adding the set to your bag.

My school's list is different. What do I do?

Untick what you do not need, add anything extra from the shop, or send us your school's list through the contact page and we will build the set for you.

When do school sets ship?

Sets for the new school year ship from 1 March. Orders placed before that are reserved and sent in the first week.

Books

What is the difference between the formats?

Paperback is the standard edition. Hardcover has boards, a jacket and usually better paper. Box sets bundle a whole series and cost less than buying the books separately. The price on the page changes as you pick.

How do pre-orders work?

You pay today and we ship the morning the book is released. If the price goes down before release you pay the lower price; if it goes up, you keep today's.

Can I read a sample?

Yes. Most books have a Look inside button with the first pages, set the way they are in print.

Book club

How does the book club work?

Choose a shelf and a duration. We post one book, a bookmark and a handwritten note on the 5th of each month. Your subscription and next box date show in your account.

Can I pause the book club?

Write to us before the 1st of the month and we skip that month and extend your subscription by one box.

Bulk

What counts as a bulk order?

Twenty copies or more of one title, or any order for a school, library, office or book fair. Send a request and we reply with a written quote within one working day.

Gifts

Can you gift-wrap and add a message?

Yes. Add gift wrap from the Gift a book page, write your message and we copy it by hand onto a card inside the wrap.

Returns

Can I return a book?

Unread books in their original condition can be returned within 7 days of delivery. Damaged or wrong books are replaced free. School sets can be returned item by item.
