Refund policy
Standard Returns
We want you to be happy with your order. If something isn't right, we accept returns under the following conditions:
- Return window: You may return eligible items within 7 days of delivery.
- Condition: Items must be returned in original, unmarked, and resalable condition — free from creases, writing, water damage, or other signs of use.
- Proof of purchase: Please include your order number or a copy of your receipt/packing slip with your return.
- Refund method: Approved returns are issued as store credit to be used on a future purchase at Tavola Books. We do not offer refunds to the original payment method for standard returns.
- Return shipping: Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping on standard (non-damaged) returns.
Damaged or Defective Items
If your order arrives damaged or defective, we'll make it right:
- You may return the item for a full refund to your original payment method.
- We do not charge you for return shipping on damaged or defective items — contact us and we'll provide instructions for a prepaid return, or in some cases may not require the item to be shipped back at all.
- Please contact us within 7 days of delivery and include a photo of the damage where possible, so we can process your return quickly.
