Canceling Orders

It is important that you make sure your order is exactly what you want before you submit it. In an effort to cut down on shipping times, your order is automatically imported to our warehouse when you place it. This means that if you select the wrong quantity, volume, binding, or title, it is very likely we will be unable to correct it before it ships out. Accordingly, please, please, please double-check your order before you submit it at the store. If you have any questions about our materials, please ask us before you place the order.
