cancellation & returns policy

Returns

Manufacturing Defects or Damaged Items:

We expect all Personalised Newspaper Books to arrive free of manufacturing defects, and/or damage occured in transit. 

Original Newspapers should be free of major damage or tears, without damage having occurred in transit. Please note that as our newspapers are original and authentic copies, minor defects or repairs and signs of age may be present. 

Should your order arrive and be found not to be free of these errors, or if you were sent an incorrect item, please contact Customer Support at info@historic-newspapers.com within 14 days of delivery and we'll be happy to provide a suitable resolution. 

Returns on Personalised Products - Newspaper Books


Returns are not accepted on any books, with or without name and dedication customisation, as each book is custom-made to your specifications, and printed on demand. For this reason, and because choice of cover colour, style, or any other custom details are considered personalised, and therefore the item cannot be resold, Newspaper Books are not eligible for returns.

Returns on Non-Personalised Products - Original Newspapers


Returns may be accepted on any Original Newspaper, if the request to return is made within 14 days of delivery. A full refund of the item will be provided upon receipt of the returned item to our warehouse located in the United Kingdom. Please see below for the return requirements:
