Availability

With the exception of Original Newspapers, most Historic Newspapers product is personalized and are therefore made to order and are not held in stock or at least not in a finished state.

Our Newspaper archives hold papers for the vast majority of dates going back well over a hundred years. We will not, however, have stock for every city or state for every day which is why we insist on being given a wider geographical area for search, or preferably send a title from any city. In rare instances, we may not be able to locate a paper when we come to pick it, even though our stock sheets show availability. Where this is the case, we will inform you of this by email and will give you the option of selecting another date or canceling your order.

Where you choose to cancel your order, any sum debited by Historic Newspapers from your credit card or account will be re-credited and Historic Newspapers will notify you of this by email at the email address which you provide in your order form. The refund will be made as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the date of your cancelation of your order.

Cancelation and Returns

No Quibbles Guarantee

Our ‘no quibbles’ guarantee means that if, for any reason, you are unhappy with your purchase, i.e. the item you have ordered is defective, or you have simply changed your mind then, provided that it is in its original condition and unpersonalized, you can return it to us for prompt replacement or refund within 30 days of delivery.

Unless there has been an error on our part or the item you purchased is defective, we cannot accept Returns on ‘Personalized‘ or ‘bespoke’ items, whether by name or date, as these cannot be sold to anyone else. Our website is designed to give customers every opportunity to check all input/personalization and dates.

Amending and Cancelling an Order for any Product Before Personalisation
  • Definition of Amendment: request to change personalisation, delivery contact name and address, or upgrade delivery method.
  • Definition of Cancellation: request to cancel whole or part or your order.

If your product whether personalised or not personalised has gone into production or has been dispatched between when you place the order and when we pick up your request to amend or cancel your order, then we will be unable to amend or cancel the order. We do not work weekends or bank holidays, therefore if you have made a request to amend or cancel your order during this period we will pick up your request when we start the next working day, and will always try to notify you that day if your request was successful. However, we do experience high volumes of customer contact which can delay our response and action to your support request.

PLEASE NOTE: we cannot guarantee that we will be able to amend order details or cancel your order, but will make every effort to make your request successful.

We also ask you to give us a daytime contact telephone number. If the item is returnable under our Returns Policy terms and conditions, we will issue you with a returns address and a Returns Authorization Code. You must obtain a Returns Authorization Code before sending anything back to us or we will not be able to process your Return.
