Are your gift and subscription boxes letterbox friendly?
Some of our larger gift boxes are little too big for your letterbox - but that’s because they’ve got such awesome things inside!
The contents of my box were damaged in the post - what should I do?
Oh no! We’re so sorry to hear that. Get in touch with us straightaway by emailing hello@paperbackdown.com so we can remedy the situation. We’ll need pictures of any damage - both to the box contents and to the external packaging. Please make sure you keep all packaging/damaged goods until advised otherwise.
