At MyTaleo, we want your personalized book to arrive safely and on time. This policy explains everything you need to know about shipping and returns.


1. Processing Time

Every MyTaleo book is custom-made just for you. After you place your order:

  • You will receive a high-quality digital preview of your personalized book
  • Once approved, your book enters production
  • Production typically takes 2-3 business days

2. Shipping Times

Your book will be delivered within 5-6 business days after production is complete.

Region Estimated Delivery
United States 5-6 business days
Canada 6-8 business days
Europe 5-6 business days
Australia / New Zealand 8-12 business days

Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to customs, holidays, or carrier delays.


3. Shipping Locations

We ship to over 30 countries worldwide. Shipping destinations and costs are displayed at checkout based on your location.


4. Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on:

  • Your delivery address
  • Shipping method selected
  • Number of items ordered

Free shipping promotions may be available from time to time.


5. Order Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive:

  • A confirmation email with tracking information

If you haven't received tracking information within 5 business days of placing your order, please contact us at support@mytaleo.com.


6. Customs and Import Duties

For international orders:

  • Your package may be subject to customs fees, import duties, or taxes
  • These charges are the responsibility of the customer
  • MyTaleo has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount
  • Please check with your local customs office for more information

7. Delivery Issues

7.1 Lost Packages

If your package appears lost:

  • Contact us within 30 days of the estimated delivery date
  • We will investigate with the carrier

7.2 Stolen Packages

If tracking shows your package was delivered but you did not receive it:

  • Contact us within 7 days of the delivery date

We handle these situations on a case-by-case basis and will work with you to find a solution.

7.3 Incorrect Address

Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout. We are not responsible for packages delivered to incorrect addresses provided by the customer.

If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us immediately at support@mytaleo.com. We can only update addresses before your order ships.


8. Returns

8.1 Personalized Products

Because each MyTaleo book is custom-made with your child's name and photo, we cannot accept returns for:

  • Change of mind

Please review your preview carefully before confirming your order.
