Where is the Broken Binding based?

We are based in the UK!

Do you have a physical store?

Not at the moment, but hopefully one day!

Can anyone purchase your special editions?

Of course! We often post polls, posts and such asking for favourite series, titles, underrated books, upcoming series… We are always listening! 

Working With Us

I’m an author/publisher/artist and would love to work with you. How can I get in touch?

Please drop us an email to info@thebrokenbinding.co.uk

Do you have a rep scheme?

We currently have a rep scheme on Instagram. New rep searches are hosted every 3 months, in-between subscription series. 

Shipping

Do all orders ship from the UK?

Yes. We currently don’t have any overseas distributors just as of yet.

What courier service do you use for shipping?

We ship all orders via Royal Mail and any international orders are handed over to local postal services.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! If you find that your country isn’t available to ship when checking out, please drop us an email at info@thebrokenbinding.co.uk as we can add it for you.

How is shipping calculated?

Shipping for our regular stock is calculated based off of weight, whilst shipping is charged per title/set for our special editions. This is due to the fact that they are packed and prepped for us by a third party fulfillment centre.

Will I get a shipping confirmation once my order has shipped?

Yes! You will receive an email letting you know your order has been dispatched.

My tracking number hasn’t updated in a while, should I be worried?

Sometimes tracking can take a few days to show further updates, longer in some cases, such as if the parcel is making a long journey across many seas and oceans.
