Tariffs & Duties

The Obsidian Flower Bookshop is not liable or responsible for any exported Tariff or Duty charges. If there are additional charges due to Tariffs or Duties, those charges are the customer’s responsibility to cover.

We cannot guarantee Tariffs and Duty charges will not apply, although we have our shipping setup to include these, if the shipment has additional fees outside of the calculated fees determined by location through Shopify, the responsibility falls to the customer to cover them.

Pre-Order Campaign titles begin to be shipped ON THE RELEASE DATE, not before, and sometimes after, depending on when the publishers ship to us or delays in shipping. You will likely Not receive your shipped pre-order on the release date.

If your order contains a preorder item, your entire order will be held until all items are ready to ship.
