What Is a Preorder?

A preorder is an item that is not yet in stock but is available for purchase in advance. By placing a preorder, you acknowledge that the item will ship at a later date.

Estimated ship dates are listed:

  • On the product page

  • In the product description

  • In the preorder notice or widget at checkout

Shipping timelines are estimates and may change due to production, carrier delays, or unforeseen circumstances.


Shipping Timeframes

Each preorder product will clearly state its estimated shipping timeframe, such as:

  • “Ships approximately 3–4 weeks after ordering”

  • “Estimated to ship by the end of January”

Expedited shipping does not speed up preorder fulfillment.
Expedited shipping only applies after the order has shipped.


Payment

Preorders may require:

  • Full payment at checkout, or

  • A partial deposit with the remaining balance charged when the item ships

Payment terms are shown at checkout and agreed to at the time of purchase.


Cancellations & Refunds

All preorder sales are final.

Because inventory is reserved specifically for preorder customers:

  • Preorders cannot be canceled

  • Preorders are non-refundable

  • Preorders cannot be exchanged for a different product or design once production has begun

Please review all product details carefully before placing a preorder.


Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for entering a correct and complete shipping address at checkout.

If an order is returned due to an incorrect address:

  • The customer is responsible for additional shipping costs, or

  • The original shipping cost will be deducted from any approved refund (if applicable)


Delays

While we do our best to meet estimated ship dates, delays may occur.
Delays are not grounds for cancellation or refunds.

We will provide updates via email and/or our Preorder Status page when applicable.


Acknowledgment

By placing a preorder, you confirm that you:

  • Understand the item is a preorder

  • Agree to the estimated shipping timeframe

  • Accept that shipping dates are estimates

  • Agree to our Preorder Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return & Refund Policy

FAQ

Why does my tracking look “stuck”?
You’ll receive a tracking number once your order is packed and a shipping label is created. After the label is printed, it can take up to 24–48 hours for the carrier to show the first scan/update. Some packages won’t show movement until the carrier completes the first physical scan (pickup or drop-off).
Can I cancel my order?
Yes — you can cancel anytime before your order ships. Email us with your order number and we’ll take care of it.
What are GoodNotes and Penly?
They’re planner apps used to write on digital PDFs with a stylus.

GoodNotes is most common on Apple (iPad/iPhone), and it’s also available on some Android tablets.
Penly is one of the most compatible options for Android tablets/phones.

These apps are not free, and purchasing a Papers Planners digital file does not include the app subscription/purchase.
What do you mean by “hyperlinked” on the digital planner?
“Hyperlinked” means the pages have tap-able tabs/buttons (like a website). Tap to jump between months, sections, and pages instantly — no endless scrolling.
