Please allow up to 24 to 48 hours for the tracking link to update once handed over to the postal carrier.

Please ensure your shipping address is complete and accurate before placing your order.

  • If you need to update your address, contact us immediately at support@hiddenrealitiespress.com within 12 hours of placing your order. Once an order enters the production pipeline, address modifications cannot be guaranteed.
  • Hidden Realities Press is not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer. Returned packages due to invalid addresses may incur reshipping fees.

6. Damaged, Lost, or Delayed Shipments

  • Damaged in Transit: If your book arrives with physical damage from transit, please refer to our Refund Policy and contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the outer box and damaged book.
  • Lost Packages: If your tracking number shows "Delivered" but you have not received your package, please check with household members or building administration first.
