Shipping & Fulfillment Policy
Last Updated: July 19, 2026
Thank you for supporting Cafes Magazine. Because we care deeply about sustainable production and unique curations, all of our merchandise and print publications are created, bound, and printed on-demand specifically for you when you place an order. This zero-waste model prevents mass-overproduction, but it means our fulfillment timelines take a little longer than standard mass-market shipping.
1. Production & Fulfillment Timelines
Every order goes through two distinct phases before arriving at your door:
-
Production Phase (Printing & Binding): Please allow 3 to 7 business days for our print and apparel partners to custom-craft your pieces.
-
Shipping Phase (Transit): Once your items pass inspection, standard shipping takes approximately 5 to 10 business days for domestic orders within the United States.
Total Expected Delivery Window: Please anticipate 2 to 2.5 weeks from the day you place your order to delivery.
2. Tracking Your Order
As soon as your package leaves our production facilities, an automated email containing your tracking information will be sent from orders@cafesmagazine.com. Please allow up to 48 hours for the tracking link to update with live carrier data.
3. Split Shipments
If you order a publication (like a book) alongside an item of apparel (like a t-shirt or tote), your items may ship separately from different specialized production facilities. Do not panic if one item arrives before the other; you will receive distinct tracking numbers for each package.
4. Address Responsibilities
Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. We are unable to alter or redirect shipments once the on-demand printing process has begun. Cafes Magazine is not responsible for packages delivered to incorrectly provided addresses.
For questions regarding your shipment, reach out directly to orders@cafesmagazine.com.
