Refund Policy
A.Skaltsounis (Alexandria Skaltsounis) is an independent children's book author and illustrator, and this shop is supported by a print-on-demand service that has been assessed for quality of print.
Print Color Acknowledgment: Please note that some of the colors may not be as vivid when printed. (CMYK vs. RGB) Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to reproduce the bright and saturated colors you see on your retina screen in tangible products. This is because printers can't reproduce the full RGB range. This is true of all printers, and not just an us thing! In most cases, the differences between both color modes might not be very significant. Here is some more information if you want to learn more.
All sales are final.
A.Skaltsounis (Alexandria Skaltsounis)utilizes a print-on-demand service due to the high cost of storing and managing inventory in order to focus efforts on creating more original books, which means that all products are unique and produced only once ordered.
This also means that returns and exchanges are not supported if you order the wrong size, paper type, or simply change your mind.
