A Little About Us
The Melting Plot Bookseller was founded late in 2022 and a total product of one girl's love of reading.
Living is Australia means that sometimes books, particularly indie books, can be hard to get and super costly. I had been shopping small, supporting local online bookstores when I noticed that I was still having to go to a second store to get my traditionally published books.
That's why Plot started.
I am incredibly proud to say that we are a one-stop bookstore for ALL your romance novel needs.
As we have continued to grow, we have been able to support brand new authors, particularly those who are based here in Australia, and it has become such an integral part of our business. We love to help new authors promote their debut novels as much as we love helping readers find their new favourite books!
Our commitment to our wonderful customers is that our prices remain low & our DMs always open and our hope is to continue building a community where everyone feels welcome to share their love of reading.
Refunds and Returns
Please note that all sales are final.
We unfortunately are unable to accept returns or issue refunds due to a change of mind.
All orders are packaged with the utmost love and care. We know how exciting it is to receive book mail and so we do everything in our power to ship your books to you in the safest, most secure way.
In the unlikely event of damage whilst in transit, please send an email to themeltingplotbookseller@gmail.com with a clear photo of the items and include your order number for reference.
Processing Times
Here at The Melting Plot we endeavour to ship your orders as soon as we receive them. Usually, this means the same day.
Wherever that isn't feasible (usually due to high volume of orders etc) you can expect your order to be shipped within 1-2 business days.
Shipping Rates
Our shipping rates are automatically calculated during checkout based on size and weight of order.
If you live outside of Australia but would like to purchase some of our books please reach out and we can give you a quote for shipping internationally. If you are interested in purchasing our bookish merchandise, visit us in our Etsy store The Melting Plot Books for accurate and immediate international shipping rates.
Etsy
The Etsy store The Melting Plot Books is a subsidiary of The Melting Plot Bookseller. Our bookish merchandise is available from both stores however only our website has available our full catalogue of books. Stock levels between stores are the same, meaning, if the item is sold out on Etsy, it is also sold out on our website.
