Returns & FAQ

Are returns accepted?

Because most Little Obsessions items are secondhand, vintage, one-of-a-kind, or deeply discounted, all sales are generally final.

I do my best to photograph and describe condition accurately, including noticeable wear, markings, damage, or flaws. Please review all photos, descriptions, measurements, and condition notes before purchasing.

If I made a significant mistake in the listing or your order arrives with a problem that was not disclosed, please contact me so I can make it right.

What if my order arrives damaged?

If your package arrives damaged, please contact me as soon as possible and include:

• Your order number
• Photos of the item
• Photos of the packaging
• Photos showing the damage clearly

Please keep the packaging until the issue has been resolved, since photos may be needed for a shipping claim.

Can I cancel my order?

If your order has not shipped yet, contact me as soon as possible. I’ll do my best to cancel it, but cancellation cannot be guaranteed once packing or shipping has begun.

Once an order has shipped, it cannot be canceled.

How are book conditions determined?

Books are pre-owned unless otherwise stated. I describe condition as accurately as possible and photograph notable flaws.

Vintage and antique books may naturally show signs of age such as:

• Toning or yellowing
• Foxing or spotting
• Shelf wear
• Previous-owner names or inscriptions
• Edge or corner wear
• Minor binding wear

These characteristics are part of buying older books and will be disclosed whenever significant.

Are the books cleaned?

Books are gently inspected and surface-cleaned when appropriate, but I avoid aggressive cleaning methods that could damage older materials.

How does shipping work?

Shipping charges are shown at checkout unless the listing specifically says shipping included or free shipping.

Eligible books are generally shipped using USPS Media Mail to help keep costs affordable. Items that do not qualify for Media Mail are shipped using an appropriate alternative service.

Orders containing multiple items may be combined whenever possible.

Why do some items include shipping in the price?

Some heavier book sets, vintage items, or bundles are listed with shipping already included to make checkout simpler. If a listing says “shipped”, the listed price already includes standard U.S. shipping.

What does “FREE PR, just pay shipping” mean?

From time to time, I list unused or lightly tried PR products that I received through my work.

The product itself is free. You only pay the shipping cost associated with sending it to you.

These items are first come, first served and are not eligible for returns or exchanges.

Are measurements exact?

Clothing measurements are taken by hand with the garment laid flat and are approximate. Please compare the measurements provided with an item you already own for the best fit.

Are vintage items perfect?

Usually not, and that’s part of their charm.

Vintage and antique items can show age-related wear even when they have been well cared for. I photograph and describe significant flaws so you know what you’re getting.

Do you ship internationally?

Availability and shipping rates for international orders will be shown at checkout. Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees charged by their country.

When will my order ship?

I personally pack orders, so processing may vary depending on order volume. Tracking will be sent once your package has been prepared for shipment.

If there is ever an unusual delay, I’ll communicate that as clearly as possible.

Donations & Tips

Little Obsessions is intentionally priced to stay affordable, and some items, including select PR products, are offered for free with the buyer only covering shipping. If you’d ever like to leave a little extra to support the shop, donations and tips are always appreciated but never required.

Any support helps cover things like packing materials, shipping supplies, sourcing, and the time it takes to photograph, list, pack, and send each order.
