We ask that you expect a print plus ship time of 4-6 weeks with your book order. Please note that the design time is not included in these 4-6 weeks.

Can I place a rush order?

Unfortunately we are unable to take any orders outside of our standard turnaround times at the moment.

What if my books arrive damaged?

First off, we’re sorry to hear that. That’s definitely not how you should receive your Heirloom books! Please reach out to our team at hello@heirloomproject and our team will assist as best as they can.

Do you offer international shipping?

How will I know my order has shipped?

When your order ships, we will email you your tracking number so you can follow your order.

What is your return and exchange policy?

GIFTING

Can I place a large order for gift cards?

COOKBOOKS

What do printed cookbooks look like?

Each Heirloom book is meant to feel personal, nostalgic, and worth celebrating. Heirloom cookbooks are hardbound and printed on imported paper with matt lamination. The interiors are also printed on matt paper and will maintain their quality and colors for years.

We offer both paperbound and linen bound books. Our linen bound books are available in a few different colors while our paper bound books are available in 8 different layouts.

How many copies of a book can I print?

You can print anywhere from three books to an unlimited number! Printing cookbooks can be expensive in smaller quantities. Bulk discount printing may apply based on quantity – please reach out to us at hello@heirloomproject.co for any custom orders.

Can I edit a book once it is sent to the printers?

Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to make edits once your cookbook has been sent off to the printers.

Which cookbook layout should I choose?

We have 10 different covers for you to choose from. Our intention is to offer a diverse range of covers (but not too many) that feel personal and have a special meaning for you. Maybe you like illustrations? Treasures and Viand are a great choice for that. Perhaps you like images on your cover? Then Traditions and Keepsake are perfect options. Or If you like something more traditional and classic, Memoir is a beautiful linen bound design.

Our interiors have been designed keeping in mind that some of you may have full page photos and some of you just small ones. There’s something for each of you to choose from! We can also customize your cover with different colors and designs (additional design fees will apply). If you’re feeling too indecisive, let us help you make a choice!

Can I see samples of your books and paper?

We are happy to send you samples of both. Please note, that this adds time to your total project time. If that’s not an issue, you’re welcome to let us know what samples you’d like to see.

What is the process of working with your design team?

Once you purchase your layout, our team will reach out via email within 3 business days and get the process started. After you submit your recipes and photos, we will start the design process.
