We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions.

Any change in the address for future deliveries must be provided at least 1 month in advance, in order to ensure that items are not sent to an incorrect address.

Will my book fit through my letterbox?
The majority of our paperback books will fit through a standard letterbox.

Yes, you can email us at hello@thewilloughbybookclub.co.uk or use our live chat feature to update your reading tastes. We work a month in advance so changes to your subscription (including address changes) will need to be provided by the 1st of the month prior to dispatch.
I don’t know what my gift recipient likes to read, help!
Don’t worry! If you are unsure what the recipient likes to read, you can purchase either an email gift voucher or a gift tin. The lucky recipient can activate this themselves and tell us all about their reading tastes! Alternatively, you can contact a member of the WBC team who can talk through other options. I want something to give my gift recipient for a special occasion.
Can I get the first book early?
We can’t provide this service due to the volume of subscriptions we fulfil, however we do offer a printable gift certificate that is perfect to tuck inside a card! Alternatively, you can purchase one of our gift tins or email gift vouchers for the recipient to redeem themselves.
