Shipping
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping on all domestic orders (Finland) over 70€. For Europe 100€ and for the rest of the world 150€.
Where are your products shipped from?
All our products are shipped from Tampere, Finland — our warehouse manager Jussi is making sure all orders get processed and shipped as fast as possible!
Why is shipping your products so expensive?
Unfortunately, shipping costs have been rising for several years with noticeable increases lately. We are regularly negotiating best available prices with our shipping partners and do our best to offer our customers several different shipping options.
Why is my shipment taking so long?
If it seems that your order is taking longer than expected, check if your order contains any preorder product. Orders are be handled as one, so if you order includes any preorder products, all products will be shipped when the preorder product is released.
In other cases contact shop@lainemagazine.com.
I chose DHL Globalmail as the shipping carrier, where is my tracking number?
You can find the tracking number in an email sent from the address noreply-packet@deutschepost.com. Please note that you can use the same tracking number to track your parcel on your country’s postal service’s website too.
Publications
Do you offer digital download codes for your publications?
Unfortunately we do not offer digital download codes for the hardcover books. All Laine books and magazines are printed with a printing method that gives the best quality with large print runs — but it doesn't give us the chance to print any individual codes. We are always on the lookout for new methods and the option to offer digital downloads with our print books.
You can find separate digital products on our website.
Where are your publications printed?
We are happy to work with responsible long-time partners. Laine Magazine is printed in Estonia at Printall. Our books are printed in Latvia at Livonia and our beloved notebooks are made in Estonia at Printon.
