Shipping, Returns & Exchanges

Shipping Information

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
Due to increased shipping costs and frequent delays and lost packages, we are temporarily pausing all international product shipping, excluding subscriptions. If you are looking to place a special order email subscribe@taprootmag.com. Thank you for your understanding!

GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS: The ship to address you entered during the ordering process is the ONLY address we mail the subscription to. The addresses listed below on the receipt are for administrative purposes only.  

ALL ORDERS: Please check your SHIPPING address. If you used Paypal for this order, your address may be inaccurate. Paypal often has old addresses. 

SUBSCRIPTION TIMING: Subscriptions start with our next issue. Taproot Magazine is bi-monthly. The first issue of a subscription may take 1-3 months (US) and 2-4 months (International) to kick on. Once you receive your first issue, the subsequent issues will arrive bi-monthly. Taproot Magazine is worth the wait! We have back issues available on our website that typically ship in 3-5 business days.  

TAPROOT GOODS AND BACK ISSUES: All non subscription items ship from the Taproot Warehouse in Portland, Maine. Standard shipping rates and delivery times apply. USPS is our first choice for shipping.    

GENERAL INFO ABOUT MAGAZINE MAILING: Taproot is an ad-free publication.  Our subscriptions mail as periodicals, and may take longer than modern internet shoppers are accustomed. Your first issue of Taproot Magazine may take slightly longer to hit your mailbox.  We are just as excited as you are for your first issue to arrive. Once your subscription kicks on you will enjoy bi-monthly nurturing articles for makers, doers & dreamers.  

RETURNS: Regular priced items are eligible for return. Sale items are non returnable. 

Please contact us via phone or email to receive a return authorization prior to shipping your return item.

Proof of purchase required for all returns. 
Returns accepted within 30 days of shipment.
