Popular questions
How is my child's book personalised?
Upload one clear photo and add their first name - the hero of the story becomes your child, illustrated as themselves. You look through a full preview before ordering, so every page is right before anything is printed.
Vad händer med fotot jag laddar upp?
Fotot används bara för att skapa ditt barns bok. Det skickas krypterat, delas aldrig med någon, används aldrig för att träna AI och raderas automatiskt inom 30 dagar. Beställer du boken sparas fotot bara så länge det behövs för att trycka den. Läs mer i vår integritetspolicy.
Do you ship to my location?
We deliver across Sweden. Ordering from somewhere else? The destinations we ship to - and the exact cost - are shown at checkout before you pay.
Can I get a refund?
Before your book goes to print: full refund, no questions. After printing, the free preview means surprises are rare - but if a delivered book is faulty or the personalisation is wrong, we reprint it or refund you. Start via our support page or email info@bookarino.se.
How long does delivery take?
Printing takes 3-5 business days and delivery another 2-5 - most books arrive within 5-10 business days of ordering. Estimates count business days, so weekends and public holidays can add a little time. Delivery is free during our launch.
What if I'm not satisfied with my book?
You review and approve your book before it's finalised - if anything looks off, ask and we'll adjust it. And if a delivered book is ever faulty or the personalisation is wrong, we reprint it or refund you. A keepsake shouldn't come with an argument.
How do I contact customer support?
You can reach our team anytime through our support page or by emailing info@bookarino.se.
How do I place an order?
Choose the book you'd like to personalise, upload one clear photo of your child (our photo guidelines help), then enter their name and age. You'll see a preview of the finished book - once you're happy with it, complete your payment.
Can I make changes after personalising?
Yes - nothing goes to print until you approve it. If something needs tweaking at the preview stage, request the change and we'll make sure it's right.
What size and quality are the books?
Every Bookarino book is a premium matte-laminated hardcover, 28 × 21 cm, with 30-32 illustrated pages on thick 170 gsm silk-finish paper (FSC-certified). Built to be read a thousand times, not looked at once.
When will I get my order?
Printing takes 3-5 business days and delivery another 2-5 - most books arrive within 5-10 business days. You'll get a tracking email the moment your book ships.
