Frequently Asked Questions
ORDERS AND RETURNS
Is it safe to receive a package during Covid-19 Pandemic?
For guidance on Coronavirus, please refer to the World Health Organization website here >> https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses. The WHO states on this page, in response to the question whether it is safe to receive packages from (even) an area where Covid-19 has been reported, that “Yes. The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low.”
Booknook Store will continue to update this information but customers must check the main WHO page for updated information and make informed choices.
How can contact with the riders be minimised when my order is delivered?
First of all, we have stopped ‘Cash on delivery’ for all destinations. So only online payments such as Momo are allowed during this covid crisis, to reduce exposure to cash, for both customer and rider. Also we encourage ‘Contactless’ exchange of packages as much as possible. Riders have been educated to place packages at the doorsteps of customers, stepping back and indicating for customers to pick up. Again, let’s reiterate that we encourage customers to pay online. Bear with us as we navigate this new world together.

Do I need an account to place an order?
No you do not need an account to place an order. An account is created as part of your first checkout process. It is a one-time setup that you don’t need to do the next time you place an order.
How Do I Track My Order?
Presently, tracking is only available for international shipments with DHL. Once order is dispatched via DHL to international destinations, notifications including tracking numbers are automatically generated and send to the customer. For deliveries within Ghana, reach out to us via sales@booknook.store for support in case of any delays.
Do you have a physical store?
No, we are only an online store and do not operate a physical store. We only do deliveries at this stage and do not yet have pickup arrangements.

Do you receive payment via Visa & Mastercard?
Yes, this works with the cedi.io option at checkout.

What Shipping Methods Are Available?
We have three levels of shipping and associated methods. For Accra/Tema deliveries, we use our local delivery partner Veritas/Speedaf. For deliveries outside the capital and across Ghana, we partner with EMS/Ghana Post. For international deliveries, we use DHL Express.

How Long Will It Take To Get My Package?
Booknook is committed to fulfil all customer orders in the shortest possible time. We generally estimate that most orders will be delivered within 3-5 days if outside Accra/Tema (via EMS of Ghana Post) and 3-7 days for most international destinations, via DHL Global Delivery. We deliver within 24 hours in Accra/Tema if items are in stock and 2-3 days if products need to be ordered from publishers/suppliers.
PS: With Covid-19 situation and commercial flights grounded at the moment, some of the delivery timelines (especially for international deliveries) will increase slightly. Do bear with us.
What are your shipping days?
Our business days are Mondays to Saturdays, excluding Sundays and Public Holidays. We ship on all business days except for Saturdays, when we only ship/dispatch within Accra/Tema.
