Information about pre-orders

Pre-order Campaign LAUNCH 10th JULY 2025

For avid Moon Phase Studios followers, you’ll be more than aware that every summer we launch a pre-order campaign to raise the vital capital needed to privately publish our 13 Moon Journals

This will be our third edition (eek) and we are thrilled to be able to keep going with this passion project - supported by you!

***********

So write this date down (or put a big circle on your Moon Calendar), as our pre-order launch will be commence on 

10th July 2025 (i.e the full moon / Buck Moon)

***************

And now here’s some FAQ’s about our pre-order campaign:

 

Why do we need to do pre-orders?

We’re a small business, we choose the best quality products and print in relatively small batches so that means the cost to us is high. If we were to borrow the capital needed to cashflow these projects it would incur more expense onto you the customer. Placing a pre-order means we can incentivise a discount to our pre-order supporters as well as gauging the interest for these products to place orders accordingly.

 

What do we get in return for placing a pre-order?

A discount! You purchase either a 13 Moon Journal or one of the bundles we have created and receive a pre-order discount on those items. Sit back and wait for them to be shipped to you in October so you have them in plenty of time for their starting date on 20th December 2025.

What will be available to pre-order?

Can I alter the items in the pre-order?

No, unfortunately not. The only items available to pre-order are the two bundles (Complete Moon Collection and Signature Set) and the individual 13 Moon Journal. You can add multiples of these pre-order items but cannot swap items listed within the pre-order bundles. If you want to curate your own items in your cart, we advise that you wait until the pre-order campaign has ended and purchase them directly when readily available in October 2025.

Can I add other items from the website to my pre-order to be delivered at the same time?

No, we can only process pre-order items in one transaction. If you want to purchase something from our site that is available to ‘buy now’ please place a separate order for these items as we cannot hold pre-order and readily available items simultaneously, to ship together. As a small business we are limited to the options we can provide in our system and limited by the functionality of our software, so pre-orders must be placed separately to buy-now items. Understandably, you may want to save on shipping costs in which case, we suggest you place a direct order for all your items once the pre-order campaign has ended in October 2025.

Can I split the order to ship to separate addresses?

No, unfortunately we do not have this option available in our system. Please place two separate orders to separate addresses.

When will I receive my pre-order?

We will receive all our inventory by September 2025 and we predict it will take up to 4 weeks to fulfil pre-orders. We will aim for pre-orders to be dispatched by mid October 2025 and you will receive a shipment notification email and tracking link once dispatched. The pre-orders will be fulfilled in the order we received them.

When will the pre-order offer end?

Depending on how it is progressing, we are expecting to run our pre-order campaign for 8-10 weeks until mid September, but we reserve the right to end the campaign at any given time. Notice will be given via our emails and social media when the pre-order campaign is coming to an end.

When does the 13 Moon Journal 2026 begin?

The start date is the 20th December 2025 (the last New Moon of that year) and continues for the next 13 moon cycles ending on the last Full Moon of 2026 (24th December 2026).

 

What timezone is the 13 Moon Journal in?

We have one version of the 13 Moon Journal in London GMT. Please read this article here about using your 13 Moon Journal in your own timezone.

What if I change my mind or want to return my preorder?

Please contact us to cancel and refund your pre-order in full, before we dispatch it. If you have received your pre-order items and want to return them to us unused and in perfect condition, please email us at info@moonphasestudios.com to organise a return. We recommend reading our Return and Refund policy here before placing an order. 

Can I hold my pre-order and specify when I want it delivered in case I am away?

We cannot organise a specific delivery date as we will be fulfilling all pre-orders in the order they were received. We recommend placing your pre-order to a shipping address that will be able to retrieve your items during the months of September and October. Alternatively you can also wait until the pre-order campaign has ended to place your order directly, which will be dispatched within 1-2 days.

An end note, from Hayley about pre-orders:

“I’m always truly humbled by the incredible support we receive, not just from our loyal customers, but also from complete strangers who will choose to back our pre-order campaign by purchasing products still in the making. Your belief in what we do means the world to us and encountering such kind, generous people is hands down one of the most rewarding parts of this job.

We value every penny that comes into this small business and are driven to create the very best items that are loved and cherished all over the world.

To everyone who joins us in bringing this next wave of products to life: I thank you.”
