PRE-ORDER & FULFILLMENT POLICY

“Transparency is an essential part of luxury.”

At High Taste, every publication, archival box, and physical artifact is produced to order in strictly limited quantities. Because printing, binding, custom box manufacturing, and archival ledger placements are allocated directly upon receipt of order, all pre-orders are final sale and non-refundable.

1. FINAL SALE & NON-REFUNDABLE TERMS

First Edition ($150): Upon completing your order, your payment reserves a copy from the limited press run and funds paper, binding, and studio production. Pre-orders cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded once placed.

Founding Collector Edition ($1,500): Because this edition includes custom laser-engraving on the metal access card and permanent print inclusion of your name in the physical Founding Ledger, all sales are immediate, final, and non-refundable.

2. PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT TIMELINE

Status: Haute Pairings · Volume I: The Black Vanguard is currently in active editorial capture, studio photography, and archival production.

Target Delivery: Physical fulfillment and global dispatch for Volume I are scheduled for Fall 2027.

Insider Updates: Pre-order holders receive quarterly updates detailing behind-the-scenes studio sessions, chef reveals, and printing press milestones.

3. ADDRESS UPDATES & TRANSFERABILITY

Address Changes: You may update your shipping address at any time prior to dispatch via your account portal. You will receive a final address verification email 30 days prior to global shipping.

Order Transferability: If you wish to transfer your pre-order or gift your Founding Collector Edition benefits before publication, contact our support team at support@tahiirahhabibi.com to re-assign the custom engraving name and shipping recipient.

4. DAMAGE & REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE

White-Glove Guarantee: If your shipment arrives damaged during transit, notify us at thehightaste@tahiirahhabibi.com within 7 business days of delivery with photographic proof for an immediate free replacement. Replacement Collector boxes will retain your original assigned issue number (###/300).
