FAQ
Ordering & Promotions
Q: How does the Buy More, Get More FREE promotion work? How many books are free?
The free books are counted inside your cart rather than sent separately, and the discount applies automatically at checkout on imanioliver.com, with no code needed. Mix and match any titles. With my Early Black Friday deal: 6 books, pay for 4 ($59.96), 8 books, pay for 5 ($74.95), and 10 books, pay for 6 ($89.94). My everyday deal still applies in between: 5 books, pay for 4; 7 books, pay for 5; and 9 books, pay for 6. So 5 and 6 books cost the same, as do 7 and 8, and 9 and 10. Add all your books in one go, and free books apply when everything ships to the same address.
Q: Do you have active discount codes or promotions?
Yes! The Buy More, Get More Free promotion is always active and applies automatically in your cart. You can also use code IMANI10 for 10% off, which combines with the free book promotion. Plus, orders of 3 or more books always ship free.
Q: Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! Orders of 3 or more books ship free automatically by Economy shipping within the US. Orders of 1 to 2 books ship for $2.99 by Economy or $5.99 by Standard.
Q: Can I change or cancel my order?
You have a 1-hour window after checkout to edit or cancel your order. After that it is usually already with my warehouse, which ships within 1 business day. Email info@imanioliver.com right away with your order number. If it has already shipped, I will still make it right.
Q: Do you offer bulk or wholesale orders?
Yes! Wholesale pricing is available for orders of 18 or more books: 40% off with free shipping included. You can mix and match any titles. This is perfect for schools, churches, libraries, museums, organizations, book clubs, and family reunions. Please contact me with your quantity and purpose for a custom quote and secure payment link.
Shipping & Delivery
Q: What is the shipping time?
Every title is in stock at my US warehouse and ships within 1 business day. After that, Economy delivery usually takes 5 to 8 business days, Standard 3 to 5, and Expedited about 3 business days. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Q: Why did my order arrive in two separate packages?
Every title now ships from the same US warehouse, so most orders arrive in one package. If yours was split, you'll receive a separate tracking email for each box. If a title seems to be missing, please contact me with your order number and I'll make it right.
Q: Do you offer express shipping?
Yes. At checkout you can choose Standard (3 to 5 business days) or Expedited (about 3 business days, from $12.99). All orders ship within 1 business day. If you have a firm deadline like a birthday, event, or family reunion, contact me before ordering and I'll tell you which option will make it.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
Currently, orders ship within the United States. If you're outside the US and interested in the books, please contact me.
Q: Can I track my order?
Absolutely. Once your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number by email. You can track your package anytime at imanioliver.com/pages/track-your-order.
Q: My tracking number starts with 803 and doesn't work on the USPS website. Is it fake?
Not at all! Tracking numbers starting with 803 are UPS Mail Innovations shipments: UPS handles the first part of the journey, then hands off to USPS for final delivery. These numbers won't work typed directly into usps.com. Use the tracking page on my website instead, which shows the full journey.
Q: My order says delivered but I haven't received it. What should I do?
First, please check your front door, porch, mailbox, parcel locker, side entrances, with neighbors, and with building management if you live in an apartment. Carriers sometimes mark packages delivered slightly before the final drop-off, so it may also appear within 24β48 hours. If you still can't find it, contact me with your order number and confirm your full shipping address, and I'll make it right.
About the Books
Q: Are the puzzle books the same?
No, each book focuses on a different topic. For example, my Black Women Word Search features only Black women and their achievements, while other books celebrate different aspects of our history like inventors, musicians, or historical events. Each book offers unique content that honors Black heritage and culture.
Q: What's the difference between Word Search and Fill-In Puzzles?
The Word Search books have you finding words hidden in a letter grid: relaxing and great for unwinding. The Fill-In Puzzles work differently: you get a word list and fit each word into a crossword-style grid based on its letter count. It's more strategic, like solving a puzzle piece by piece. Both include fun facts about Black history and culture throughout. Each style is available in all five themes: Black Women, Black Men, Black History, Black Culture, and African American.
Q: Are the puzzles large print?
Yes! My paperback books feature a large 16pt font on big 8.5 x 11 inch pages for maximum readability, making them perfect for seniors or anyone who prefers comfortable reading.
Q: Are the books good for seniors?
Absolutely! The books are designed with adults and seniors in mind: large print, clear letters, and engaging themes. Many customers are retirees who enjoy them daily to stay sharp, and they're a favorite gift for parents and grandparents.
Q: How many puzzles are included?
Each paperback contains 100 themed puzzles, with solutions included at the back of the book. Every puzzle is carefully designed to provide hours of fun and learning.
Q: Do you make books for kids as well as adults?
My word search books are designed for all ages. I label them as "for adults" mainly because to get the most out of the books, readers may need to do a little research on words or topics they might not already know. This adds an educational layer that older readers especially enjoy. That said, younger readers can absolutely enjoy the puzzles too, especially with a bit of guidance or support. Many parents and teachers have told me the books make a fun way for kids to learn new vocabulary and expand their knowledge while having fun.
Returns & Replacements
Q: What is your return or refund policy?
You can return books within 60 days of delivery for a refund, with no restocking fee; return postage is paid by you. If you change your mind within an hour of ordering, I can simply cancel the order. To start a return, email info@imanioliver.com with your order number.
Free Replacement Policy: I provide free replacements if your order is lost during tracked shipping, damaged, has a printing or manufacturing error, missing items, incorrect specifications, or wrong quantity.

Customer satisfaction comes first, always.
Payments & Contact
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
I accept PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and all major credit/debit cards.
