I have signed up for the subscription: when will I be charged for the next box?
You will be charged for your first box when you first sign up. If you subscribe to the monthly box, any charges thereafter will be made on the 20th of each month.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping rates (for the stationery boxes) start from $10+ (depending on location), which includes tracking. We also offer FedEx or DHL as a shipping alternative that starts around $23+ USD.
The shipping costs for other shop items are calculated at checkout. The shipping rates all vary depending on weight, size and the country of shipping location.
Shipping without tracking or insurance: If you select this method of shipping, you agree and understand that we are unable to track the whereabouts of your package. We are also unable to take any responsibility of the package if it does get lost or damaged.
Note for Shipping: Please be aware that we do not ship to your Paypal address. We ship to the address that is noted when you check out. Please ensure that this address is correct. We are not responsible for items that are shipped to an incorrect address.
When do you ship out the subscription boxes?
We aim to ship out the boxes by mid-month. If you're unsure of when your box should be shipped, please refer to the product description of the item you purchased or send us an email.
For example, if you subscribe to the monthly stationery boxes: the March box may start shipping around the end of February, and will continue shipping at the beginning of March. If there are delays, shipping may last until mid-March.
How can I track my box?
You can check your tracking information by logging into your profile and clicking on the order #. Note: Please allow up to 72 hours for the tracking number information to register once the shipping process has started.
When will I get my first box?
All stationery boxes purchased are for the next month's box. For example, if you purchased a box on June 7th, your first box will ship out by mid-July. If you have selected the 2-month shipping method, we will ship your July box + August box together near the end of July / early August.
Are Tax and Custom Fees included?
We do not charge these as they will be calculated and collected by your country once the package arrives. We are not liable for any extra costs you may be required to pay. Please make sure you understand the potential cost implications before placing your online order. For additional information, please contact your local customs office.
Can I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription anytime by logging into your account. The general rule is you can cancel anytime after 2 subscription boxes, but we understand that things come up - please email us and we can process it on our end. If you cancel prior to the 20th of the month, you will not receive the next month's box. Eg. If you cancel your subscription May 8th, you will not be receiving June's box.
Pausing your subscription
There is an option to pause your subscription, but please note that when you re-start your subscription, you may not receive the current month's box depending on availability. Your subscription may re-start with the next month's box.
