WHAT WILL BE IN MY CRATE?
Each crate has a unique selection of options, allowing you to customize your needs and providing a detailed list of merchandise included. With the exception of our Books Only crates, all book boxes include dark & spicy books, themed bookish merch, and self-care goodies and other surprises.
CAN I REQUEST A CERTAIN TROPE?
Yes. For most crates, there will be trope options at checkout. For additional requests, leave us a checkout note.
DO YOU OFFER CUSTOM ORDERS?
Yes! Please see "Custom Services" above
ARE YOUR CANDLES SCENTED?
Our candles range from unscented to lightly scented. We avoid candles that have heavy perfume.
HOW DOES SHIPPING WORK?
Shipping
Non-subscription orders process & ship within seven business days (expedited shipping options at checkout). You will receive tracking when your order ships. Boxes are discreet with basic shipping labels, shipped via USPS.
Crate service to Canada is currently on hold due to ongoing Canadian postal strike.
Member's orders receive priority status for processing. Shipping speed for non-subscription orders is based upon shipment speed selected at checkout.
Subscriptions
We begin processing and shipping subscription orders twice monthly, on the 5th and 20th of each month. If your subscription comes in after the cut-off date, it will go out with the next batch. We process within seven business days after the cut-off date (shipping options at checkout).
Returns
We do not accept returns, but we issue refunds for lost or severely damaged mail!
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
You may pause, skip, change, or cancel your subscriptions via your customer portal at any time. If you need assistance, please let us know via chat or email, and we will get back to you within 24-48 hours!
