Questions
- When will I be charged?
- Nothing today. Your first charge of $39 plus tax is on January 15, 2027, when your first box ships, then $39 a month plus tax, US shipping included. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing.
- Is shipping included?
- Yes, to US addresses.
- Can I cancel?
- Before your first charge, cancelling your reservation costs nothing and removes your saved card. Cancel anytime; changes apply from your next billing date. Boxes already charged or shipped aren't refundable.
- How do I update my card or address, or cancel?
- Sign in to your account and open Book Club. There you can skip a month or cancel. Card changes open a secure page run by Stripe, our payment provider. You update your Book Club shipping address right in your account.
- Can I skip a month?
- Yes, as often as you like. Sign in to your account and open Book Club. Skip before the cutoff, 5 days before your next billing date, and you won't be charged or sent a box that month. Skipping doesn't cancel your membership, so founding members keep the $39 price.
- Is there a kids' box?
- It's on the way, in spring 2027.
- Can I use a discount code?
- Discount codes are for book orders. The founding rate is our thank-you to early members.
- How do gift memberships work?
- You pay once for three or six boxes, choose the month of the first box and the day we email the recipient, and either enter their shipping address or let them add it themselves. There's nothing for them to pay or cancel.
