Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to receive all important updates. This includes updates such as shipping updates, new product releases, on-sale dates for preorders, sale alerts & MORE!

We also share important updates on our Instagram- so follow @thebookishbox and @thebookishshop to stay in the loop.

To stay up to date on shipping updates, please view our Shipping Update Page.

Yes❣️ we ship everywhere except the UK & Mexico. For all international orders, The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box is not responsible for any fees at customs. For international shipping costs please check HERE.

All International orders are shipped via the DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) service. The consumer is responsible for duty, tax, and customs collection fees upon delivery. The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box does not collect duty, tax, and any customs collection fees from the customer upon checkout, and does not utilize the DDP (Delivery Duty Prepaid) service. With this in mind, The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box is not signed up for EU IOSS clearance and will not provide an IOSS number.

EU SHIPPING: Starting July 1st, 2021, all shipments going to member countries within the European Union (EU) will be charged a "Value-Added Tax" or "VAT tax," which will have to be paid by the recipient to receive the goods upon delivery. Proper Harmonization Numbers will be included. Once your box or order has shipped, this package is no longer in the hands of The Bookish Box & Shop and The Darkly Box. If the package is returned to us due to lack of payment of VAT/Customs, the customer is responsible for reshipment, and no refunds will be provided.

UK SHIPPING: Due to VAT requirements, we are currently unable to ship to the UK/ accept orders with a UK shipping address. We highly recommend using a forwarding service (such as Stackry) to receive all your Bookish Goodies!

You'll receive a tracking number via email once the batch your box is in has begun fulfillment. Your tracking number is also attached to the corresponding order on your account. This way, you can have an ETA from our shipping provider on when your box will arrive. We ship in large batches over several business days, so not all tracking numbers are sent at once. Please utilize our Shipping Updates Page to stay in the loop on our fulfillment schedule.

Kindly Note: You'll receive your tracking number when we've begun the batch that your box is in- however, these are large batches. It can take 1-3 business days for your box to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. Please allow 3-10 business days for your tracking to update.

ALL: It can take 1-3 business days for your box to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. Once your box has reached our shipping provider, it can take another 1-5 business days for your box to properly be scanned in and sorted. With this in mind, please allow 3-10 business days for your tracking to update. If it has been over 10 business days since your tracking has updated last, please reach out to the shipping provider to inquire about your box's whereabouts.

INTERNATIONAL: In addition to the above, international shipments are generally not updated as frequently through transit. Tracking does not update from port to port- so if your last update was that your box was reaching the US port, you will typically not receive another update until your box reaches the next port. International shipments typically take 1-8 (we've even seen 10!) weeks to deliver. If your box has not been delivered by the 8-10 week mark, please reach out to the shipping provider to inquire about your box's whereabouts.

We are unable to combine orders to ship with your monthly box. Our monthly boxes and shop orders are fulfilled by two separate teams, so they are able to ship within each of their allotted processing times.

Shop items will always ship separately from your monthly box, within our shop processing timeline. This allows your shop order to typically ship quicker, as we aren't holding back your order for your monthly box. 

When we ship your box, you will receive a tracking number via email, and the tracking will be attached to your corresponding order. Once your package is picked up by our shipping provider, it is the responsibility of the the shipping provider, and is out of our hands.

If your package is showing as delivered, but you are not seeing your package, please double check your front porch, as well as with your nearby neighbors, as your box may have accidentally been dropped off there.

If you do not receive your package, please reach out to your local post office and/or the shipping provider used before sending an email to our Customer Service Team. If they confirm your package has been lost, please reach out to our Customer Service Team, and we can assist with setting up a replacement (if stock allows). If your tracking shows delivered, but you have not received your box, it is required that you reach out to our Customer Service Team within 7 business days of your tracking showing "delivered" to report a lost or stolen box.

If we are able to send a replacement box, we do require the reshipment fee to be covered by the customer, and we will cover the cost of the product. 

If your package is lost or stolen and we either are unable to send a replacement box and/or the customer requests to not have a replacement box sent and instead would like a refund, the refund given will exclude the cost of shipping.

For lost or stolen boxes, if we have enough stock left over to replace your box, we will gladly do so. We do require a payment to cover the re-shipping fee, but we will cover the cost of the products.

DOMESTIC: Shipping typically takes 1-7 business days from the day your box has officially been picked up by our shipping provider. Kindly Note: It can take 1-3 business days for your box to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. This shipping quote starts when your box's tracking shows your package has been accepted by our shipping partner.

INTERNATIONAL: Shipping typically takes 1-8 weeks, depending on your location, from the day your box has officially been picked up by our shipping provider. Kindly Note: It can take 1-3 business days for your box to move from our packaging phase to being picked up by our shipping provider. This shipping quote starts when your box's tracking shows your package has been accepted by our shipping partner.

KINDLY NOTE FOR ALL: The above quotes are estimates and are flexible to change. Delays can be expected during peak seasons, global crises' and any/all factors that affect our shipping providers and customs. 

US shipping is built into the cost of our boxes- so for our domestic Bookish & Darkly Fam there is no additional cost.

For our International Bookish Fam: We keep in mind the US shipping cost you've already paid by purchasing. This way, you are only being charged the difference. We utilize flat-rate shipping to ensure your cost is the same from month to month. For international shipping costs, please check here. 

Please utilize our Shipping Updates Page for the most current information on our shipping timeline.

Your subscription will renew on the 20th of the month, for the upcoming month's box. For example, if you signed up during the sale for our February box, your account will be scheduled to renew on February 20th for our March box.

You'll receive a notification via email leading up to the 20th of the month to remind you of your upcoming renewal. You'll also receive a notification via email confirming your renewal was successful.

If your renewal on the 20th is unsuccessful, you will receive an email to inform you as to why it was unable to renew, and your account will attempt to renew 3 more times (21st-23rd). If your account is unable to renew after those four attempts, your subscription is automatically canceled.

In those situations, we highly recommend setting up address forwarding with your local post office to ensure your box reaches you safely. We are unable to guarentee your shipping address can be updated after your renewal has gone through, however, we will always do our best to assist you.

Canceling your subscription ensures your account will no longer be charged. However, any boxes you've previously renewed for (purchased) will still be sent out. If you received a box after canceling, double-check that your account status shows "Canceled". If it does, the box you received is a box you've purchased before you canceled.

We often find that customers may have multiple accounts at The Bookish Shop. Also, be sure you've activated your account. When you subscribe, you'll receive an account invite where you activate your account. If you did not receive this, our Customer Service Team is able to re-send this invite.

KINDLY NOTE: If you are unable to view your subscription, please reach out to our Customer Service Team. We want to ensure you have full access to manage your subscription. 

Updating your email address on your subscription account must be done by our Customer Service Team. Please send an inquiry to our team to update your email address.

KINDLY NOTE: Updating your email address on your subscription account will also update the email address for all shop orders placed on that account in the future.

Currently, you will need to email our Customer Service Team to update your shirt size. However, soon you'll be able to make this update from your customer portal. We'll be sure to announce when this change has been completed.

KINDLY NOTE: Changing your shirt size will not apply to boxes that have already been purchased and instead will take place on your next renewal. Shirts are ordered early, so once these have been ordered, we are unable ot make adjustments. However, if we are able to update your shirt size on a previously purchased box, we will gladly do so.

SWITCHING BOX TYPES IN YOUR CURRENT THEME: If you are looking to switch box types, but want to stay in the current theme (Bookish or Darkly), we can absolutely help with this. You are able to make this change in your customer portal, if the option you'd like to switch to has stock. You can reach your customer portal by logging into your Bookish Account associated with your subscription. Once logged in, select your name in the upper right-hand corner & click "Manage Subscriptions". Select "Edit" on the subscription you would like to update. After, click your current box plan and you'll be shown the box types available to switch to.

We are so sorry to hear an item was missing from your box. Please reach out to our Customer Service Team so we can place a replacement order for you.

KINDLY NOTE: In the event that we don't have stock to send a replacement item out, we will always do our best to remedy the situation. This occurence is few and far between, but worth mentioning.

We are very sorry to hear you received a broken/damaged item. Although we do our best to securely package all items, sometimes boxes have an extra rough transit.

Please reference our Book Replacement Qualifications for damaged books and our Item Replacement Qualifications. Reach out to our Customer Service Team so we can get a replacement order placed for you and/or so we can go over replacement options.

This occurrence is few and far between, but worth mentioning. For items retailing at a high value (such as an Exclusive Luxe Edition book), we will request either: (A) the damaged item be sent back to our HQ. We will pay for the shipment fee. Upon the arrival of your damaged item, we will send out your replacement. (B) that you use a permanent marker to write your name across the front of the item (if it's a book: hardcover of the book). You'd provide us a photo of this, and we can then proceed with our replacement process. (C) that you use a razor blade to the item, to further damage it to avoid reselling the item. You'd provide us a photo of this, and we can then proceed with our replacement process.

KINDLY NOTE: Our replacement or damaged copies are not for resale purposes that would be deemed excessive or unfair.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any replacements that we suspect or determine are being requested as a way to resell.

We offer different style boxes, that way our subscribers can really customize their boxes to fit what they are looking for. Please double-check your account to see which box type you've signed up for.

Our magazines are universally used for all box types for that month, so if you are on a plan that does not include a shirt and/or book, these items will still be listed in your magazine.

These standards are based on what the publishers outline as the return policy for us to return books to them, as well as the policies of similar bookstores. If your book qualifies for a replacement, please reach out to our Customer Service Team so they can assist you. If we are unable to issue a replacement due to stock, we will go over other options with our subscribers.

Please cancel before the 20th of the month to avoid being charged. We do not offer refunds after we have charged unless the request is made within 48 hours of your account renewing.

KINDLY NOTE: If an order placed experiences delays (preorders, monthly boxes and shop orders), this supersedes the cancelation/refund policy. If an order placed has delays, we will always allow a canelation/refund, before the order ships or before fulfillment on that monthly box/preorder begins.

If your renewal on the 20th is unsuccessful, you will receive an email to inform you as to why it was unable to renew, and your account will attempt to renew 3 more times (21st-23rd). You would want to address the issue as quickly as possible to ensure your account can renew on the next attempt. If your account is still unable to renew after those four total attempts, your subscription is automatically canceled.

You'll receive a notification via email leading up to the 20th of the month to remind you of your upcoming renewal. To ensure your account renews properly on the 20th, give your account a look over when you receive this notification email. Typically, we see failed renewals for the following reasons:

- Card on file has expired
- Insufficient funds with the selected payment method
- Payment method selected has been cancelled
- You've reached your credit limit *credit cards only*
- Selected billing address does not match the billing address on the selected payment method.

Giftcards and PayPal are unable to be used.

When we receive a chargeback, in order to protect our company- we no longer accept orders from that customer, and we cancel any open orders as well. This is what we have been instructed to do by our bank to protect our company from fraudulent chargebacks.

Generally, before moving forward with cancelations, we reach out to the customer to inquire about why a chargeback was placed. If this chargeback is confirmed to be placed in error, we would need this chargeback to be dropped within the stated timeframe in order to keep all open orders and accept future orders. We make a note to not ship any open orders until this is sorted out. We hate bringing this your way, but chargebacks are extremely hurtful for all businesses, especially for small businesses like us. Not only is it a refund, but we also receive a hefty charge from the bank as well. 

If a refund request is made within 48 hours of your account renewing/purchasing, you are able to receive a refund. Refunds are typically available in 1-7 business days, however this is based off your bank's policies. Once we issue the refund, it is in the bank's hands to process the refund.

A confirmation email is sent to you when we issue a refund. If you've received this, we are now awaiting your bank to approve the refund.
