Members' Day is exclusive to active Bookish Box and Darkly Box subscribers. To gain access to Members' Day, you would need to subscribe to The Bookish Box or The Darkly Box before Members' Day begins.
Active Subscribers will be able to access the site by simply logging into their Bookish account from Saturday, June 6th, at 8:30 A.M. PT through Sunday, June 7th, at 8:30 A.M. PT. Active Subscriber accounts will be automatically given access—no password is needed to access.
To receive access to Members' Day, you must subscribe by June 4th at 11:59 P.M. PT. Your subscription status must be set to Active, and a June Bookish or Darkly box must have been purchased.
Kindly note: while June 4th at 11:59 p.m. PT is the cutoff, it is possible that we will not have boxes available before the deadline if they sell out.
All of our subscription boxes are currently operating off a waitlist. Our waiting lists function on a first-come, first-served basis. Joining a waiting list does not guarantee you'll be invited to subscribe to a certain month's box. Click here to join!
Please note, after skipping 4 consecutive times, you temporarily lose early access and Members Only Shop privileges, including Members' Day. However, your member privileges will be restored upon your next successful renewal. Please be sure to reach out to customer service at hello@thebookishbox.com prior to June 4th at 11:59 P.M. PT to ensure your subscription is restored.
Active Bookish Box and Darkly Box subscribers will be able to access the site by simply logging into their Bookish account from Saturday, June 6th, at 8:30 A.M. PT through Sunday, June 7th, at 8:30 A.M. PT.
Active subscribers' accounts will be automatically given access to shop.
No password is needed to access.
The entire website is part of the sale. To shop, click "Shop All Categories", the Door Busters banner, or the collection!
If your May 20th renewal fails, please adjust your account as needed to ensure it can successfully renew on the next renewal attempt. Your account will re-attempt to renew 4 times (May 21st-May 23rd). After the 4th attempt, your subscription is canceled, and your account will no longer be set up to be given access.
You would then want to re-subscribe when we open slots. You would need to re-subscribe by June 4th at 11:59 P.M. PT in order to receive access.
TROUBLESHOOTING 1:
Ensure you are logged into the account associated with your Active Bookish or Darkly Box Subscription. The email on your account would match the email address you receive your tracking numbers for monthly box shipments.
TROUBLESHOOTING 2:
Ensure your May 20th renewal was successful and that your subscription status is set to "Active," not "Canceled."
TROUBLESHOOTING 3:
If you are sure you are logged into the account associated with your Bookish or Darkly Box Subscription AND you are sure your subscription status is set to active, not canceled, please reach out to our Customer Service Team (hello@thebookishbox.com).
An easy way to check before Members' Day goes live is to log in to your Bookish Account associated with your Active Subscription and then attempt to access the collection called "Members Only Shop." If you have access to this collection, your account is set to have access during Members' Day. However, the access is revoked if your subscription is canceled after you do the test (either by manually canceling or by not having your May 20th renewal successfully processed). If you cannot access this collection, reach out to our Customer Service Team so they can address any issues and ensure you have access during Members' Day.
Kindly note: Skipping your May 20th renewal does not revoke your access. As long as your subscription status is set to active, not canceled, you will have access to Members' Day. However, if you skip your May 20th renewal and that puts you at your 4th consecutive skip, you'll temporarily lose access to the Members' Only shop and Members' Day Sale.
If you have skipped 4 consecutive times, contact our Customer Service Team at hello@thebookishbox.com once you sucessfully renew for a subscription, and they will help make sure you have access to the Members' Day Sale.
-Ensure your correct shipping address is set to be your default shipping address well before June 6th.
-If you are worried about an item selling out before you check out, check out with that item ASAP, and once the order is submitted, come back to shop! We recommend looking at what items will be available, creating a "must have" list, and purchasing the items on that list ASAP. For all items not on your "must have" list, come back and shop after your "must have" list has been purchased. Note that shipping and fees will apply per order, as orders cannot be merged.
-Set an alarm on your phone for 5 minutes before the sale starts. This way, you can be ready to log in once the site opens.
-If you do not live in the PT timezone, we recommend looking up what time 8:30 A.M. PT is in your timezone. Don't let the timezones rob you of your Bookish goodies!
-Set up your express pay for easier checkout well before June 6th. This would include things such as ShopPay, PayPal, ApplePay, and GooglePay, which can assist with a speedy checkout. Kindly note: any express pay option will take you to another screen to log in and process payment. We also recommend using a card on file or having your card information on hand before June 6th at 8 A.M. PT, including the billing address for your card. (Please note that express pay options are unavailable for purchasing monthly subscription boxes).
-Ensure your May 20th renewal was successful before May 25th! If you do not successfully renew for a June box, your account will be marked as canceled, and your account will not be given access to Members' Day. If your account fails to renew, you must re-subscribe when we open slots. You need to re-subscribe by June 4th at 11:59 P.M. PT in order to receive access.
