Domestic Shipping Updates
Effective beginning May 31, 2026
2026 is our tenth year and it's off to an incredible start! However, as with most things, the shipping costs associated with our boxes have continued to increase. To ensure that we are able to continue to create beautiful reading experience for our Book Clubbers, we are adjusting our prices to ensure the quality our customers expect from us remains sustainable.
So what's changing?
- Our base subscription price will now be $49.99 per month ($10 decrease)! For current subscribers, this change will take effect with your June 25th renewal. Shipping per month will be consistent and will be prefaced with an announcement to active subscribers before any changes are made.
- Multi-month subscribers will not see this change take effect until your next paid renewal.
- Ready-to-ship shop box prices will be lowered! ($5-$10 decrease per box)
- Current pre-orders (Nightmares Halloween and Magic Halloween) will continue to be offered at the free shipping rate as advertised. Once these pre-orders become ready-to-ship from our warehouse, their shipping rates will be adjusted accordingly. Future pre-orders will follow the new shipping rates.
- All domestic shipping rates will now be calculated at checkout based on order weight/location. In many cases, purchasing more will result in lower per-product shipping costs as many items can be combined. Shipping costs will be paid at the time of purchase.
Any questions about these changes can be sent to our customer service team at any time and we'll be happy to assist you as quickly as possible!
