FAQ

Though it was a difficult decision to make, we have discontinued our OwlCrate Jr line. The last box shipped was the Decemebr 2023 box.

That being said, there is good news!

We are thrilled to introduce the OwlCrate Book Emporium, inspired by OwlCrate Jr to cater to the needs of educators and leaders. Our mission is to provide affordable, accessible books and educational resources to empower educators in their important work.

Visit our website HERE to grab some Jr goodies.

Interested in some past Jr Boxes? While they are not listed on the new site just yet, you can email wholesale@owlcrate.com and our team will be happy to help you out!

Our Young Adult Book & Goodies subscriptions will include a newly released, signed, hardcover novel with exclusive covers and design elements along with 4-5 high-quality goodies related to the monthly book and other fandoms.

Our Book Only subscriptions will be just that - a book, only.

Our new Adult Fantasy subscriptions are exclusively Book Only. No goodies (for now...)

The Book Only book will be the same book included in the coinciding Book & Goodies box.

If we have temporarily sold out of subscription spots you will be directed to join our waitlist.  When you join the waitlisst.

Once new subscription spots become available, we will start reaching out to those on the list, in small batches and in the order in which they joined. Within the email will be a special purchase link.

If we have contacted everyone on the list and there are still spots available, we will re-open the site to the public and you can purchase a subscription or gift through owlcrate.com.

Adding your email to the list doesn't reserve a box for you. If you change your mind after you have joined the list, you are under no obligation to buy a box - you can simply ignore the invitation to subscribe when it comes. 

However, if you don't purchase a subscription when you are sent an invite, you will lose your place on the Wait List and will have to rejoin the waitlist if you want to subscribe in the future.

The best place for all your needs is our Shipping Updates page.

We love being able to offer Exclusive OwlCrate Books and Special Edition Boxes! These books and boxes are completely separate from our regular monthly subscription boxes and must be purchased individually through our shop.

Active subscribers will be sent an early access email, letting them know the date and time books/boxes will go on sale. If books/boxes haven’t sold out within the first 24 hours after going on sale, we will send the access link to everyone on our Newsletter List and to those in The Nest. After another 24 hours have gone by, we will open sales to the public if we have any remaining stock.

Please note: To qualify as an active subscriber, you can be subscribed to Book Only or Book & Goodies. If you are a new subscriber signing up to receive early access emails, we are unable to cancel/refund that first book or box once the early access email has been sent.

Special Edition Books and Boxes are a pre-order and will ship closer to the release date of the book itself. Details will always be noted in the shop listing. If it happens that you need to change the shipping address on your order, please contact support@owlcrate.com as soon as you can. Once your order ships, you will receive an email with your shipping notification and tracking number.

Please note that Special Edition Books and Boxes will show as SOLD OUT in the shop until the date and time they go on sale. All the information you need will be in the early access email so be sure to read it carefully.

Special Edition Books and Boxes are pre-order and often don't ship until a later date. If you are unsure whether or not you have already ordered a special edition book/box, please email suuport@owlcrate.com and we will be happy to check the system. If you purchase a second copy without realizing you already made a purchase, you will receive two copies when we start shipping, and once an order has shipped, we are unable to accept returns. 

If you have any further questions, please email customer support.
