Bye Bye from Book Box Club

Bye Bye from Book Box Club

 

Bye Bye Book Box Club

After five and a half fantastic years of fun, we have come to the difficult decision to wind down Book Box Club. We will be sending out our final boxes in June 2022.

Book Box Club has been a real rollercoaster journey! We’ve packed boxes in Libby’s living room, selected brilliant books over late night WhatsApp reading marathons, lost our voices at YALC, conducted race-across-London style visits to meet our publishing buddies, been for a jolly with some subscribers in the Cotswolds, conquered eye parasites (Libby), broken elbows (Kate), a pandemic, leaving the EU (SOB!) and tracked down SO many missing bookplates! And we’ve laughed (nearly) every day!

Now though, in a tough climate and with rising costs nipping at our heels, we cannot keep the doors open any longer. There is no option but to step away, have a rest and embrace new adventures. We shall bid you goodbye with teary eyes and happy hearts.

Of course, we’ve still got lots to tidy up at Book Box Club HQ and a final extra special box to send to our members this June, but ahead of that… We’d like to thank all of our members and followers for their support over the years. It’s been an honour to create our unashamedly bookish boxes for you, to chat to you at book groups and to get to know you on social media. We shall miss you all so very much.

Love, Libby & Kate x

 

Questions about our Final Weeks…

How do I buy the final Book Box Club Box?

If you’re new to Book Box Club and would like to receive our June box, you can still sign up! Head over to our Subscribe page to join us. Your subscription will only be valid for one month (June 2022) and we will cancel your membership after the June FOR THE DREAMERS themed boxes have posted (around June 15th). You will make a payment when you sign up, but will not be billed again.

Active members will be sent our final box as part of their subscription. If your subscription is due to renew on May 25th, this renewal will go ahead. If you are a multi-month subscriber with a renewal due on May 25th we have already contacted you to inform you that we will switch you subscription to a month-to-month membership for the final payment, so you are not overcharged. Multi-month members with subscriptions dating beyond May have also been contacted and offered refunds or gift vouchers. If you did not receive an email relating to your subscription situation, please check your junk/spam folder, or email thegirls@bookboxclub.com to let us know and we will re-send that email to you.

Can I still buy goodies from your Shop?

Yes. Our Shop remains open and we’ll continue to sell our unashamedly bookish boxes and unique goodies for the next couple of months. We’ve still got lots of treats perfect for book-lovers and we continue to value your custom!

Shop orders are posted out twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Our Shop will close on July 24th, so you’ve still got plenty of time do some bookish shopping!

Please note: we pack our parcels carefully, but in the rare case that you receive a damaged item from us, please send an email with photo evidence to thegirls@bookboxclub.com. We are unable to exchange, replace or refund items, unless they are damaged upon arrival.

What happened to Purely Books?

As our Purely Books memberships were only available as multi-month subscriptions we have removed them from our subscription page and can no longer welcome new Purely Books members. If you would like to buy the June Purely Books parcel as a one-off, you can find it in Our Shop. Existing Purely Books members, with parcels due in June will still receive their June parcel as part of their subscription, and any multi-month Purely Books subscriptions have been offered refunds or gift vouchers as appropriate to their situations.

Can I still come to book group?

Yes. All of our book groups will go ahead as scheduled. We have never missed a book group yet and we’re not about to start now. Our website will remain live until all book groups have been completed!

I’ve got a gift voucher, will I still be able to use it?

Yes. You’ll be able to spend your gift voucher up until Our Shop closes on July 24th. Please note, we are unable to refund gift vouchers, or partially used gift vouchers, once they have been issued.

How can I support Book Box Club in the final weeks?

We are so grateful for your support and would love it if you’d consider treating yourself, your shelf, or another book-lover to a gift from Our Shop.
