F.A.Q's

What do the seasonal themes look like for each package?  

    

Each TimelyTales box is thoughtfully curated around the seasons, major holidays, and any special celebrations you share with us at sign-up. Every package includes handpicked books that reflect the time of year and are age-appropriate. Our selections explore meaningful themes that feel relevant to you and your family, at that point in time.

You also have the option to add on an interactive activity book, which features guided and independent activities such as word searches, puzzles, coloring pages, and more to engage your young reader. All boxes will be sent straight to your home, once every 2 months.

Do you have a used books or ‘lending’ option?

We are currently working on this! With this option, you would send us back the books you received in the original packaging and we'll send you another box. If you are interested in our TimelyTales Library offering, tell us here and we will get back to you on when this is available.
 

When will I be charged for each subscription? 

You will be charged once every 2 months the day that you sign up for our subscription.

Example: If you sign up for a subscription on May 15, you will be charged July 15, September 15, October 15, and so forth. Our shipping dates are set, which you can find in the next question below. 

 

When can I expect to receive each box? 

You'll receive a shipping confirmation email as soon as your box is on its way. Most boxes arrive within 3 weeks of your order date. After that, you will receive your boxes once every 2 months.

​

Can I change the number of books in my subscription (3, 4, or 5)?

What ages are the books best for?
