General Questions
What's inside the Cubscription Box?
The Cubscription Box is an officially licensed subscription box service that is delivered to your door every season. Inside the box, you'll find awesome accessories and collectibles you can’t get anywhere else! Each box contains a 12-inch exclusive stuffed animal.
Who makes this box?
The Cubscription Box is built by CultureFly, an official licensee of Build-A-Bear Workshop.
How much is the subscription?
We offer a quarterly plan that is set auto-renew, so you never miss a box.
Quarterly Plan = costs $29.99* plus shipping, you will be billed a month before your box ships.
*Sales tax may be applicable
Do you offer a one-time purchase option?
Yes! Not sure if you want to sign up for a subscription right away and want to try out the box? Sign up with our trial box option so you can get the current box. You can always come back and sign up for the subscription plans so you don't miss out on future boxes. Signing up for a sub plan is the better deal.
Can I give a Cubscription Box as a gift?
Yes. We offer a one-time box option that you can send to someone as a gift. This is separate from the subscription and will only ship them the current box available. To get a box set up, you can create a new account with a new username and password for the recipient.
If you would like to gift someone a quarterly subscription, follow the same instructions stated above.
If the box does not ship on the exact date you need it by, use this gift receipt to let them know it's on the way.
Why are we asking for your apparel size?
Our boxes may contain apparel inside, so this is why we ask you for your size at sign up. We offer kids and a few adult unisex sizes.
Boxes may come with tees, long sleeves, jackets, or hoodies, so please be mindful when you choose your size.
Can I purchase a previous box?
Once a box sells out, it is no longer available to purchase on our website. That's what makes each quarter's box so exclusive!
I love a specific item in the box, but don't want the entire box. Can I purchase items individually?
Each item is made for the box it comes in and we do not sell them outside of the box. If you want that item, you will need to sign up for a box.
Shipping
What countries do you ship to?
We currently only ship to all 50 United States and Canada.
How often will I receive my Cubscription Box?
The Cubscription Box is a subscription service. You will receive a new box every season.
When will my Cubscription Box ship?
The Cubscription Box ships on a quarterly schedule, every 3-4 months. If there are any changes to this schedule, we will inform you via email.
***Please refer to the Important Dates chart above for more information.***
How much does shipping cost?
Our boxes will ship anywhere in the United States for a flat rate of $9.
International Customers are required to pay any relevant duties, customs, or taxes associated with their Country, as we have no control or responsibility over them. International shipping to Canada is $20.00 (USD).
Why are international shipping fees more than domestic?
International shipping fees vary from country to country. Each international box is shipped with Priority Express International Shipping and is fully insured and trackable.
Once my box ships, how long will it take to arrive?
If you are a subscriber located in the United States, you will receive a shipping notification when your box is dispatched via DHL, Fedex, or USPS along with a tracking number. At that point, your box will arrive within 3 to 7 business days.
If you are an international subscriber (outside the US), you will receive a shipping notification when your box is dispatched via the post office along with a tracking number. At that point, your box will arrive within 5 to 10 business days. Please be aware that international packages may be delayed by customs in your country and that you are responsible for any associated import fees.
Any new subscription that comes after that quarter's box has already started shipping may take up to two weeks to ship.
Why does tracking seem to be taking longer than it should?
The boxes ship from California even though our return address is listed as New York City – where our home office is. We do that in the event your box is marked ‘return to sender,’ it comes back to our office and we can get it to its rightful home! Our boxes ship out of our main warehouse in California.
What is the difference between unfulfilled and fulfilled?
If your subscription says "Unfulfilled" on your account, this means that your order is all set, but it has not started shipping yet. When it changes to "Fulfilled," you should receive your tracking information via email.
I received my tracking link, but it hasn't moved in a while. What should I do?
We ask that you do keep an eye on your tracking, as it may update as soon as possible.
However, if your tracking link says "Pending" or your delivery date has not updated in over 10-13 business days, please reach out to our customer service at contact@cubscription.com so they can take a closer look.
