We ship monthly on the 15th of the month. Orders within the UK should arrive within 5 working days. Our cut-off for orders is the 12th of each month. If you place your order after the 12th of the current month your first box will be shipped on the 15th of the next month.
Your first order will be billed immediately. The first shipment date will be dependent on when you place your first order. If you order before the 12th of the month cut-off you will receive the current month's box, if you order after the 12th, you will receive the next month's box as your first shipment.
Example
Re-billing date: 1st of each month
Cut-off date: 12th of each month
Shipping date: 15th of each month
Sign up before our shipping cut-off, the 12th. We will ship your first box on the 15th of the current month and are re-billed on the first of the following month, and the first of each month going forward.
Sign up after the shipping cut-off, the 12th. We will ship your box on the 15th of the following month and you will be re-billed on the 1st of the month after that.
This is to stop you, our customers, being billed twice before receiving your first box.
The latest prices for our boxes are displayed on our website, https://yebobox.com. There are discounted rates available for prepaying for your subscription which are greater the longer you initially subscribe for.
Your first payment will be billed when you sign up. Thereafter your subscription will be debited on the 1st of each month starting from the 1st of the month after you receive your first box. If you choose to pay yearly for a discount your first years subscription will be billed when you checkout. Your subscription for the following year will renew and you will be charged for another year on the 1st of the month after you receive your final box unless you cancel your subscription.
If an item arrives faulty or defective please contact us and we will gladly replace it for you.
We require that subscriptions be deactivated prior to the renewal date if you do not wish to be charged for future boxes.

It takes up to 5 working days for the box to arrive within the UK and between 10 – 15 days for international customers. Please note delivery times may be longer than usual due to the COVID-19 impact on international shipping.
The cut-off date for the current month's box is 11:59pm GMT on the 12th of the current month. However, in certain months, we may sell out early. In those cases, the product description will state that orders will be for the next month's box.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your box or order will arrive by a certain date because our boxes ship directly from England and international shipping can be unpredictable.
