Can I place an order without creating an account?

Yes. You can place an order as a guest with no obligation to create an account.

 

We do recommend that you create an account, however, if you’d like to check your order history and have your shopping basket items and payment details saved for next time.

This is automatically sent to your email address when you place an order. If you haven’t received your order confirmation within 24 hours, please get in touch at info@midnightwhispersbox.com just in case there’s a problem with your order. Please check your mailbox’s spam or junk folder before contacting in case the order confirmation has been diverted there.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is determined by weight, volume, and size of the box. To calculate estimated shipping fees, add the items to your cart and move through the checkout process. Prior to payment, the estimated shipping will be provided. 

How do I cancel my order?

Please email info@midnightwhispersbox.com to request a cancellation of your preorder.

All refunds are issued to the original payment method used at checkout. Please note that credit card transaction fees, payment processor fees, and any international currency conversion or exchange fees are non-refundable, as these charges are retained by the payment provider and are not returned to us. As a result, refunds will be issued minus these non-refundable fees. 

Processing fees for customers within the US typically range from approximately $4–10 USD, depending on the payment method used. For international orders, fees generally range from approximately $8–20 USD due to additional payment processing and currency conversion charges. 

Refunds cannot be processed once a shipping label has been created, as the order has already entered fulfillment.

Returns sent without prior authorization will not be eligible for a refund.

Can I skip after the renewal date?

A: No — skips must be made before the renewal date on the 1st of the month for both Roses & Thorns and Midnight Whispers. We are on the east coast of the US and subscriptions start renewing at 12:01am and continue throughout the day. Once it is the 1st, your order is confirmed and cannot be skipped. You will receive an email confirming the skip made prior to the 1st of the renewal month if you choose to skip that month's box.

Membership renewals can be skipped in the portal. 

If a refund is desired, we can offer a cancellation of the subscription and refund of the order within 48 hours after renewal. After 48 hours, a cancellation cannot be processed. If desired, a new invitation will be needed to gain another subscription. We apply our policy consistently across all subscribers.  We cannot skip a month that has already been charged. 

Phoenix boxes do not have any skips. 

 

I need a refund after my subscription renewed.

Refund requests must be submitted within 48 hours of an accidental subscription renewal. Please note that approving a refund will result in the cancellation of the subscription. Requests made after this period will not be eligible for a refund, but the subscription can still be canceled to prevent future renewals.

Can I skip a month?

Yes! Both Midnight Whispers and Roses & Thorns allow up to 4 skips within a 12-month period. You can skip anytime before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next month.

Your skips do not reset on January 1. Instead, each skip becomes available again 12 months after you use it.

For example:

If you skip August 2026, that skip becomes available again in August 2027.

If you skip August, October, December, and February, you've used all 4 skips. Your next available skip would return in August of the following year, then another in October, then December, and so on as each skip reaches 12 months old.

If you've only used 2 skips in the past 12 months, you'll still have 2 skips available to use.

You can skip any time before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the upcoming box.

Each time you successfully skip a box, our system automatically sends a confirmation email, so you'll always have a record of it. Please note that we aren't able to process a skip or issue a refund once your renewal has been processed.

Shipping

Where do boxes ship from?

Boxes are shipped from North Carolina, United States.

How can I change my shipping address in the same country?

As soon as your address changes, please ensure you adjust it per unfulfilled order. 

Changing your shipping address is easy! There are 2 ways to do it:
 
1. ORDER CONFIRMATION PAGE: Right after you order, you've noticed the address isn't correct. Never fear, corrections are easy! Right after checkout, you will see a button right under your shipping address that shows 'Update Address'. This will allow you to make any corrections as needed. Subscriptions do not have this option and must be changed internally. The address change will be for the full subscription.
 
2. ORDER CONFIRMATION EMAIL:  This is the email that is sent to you after you have purchased a box. Steps to change it are below:
1. Find your email order confirmation
2. Click the button that says 'view your order'
3. This will route you to the order status page. Once there, click 'Update Address' button near the shipping address. 
 
OR
 
1. Find your email order confirmation
2. Navigate to the "Customer Information" section 
3. Click 'Update Address' under the current shipping address to make any corrections as needed
(please note, on older emails, this may not be visible on the confirmation email)
 

Please note, your address must be changed for each order so that it ships to the correct address. If it's changed on the subscription or your portal, it only changes it for future orders. Please email our customer service team at info@midnightwhispersbox.com if you need further help.

Can I change my address to another country?

Are you wanting to change your address to a different country? STOP. Email info@midnightwhispersbox.com for assistance!

Address changes to a different country can often be accommodated but typically require assistance from our customer service team. Please note that changing your country may result in additional shipping charges, taxes, duties, VAT, or other import fees. Any additional charges must be paid before your order can be shipped to the new destination.

Your address must also be updated for each existing order to ensure it ships to the correct location. Updating your address in your subscription portal only applies to future orders and renewals. Existing orders will retain the address that was on file when the order was generated unless updated separately.

Please contact our customer service team at info@midnightwhispersbox.com.

Can you adjust the taxes on my order after I update my address?

Sales tax is calculated at the time of purchase based on the information provided during checkout. If a shipping address is updated after an order is placed, taxes and fees charged at checkout may not be recalculated. Customers are responsible for ensuring their shipping and billing information is accurate before completing their purchase.

 

What happens if my box is lost or stolen?

Lost or Stolen Package Policy

We take every precaution to ensure your order arrives safely and on time. However, once a package has been shipped, delays, loss, or theft may occasionally occur. The following policy explains how these situations are handled.

Step 1: Check Your Tracking Information

Use the tracking number provided in your shipping confirmation email to verify the status of your package.

If your tracking shows Delivered but you have not received your order, please:

  • Check around your property, including porches, side doors, garages, mailrooms, parcel lockers, or other designated delivery locations.
  • Ask household members, neighbors, or your building's management office if they accepted the package on your behalf.
  • Contact your local post office or the shipping carrier to determine whether additional delivery information is available before contacting our Customer Support team.

Step 2: Contact Customer Support

If you are still unable to locate your package, please contact our Customer Support team.

To allow us to investigate and determine whether a replacement is available, you must notify us:

  • Within 10 days of the tracking status showing Delivered, yet your package has not arrived 

Please include:

  • Your order number
  • Your tracking number
  • Any relevant details regarding the missing package

Depending on the circumstances, we may open a carrier investigation before issuing a replacement or refund. Carrier investigations may require several business days to complete.

Policy Limitations

Incorrect Shipping Address

Customers are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address. We are not responsible for packages delivered to the address entered during checkout.

Late Reports

Customers must report missing, lost, or stolen packages within the timeframes outlined in this policy. Prompt reporting allows us to work with the shipping carrier while tracking information and delivery records are still available and while replacement inventory may still be in stock.

If a package is reported more than 20 days after the estimated delivery date, Midnight Whispers is unable to investigate the shipment, file carrier claims, or guarantee replacement inventory. As a result, claims submitted after 20 days are not eligible for replacement, refund, store credit, or any other form of compensation.

We encourage customers to monitor their tracking information and contact us immediately if they believe there is an issue with their shipment.

Repeated Claims

Customers with repeated reports of lost or stolen packages may be required to use an alternative shipping address, purchase signature confirmation (when available), or may have limited eligibility for future replacements or refunds.

Tips to Help Prevent Lost Packages

To reduce the risk of loss or theft, we recommend:

  • Shipping to a secure location, such as your workplace or another address where someone is available to receive deliveries.
  • Providing delivery instructions when supported by the shipping carrier.
  • Signing up for text or email delivery notifications to monitor your shipment in real time.
  • Installing a video doorbell or security camera to help monitor deliveries.

When will my order arrive?

Most of our orders are pre-orders unless it's listed under the Dragon's Hoard. The preorder shipping timeframe is listed on the product when purchasing. It is also required to check the box when checking out that you understand the shipping timeframe. Please note, occasionally, boxes will be delayed due to issues outside of our control. 

Merch - 2-4 weeks

Dragon's Hoard - 4-8 weeks

Pre-orders - The shipping dates are always advertised on the product

Domestic Shipping Information

Domestic shipping typically takes 1-7 business days, depending on your location and when your order is picked up. Please note the following important details about our shipping process:

Processing Time: It may take up to 1-2 weeks from the time the shipping label is created until your order begins moving and is trackable.
Shipping Timeframe: The shipping timeframe begins once your package is en route and has received its first scan by the carrier.

 International Shipping Information

International shipping generally takes 2-6 weeks, depending on your location and when your order is picked up. Please note the following important details about our shipping process:

Processing Time: It may take up to 1-2 weeks from the time the shipping label is created until your order begins moving and is trackable.
Shipping Timeframe: The shipping timeframe begins once your package is en route and has received its first scan by the carrier.

The above estimates can range greatly during times of heavy shipments such as holidays, other peak seasons, and any other global factors that are outside of our control. 

Do you ship internationally?

We proudly ship to Canada + 55 countries! Please note, international shipping varies but we do strive to ensure we choose the best shipping partners to keep it as affordable as possible. 

All international customers are responsible for any duties, taxes, customs fees, VAT, or additional shipping partner fees upon delivery. Please note that Midnight Whispers is not responsible for these additional charges and they are not included in the purchase price or shipping fees. Please be aware that if a package is returned due to non payment, the customer will be responsible for any reshipment fees. No refunds will be provided to returned boxes due to unpaid customs/VAT fees. 

Please note, international shipping has risen in costs recently and a shipping consolidation service may be the best option for multiple orders.

You could also use a consolidation service such as Stackry! More details are below.

How does Stackry Work?
  • You get a free, private US address
  • You're able to shop from your favorite US retailers and ship to the US address
  • Stackry will notify you when your packages are received and ready to be shipped
  • Simplify and save on international shipping! (Also, don't miss out on our Exclusive Editions!)

Are there any VAT or customs fees?

International Shipping Charges and Responsibilities
Based on the laws and regulations in your country, you may be obligated to cover additional charges related to customs or value-added tax (VAT). Please be aware that these charges are beyond our control. We are dedicated to accurately completing all required documentation to minimize any complications during the shipping process. However, customers are responsible for any customs fees incurred.

Additionally, your bank may apply a nominal fee for purchases made from a foreign country. This fee is not associated with Midnight Whispers, so please direct any inquiries regarding it to your bank. Occasionally, certain shipping partners may impose additional delivery fees or charges that are also beyond our control or knowledge.

Past Boxes

Can I buy any of your past books or boxes?

Typically, we have a limited amount of overstock or scratch and dent books that we will be able to release for sale about 2 months after all of the original pre-orders have shipped out. Sometimes you can succesfully purchase past books in those sales however quantities will always be limited. 

We always announce leftover sales via emails and on our social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. All overstock is under the Dragon's Hoard on the site.

 

Will you reprint any of your books?

Unfortunately, the answer is typically no. This is usually due to Author contract obligations or our own limitations. We sometimes have spare books we sell in our overstock or leftover sales, so keep an eye on any announcements on Instagram or our newsletters. 

 

On the off chance we are able to provide a reprint, we will strive to provide several months of notice. 

Payment or Returns

Cancellations and Payment disputes

Cancellation, Refund, and Chargeback Policy

Cancellation and Refund Policy

All refunds are processed to the original payment method used at checkout. Please note that credit card transaction fees, payment processor fees, and international currency conversion or exchange fees are non-refundable, as these charges are retained by the payment provider and not returned to us. Accordingly, all refunds will be issued minus these non-refundable fees.

Please be aware that refunds cannot be processed once a shipping label has been created, as the order has already moved into fulfillment.

If the system does not allow a refund (typically after 5-6 months from the order), your refund will be applied to a gift card or store credit only as it will be unable to be refunded on the original payment method.

Chargeback Policy

A credit card payment dispute, often referred to as a "chargeback," is a formal process that allows a credit card holder (the consumer) to dispute a charge made to their credit card account. This process is typically initiated when the cardholder believes that a transaction on their credit card statement is incorrect or unauthorized.

Chargebacks are intended to protect consumers from fraudulent or incorrect charges. However, they should not be abused as a means to avoid legitimate payments.

Handling Chargebacks

If we receive a chargeback or dispute, we will cancel and refund all outstanding orders linked to the same bank card to ensure that fraudulent activity is not occurring. In the event of a chargeback, future purchases will be unable to be made using the same account or bank card.

If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, please contact our Customer Support team for assistance.

Can I return or exchange a book?

No Returns or Exchanges Policy

Policy Statement

We are unable to accept or process returns or exchanges at this time.

Unauthorized Returns

Returns made without prior authorization will not be eligible for a refund or exchange.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact our Customer Support team for assistance.

My book has arrived but it’s not as I expected due to damage. What can I do?

DAMAGES

We are so sorry to hear your box or book arrived damaged! Our fulfillment fairies work hard in inspecting each individual book but please know, interior inspections are not able to be performed.  We acknowledge that mistakes or incidents may occur in inspection, handling, or shipping. Also, please realize shipping and handling is outside of our control though we package each box with care (bubble wrap or foam).

In the event you received a damaged book, please email us at Info@midnightwhispersbox.com within 14 days of delivery with a photo, measurements and description of the damage to obtain assistance. Please allow 4 weeks prior to reaching out if your delivery is missing.  We review each concern individually and will assist where able. Please note, Midnight Whispers is unable to assist if a box tracking number shows that it was delivered. Please contact your local postal office for help. Please note, we are only able to accept exchange or return requests within the 14 days from the date you received your order, indicated by your tracking information. All of our overstock books in the Dragon's Hoard are final sale and any minor defects are not exchangeable. 

Items below DO qualify as damage:

  • Split spine
  • Torn/missing pages affecting readability of the book 
  • Torn or severe crease in endpapers
  • Extreme blurriness of edges
  • Tear/rip/cuts on the front of the book or dust jacket larger than 1cm
  • Large scratches or cuts on the front cover (Jacket or hardcover without a jacket) 
  • Water damage
  • Defects from manufacturing (large amount of missing foil, missing embossing, etc.)
  • Heavy creasing on dust jackets 20mm or more
  • Crushed edges or corners 15mm or more in size
  • Large dents 15mm or more in size
  • Missing an author signature when it should have one
  • Misaligned sprayed edges 5mm or more

Items below do NOT qualify for replacement:

  • Loose dust jackets

  • Minimal creasing of dust jacket less than 20mm
  • Slightly faded or minor areas of missing foil finishes/scratches on foil
  • Minor scuffing on the edge
  • White spots or minor scratches/marks on the top or bottom edge of the book
  • Slightly blurred stenciled/sprayed/digital edges
  • Slight missing of foil on foiled edges

  • Minor page bleeding 
  • Creasing or folding on the top or bottom of the book spine or dust jacket or at the corners
  • Ripped/damaged blank pages
  • Misaligned sprayed edges 4mm or less

Please note that certain finishes are more prone to showing manufacturing wear, which is considered normal during the printing process.

Metallic foiled edges and dust jackets, as well as black hardcovers or heavily foiled hardcovers/jackets, may show light scratching more easily.

Variations in paper or minor cutting marks along the edges beneath sprayed edges can occur during production.

Some sprayed edges may show faint marks or lines from interior page designs, which is also normal.

Slight misalignment of tip-ins or bookmarks can happen, as these are added after the book is bound and may appear slightly tilted or off-center.

These guidelines are provided for general reference, and each claim is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. All returns or exchanges are handled at the discretion of Midnight Whispers customer service.

My Paper Products were damaged during shipping.

Paper products in the box are essentially free goods we provide in addition to the Exclusive Edition. If these are damaged and the reader would like replacements, please reach out and we can ship them if the reader desires at a small shipping cost if we have additional items or through letter mail. Paper products may include bookmarks, art prints, stickers, etc. outside of the actual book. Bookplates will be replaced if damaged or missing.

Why isn't my discount code working?

Book pre-order discounts can only be used on your first purchase. 

Merchandise

How do I take care of my new clothing item?

T-Shirts:

  • Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the design from friction and pilling
  • Wash with similar colors on a gentle or delicate cycle. Do not bleach
  • Use cold water to minimize the risk of fading and damage to the lettering
  • Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets and tumble dry on low heat. 
  • For extra protection, place the shirt in a mesh laundry bag

 

Embroidered Sweaters:

  • Turn the clothing inside out to protect the embroidery. Avoid washing with other clothing, especially items with zippers or buttons, which can pull on the stitches. Use a mild detergent and wash gently. If the embroidery has bright colors, wash in cold water to reduce the chance of colors bleeding. 
  • Drying
    Air drying is best and prevents shrinking. Place the clothing on a flat surface, clothes horse, rack, or airer in a warm, dry environment. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and put the clothing inside out. Tumble drying can damage the thread and shorten the life of the fabric, so it's not recommended for elaborate embroidery.
  • Ironing
    Iron the clothing inside out, on the reverse side of the logo, with a soft towel underneath to avoid pressing the stitches flat. Never iron directly over the embroidery, as the heat can damage the thread.

Please double-check your order before confirming to ensure everything is correct. We do provide size charts for our print on demand items. 

What is your return policy for print-on-demand Merchandise or Embroidered apparel?

Early Access

Do Subscribers get Early Access?

Yes! All active subscribers across our subscription boxes—Midnight Whispers, Roses & Thorns, and Phoenix—receive early access to our special edition sales before they open to the general public.

For some highly anticipated or limited-quantity releases, we may offer staggered early access. This gives subscribers of the most relevant subscription box the first opportunity to purchase before extending access to all other subscribers.

Example: Phoenix Special Edition Release

  • July 15: Early access opens exclusively for Phoenix subscribers.
  • July 16: Early access expands to Midnight Whispers and Roses & Thorns subscribers.
  • July 17: The sale opens to the general public, subject to remaining inventory.

Staggered early access helps ensure subscribers who are most likely to be interested in a particular release have the first opportunity to purchase while still providing early access to all active subscribers before the public sale.

 

Can I purchase more than one copy during early access?

No. During early access, purchases are limited to one copy per title, per active subscriber. This allows as many subscribers as possible the opportunity to purchase limited editions before they become available to the public.

Once the sale opens to the general public, any remaining inventory will no longer be subject to the early access purchase limit, and you may purchase additional copies if stock is available.

Can I place multiple early access orders?

Yes. You may place multiple orders during early access, provided each order contains different eligible titles. However, you may not purchase the same title more than once during the early access period.

If duplicate orders for the same title are placed during early access, the additional order(s) may be canceled and refunded in accordance with our purchase limit policy.

Can I purchase another copy after public access begins?

Yes. Once the sale opens to the public, the early access purchase limit is lifted. If copies remain available, you are welcome to purchase additional copies of the title.

Can I share my early access password or link with someone else?

No. Early access is a subscriber benefit and is intended solely for the active subscriber who received it. Sharing passwords or links to circumvent purchase limits or provide unauthorized access may result in the cancellation of affected orders or the loss of future early access privileges.

Why are some early access sales staggered?

For certain highly anticipated or limited-quantity releases, we may stagger early access between our subscription boxes. This gives subscribers of the subscription most closely associated with the title the first opportunity to purchase before expanding access to all other active subscribers.

For example, a fantasy title may first be offered to Phoenix subscribers before opening to Midnight Whispers and Roses & Thorns subscribers, while a romance title may follow a different order.

Staggering access helps us fairly prioritize the subscribers who are most likely to be interested in a particular release while still ensuring that all active subscribers receive early access before the general public. If inventory remains after subscriber access, the title will then become available during the public sale.

Does early access guarantee I'll get a copy?

No. While early access gives subscribers the opportunity to shop before the general public, it does not guarantee that a copy will be available.

Availability depends on several factors, including publisher licensing limits, print quantities, contractual restrictions, and overall demand. Some editions may have a strictly limited number of copies available, and popular titles can sell out during the early access period.

We encourage subscribers to shop as soon as their early access window opens for the best chance of securing a copy.

If I skip my next subscription, do I still receive early access?

Yes. As long as you remain an active subscriber, you will continue to receive early access to our sales, even if you choose to skip an upcoming subscription shipment.

An active subscriber is anyone who maintains an active subscription and has not canceled. Using a skip does not affect your subscriber status or your eligibility for early access benefits.
