GENERAL QUESTIONS
WHAT'S INSIDE THE FRIENDS BOX?
The Friends Box is an officially licensed subscription box service that is delivered to your door every season (4x a year). Inside the box, you'll find awesome Friends themed clothing, accessories, and collectibles you can’t get anywhere else!
WHO MAKES THIS BOX?
The Friends Box is built by CultureFly, an official licensee of Friends and Warner Bros.
CAN’T I JUST BUY THESE ITEMS IN STORES?
Nope! These items aren’t available in stores. They are all exclusive items made by us specifically for these boxes! If you want them, you'll have to order the box!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL PLANS?
We offer two different subscription plans to make it easier for you to get your Friends goodies. Both of them are set to auto-renew, so you never never miss a box.
Quarterly Plan = costs $39.99* plus shipping, you will be billed for your box at least a month before it ships (See the Important Dates chart for exact dates each season)
Annual Plan = costs $35.99* per box plus shipping, you will be billed for all 4 boxes at signup.
If you choose to sign up for the Annual Plan, you’ll save $5.00 per box! That's a savings of $20 a year!
*Sales tax may be applicable
CAN I GIVE THE FRIENDS BOX AS A GIFT?
Yes. You can gift a subscription by creating a new account with a new email and password for the recipient. If the box does not ship on exact the date you need it by, use this gift receipt to let them know it's on the way.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR MY CLOTHING SIZE?
Our boxes will contain clothing inside, so this is why we ask you for your size at sign up. Sizes are adult unisex.
Boxes may come with t-shirts, long sleeves, jackets, or hoodies, so please be mindful when you choose your size. You can get sneak peeks of apparel on our Instagram and via email and text! Follow us and sign up for our marketing email and texts.
CAN I PURCHASE A PREVIOUS BOX?
Once a box sells out, it is no longer available to purchase. That's what makes each season's box so exclusive! The only exception is special occasions.
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 that box to get it.
HOW DO I SET UP MY ACCOUNT?
If you are new to CultureFly, you will need to only enter your email address on the checkout page. You will receive an email asking you to activate your account. This will help you manage your subscription. If you do not activate your account, you will be unable to edit your subscription.
If you are a returning CultureFly customer, there is no need to log in. As long as you use the same email at checkout that you have on your existing account, you are all good to go with your purchase.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please email our customer service at contact@culturefly.com.

ONCE MY BOX SHIPS, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO ARRIVE?
If you are a subscriber located in America, 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@culturefly.com so they can take a closer look.
I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY BOX. IS IT LOST? WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If your tracking hasn't moved after 10-13 business days, email our customer service contact@culturefly.com so they can help you with the next steps.
MY BOX IS BEING SHIPPED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
In the case that your box is going to an old address, we ask that you have mail forwarding set up. Our customer service team will assist.
If your box is going to a different address due to an error, reach out to our customer service team.
We ask to please make sure you change your address before the cut-off date in the Important Dates chart at the top as once your shipping label is created, we cannot update your account information for your current box.
