ONCE MY BOX SHIPS, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO ARRIVE?
If you are a subscriber located in the USA, you will receive a shipping notification when your box is dispatched via USPS along with a tracking number. At that point, your box will arrive within 1 to 5 business days. Please be aware that international packages may be delayed by customs 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 actually ship from California even though our return address is listed in 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 offices and we can get it to its rightful home! Our boxes ship out of our main warehouse in California.
WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR YOUR SHIRT SIZE?
Some boxes will contain apparel, so to ensure your box is delivered quickly, we ask you for your size at sign up! All of our apparel is in unisex sizes. Each box may have a different type of apparel, this includes: t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets.

We offer two different plans to make it easier for you to get your Friends goodies. Both plans are set to auto-renew, so you never miss a box.
