FAQ

📦 Open Box + Add-On Orders

What is an open box?

An open box lets you place multiple orders and have them held + shipped together to save on shipping.

How long can an open box stay open?

Your box will automatically ship when either:

  • 60 days is reached, OR

  • 💵 You reach $500 total in items

Whichever comes first.

How do I start an open box?

Just leave a note at checkout:
“Start open box”

(You only need to leave this note ONCE — not every order.)

How do I keep adding to my open box?

Simply check out normally.
No note required unless you're using a different name/email.

How do I close my box + ship?

When you're ready for us to ship:

Can I add orders under $50 without paying shipping?

Yes! Use code addon at checkout to remove shipping on orders under $50 while your box is open.

✅ Code must go in the coupon box
❌ Notes saying “add-on” will not remove shipping

Does this apply to international?

Yes — open box is available worldwide 🌎
Note: All international shipments include $500 insurance + signature required when your box ships.

What if I forget the add-on code?

We cannot refund shipping after checkout.
But you can use the code on your next add-on order.
