Frequently Asked Questions
How does all of this work, exactly?
Good question! This is fundamentally a subscription: You’re subscribing to the HistoryNet Box, a quarterly delivery of neat items, all curated by our magazine editors, all chosen not only to appeal to history lovers but to make their lives out in the world fuller, happier, and more interesting. The theme of the boxes changes every quarter, and we generally don’t reveal the contents of each box, because we enjoy surprises (and hope you do, too). You can pay each quarter, or you can pre-pay for a year at a time—it’s your call, although you’ll save some money by choosing Annual. Either way, your subscription remains active until you decide to cancel it or the world runs out of historical curios.
Where is my order?
All in-stock, non-preorders will be filled within 10 business days of being placed (not including weekends or holidays).
Shipments are made via trackable service. You will receive an email with tracking information as soon as your order is headed your way.
Please allow 1 day for tracking information to update on your order. If you are unable to track your order, please let us know and we’ll be happy to assist. Just email us at [email protected].
What is a pre-order?
We ship new editions of the HistoryNet Box four times a year, so a pre-order is any order made before we ship the new edition. A non-pre-order, by contrast, would be an order for the most recent season’s box.
What's your return policy?
HistoryNet offers a 100% money-back guarantee on all boxes, no questions asked—we’re that confident you’re going to love what’s inside. Please make sure, however, that all contents are in good shape, and in their original packaging, then reach out to our customer-support team at [email protected].
Canceling or changing an order
To cancel or change an order, please contact our customer-support team at [email protected].
When will my pre-order ship?
We ship pre-orders four times a year—March, June, September, and December—and generally at the end of those months. You’ll get an email when the box is on its way!
Do you ship internationally?
Alas, no! For now, we ship only in the United States.
Do these include subscriptions to HistoryNet magazines?
We’re glad you’re interested—but no: We sell magazine subscriptions separately from the HistoryNet Box. To subscribe to Civil War Times, Wild West, or any of our 7 other titles, visit shop.historynet.com.
