Frequently Asked Questions
What if I Have to Miss a Box?
You must notify us ahead of time of the weeks you will be gone so we don’t deliver the boxes. You should always receive a confirmation that we received your cancellation. You can then take 2 boxes in one week or have a friend pick up the box for you. If a friend is to pick up the box, provide us with a good phone number for the replacement. The friend many times will forget to pick up the box but we are happy to give a reminder call if the box is not picked up. We are no longer offering the makeup box at the end of the season. All missed boxes must be made up during the regular 20 week subscription period. If you simply forgot to pick up your box, we will not replace that box.
What if I Have To Miss More Than One Box?
Notify us ahead of time of the weeks you will be gone so we don’t deliver the boxes. You can then take 2 boxes in one week or have friend pick up the box for you. If a friend is to pick up the box, give us a phone number. The friend many times will forget to pickup the box. You should again receive a confirmation that we received your cancellation.
Do I Return My Box Each Week?
YES! We recycle the box, any pint or quart containers, and clean clear plastic box liners (bags). We do not recycle the white plastic bags with the red writing. These are labeled #2 plastic and you can include them in your recycling. Every time your return your box and packaging supplies, that is just less we have to buy. And that will help keep costs down. Be GREEN and bring back those boxes each week!
