ecocobox aim to ship your first box within 2 working days of your first payment. Following that ecocobox ships bi-monthly, so you will fall in line with their standard payment and shipping schedule after box 1, which is on or soon after the first of the month in Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec. In the event that we sell out of a box run, your payment would be treated as a pre-order for the next box to be released.
