The Middle Grade subscription window is the 5th of the current month through the 4th of the following month. Any orders placed within these dates (and before we sell out) are for the current month's box. Renewals take place monthly on the 15th for the next month's box. Boxes ship the 2nd week of each month.
For example: The February Middle Grade subscription window starts on January 5th and closes on February 4th. Any Middle Grade Subscription order placed within these two dates is for the February box, provided it has not sold out and moved to a waitlist. Placing an order anytime between January 5th-February 4th will result in a subscription beginning with the February box, shipping the 2nd week of February. This information can also be found in your order confirmation email.
If your first box was the February box, your next charge would be on February 15th for the March box. We always charge active middle grade subscriptions on the 15th of the month before your box is scheduled to ship. If your payment method is declined, our system will automatically reattempt the charge 24 hours after your initial charge attempt. After 5 failed attempts, the subscription will be skipped for the current month.
