merry mailings subscription - domestic

welcome to merry mailings: letters from under hill.

* this is the domestic version of the mail club offering, for people within the u.s. *

merry mailings is a monthly snail mail club that seeks to transport you to the slow, intentional, and seasonal living of the shire.

each month you will receive a letter from the desk of mr. bilbo baggins himself, talking about how he and his fellow hobbits celebrate the seasons or holidays. because mr. bilbo has many friends across middle-earth, some months will feature a "guest writer" who talks about a holiday or season celebrated in their own part of arda.  

every month will include a letter and then 2 or 3 of the following:

• recipe card
• art print
• linocut print
• vinyl sticker
• sticker sheet
• playlist card

shipping is included in the price of the club and letters are shipped with stamps (untracked.) 

every quarter you will receive an edition that is themed to a season of the shire and this will happen the month before the season begins (autumn edition is sent in august, winter in november, etc.) this special edition will feature a newsletter that includes ideas for celebrating the current season: a foraging guide, craft ideas, upcoming middle-earth holidays to celebrate, and more! the seasons will follow the northern hemisphere timing and while i will try to be as inclusive as possible, please note that some of the ideas (particularly the foraging) will be more specific to a temperate climate. 

outside of the seasonal editions of merry mailings, the usual monthly letters will be centered on a holiday celebrated in the shire or somewhere else in middle-earth. while some holidays will repeat over the years, you will never receive the exact same editions or items twice.

faqs

when is merry mailings billed?

the merry mailings subscription is billed the first of the month, no matter when you first started the subscription. if you purchase before the 26th of a given month you will be receiving that month's letter. after the 26th, you will be purchasing the next month's letter. for example, if you purchase october 27th, you will receive november's letter. 

when will my letter arrive?

you letter is being sent via usps untracked mail. their estimated delivery time is 5-10 business days, but they are known to have delays. 

why hasn't my letter arrived yet?

the tradeoff of not charging $4-5 shipping for the mail club and only using a stamp is that sometimes the letters don't arrive right away! the usps often has delays (see the header at the top of their site) and because of this sometimes the letters take up to four weeks to arrive. you are welcome to reach out after four weeks has past since you received your shipping notification email and we can discuss next steps.

can i update my payment information?

yes, you can update your payment info from the customer portal. you can log into this with the email address you used to sign up for the subscription.
