Customer Questions (6)
Q: Do you ship to Europe? Asked by Kelly J., February 2023
Jambo! Yes, we can ship to Europe but we can't offer free shipping to Europe. The cost of shipping the box will depend on the destination, but usually about $30-$40 dollars to western Europe.
Thanks for your question!
Q: Do you have a box for age 9? For reader (boy) who is at a lower level also what would you recommend? Asked by Kelly J., February 2023
Jambo, Kelly! I would be happy to make a custom box for your 9 year old reader. If his reading level is not quite at 4th grade level, we have some short, early chapter books with lots of illustrations and several really good picture books to choose from. If you want to get him a subscription, I would suggest signing up for the 5-6 year old box so that he doesn't receive two chapter books each month that might feel daunting.
Thank you for contacting Jambo Books!
Q: How do I track my order?Asked by Maggie G., December 2020
Once your box has been picked up by the USPS, you will receive an email with the tracking number that will allow you to track the box to your home. Thanks for your question!
Q: My niece is 9 years old. Is this for the appropriate age?Asked by Jussara S., October 2020
Jambo, Jussara! Thank you for your question. The 7-9 year old selections are usually one picture book and two chapter books that are about 100-150 pages long with limited illustrations. If your niece wants more challenging books, I would suggest going to the 10-13 subscription. If she'd like to receive only picture books, a 5-6 year old subscription would be a better fit. I hope this helps. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to post it here or email us at info [at] jambobooks [dot] com.

I've contacted the seller about not receiving the last two boxes of this three box subscription. The only one we received was back in December. January and February never showed up, although shipment tracking reflects label creation for a box in February. The books selected were great for our girls and we were looking forward to receiving more. It just never happened. I'd like a refund of two-thirds the price of the full subscription since I only got one-third of the product.
Jambo, Carmelita! I sent you a more detailed response personally, but I want to apologize publicly here. I started responding to your email on Friday, thought I hit send and walked away from my computer. I didn't realize until I saw your review that I hadn't hit send on my response to you (it was hanging out as a big red draft in my inbox).
It appears that the post office lost track of your February box. My warehouse shipped it in early February. Your March box was shipped a few days ago. I am personally dedicated to making sure every subscriber receives every book they order and I am sending your replacement February box no later than Tuesday. I apologize for having caused you...

I have given Jambo boxes as presents and just recently received our first box. Everything about the box was perfect-the book selection, the letter, and the JambArt on the box!
Jambo Books should be a part of everyone’s home library. This is how we begin to lay the foundation for a better, and more just future.
Congratulations to the team at Jambo Books for knocking it out of the park!
Astounded!

Oh my word! This box exceeded my expectations. The packaging is absolutely beautiful. The books are such wonderful quality and the personalized letter was an important and heartfelt touch. I am so excited to begin reading with my sons and see this book box show up each month. Thank you so much!

We loved out first shipment of books. They are perfect for honoring the anniversary of Apollo 13 and our daughter loves the astronaut themed book. My family really enjoyed the art in the books and they were great stories to read aloud.

Highly recommend - expertly curated, it’s like hitting the easy button for great literature for our little one. The books have become fast favourites, and we have loved the content - great illustrations, stories and messaging for kids.
