Thanks for your question! Cratejoy bills when you subscribe. As you continue with your subscription, you're billed every 2 months.

Thanks for asking! Though it can take a few minutes, we don't see that you've yet placed your order. Maybe it will show up soon. But, if you're asking a more general question, your first box will be shipped AS SOON AS your order is placed! Most new orders ship by the next business day.

The box shown for this month is the first box in the subscription. All together, there are 6 boxes that are shipped over 12 months, i.e. one box is shipped every other month. So, over the course of a full subscription, i.e. one year, you would receive all boxes. The box shown for current month is the first box to ship. So...you'll receive this box whenever you chose to start your subscription. And, if you want an "insider secret," if there's a different box that you want, go ahead and request it! We'll send that one if it's in stock. We aim to please!
