Quarterly Boxes released this email this afternoon (emphasis mine)
As of March 1, 2015, we will start charging a flat rate US shipping fee of $5 for our $50 and $75 subscriptions and $8 for our $100 subscriptions.
International shipping rates will remain the same.
As a token of our appreciation, all subscriptions active before March 1st will receive a loyalty shipping credit towards their next box. If you’ve been waiting to try out a new curator, take advantage of our free shipping one last time and subscribe before March 1st.
Thank you for being a subscriber and happy unboxing!
Moral – if you’re interested in a Quarterly subscription be sure to subscribe before March 1 to receive free shipping. I don’t think this bodes well for Quarterly.
New spoilers if you’re itching to find a box:
Comments
I was just grumbling about their international shipping charges yesterday. $20 is pretty steep and I couldn’t justify paying $70/$120 for every box. Now they want to start charging their US customers too? I haven’t been pleased with any of their recent changes.
I think they’re wrong if they think this will be good for business!
