FAQ

📩 Orders & Subscriptions
Q. When will I receive my first box?

Your first box will be delivered approximately 10–20 business days after shipment, depending on customs and local delivery conditions.

Your first box will be the next month’s themed box.

Examples:

・Jan 5 purchase → February box
・Jan 29 purchase → February box
・Mar 31 purchase → April box


Q. How does monthly billing work?

・Your first payment is processed immediately at checkout.

・After that, your subscription renews automatically each month on the same calendar date as your initial purchase.

・You may cancel anytime before your next billing date to avoid renewal charges.


Q. When are subscription boxes shipped?

Subscription renewal orders are shipped based on the date your payment is processed:

・Payments processed between the 1st and 19th are shipped around the 20th of that month.

・Payments processed from the 20th through the end of the month are shipped near the end of that month.

For example:
If your renewal is billed on June 1st, your box will ship around June 20th.

All shipments are processed after successful billing confirmation. 

Delivery to Canada typically takes 10–20 business days after shipment, depending on customs and local delivery conditions.


Q. I subscribed at the end of the month. Will I be charged again soon?

Your first payment is processed at checkout.

Your next renewal will occur one month later on the same calendar date as your initial purchase, not at the beginning of the next month.

This ensures you are only billed once per monthly cycle.

🔁 Subscription Plan
Q. Do you offer long-term or prepaid plans?

Currently, we offer a monthly subscription only. This allows you to enjoy Shodo Treats with no long-term commitment.

Your subscription renews automatically each month, and you may cancel anytime before your next billing date.

🖌 Calligraphy Cards
Q. What is the calligraphy card?

Each month, you will receive a unique Japanese calligraphy card.

Each card represents a meaningful kanji inspired by Japanese culture and seasonal themes.

On the back of the card, you’ll find a QR code that links to an exclusive video explaining the meaning behind the kanji.

For your first box, as a special thank you, you will receive a personalized calligraphy card featuring your name written in kanji.
