Gift Giving FAQ

If I buy two of the same subscription, will the reader(s) receive the same book?

Yes. For example if you purhcase two Middle Grade subscriptions, the readers will receive the same book every month.

Can the first book be shipped to me and future books shipped to the reader?

Yes! After the first book is shipped subscribers can easily edit the shipping address via their Book Drop Portal or they can contact us at support@thebookdrop.com.

What if they don't like the subscription I chose?

That's okay! We can update the genre or subscription type at any time. In the event of a price difference the purchaser will either be refunded or invoiced for the difference. Please note that updating the genre/subscription type via your Book Drop Portal will only update future renewals. For existing pending shipments to update you will need to contact support@thebookdrop.com.

Do you have printable gift notes?

We do! Printable gift notes can be found here.

Can I include a gift note?

Yes! Please use our gifting options at checkout. If a gift note is provided at checkout we will handwrite the gift note and include it in the first mailing. Don't forget to tell them who it is from!

FAQ

What is The Book Drop?

The Book Drop is a surprise monthly book subscription service powered by Bethany Beach Books, an independent bookstore in Bethany Beach, Delaware. We shipped our first mailing in 2015! We understand that sadly not everyone has a local, independent bookstore near them so our mission is to help bring the independent bookstore experience to readers.

When do you ship subscriptions

We ship book subscriptions between the 15th-21st of each month. Readers will receive tracking via email as soon as we start preparing their mailing. One-time orders ship within 2-3 business days and pre-orders ship on their release date.

When will I get my first book?

Our book subscriptions ship the same time every month: between the 15th-21st. Subscribe before the 11th (11:59pm EST) of the mailing month & receive your book with that round of mailings! Subscribe on or after the 12th (12:00am EST) and your first book will ship the following quarterly mailing. As soon as we start packing your subscription, we send an email with tracking information. All one-time products from our Shop ship within 2-3 business days (or on release date for pre-orders).

When will I get billed?

Subscribers will be charged for their first mailing(s) when they sign up. As of 2/16/25, all renewals will process on the 1st of the month. Subscribers have the ability to skip, pause, or cancel via their Book Drop account.
