Shipping & Delivery

Cratejoy offers multiple fulfillment options. Here's a breakdown of the shipping methods, costs, and delivery timeframes available.

Shipping Included in Box Price

Most boxes

The majority of subscription boxes on Cratejoy include shipping in the advertised price. Confirm with the individual seller before subscribing.

Separate Shipping Charge

Varies by seller

Some sellers charge shipping separately, typically $3-$8 per box. Check the box listing for full pricing details.

Stacking Tips

Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Cratejoy.

1

Promo Code + First-Box Discount

Find a seller offering a discounted first box + Apply a Cratejoy-wide promo code at checkout + Use a cashback credit card for additional 1-3% back

Some Cratejoy promo codes can be applied on top of first-box discounts, compounding savings on the first shipment. Credit card rewards add another layer at the bank level.

2

Pre-Paid Subscription + Sale Pricing

Wait for a sitewide sale event (Black Friday, holiday) + Purchase a 3-month or 6-month pre-paid gift subscription at the sale price + Apply any available promo code at checkout

Pre-paid multi-month subscriptions carry a per-box discount, and buying during a sitewide sale can add another layer of savings over month-to-month pricing.

3

Credit Card Rewards + Subscription

Use a cash-back or travel rewards card with bonus categories for online shopping + Subscribe to a box on Cratejoy during a sale or with a promo code + Earn points or cashback on the recurring monthly charge as well

Credit card rewards apply to all Cratejoy purchases independently of on-site discounts, creating a permanent background savings layer on every charge.

Price Match Policy

Cratejoy's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.

No Price Match Policy

Cratejoy does not offer a price match guarantee. Pricing is set by individual sellers. Focus on first-box discounts, promo codes, and pre-paid subscription savings.

Qualifying Competitors

Exclusions

  • Cratejoy does not price match any seller or competitor
