Frequently Asked Questions
The Book Drop is a surprise monthly book subscription service created by Amanda Zirn Hudson, operational manager & frontlist book-buyer of Bethany Beach Books. We sadly understand that not everyone has a local, independent bookstore near them so our mission is to help bring the independent bookstore to readers. The Book Drop is owned & powered by Bethany Beach Books.
We ship subscriptions between the 16th-21st of each month. Readers will receive tracking via email as soon as we start preparing their mailing.
Our subscriptions ship the same time every month: between the 16th-21st. Subscribe before the 15th of the month & receive your first book that same month. Subscribe after the 15th and your first book will ship the following month. 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).
All standard subscriptions auto-renew on the 1st of each month. Gift subscriptions are given the choice at checkout whether to auto-renew or not. Subscribers have the ability to skip, pause, or cancel via their Book Drop account.
