    "Excitement in a package"

     

    "I'm a part of multiple book subscription 'boxes' and The Book Drop is one of my favorite. I love the surprise and it's a title I'm never expecting. I also love the extra pamphlets and bookmark that is included. The biggest perk is that I'm able to support a small business monthly."

    "Thank you Book Drop! This has been an excellent experience and I love that I am also supporting a local bookshop. Loved the small extras received in the box, including a Q&A from the author!"

    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.
