The cutoff date for subscribing for the next month's envelope is the 25th.

Yes, you can cancel before your next renewal (just do so before the 25th to avoid being charged and receiving that month's envelope.)

We send all mail using the United States Postal System (USPS). Envelopes (unless otherwise noted) are mailed out on the 1st of every month. Delivery could take up to 2 weeks for U.S. recipients, and up to 6 weeks for international recipients.

Delivery times vary, depending on your location and country. For orders within the United States, subscription mail typically arrives in about a week after shipping. According to the USPS's website, this could even be in as few as several days, but it's never guaranteed. For international orders, this could take 3-6 weeks, or so.

Generally, subscribers cannot choose a different date, as subscriptions are designed to be mailed out on a specific date each month. (We send the envelopes on the 1st.) If you sign up on the 2nd, you will be charged that day. But, you will not be charged again on the 25th. Furthermore, you won't be charged again until the 25 of the next month.

Yes, you can absolutely gift someone a subscription to The Traveling Desk. Simply purchase the "Gift Subscription". Please note: As this is a subscription mail club, your gift won't be a one-time gift, but one that your loved one receives every month - unless you cancel.
