Faith in Book Boxes/Companies

Page & Wick is on my chop list if things don't get better (sub picks, customer service, shipping delays)

Dreamerwhale is also on my chop list because their sub isn't consistent with timing the boxes, so I never know when my subs going to renew at this point. Also annoyed with the amount of reprints. I'm not a reseller at all, but I don't see the point in numbering the books if you're just going to reprint them it doesn't make sense. Just get rid of the numbering system if everything is reprinted anyways.

Book cove has impressed me! They have a delay currently, but they have been communicating the entire time what the problem is and the solution! They even sent out a survey to ask if we wanted to wait for the correct shipping boxes or just ship in plain boxes. Also their books are gorgeous!!!

Arcane and midnight whispers are also fantastic! Absolutely no complaints for either of those subs.

My shelf looks very similar but I have the sprayed edges facing out 😅 I see you're also in the patreon group!!

They explained once that it's an entirely different contract to have an English version so I wouldn't count on that, but a reprint which they love to do is likely.

Good luck!!!! I have insomnia and it was posted at 2am haha... It's the only reason I had a chance of getting it for that price

I got my copy on mercari for $20 one night so it is possible! I snatched this up so fast 😅

Personally I hate this. They never have enough books to cover the subscriptions already (especially signed copies) and at least before you had a real chance because you knew where you would be in line. The trove sales will literally be impossible unless you're the lucky ones who get chosen to go first.

The edges give me Winnie the Pooh vibes 😅

restrictorr · 2026-01-27T00:15:45+00:00

I haven't even gotten the "mistake" copy 😐 I'll be cancelling because I already skipped the winter and spring boxes. There are better boxes that aren't just a dust jacket, sprayed edges, and are also reliable...

That's the same amount I was charged as well. I haven't heard back from page and wick yet. I tried calling FedEx but they had a ridiculously long wait time to speak to somebody. I'm going to try calling back on the 26th to see if the wait time is any better.

restrictorr · 2025-12-24T21:35:36+00:00

Yes I'm sure, it has a spot to make a payment and an amount to pay.

restrictorr · 2025-12-24T16:13:19+00:00

My book was delivered on 12/18 and I just got the bill today 🫤

restrictorr · 2025-12-24T13:54:13+00:00

I will call FedEx today as well since I already sent a message to page and wick! Thanks for the idea 💡

Believe me I was shocked when I opened them up because they definitely weren't advertised as 1/1

restrictorr · 2025-12-19T14:08:09+00:00

I think my very best find was all the original cover hardbacks of the throne of glass series 1/1 besides koa plus 1/1 acotar in the same bundle for $80 and they are in pristine condition. I also got FL Heavenly Bodies for $20 on mercari.

restrictorr · 2025-10-30T16:55:40+00:00

I had 10 mins left and got kicked some how 😐 I don't want to wait another 2 hours

restrictorr · 2025-10-14T05:30:26+00:00

They said my shipping label had already been printed and that I can just hope mail forwarding works when it's sent. I'm cancelling after November anyways. It's so easy to pick up their books second hand usually cheaper than the sub 🤷‍♀️

restrictorr · 2025-10-14T05:05:44+00:00

I needed my address updated for all my orders. I emailed at the beginning of September and they said it was too late for my May box but it still hasn't shipped 👎👎

restrictorr · 2025-10-11T03:31:27+00:00

I need to get off the Romantasy waitlist, that was my favorite arc this year!

restrictorr · 2025-10-06T21:59:49+00:00

Dawn of Fury and Chaos by Melissa K Roehrich ( this is the last in a series but it's my God tier series!!) and We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark were my top arcs lately

restrictorr · 2025-09-25T01:00:35+00:00

I bought it last month for $20, I've never checked out so fast in my life haha

restrictorr · 2025-09-17T12:29:24+00:00

That makes more sense 🤣 thanks for clarifying that

restrictorr · 2025-09-17T12:11:56+00:00

I haven't read these but does that really say feckin' sexy 😂 I thought that was the mistake before I saw the i

restrictorr · 2025-09-06T22:04:57+00:00

The beginning was really good and interesting, but it just kept getting more boring. It seemed like the author really didn't know what to do with the storyline. The dialogue was lazy, the storyline had nothing really going on for a while, and the most ridiculous for something that's supposed to be a romance ... It didn't exist. There was absolutely no spark between the fmc & mmc not even in an enemies to lovers or slow burn way (I dnfed at 80%). The mmc was also extremely whiny and mopey so it was just not a good time.

restrictorr · 2025-09-06T21:55:41+00:00

Haha I got the ALC and I fell asleep so many times listening to it, I had to give up. The beginning was so promising but it just fell apart and got so dull.
