FAQ
Q: What is Snookie's Books?
A: Snookie's Books is a (soon to be) full bookstore based primarily online through this website. We have big plans for the future of Snookie's Books, but as of now, we are just focusing on THE BOX.
Q: What is THE BOX?
A: THE BOX is a monthly subscription box. Customers would receive a hand picked, hard cover new release novel, as well as a custom designed t-shirt that ties into the book selected for the month.
Q: How does THE BOX work?
A: Each month, our team of book experts carefully select a novel for the month. Then, those experts work with our designer to create a custom t-shirt to pull you into the pages. Orders are fulfilled on the 1st of the month, with the cutoff being a week before the 1st. For example, if our next order ships out June 1st, you would have until May 25 to place your order and have it shipped to you on the 1st. If you subscribe after May 25th, your first box will ship on July 1st.
Q: When am I billed for THE BOX?
A: You will be billed for your first box immediately upon subscribing. For every month after that, you will be billed on the 1st of the month. Boxes will then ship as soon as we get payment confirmation.
Q: Can I get something other than a t-shirt in my box? Like a sweatshirt?
A: As of now, we are only offering t-shirts as a part of the box.
Q: I don't want both the book and the shirt. Can I just subscribe for one of them?
A: As of now, THE BOX is only to be kept as a whole. If you subscribe, you will be receiving both the book and the t-shirt. However, after our boxes have shipped for the month, we will post both the shirt and the book for sale on our site to be ordered separately at their typical prices. At that time, we will also be offering sweatshirts, long sleeves, and other clothing options with that month's design.
Q: How much money would I be saving by subscribing to THE BOX?
A: While the exact retail price of the would depend on the price of the book, and the intricacy of our designs, we can estimate that our t-shirts would typically cost $20 a piece, and hard cover books fall in the $25-$30 range. So you would be saving $5-$10 a month, or $60-$120 a year! Think of all the extra books you could get with that!
Q: Will there be a physical location for this bookstore?
A: While we have no set plan for a brick and mortar storefront as of right now, this is our ultimate goal. We have a few ideas that need some flushing out (buildings are expensive!!!) but we cannot get there without the support of our community!
Q: I'm not interested in THE BOX, but I would still like to show my support! How can I help?
A: As of now, since THE BOX is all we are offering, the best way for people to support us would be to spread the word! Share our store with loved ones, and anybody who would be interested in helping us grow! Reach out using our contact page if you have any other ideas to support us, we would love to hear from you!
Q: Will you be offering more than just books and shirts?
A: Hopefully! In terms of merchandise, we would like to be a fully stocked book store (think B&N). Books, totes, shirts, bookmarks, board games, etc. But more than that, we want to offer a sense of community. So be on the lookout for any of our events we may have planned! Snookie's Books was always meant to be a way to bring the community together. Being online won't stop us from that.
