WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIB COLLECTION BOXES AND LIB BOXES?

We collaborate with various partners such as Disney, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar and many more to offer you a fabulous selection of fashion, lifestyle and beauty boxes, as well as our own monthly collection boxes filled with our favourite seasonal products. Not sure if you've found the perfect collection for you? That's where our famous LIB BOX comes in! Choose 6 of your favourite products to try from a huge selection, so you know exactly which products you receive – the choice of products is all yours. 5 new products landing every Monday in the month. You can subscribe to receive products every month.

HOW DOES THE MONTHLY SUBCRIPTION WORK, BILLING DATES AND WHEN DO I MAKE SELECTIONS?

When you sign up for a monthly subscription, you'll immediately pay for your first subscription box and choose your products there and then.

Subsequent payments and your subscription renewal and next box payment will be on the 1st of every month thereafter. You will need to wait until your next billing date on the 1st of each month to make your selections for your second box, and once payment has come through for your second box, you will receive an email - Please note, payment can come through at any time on your billing date (usually after 12pm) - so please ensure you wait for the payment confirmation email to come through before making your selections.

If you don't receive the payment confirmation email on your billing date, you can always check by signing into your account, then viewing your Dashboard - if payment has successfully come through, it will notify you that you are 1 box in credit and give you the option to 'Pick Now'. You can then proceed to make your selections and place your order!

If you don't have the option to 'Pick Now' this means payment has not come through yet – please do wait. If you place an order before subscription payment comes through, this is classified as a one-off box purchase (on top of your subscription) at an additional cost.

Once payment has come through for your second* box - You have 1 month to make your selections Then the next payment will come through to make your selections and so on.

If you forget to make your monthly selections by your next payment date deadline, then you'll automatically be sent a Surprise Selection and you will be able to view this order directly through your account.
