The Word & Whimsy Post FAQ
What is The Word & Whimsy Post?
The Word & Whimsy Post is a monthly Christian snail mail experience created to help women slow down, spend intentional time with God, and enjoy Scripture, reflection, beautiful paper pieces, and a little bit of whimsy in everyday life.
Generosity is also at the heart of what we do. Every monthly membership helps support the Every Breath Bible Mission and our work to make Scripture more accessible to people who need it. When you join The Post, you’re not only receiving something meaningful in your mailbox each month. You’re also helping put the Word of God into someone else’s hands.
What comes inside each monthly Post?
Each month, your envelope is thoughtfully filled with a personal Letter from me, a Bible study card to help you spend time in Scripture, a beautiful Scripture keeping piece, a collectible Postmarked by Grace stamp, a sticker sheet, and an interactive whimsy activity designed to inspire creativity, reflection, and wonder. ♡
How much does the monthly membership cost?
The monthly membership is $16 for U.S. members and $18 for international members.
When can I join?
Enrollment is open throughout the month, so you can join anytime between the the 1st to the end of every month. If you join during the current month, your first Post will begin with the following month’s mail. For example: You join between October 1st - 31st you will recieve Novembers mail in November.
When is the monthly Post mailed?
Monthly Posts are mailed during the first week of the month.
When will I be billed?
You’ll be charged on the day you join the mail club. This will cover your first month. After that, your monthly subscription will automatically renew on the 22nd of each month.
What happens if my payment doesn't go through?
If your renewal on the 22nd doesn’t go through, we’ll automatically try again a few more times over the next week and send you an email so you can update your card. If payment still can’t be collected after the final try, that month’s Post won’t be mailed, but your membership stays active and you’ll pick right back up with the next month’s envelope. Past months may be available in the shop while supplies last. ♡
Do you offer tracking?
All monthly Posts are sent by standard letter mail with a postage stamp, so tracking is not included.
How long does delivery take?
U.S. mail generally takes about 2 to 10 days after mailing. International mail may take around 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the destination and postal delays.
What should I do if my Post hasn’t arrived?
If your Post has not arrived after the normal delivery window, please contact us with your full name, mailing address, and the month you are missing.
We’ll review your order details, confirm the mailing information we have on file, and help determine the next step. Because monthly Posts are sent by standard letter mail without tracking, we’re unable to see the exact location of a Post once it has been mailed.
What if my Post arrives damaged?
If your Post arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible and include a clear photo of the damage. We’ll then send you your replacement at no extra charge.
How do I cancel or manage my membership?
Yes, anytime, and you never have to email me. Tap Manage My Membership at the bottom of any page, or log in to your account and tap Manage Subscription. From there you can update your mailing address or card, skip a month, pause, or cancel. Once you cancel, you won't be charged again.
Moving? Please update your address inside your membership (Manage Subscription), not just your profile, so your next envelope finds you. 💌
Do you offer refunds?
All purchases and subscription payments are nonrefundable.
Because monthly materials are planned, prepared, and purchased in advance, we do not offer refunds, credits, or prorated reimbursements once a payment has been processed. Please review your order and subscription details carefully before purchasing.
Can I buy a past Post without becoming a member?
Sometimes. If extra monthly Posts are available, they may be added to the Catch-Up section of the website for individual purchase. Availability is limited and not guaranteed.
Gift a Subscription FAQ
Can I gift The Word & Whimsy Post to someone?
Yes! You can gift someone three months of The Word & Whimsy Post. ♡
They’ll receive three monthly envelopes filled with Scripture, creativity, and thoughtful little surprises. This is a one-time gift purchase, so it automatically ends after the third month with no renewals or additional charges.
Just like our monthly membership, 15% of every gift subscription supports the Every Breath Bible Mission, helping provide Bibles to people who want one.
To send a gift, visit our Gift Subscription page and carefully follow the instructions to make sure your gift reaches the right person. ♡
How does the 3-month gift subscription work?
Our 3-month gift subscription is a one-time purchase that sends someone special three consecutive months of The Word & Whimsy Post. Each month, they'll receive a thoughtfully curated envelope filled with Scripture, creativity, and a little whimsy. After the third Post, the gift automatically ends. There are no renewals or additional charges.
When will my gift recipient receive their first Post?
Gift subscriptions follow our regular enrollment schedule. Gifts purchased between the 1st and the last day of the month begin with the following month's Post, which is mailed during the first week of that month. For example, a gift purchased anytime November 1–30 will begin with the December Post, mailed in December. Delivery times may vary.
Can I include a personal gift message?
Yes! You can include a short personal message when placing your order. It's a lovely way to let your recipient know you're thinking of them. ♡
Can I send the gift directly to someone else's address?
Absolutely! Enter your recipient's full name and mailing address as the shipping information at checkout. Please double-check everything before placing your order so their monthly Posts arrive at the correct address.
Can I gift a subscription to someone outside the United States?
Yes! We offer both U.S. and international gift subscriptions. Simply select the appropriate option on the gift product page before purchasing. Pricing varies depending on whether your recipient is in the United States or another country. International delivery may take longer.
Can I cancel or receive a refund for a gift subscription?
Gift subscriptions are prepaid, one-time purchases and automatically end after three months, so there's nothing to cancel. Because materials are planned and purchased in advance, gift subscriptions are nonrefundable. Please review your order details carefully before purchasing.
What if my recipient doesn't receive their Post?
Our monthly Posts are sent through standard postal mail and do not include tracking. U.S. deliveries generally take 2–10 business days, while international deliveries may take 2–3 weeks or longer. If your recipient's Post hasn't arrived after the expected delivery window, please contact us so we can look into it with you.
Every Breath Bible Mission FAQ
Does my membership help sponsor Bibles?
Yes. Every monthly membership automatically helps support the Every Breath Bible Mission and our work to make Scripture more accessible.
A portion of your membership payment goes toward supporting the mission, so when you join The Word & Whimsy Post, you are also participating in this generosity as part of your membership.
What if i don't want to join the mail club but still want to sponor a Bible?
You do not have to join The Word & Whimsy Post to support the Every Breath Bible Mission.
If you would simply like to help sponsor a Bible or support the cost of getting Scripture into someone’s hands, you can give directly through the Bible Mission section of our website. Your support will go toward helping us purchase and provide Bibles as funds become available.
What is the Every Breath Bible Mission?
The Every Breath Bible Mission is the heart of The Word & Whimsy Post. It is the reason The Word & Whimsy Post exists.
Its mission is to help make Scripture more accessible by providing Bibles at no cost to people who want one and may not otherwise have access to one.
Every monthly membership, gift subscription, Bible sponsorship, and direct donation helps support that mission. Those contributions help us purchase Bibles and cover the costs of getting them into the hands of people who have requested one.
When someone receives a Bible through the Every Breath Bible Mission, they do not pay for it. It is given freely because of the generosity of The Word & Whimsy Post community.
The snail mail is what we send. The mission is why we send it.
Can I request a Bible for myself or someone else?
Yes. Bible requests are available for U.S. mailing addresses. You may request a Bible for yourself or on behalf of someone else.
There is no cost to receive a Bible through the Every Breath Bible Mission. Requests are fulfilled as Bibles and shipping funds become available, so submitting a request does not guarantee immediate delivery.
Will I be contacted before a requested Bible is mailed?
Yes. Before shipping, we will contact you by email to confirm that the mailing information is still correct.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. The monthly mail club is available internationally.
At this time, Bible requests through the Every Breath Bible Mission are limited to U.S. mailing addresses. We hope to expand Bible distribution internationally in the future as the mission grows.
How can I contact you if I still have a question?
Use the Contact page on our website to send us a message. Please include as much detail as possible so we can understand what you need and help you as quickly as we can.
