FAQs

How does the subscription box work?

When you sign up for an subscription, a box full of eco-awesome items is delivered every 3 months... March (Spring box), June (Summer box), September (Fall box) and December (Winter box). You'll get your first box right away, then you'll get billed and sent a box every season. If you purchased a box mid-season, your second box may come sooner then 3 months, but then you will be put on our regular cadence of a seasonal box every 3 months.

Once you sign up, you're on the list and a box for the next season is reserved for you. For seasonal subscribers, each box is billed, one at a time, at the first of each seasonal month (March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1). Every season we send you a reminder notice a few days prior to billing.

After billing, we start to ship boxes out right away and most arrive in 1-2 weeks.

 

 

How does billing for the subscription box work?

If you decide to purchase a one-time box, payment will be made immediately and that will be it! You will have no further financial commitments.

Annual subscribers pay once and will automatically receive 4 seasonal boxes. Please note this is non-refundable and you are committing to a full year of boxes.   

Seasonal subscribers are billed on the 1st of each of the following months: March, June, September and December. Boxes will be shipped shortly after to arrive mid-month.  If you subscribe mid-season, your next box will be billed on the 1st of the upcoming season, regardless of when you signed up.  You may get your second box sooner than every 3 months, but the rest of the boxes will be on a 3 month, seasonal schedule.  You will be able to cancel anytime after 2 boxes. Please note that boxes that have shipped are non-refundable.

What is Let's Go Eco?

We are the first Canadian eco-conscious, low waste seasonal subscription box. Each box is filled with 6 or more eco-obsessively curated natural, sustainable and quality items.  Items are sustainable, made from natural materials, cruelty-free, encourage a low waste lifestyle and most are fair trade, organic and/or biodegradable.  We proudly support small businesses and focus on women-led businesses.  

What makes us different?

We obsess about bring you the most sustainable subscription box on the planet.

Items are expertly and rigorously vetted to meet 3 or more of the following criteria...

We feature high quality items that are small batch, artisan made for almost the same price as other "big" boxes like FabFitFun and Alltrue but feature sustainable items from small businesses that are low waste and include minimal plastic. We ship plastic-free + carbon neutral too.

Our mission is to connect people with small sustainable businesses to help drive change. Going green can be time consuming and expensive, we're here to make it easier and a little more affordable. We also here to support small indie businesses to help get their name out there. They need our support, especially the start ups that are up against the "big guys". They're brave, they're bold and we love supporting scrappy underdogs that are fighting to drive change and make this world a little more green.

What currency do you charge in?

What is the cost of shipping and why don't you offer free shipping on all orders?

Let's Go Eco currently ships to Canada and the United States.

Within Canada

For most locations within Canada we offer free economy shipping with Federal Express on all purchases of $150 or more.  Purchases under $150 are a flat rate of $10. We are based in Toronto, Canada and regular shipping typically takes 1-2 weeks to arrive depending on your location and the season.  

Continental USA

Shipping to the USA is an additional fee and generally takes 1-2 weeks.  The cost to ship to USA is a flat rate of $15 CDN (approx. $11 USD).  Boxes may incur additional customs fees or duties and are not included. 

Why do we charge for shipping?

While we would like to offer free shipping, because we're low waste and often plastic free our subscription boxes and orders are heavier then most.  They are also hand packed with care and extra sustainably sourced packaging to ensure minimal breakage.  On average, our subscription boxes and orders cost $16-25 to ship and the $10 flat fee helps us continue to deliver a more sustainable experience and stay plastic-free.

Rural Surcharge

There are some rural locations where we will not be able to honour our shipping fees.  For this we apologize.  In these very few cases, we will reach out and offer a shipping surcharge or a full refund. If you live in the NWT, Nunavut, Vancouver Island, Yukon, Alaska, Hawaii you can expect us to contact you about a rural surcharge.

Is the subscription box plastic-free?

Making the boxes as plastic free as possible is a top priority.  We obsess about making our boxes are as sustainable as possible. 

We at times will include items made from recycled plastic but the item have to have other eco-benefits as well (e.g., B Corp, gives back). We also sometimes will include items that have plastic-caps or bags for freshness if it's a food item. Our goal is to make the box contain minimal to no new plastic.

We ship plastic-free. Our boxes are made from 100% post-consumer waste and are fully recyclable.   

We also work with our product partners to ensure that packaging during shipping is as eco-friendly as possible. We'll even go pick up items to avoid the excess packaging that may be required when they being shipped by mail.  We're happy to say that there's very little plastic in the entire process.

Can I buy the box as a gift?

Absolutely! A lot of people do. The box makes for a unique and really meaningful gift and we get several messages a season from people telling us how thrilled they are with their present.

When you're checking out, make sure you add their information as the shipping address.

If you'd like us to include a personalized note, please email us at hello@letsgoeco.com with your order number and exactly what you'd like us to write and we'll include a note.

Can you tell me what's inside this season's subscription box?

We don't automatically share the full contents because most of our subscribers have asked us to keep it a surprise. But we also believe that you shouldn't buy something you don't need or want.  So we have a compromise.

A week before billing, we send an email to everyone remind you about billing and shipping timelines. For those who really want to know, you can ask us to email you the full contents of what's in the upcoming box.  This gives you a chance to "skip" the box if you wish.  You'll have to let us know before the box is sent to your home (3-4 days after billing).

For those who love surprises, we'll be sharing 4-5 spoilers and then have a "full reveal" after most boxes have been delivered.

Can I get a refund or return the subscription box?

Unfortunately no, all purchases are non-refundable and any returns sent to us will not be eligible for a refund.  However, if you have a problem such as a damaged item in the box, please reach out to us and we will do our best to fix the problem.  

What if something arrives broken?

We carefully pack boxes by hand but because we don't use plastic breakage sometimes happens. It is our policy to replace or refund broken items. Email us a picture at hello@letsgoeco.com and we'll start the conversation.
