CAIRN FAQ

When you sign up for a subscription (monthly or quarterly), a box will arrive at your door each period starting with the month you sign up in. All subscriptions auto renew at the end of their cycle and can be canceled at anytime by logging into your account and selecting “cancel subscription”. You can also reach out to us by contacting us. Be sure to cancel before the 1st of your billing month to avoid getting billed and shipped that current month’s box.

While there may be months where everyone receives the same box, most months will have multiple variations.

Every month you’ll receive a box of products that cater to an outdoor lifestyle. We work hard to curate new and innovative products that appeal to recreational enthusiasts. We curate from 5 categories: Gear, Apparel, Food/Energy, Skincare, and Emergency/Medical.

We are a discovery box! Part of the excitement comes from not knowing what you are going to receive each month.

We will send sizing according to what's listed on your profile. If the size is left blank, we will send a Men's Large or Women's Medium.

No, we don't curate individual collections for every single subscriber, but when we do curate variations, your profile will help us determine which collection is the best fit for you. For example, when we curate an activity-specific collection, we'll prioritize you to receive it if you've ranked that activity in your top choices. Do us, and yourself, a solid by providing us the best possible information so that we can deliver the goods to get you out there!

We do not have an exchange program with our boxes. If all items in a box are in original condition, the box may be returned to us for a refund. We will not provide shipping for returned boxes.

Obsidian is a recurring, quarterly delivery with boxes shipping in March, June, September and December. Obsidian will have bigger and higher priced items than the monthly box.

Nope! There will be different product in each box.

When you sign up, you will immediately be charged for the duration you have selected (1- or 6-month for our monthly service or every 3-months for our quarterly Obsidian service). All subscriptions* auto renew on the 1st day of their renewal month. Sales tax applies for US based customers. Shipping charges apply for international customers.

Exceptions:

• 1-month subscribers who sign up after the 20th of the month will be billed on the 10th day of their second month. Starting with their third month, they will fall into our standard 1st of the month billing cadence.
• Obsidian subscribers who sign up after the 20th of February, May, August, and November will be billed on the 15th day of the following month. Starting with their third shipment, they will fall into our standard billing cadence: March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st.

When you are logged into your account on our website, if you click on “manage subscription” you will see a link that says “edit subscription.” By clicking on that you will be routed to the billing portal, Chargify, where you can update all information. If you get asked to confirm your subscription, be sure to check the box “confirmed”, you will have limited access and not be able to update if you do not confirm subscription. Not confirming the subscription DOES NOT cancel your subscription.

We’re here to help if you need assistance with logging into the billing portal, Chargify. Contact us.

Shipping address changes need to be made by the 1st of each month. We can not guarantee your box will go to the new location if you update after the 1st, and are not responsible for boxes that may go missing due to an address change.

Canceling a subscription will stop all future renewal charges and shipments. You will continue to receive boxes associated with past charges. Canceling your subscription does not automatically refund unsent boxes.

There are a few ways you can cancel your subscription:

One- log into your account on our website, under manage subscription you will see a “cancel subscription” link.

Two- log into Chargify, the billing portal, by clicking "edit subscription", then clicking the “cancel subscription” link. (If you have not confirmed your subscription in Chargify, you will need to confirm the subscription before you can access the cancellation link. Not confirming the subscription DOES NOT cancel your subscription).

Three- Contact us.

Yes, you can sign up for multiple subscriptions under one email address. However the activity preferences will be the same for all subscriptions.

We select a previously curated box from our existing inventory to ship out immediately. If you purchase more than one month, the gift recipient will get an email from us if their email was provided asking to fill out their profile before their 2nd box ships.
