Where the money goes

What's actually included

This isn't a printout in an envelope. Here's what every membership covers, month after month.

A big illustrated, personalized letter

Your child's name, interests, and little details woven through a real multi-page letter from Zip — not a template with a name slapped on top.

A mid-month surprise

A second piece of mail between big letters — a note from Zip plus a two-week mission — so the mailbox never goes quiet.

Zip writes back

The part no one else does: your child replies to Zip, and Zip remembers. Their drawings, ideas, and stories show up in future letters.

A year-long mystery

Season 1, “The Friend Who Finds Her Way Home,” unfolds letter by letter — and your child's own replies help solve it.

12 collectible Crew cards

A new Mailbox Crew friend to collect with the story each month — Cooper, Penny, Pablo, Frankie, and the rest of the crew.

Real postage, hand-packed

Every envelope is stamped, hand-packed, and checked by Mack — the dad who founded the club for his own two kids.

Pricing questions

Quick answers

Does the annual plan auto-renew?
No — and that's on purpose. The prepaid year is a one-time $150 payment. It simply ends after letter 12, and you renew only if you love it. Gift years work exactly the same way.
Can I cancel the monthly plan?
Anytime. Reply “stop” to any email and you won't be charged again. Charges already made aren't refundable.
Is there a sibling discount?
Each child gets their own membership and their own mail, addressed only to them — that's what makes it feel truly theirs. Sign each child up separately.
How fast does the first letter arrive?
After signup, Zip uses your child's details to prepare the first personalized mailing — it's usually in the mail within about a week, and your welcome email keeps you posted.
What ages does the price cover?
One price for all ages 3–12. Letters are matched to your child's reading band (Under 4 read-aloud / Ages 4–6 / Ages 7+), and the storytelling levels up as they grow — at no extra cost.
