THE ARCHIVE ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
The Subscription
What comes in every Herbology Post envelope?
Every monthly envelope contains:
- 1 collectible trading card
- 1 illustrated field guide / notes page
- 1 handwritten-style letter home from the mystery student
- 1 postcard
- 2 stickers
How much does it cost?
Month-to-month is $8.99. A three-month term is $24.99, and a twelve-month term is $89.99. Shipping can be shown separately at checkout if you choose to charge it separately.
Will my subscription renew automatically?
Month-to-month subscriptions renew each billing period until cancelled. For prepaid three-month and twelve-month plans, configure your Squarespace product settings to match whether you want them to renew or end after the purchased term.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Month-to-month subscribers can cancel before their next renewal. Add your final cancellation cutoff and refund policy here once you decide it.
The Mystery
Do I know which plant is coming?
No. The monthly specimen is intentionally kept secret until the envelope arrives. The plant is part of the student's current lesson and story.
Who is the student writing the letters?
That's part of the story. The student remains unnamed, and you learn about their life at the school only through the letters they send home.
Do the letters connect from month to month?
Yes. Herbology Post tells one continuing story. Characters, professors, rumors, places, clues, and seemingly minor details can return later.
Do I need to start with the first letter?
No. You can join with the current dispatch. The story is designed so new readers can enter along the way, while longtime subscribers will recognize more references and clues.
Cards & Rarity
How do holographic cards work?
Each monthly trading card has a 1-in-5 chance of being replaced by its holographic version.
What is a Secret Rare?
A Secret Rare is an additional restricted specimen card outside the normal monthly catalogue. 1 in 12 envelopes includes one.
Can I choose a holo or Secret Rare?
No. Rare cards are randomly inserted and cannot be selected or guaranteed with an individual order.
Are all card backs the same?
Yes. The collection uses one consistent Herbology Post card back so regular, holographic, and Secret Rare cards all feel like part of the same archive.
Shipping
When does my envelope ship?
Shipping schedule coming soon. Replace this text with your final monthly mailing date and subscriber cutoff before launch.
How is it mailed?
Herbology Post is designed as physical correspondence and will be mailed through USPS. Final postage class and delivery estimates should be added here once your packaging weight and dimensions are locked in.
What if my mail is damaged or missing?
Add your final replacement policy here before launch. A simple customer-friendly policy is best for damaged or genuinely lost mail.
Botanical Information
Is the plant information real?
Yes. Herbology Post blends an original fictional school and story with real botanical cultivation, history, folklore, and educational plant information.
Is Herbology Post medical advice?
No. References to historical, traditional, holistic, or medicinal plant use are provided for educational and storytelling purposes and are not personal medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Gifts
Can I send Herbology Post as a gift?
Yes. The three-month or twelve-month term works especially well as a gift. Make sure the recipient's mailing address is entered correctly at checkout.
