Got a question about the Mail Club? Here are the ones I get asked most. Still curious? Write me at hello@symbolsandthoughts.com ✉️
The letters
Who is the Mail Club for?
For anyone who likes a little magic in their everyday life. Maybe you're into psychology, symbols or spirituality, maybe you want a monthly affordable art to decorate your space, maybe you just want something real & physical in your mail box during digital times. You don't need to know anything about symbolism. The symbol card explains what the symbol means and how it might show up in your life. It's for every age and every gender 🫶
What's inside each letter?
An art print of the month's symbol (based on my hand-painted original), a symbol card displaying the symbol on the front and explaining what it means in the back, a personal letter, a waterproof vinyl sticker and one small surprise – a sticker, a bookmark, a postcard, a playlist or a journal page. Packed in custom vellum paper that's sealed with wax (for a whimsy experience).
What language are the letters in?
English.
Is every letter the same for everyone?
Everyone gets the same symbol and theme each month – that's what makes it a club. The meaning of each symbol + the extra stay a secret until it lands in your mailbox :)
Billing & timing
When will I get my first letter?
Subscribe by the 1st of a month and you'll get that month's edition. From the 2nd onwards, your first letter will be the next month's edition.
For example: subscribe on 15 October or 1 November → November edition. Subscribe on 2 November → December edition.
When am I charged?
You pay once when you subscribe. After that, your subscription renews on the 28th of each month.
When are the letters sent?
Each edition goes out in the first week of the month. Within Germany it usually arrives a few days later (up to a week), international letters can take 2-6 weeks .
Why is there no VAT on my receipt?
I'm a small business under § 19 UStG, so no VAT is charged. It won't be charged from you later either.
Plans & gifts
What's the difference between the monthly subscription and the packages?
The monthly subscription renews every month until you cancel. With the 3, 6 or 12 month packages you pay once upfront, get a little discount, and receive one letter a month. When the package is over, it simply ends – no cancelling needed.
Can I give the Mail Club as a gift?
Yes, and the packages are perfect for that! Just choose a 3, 6 or 12 month package and enter the recipient's address as the shipping address at checkout. The package ends on its own, so nobody gets surprise charges.
What is a Founding Member?
The first 15 members get the Mail Club at a lower price and keep it for as long as their subscription is active. Once all spots are taken, they're gone.
Shipping
Where do you ship to?
I ship internationally via a global stamp.
My letter hasn't arrived. What now?
The shipping i untracked to keep the mail affordable. Post can be slow sometimes. If your letter hasn't arrived within 10 business days (Germany) or 30 business days (International) after it was sent, write me and I'll make it right (usually with a replacement).
I'm moving. How do I change my address?
You can update it yourself in your customer account under “Manage subscription”. Please do it before the 28th so the next letter goes to the right place.
Cancelling
How do I cancel?
You can cancel any time after your first edition – in your customer account, or via Cancel contracts here at the bottom of every page. Cancel before the 28th and there won't be another charge.
Can I withdraw from my order?
Yes, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal. All details are in the Withdrawal Instructions.
