We are primarily a subscription business, which means we use subscriber numbers to forecast for ordering. We always order more than we think we will need, but sometimes subscriptions surge and catch up to our order. In our model, anything we have left after subscriptions are filled is sort of a "bonus," and we are happy to make it available to those of you who want something you don't subscribe to. We are doing our best to balance demand with our need not to carry inventory; there isn't room for it, and money that's tied up in inventory can't be spent on designing and making the beautiful things you love.
Most of our kits sell out during Subscriber Early Ordering, before the 27th of the month. The only way to be certain you'll get something you want is to subscribe. Inserts are usually available well into the month, along with some of the extras from the kit. We recommend you purchase inserts and a few extras to try us out and decide if a subscription is for you.

- Monthly Kits and add-ons for the newest collection are revealed in the Cocoa Daisy store at 11:00 AM (EST) on the 1st day of each month when new subscriptions open.
- Between the 24th and the 26th of each month, extras of the current release may become available for subscribers to purchase, depending on inventory, by logging into your account. Non-subscribers will instead be able to to view the unboxing video of the current collection.

To find past months' kits, go to Shop > Past Kits and choose the kit you're interested in. There are thumbnails as well so you can see a bit of each month at a glance. For Planner Kits, remember that they will appear the month before they're to be used; for instance, the March planners ship in February.
Subscriber Benefits

Subscribers enjoy a number of extra benefits, including a discounted rate off of our store prices, automatic shipment of each month’s kit, first opportunity to purchase items from our current kits in the Daisy Store, special sales events, and more.

Once you’ve signed up for a subscription, your kit will be delivered to you automatically until you cancel.
You do not need to order one from the store.
-
Your credit card of record (or PayPal account) will be billed on the 27th of each month. We typically ship all subscriptions between the 1st and the 7th of each month, with occasional delays due to weekends or holidays. Your order status will change to Shipped and if you click View on that order, you'll find your tracking information. You should receive an email with tracking information once your subscription has shipped; if you don’t have a shipping notice by the 12th day of the month, we encourage you to check tracking in your account and let us know if none of this month's orders have a tracking number.

Subscriptions are available between the 1st and 23rd of each month, while supplies last. Occasionally we close a subscription early because we are at capacity for the following month. Click here to see what your first kit would be.
New subscriptions always begin with the following month’s shipment.
Subscription kits bill and are shipped a month in advance. For instance, the first charge for a subscription created in June will take place on the day you subscribe with the August kit. It will ship July 1st-7th. Your next charge will take place on July 27th and every month thereafter until you cancel.
Add Ons and Options
-
Subscriber Early Ordering is between the 24th and 26th of each month. On the 24th (at no predetermined time) all subscribers will receive an email announcing that Subscriber Early Ordering is open. You must be logged into your account, navigate to "Manage Subscriptions" and add items through your subscriber portal to add selected items to ship with your next shipment. Click the yellow "Add" button and it will be added to your order. No need to check out, it will be billed with your subscription kits on the next billing date. We do not always have extras of all products, but we'll add what we have before it is made available to the general public. If you try to purchase the newest collection's items through the Daisy Store instead of your subscriber portal, you will see a "Sold Out" banner until the kits go on sale to the public on the 27th of the month.
If you are a subscriber to a qualifying kit (Main Planner Kit, Scrapbooking Kit, Creative Kit, Journaling Kit, or Stationery Kit) you will receive free shipping for your add-ons. Free shipping does not apply for International add-on orders over 4lbs or 12x12 products. There may be additional shipping charges for very heavy boxes, as outlined in our terms. If you do not add products directly in your subscriber account and attempt to purchase through the Daisy Store instead during Subscriber Early Ordering, then you will be charged for your items and shipping and your items will not ship with your subscriptions. We cannot issue a shipping refund if you did not add items within your subscriber portal.
All orders placed within the subscriber portal during Subscriber Early Ordering from the 24th through the 26th, will be held to ship with your monthly kits.
Free shipping does not apply to preorders, binders, tools, 12x12 products, grab bags or Limited Edition Kits. There may be additional shipping charges for very heavy boxes, as outlined in our terms.
This does not remove shipping charges from your subscription, just from additional items ordered to ship with the subscriptions.
PLEASE NOTE: If you subscribe to stickers, stamps, inserts, or dashboards (or some combination of those), you will have early ordering access. However, due to shipping costs, you will be charged shipping on your purchases.
-
Our kits are limited-edition by design and available primarily to subscribers. We generally do not restock sold-out kits. Occasionally we have kits left after shipping, so feel free to use the "Join Wait List" button if it is available on our site (you have to choose any options, like holes punched, before the button will show). If there is no button, we will not be getting any more of that item. When the store is re-stocked, those on the wait list will be notified. Being on the wait list is not a guarantee of product; you will still have to visit the store and make the purchase. Purchases cannot be held to ship with the following month's subscriptions.
We generally do not restock other exclusives, due to the quantities in which we must order them. We do occasionally re-release stamps, in which case we will likely hold a pre-order. Sometimes we make the wait list available on items like stamp sets, to help gauge interest in re-issuing them.
If you find that you've missed a kit or a month of planner pages and you want to be sure that doesn't happen again, the best way is to subscribe before subscriptions close on the 23rd of the month.
Waitlist Q & A
Who can join the wait list?Anyone can join-- you don't have to be a subscriber (unless specifically noted on that product).
What kind of products can I get on the wait list for? While we sometimes have wait lists for subscription openings, they're mostly used for current-month product that we may restock after shipping. For stamps or other items we are considering reissuing, we use the wait list to determine if there's enough interest for us to order our minimums. If there's no wait list button, we are not planning to restock.
Does joining the wait list mean I'll definitely get the item? It doesn't; sometimes we have many more people on a wait list than we have product available. What it does do is ensure you'll be notified if the product becomes available.
What if it says I have to register to join the list?
You do have to be logged into your account to see the "Join Waitlist" button. If you try logging in and the button still does not show, please try a different browser or device, or clear your cache. (That actually goes for any time a site doesn't seem to be "cooperating;" most sites cache information to make your shopping experience faster, without waiting for every page to load all over again.)
-
If you do not receive the email announcing that Subscriber Early Ordering is open, you can still shop, however, please check your spam folder.
A code is not required for free shipping. To get free shipping during Subscriber Early Ordering, you must be logged into your account and add items through your subscriber portal.
If you shop during Subscriber Early Ordering through the Daisy Store, you will have to pay for shipping. Those items will not ship together with your subscriptions.
We operate on a subscription-only model, so if there's something you know you want it makes sense to Subscribe. Anything left after subscriptions are accounted for should be considered a "bonus."

Managing Your Subscriptions
-
You can access your subscriptions by logging into your account using the email address and password associated with your account and clicking on "Manage My Subscriptions" on the left (or near the top of the page in mobile).
In your account (subscriber portal), you can view active and cancelled subscriptions, manage payment methods, update your subscription shipping address, make adjustments like skipping or cancelling your subscription, and view your upcoming orders. Please note that the "Next Order" tab in your account is actually your next billing date and does not necessarily reflect what will be shipping in your next box. Please refer to your actual subscription listing to see what you are subscribed to.
-
We do not allow changes between kits.
If you would like a different kit, follow these steps in this order: first use your subscriber portal to create a new subscription for the the kit or that you prefer and second cancel the existing planner kit. Cancellations are only permitted between the 1st - 7th of the month by 9:00 PM (EST)

Subscriptions do not expire; they automatically renew monthly until cancelled.
Cancellations must be made between 11:00 AM EST on the 1st of the month and 9PM EST on the 7th of the month prior. Cancellation requests will not be accepted outside of the cancellation window.
To cancel, log into your account, select "Manage My Subscriptions", find the subscription you wish to cancel and select "Manage This Subscription". At the bottom of the next page, you will see a link to cancel your subscription. This link will only be active during the cancellation window.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are planning to cancel your subscription(s) and then subscribe to another, please add the new subscription in your subscriber portal FIRST before cancelling your existing subscription so that you will not lose access to your existing subscriber portal.

Due to the nature of ink pads, some ink leakage may occur during the shipping process. Ink pads that leak will not be replaced, they are not considered defective unless they arrive broken or crushed. We apologize for any inconvenience of having to clean up a leaked ink pad.
-
We process refunds and other paperwork toward the end of the month. Because of the cyclical nature of our subscription model, it's necessary to process all those requests at once. Please watch for your refund and let us know if it has not appeared in your account by the end of the month. Thanks so much for understanding!

No, all new subscriptions begin with the following month's shipment.
In order to be guaranteed you will get the coming month's kit, new subscriptions must be purchased by the 23rd of the month. Any subscription after the 1st will begin with the next month.

Each exclusive pen with the Daisy on top comes with two refills. to change them, you twist the tip of the pen, as if closing it, and continue twisting until you get the tip loose. Pull out the ink assembly and unscrew the little black cap on the ink cartridge. Then screw in the new refill, and reverse the process. (Note that some refills from other sources may have a white cap, or won't have one at all. If it doesn't have one, pull the ink stick out of the cap you already have, and press the new refill into that cap before replacing in the pen.)
Here's a video to show you how to refill the pen.
The pencil has 1.0 mm lead in the barrel; here's a video to show how the pencil works.
