THE STORY BEHIND THE BUTTERFLY POST
Created by Gigi & Isa
At the heart of The Butterfly Post is a project my daughter Isa and I are creating together. We chose to combine my passion for drawing, painting, and illustration with her love of books, writing, and stories. Through this project, we are giving those passions a place to grow while making creativity a more meaningful part of our lives.
The world moves quickly, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. With The Butterfly Post, we wanted to create something personal and tangible that allows you to slow down, be present, and appreciate a small moment of connection.
FAQ
When will I be billed?
You will be billed on the same day you first subscribe, and then every other month on that same date unless you cancel before your next renewal.
You can manage or cancel your subscription through your customer portal at any time.
How often will I receive my snail mail?
You will receive The Butterfly Post every two months.
For example, if your first mailer ships in February, your next mailers will ship during the first week of April, June, August, and so on.
Can I join during either month of an issue?
Yes. Although each issue lasts two months, you can subscribe during either month. Join by the 28th, and your first mailer will ship during the first week of the following month. After that, you’ll receive a new issue every two months.
When will I get my letter?
I send out The Butterfly Post during the first week of every month.
To be included in the next month’s mailing, please subscribe by the 28th of the previous month. For example, if you subscribe by January 28, your first mailer will ship during the first week of February.
Canadian members typically receive it within 3-10 days of sending, and international members should receive the letter within 2-6 weeks.
The subscription is bimonthly, which means you will be billed every other month. New subscriptions may open monthly, but each seasonal theme runs for two months, so members who join in different months may still receive the same theme.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your customer portal. If you need help, you can always contact me.
Can I track my mailer?
To keep The Butterfly Post affordable, most mailers are sent as standard letter mail, so tracking may not be available.
If a tracked option is available for your location, it will be shown at checkout.
