“Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, "What else could this mean?”
— Shannon L. Alder

Is Shipping Included in the 12:56 a.m. Box gifts?
12:56 A.M. BOX (gift boxes): No, there is an additional fixed-rate shipping fee per gift box listed at check-out.
My box is a gift. I don’t want a receipt or any prices included in the packaging. Do you include pricing in the box? Each gift box purchased at 12:56 a.m. Box is shipped in luxe packaging and topped with a handwritten note. No packing slip or invoice of any kind is ever included in the shipping box.
In terms of prices per item, we do not alter any of our products by removing tags or crossing out labels—we want to ensure the packaging remains beautiful and intact. Many of our products do not come with price tags, and when they do, they are small and subtle.
Does the box ship as pictured? The 12:56 a.m. Box has a magnetic closure and is adorned with a ribbon. Each box will ship inside a shipper box, so it stays clean and pretty.
What is the size of each box? We currently have three box sizes – Large Keepsake, glossy black [10" x 10" x 4"], Medium Foldaway/reusable, glossy black [8" x 8" x 3"], Small Keepsake, glossy white [6” x 6” x 2 3/4”]. Your support will determine whether we have more sizes in the future.
I want to order multiple boxes shipping to multiple addresses, but your website only allows me to enter one address per order. What do I do? Yes, sometimes, these template websites can be frustrating. To work around this, you can place a separate order for each recipient. As we grow, we will explore a more viable solution.
