How Does Store & Ship Later Works?

Do you often find yourself eyeing our new arrivals, wishing you could grab them before they sell out — but not quite ready to ship yet? We get it. That’s exactly why we created Store & Ship Later — a cozy little service made especially for our loyal Hope & Letters customers. ♥️
By choosing “Store & Ship Later” at checkout, you can place multiple orders and we’ll keep everything safely stored in your box.
Your box will stay open for up to 3 months, giving you time to add more items as you go.
When you’re ready, simply select “Consolidate & Ship Now,” and we’ll calculate the final shipping fee and pack all your treasures together — saving you on multiple shipping fees and ensuring you never miss that limited-edition sticker, washi tape or stamp you’ve been dreaming of. ✨
The best part? You can shop freely, knowing your favourite finds are safely waiting just for you. 💕
