History by Mail Return Policy
Every return window, fee, and holiday extension for History by Mail — pulled from the retailer's own policy page and linked below so you can confirm it yourself.
Unhappy with the subscription itself rather than one box? Email support and they'll cancel and refund the remaining unshipped balance — that's a separate, more flexible policy than the 30-day product return window.

Why History by Mail earned a C+
About History by Mail
A subscription box built around historical curiosities and cartoon memorabilia is a pretty specific niche, and that specificity is exactly the appeal for the collectors and history buffs who sign up. Each shipment centers on a themed keepsake folio or cartoon-related box rather than a grab-bag of random items, which sets it apart from more generic subscription-box services.
It's a small, direct-to-consumer operation, so expect email-based customer service rather than live chat or a phone line. The satisfaction guarantee on the subscription itself (cancel anytime, get the unused balance back) is more generous than the standard 30-day window on individual boxes, so know which one applies to your situation.
