FAQs
MY SUBSCRIPTION
What is a Peony Parcel?
Peony Parcel is a quarterly pamper subscription box and pamper gifting service. For Peony Parcel subscriptions, every third month, for the price of $99 + FREE POSTAGE within Australia, you'll receive a box filled with 5 to 7 trial size and full size products from Australian emerging and premium brands to help you enjoy some “me” time. You can expect to find a selection of beauty and lifestyle products such as beauty and bath products, beautifully designed stationery, candles, gourmet treats and more, handpicked from Australian emerging and premium brands. From time to time, we will also feature premium international brands.
When you subscribe to a Peony Parcel, you agree to the setup of a recurring payment, which is set to take payment for the box when you first subscribe and then on the 15th of the month prior to the release month. This will continue unless you decide to cancel the subscription (which needs to be 7 days prior to the next payment date). Please refer to the cancellation policy below.
The box will also include a Peony Parcel mini magazine which includes details of the products. We hunt and research for emerging and premium Australian brands to feature in the Peony Parcel. All our brands are introduced to you by way of travel size or full size products, beautifully wrapped and delivered to your door. All the products are packaged in a Peony Parcel box, ready to gift to yourself or someone special.

Peony Parcels are available until sold out.
In the release month, our Peony Parcels are shipped out from the 1st of the month. In the release month, for boxes purchased after the 10th, they are shipped out twice a week until sold out.
Is it possible to receive previous Boxes?
At times, we may put one off previous edition boxes in the Peony Parcel store and these can be purchased without subscribing.

What is your cancellation policy?
Quarterly subscription cancellation - To cancel your quarterly subscription, you can do so by logging into your account on our website and cancelling in the account, or you can email us directly at hello@peonyparcel.com to request cancellation.
We need to receive notice of cancellation 7 days prior to your payment date so that we can ensure you are not charged for the next billing period. If we do not receive your cancellation notice 7 days prior to the next payment date, you will be charged for the extra months’ fee and the box will be delivered to you for that month.
Prepaid 6 month subscription or Annual subscription cancellation - Prepaid 6 month subscriptions may only be cancelled at the termination of the subscription period. You will receive an email prior to the end of the 6 month subscription term to confirm that the prepaid 6 month subscription will be renewed. If we do not receive notice that you wish to cancel 7 days prior to your scheduled payment date, you will be charged for the next 6 months and the boxes will be delivered to you for the 6 month subscription period.
Prepaid annual subscriptions may only be cancelled at the termination of the subscription period. You will receive an email prior to the end of the annual subscription term to confirm that the prepaid annual subscription will be renewed. If we do not receive notice that you wish to cancel 7 days prior to your scheduled payment date, you will be charged for the next 12 months and the boxes will be delivered to you for the 12 month subscription period.
Will my gift subscriptions renew?
Prepaid Gift Subscriptions do not automatically renew, so there is no need to cancel gift subscriptions. Eg. If you purchase a Prepaid 12 month Gift Subscription, you will be charged upfront for the 12 month Gift Subscription and no other charges will occur.
Will you tell me in advance what is coming in my box?
Each Peony Parcel release will contain 5 to 7 trial and full size beauty and lifestyle products from Australian emerging and premium brands. You can expect to find a selection of beauty and lifestyle products such as beauty and bath products, beautifully designed stationery, candles, gourmet treats and more, handpicked from Australian emerging and premium brands. From time to time, we will also feature premium international brands. We don’t want to ruin all the surprises so we won’t be telling you in advance all of the contents of the boxes, sometimes just a sneak peek on our social media pages!
Can you customise my box to suit my needs? eg. allergy, skin, dietary needs
Unfortunately we cannot customise the Peony Parcel subscription boxes for customer skin, dietary, allergy needs at this point in time.
