I can’t say enough good things about Fae Crate. Beyond their absolutely gorgeous special edition books and incredible fantasy, sci-fi, and romance selections, what really stands out is the hear... See more

Would give zero stars if I could. Purchased a special edition set with a slipcase. Set arrived with the slipcase damaged, the top completely sliced off. Fae Crate refused to replace, saying the slipca... See more

Shipping is at least 1-2 months behind. Not a fan of the artists they pick (the majority of it looks like amateur artists, which I have nothing against, but if I'm paying $45+ for a subscription,... See more

I wish I could give zero stars

sorry but I'm wondering what's up with them? So far I've experienced able-ism and gaslighting from them. Beyond that canceled my order but absolutely do not pay me back my money.

First, I fully understand the world is in a crazy situation right now. But that doesn't account for bad communication. Packages and products can be delayed, I totally understand that.

I pre-ordered a product from them back in February. It should have been send out late June/ early July. When that didn't happen I didn't think much of it. Delays can happen. For a while I forgot all about it until the end of September.

I checked my email and there was zero correspondence regarding my order. So I emailed them, just to get an update and a possible refund because this is way beyond the initial waiting time. What I got back what pretty rude. Telling me I should just read their news update emails or check social media.

I wasn't sighed up to their newsletter and their updates are basically a lot of spam talking about their newer products. Forcing you to scroll all the way down to get a tiny bit of information about the thing you ordered. Let alone that I shouldn't be forced to sign up to their social media to get updates. As someone who works for a company that sends out products too I know it's not difficult to just gather the emails of people that pre-ordered a certain product and send them a pointed email with clear communication about their product alone.

I emailed back just requesting a refund because it doesn't look like they're going to do any better or deliver what I bought any time soon. What happened next was a whole Sh!Tshow of boarding abusive message from them costumer service that doesn't respond to my actual questions.

Just wow

I preordered a book back in February. The estimated shipping was late June. I completely forgot about it until now and checked my emails (which I do regularly anyway) to see if I missed an email about tracking info. No emails. So I double checked the website and voila... They don't even have the books. Luckily I haven't ordered anything else, but apparently one of their "monthly" boxes was delayed by 3 months. I reached out to them through emails and they NEVER responded. They're also deleting comments asking about shipping.

Edit: Had to get PayPal involved for a refund because they never responded to anything.

4 months and still not shipped!

4 months I have been waiting on a “monthly subscription box”. They use COVID as an excuse for delays. No company in USA is delayed 4 months! I run a business who deals with companies overseas and we never had this huge of a delay and I don’t know a single company who has! I have 4 orders not still not fulfilled and like others have said, they delete any negative reviews. Which is why they are claiming they have 4 1/2 stars on their website. This is a horrible company with horrible customer service. Go with one of the many other book subscription. We weren’t even impressed with the 2 orders we received (out of a total of 6 orders) and both those were very late too!

If I could give 0 stars

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I bought a couple of boxes from Faecrate and some of my books had fake signatures. Faecrate advertises for AUTHENTIC signatures. When I notified them of this, I was blocked from their social media and my comments were deleted. I requested a replacement for my books and only received one 6 months later. I have yet to receive the others and it has been over a year. They delete any comments that mention the fake bookplates. Do not support this company.

Untrustworthy

I have left reviews and comments on their social media sites. They deleted them due to them being negative reviews. They then block you from being able to access the sites. They constantly lie and participate in shady business practices, the latest being sending items media mail but charging priority shipping. I have ordered one of their specialty boxes and it was met with delays and issues. When I emailed the company they were dismissive or they flat out did not respond.
