Return, Refund, and Exchange Complaints
History Unboxed's Return Policy says it accepts returns of unused items in new, original packaging. It does not pay return shipping. It says returns must be mailed within 30 days of original receipt by tracking number, and once the return is received, History Unboxed can issue a refund or exchange. It suggests emailing the return tracking number to hello@historyunboxed.com.

Ask customer service to confirm whether the return was received, whether a refund or exchange is being processed, and what payment method or shipment will be used.
Missing Packages and Delivery Complaints
History Unboxed's Return Policy includes a missing package section. It says once UPS marks a package delivered with proof of delivery, responsibility transfers to the recipient, and the company is not liable for stolen packages after confirmed delivery. It tells customers with a delivered-but-not-received package to check the delivery location, ask household members or neighbors, review proof-of-delivery details, and file a claim directly with UPS.
Use this table:
| Delivery issue |
What to include |
| Package marked delivered but missing |

| Carrier claim filed |
Claim number and date |
Ask History Unboxed whether it can help document the shipment, but use the carrier claim process when the carrier has marked the package delivered.
Subscription, Box, and Digital Product Complaints
History Unboxed sells subscriptions, single boxes, curriculum bundles, digital magazines, lesson plans, books, and accessories. A complaint should identify the exact product because a physical box issue is handled differently from digital access or a curriculum alignment question.
Use this table:
| Product issue |
Evidence |
| Subscription box question |
Subscription name and account email |
| Single box issue |
Order number and product name |
| Curriculum bundle issue |
Bundle name and order number |

| Age-level mismatch |

Ask customer service whether the issue is order fulfillment, product access, subscription settings, product selection, or curriculum fit.
International Shipping and Customs Complaints
History Unboxed's FAQ says international shipping options are available to Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, and customers outside listed countries should contact the company so it can verify shipping options. It says an additional $30 per month shipping fee applies to international orders, and destination-country fees are the customer's responsibility to research and pay. It says History Unboxed cannot pay customs fees or COD requests.

History Unboxed supports charter schools, ClassWallet, scholarships, wholesale purchase, and group or multi-learner orders. Its FAQ says customers ordering with purchase orders should contact hello@historyunboxed.com to receive discounts for additional students. Privacy requests can also be sent to hello@historyunboxed.com, and the privacy policy says customers can request removal of data and opt out of marketing communications.
