Subscription and Plan Management

Quick Overview

Boxit4me offers free and premium subscription plans matched to shipping frequency. The free plan suits occasional buyers wanting a basic shop-and-ship flow, while premium suits frequent shoppers needing consolidation, faster handling and more services. The page explains how to upgrade or downgrade, billing cycles, and what invoices include.

Free vs premium: feature comparison

Use this checklist to decide which plan fits your workflow.

Free plan is best when

• You Ship occasionally and want a basic shop-and-ship flow
• You Prefer economy-oriented shipping decisions over add-on services
• You Don’t need frequent consolidation, extra handling, or priority workflows

Premium plan is best when

• You Ship frequently and want more flexibility across shipments
• You Use consolidation often and want more control over how packages are prepared
• You Want smoother workflows for multi-store shopping and sale seasons
• You Prefer faster handling and higher predictability on time-sensitive orders

If your priority is lowering cost on multi-package baskets, pair your plan decision with package consolidation and estimate early with the shipping calculator.

How to upgrade or downgrade

Plan changes are usually straightforward, but timing matters if you have packages in progress.

Upgrade

• Open your account settings and locate Subscription/Plan
• Select the premium plan and complete payment
• Confirm the plan status changes before creating your next shipment

Use upgrade when:

• You have multiple packages arriving and want to consolidate
• You are entering a high-volume period (sale season, multi-store buying)
• You need access to plan-specific services before dispatch

Downgrade

• Open Subscription/Plan in account settings
• Select downgrade to the free plan (or lower tier)
• Confirm when the downgrade takes effect (immediately vs end of cycle)

Before downgrading:

• Finish any shipments that depend on premium-only services
• Avoid changing plans mid-consolidation if you still need repacking or handling options
• Export/save invoices if you require them for accounting

Billing cycle and invoices

Subscription billing is typically applied on a recurring cycle (monthly or yearly depending on your plan). The cycle determines:

• When your plan renews
• When you are charged
• When invoice documents are generated

What your invoice usually includes

• Plan name / tier
• Billing period covered
• Charge amount and currency
• Payment status and invoice number

For shipment-level charges (separate from subscription), review cost drivers like billed weight and service level in billing and payments.

Cancelation policy

Cancelation rules depend on when you cancel relative to your renewal date and whether your plan includes non-refundable periods.

Typical cancelation outcomes

• Cancelation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle
• You keep plan access until the cycle ends
• You are not charged for the next renewal (if canceled before renewal)

Before you cancel

• Download invoices you need for records
• Complete any time-sensitive shipments first
• If you rely on consolidation, finish pending multi-package batches before plan changes

If you are canceling due to a one-time shipping need, consider pausing shipments after dispatch and using the shipping calculator for future estimates without changing your plan.
