One. Custom-curated programs typically start at 20-50 units. Complex builds (custom packaging, inserts, branded apparel) may be higher. Single kits are available at retail pricing through our shop — no minimum. We're happy to talk through smaller pilots.

Programs are quoted with items, decoration, packaging, and kitting in one transparent per-box number. Shipping is bundled or separately stated depending on the program. No vendor stacking, no surprise kitting surcharges.

Standard pre-configured kits can ship in as little as five business days from artwork approval. Custom programs run about three weeks for assembly, and longer when custom apparel decoration or custom packaging is involved. Rush and expedited options are available outside standard timelines and may carry an additional fee — ask us rather than assuming the answer is no.

Yes — that's most of what we do. We handle decoration in-house: embroidery, screen print, laser etching, and debossing across apparel, drinkware, bags, tech, and hard goods. We can also brand the outer box, inner tissue, gift card, and the full unboxing experience.

Yes. Variable data personalization — a different name, set of initials, or co-brand logo on each box — is supported as a default option on most programs, not a premium add-on.

Yes. Drop-shipping to individual addresses via CSV upload with tracked delivery is standard for distributed teams. Shipping can be bundled into the per-box price, quoted separately, or run on your own carrier account.

TThere are three 2026 holiday deadlines. September 15 is the priority deadline — the widest product selection and the most room for custom decoration. November 1 is the standard deadline, covering all products including custom-decorated programs; this is the date most holiday programs should work towards. December 1 is the rush deadline, for in-stock products only. Exceptions outside these windows can usually be accommodated but may carry an additional fee. The most successful Q4 programs are still scoped in August and September — not because we want the order early, but because the decisions that make a gift good are the ones that get skipped when the calendar is tight.

Yes. Most programs we run started as a 20–50 unit pilot. Define success metrics upfront, run it, evaluate, then scale.

Yes. BirdieBox is a registered ASI (279508), PPAI (799707), and SAGE (238523) supplier. Distributor orders are blind-shipped with no BirdieBox branding on the label, packing slip, or return address. See our Distributors page for terms.
