Frequently asked questions

Crate Club is a community of like-minded gear-enthusiasts, military supporters and emergency preppers, guided and curated by a hand-picked team of professionals.

Every box is different and can include a range of different items like tactical vests, multitools, self-defense gear, wilderness survival tools, camping equipment, medical supplies, EDC equipment, and several custom Crate Club items not found anywhere else.

Once you’ve made your purchase, your gear is reserved and put aside. We do not offer refunds or accept returns due to the fact we have to reserve a large amount of gear for our members. We do this to be as accurate as possible with our projections in order to ensure that everyone gets their crates in a timely manner each shipment cycle.

You can cancel your membership anytime you like, but please note that canceling a membership will not initiate a refund. You will still receive the crate(s) you paid for.  Any membership canceled after the renewal date is non-refundable.

Re-bill dates are:

• March 1st
• June 1st
• September 1st
• December 1st

If you cancel your QUARTERLY Membership before receiving your first crate, you will still receive the crate you paid for but you will no longer be charged for renewal after that.

If you cancel your ANNUAL Membership before receiving your first crate, you will still receive the 4 crates you paid for or any remaining crates due but you will no longer be charged for a renewal after the initial term ends.

Issues with a Crate: If you believe there is an issue with any of the gear in your shipment, please reach out to our customer service team at support@crateclub.us or chat with us online and we’ll, of course, help resolve the issue.

You can change your shipping address any time prior to the next shipment processing by logging into your account to make changes. You must reach out within 45 days of a missing box to be eligible for a potential replacement. If you feel your box is missing please contact support@crateclub.com

We currently only ship internationally to all APO, FPO, and DPO addresses in support of our military members serving overseas.

If we come across some have-to-have gear that does need sizing, we will reach out to you by email to obtain your preferred sizing for that specific gear.

Lieutenant, Captain and Major level crates ship monthly. With shipping most often occurring mid month.
General Crate is a quarterly crate and fulfillment months are January, April, July and October.

We work hard to find gear made in the USA. However, it isn’t always possible for us to procure the amount of gear and quality we love, or timeliness of inventory delivery this way. Our main focus is to get you the best gear we can find. We, of course, prefer to work with US-owned companies as our first choice!

We currently accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
