When will I be charged for a subscription?
Initial Subscription purchases are charged on the date of purchase.
After your initial Subscription purchase, your order will be automatically renewed and charged on the first of the month at the beginning of your selected Subscription plan. Subscription renewals are billed at approximately 12AM Eastern Standard Time on the billing date.
If you have chosen a 3-, 6-, or 12-month Subscription plan, you will receive an order confirmation on the 1st of the month at approximately 12AM EST for that month’s product. If that order is not your expected bill date, the order amount will be $0 and you will not be charged.
For example, if you select a 3-month subscription plan on January 1, your next automatic payment will occur on April 1 for the cost of the Subscription with your April order. Orders in February and March will be $0.
You can always review your next upcoming billing date on your Subscription Management page in your Customer Account.
When will I receive my subscription order each month?
All Subscription products are delivered monthly, regardless of selected Subscription plan.
If you have chosen a 3-, 6-, or 12-month Subscription plan, you will receive an order and shipping confirmation for that month’s product, each month. If that order is not your expected bill date, the order amount will be $0 and you will not be charged.
Estimated ship dates can be found on the Subscription product page.
New and existing Subscribers will receive an email when your order has shipped.
If your order contains a product not a part of the subscription, your items may be shipped separately.
What countries do Subscription products ship to?
Subscription products ship within the U.S. and internationally. Some limitations apply.
When will my Subscription item arrive after it’s been shipped?
Please allow approximately 5-7 business days for your order to deliver.
Once an order leaves our warehouse, carrier shipping delays may occur due to factors outside our control. We, unfortunately, can’t control how quickly an order arrives once it has left our warehouse. Contacting the carrier is the best way to get more insight into your package’s location and estimated delivery date.
When will I get tracking information?
You’ll receive tracking info as soon as your package is processed for shipment, via the email you placed your order with or the active customer email in My Account.
Make sure to check all inboxes, including your spam folder, if you can’t find your shipping confirmation. Please note it can sometimes take up to 3 days for your tracking link to update.
How will I get notified when my order ships every month?
You will receive an email once your order ships.
How can I manage my Subscription orders?
You can view and manage all current and past Subscription orders in Customer Accounts. Click on the Subscriptions link to view your subscription details.
Can I change my Subscription to another Billing Cycle plan?
Your Subscription plan’s Billing Cycle can be modified at any time in your Customer Account.
If your Subscription plan is changed mid-term, your new plan selection will go into effect and your method of payment will be automatically charged on the 1st of the month after the last day of your current Subscription plan.
For example, If you choose a 3-month subscription plan on January 1 and update your plan to a 6-month plan in February (mid-term), you will be charged the Semi-Annual rate every 6 months beginning April 1, after your 3-month plan has ended.
If you need to cancel your pending term change, please reach out to Customer Service or cancel the term change in your account.
How can I change my shipping address or update my payment information?
You can update payment and address information that does not require a country change within your Customer Account on the Subscriptions page. If your change in address requires an update to your Shipping country, please reach out to Customer Service to assist.
Shipping and payment information updated after the billing cycle begins won’t take effect until your next billing date. For any changes needed to be made to your shipping information before then, please reach out to customer service. If you're unsure if this applies to your specific order, please contact Customer Service.
Please be advised that our Customer Service team is unable to update your payment method directly due to security reasons.
How can I cancel my subscription order?
You can cancel your membership anytime by logging into your Interscope.com account and navigating to your Customer Account page. Go to the Subscription tab and click cancel. Sign into your account HERE to get started.
Monthly subscriptions will cancel at the end of the month.
Cancellations made to any 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscription plans after the start of the billing cycle will not be applied until your next billing date. Cancellations must be submitted before 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time the day before the expected renewal date.
All subscription renewals are billed at approximately 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time on the last day of every month.
For example:
- For monthly subscription plans, if the billing date is January 1st and you cancel your Subscription on January 5th, your cancellation will go into effect January 31st.
- For Quarterly (3-months) subscription plans, if the billing date is January 1st and you cancel your Subscription on January 5th, your cancellation will go into effect on April 1st.
- For Semi-Annual (6-months) subscription plans, if the billing date is January 1st and you cancel your Subscription on January 5th, your cancellation will go into effect on July 1st.
- For Yearly (12-months) subscription plans, if the billing date is January 1st and you cancel your Subscription on January 5th, your cancellation will go into effect on Jan 1st of the following year.
I only want this month’s vinyl, what do I do?
We recommend a monthly subscription if you only want this month’s vinyl. If you do not wish to continue your subscription after 1 month, then cancel before your membership renews at approximately 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time on the last day of the month (see How can I cancel my subscription order? Above for reference). You will receive that month’s vinyl even if you cancel before your vinyl ships. Before you cancel, make sure to check out what’s upcoming on the IVC page HERE.
I signed up and paid for a subscription but cancelled before my vinyl shipped. Will I still receive my vinyl?
Yes, you will receive your vinyl even if you cancel before it ships. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your subscription term (see How can I cancel my subscription order? above for reference). If you signed up for a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month subscription, then you will receive the same amount of vinyl as months you have signed up for. For example, if you sign up for a 6-month subscription and cancel after signing up, then you will receive 6 vinyl, 1 each month, until the end of your subscription term.
I’m having trouble checking out and/or my order keeps getting refunded, what do I do?
To successfully check out with an IVC release, you need a membership product (a monthly, 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, or international membership) and the IVC monthly release in your cart (see screenshot below for reference). If you attempt to check out with only one of these, then your order will be automatically cancelled and refunded. IVC releases are exclusive to members, so you are unable to purchase any IVC release (including releases found in the Reserves Store) without purchasing a membership or being an existing member.
Can I change my subscription order?
Subscription orders cannot be changed or amended.
Can I return, exchange, or refund my subscription item(s)?
Subscription products cannot be exchanged or refunded.
How do discounts and special offers work with Subscriptions?
Subscription products are excluded from discounts and special offers unless specified on the product page.
Can I gift a subscription?
Gifting subscriptions is currently unavailable. However, you can always create a new account or change the shipping address in your account if you want the product to be shipped to an address that’s different from your billing address. Go to My Account / Subscriptions / Manage to adjust your shipping location.
To note - shipping addresses must be updated prior to the first of each month in order for that shipping address to apply to that month’s order. For assistance, please reach out to customer service.
Gifting subscriptions cannot be sent outside of the original shipping country.
Will I be notified before I am billed for my Subscription plan?
Yes, new and existing subscribers will receive an email notification 7-days prior to being billed on your Subscription plan renewal date. If you purchase a subscription within 7 days of the expected renewal, please refer to your Welcome email for upcoming transaction details.
I got an e-mail saying there was a failed billing attempt on my credit card. What should I do?
At the start of each new Billing Cycle, we’ll bill the credit card that you used to make your initial Subscription purchase or the active payment method on file in your account. If your payment fails, you’ll receive an email notifying you of the payment failure with a request to update your payment information, if necessary. We will contact you a total of 2 additional times to update your method of payment before your Subscription is canceled.
Payment method updates can be made directly in your account.
If you have any questions or require assistance updating your payment method, reach out to customer service.
Please be advised that our customer service team is unable to update your payment method directly due to security reasons.
When and how will I find out what the next vinyl in the Subscription will be?
You will receive a notification once the new vinyl in your Subscription has shipped. However, you’re able to check the store at the beginning of each month for a sneak peak of what’s in store or sign up to the Interscope Vinyl Collective mailing list to be the first to know!
What if I’m notified that my product is swapped out for another one?
In the unlikely scenario that you receive notice that the original product for that month is no longer available, you will be offered the option to receive a new product or a refund for that month’s subscription.
You will have seven (7) business days to reach out to our customer service team with your response on your preferred choice. If we do not hear from you within that time frame, you will automatically receive the updated product.
