Once you review the items selected your “trunk” is shipped to you (shipping is free both ways btw). You then have 10 days to try everything on and make returns. There’s no extra cost for Trunk Club’s services, you only pay only for what you keep. But the best part is, it keeps you out of those overcrowded malls!!!
