How your bill goes away

Three steps. You keep $612.

A BlacBox held in two hands
Three

Stop paying monthly

Each friend covers a month. Twelve and it's $48 a year, for good.

You never have to refer anybody — here's that promise in full

Let's be clear, because plenty of programs aren't. Your membership never depends on bringing people in. Pay every month for ten years and never send us a soul — nothing changes. Referring is a discount you can earn. It isn't rent.

And you don't lose ground. Miss a month, pay it yourself, pick back up whenever. Your count never resets. Three friends is three friends whether it took you a week or a year.

One straight-up thing, said now instead of buried later: your months live with your membership. Cancel and they go with it — you can't bank seven months, walk away, and come back to collect. Need a break? Pause instead. Pausing holds every month you earned.

When exactly does a free month land?

The second their payment clears. Not in 60 days. That day. Refer three people in week one and you're covered into the new year — that same week.

Your account shows one line: the date you're paid through, and how many friends are left to twelve. We'll email you when a friend clears and again before anything's due. Never the day of, never after.

What happens after twelve friends?

The referral requirement retires for good — $48 a year from then on, and the boxes keep coming every month.

Keep going anyway and you're a Circulation Legend: every friend after that is a $25 credit in the Mall, plus a quarterly drop from one of our brands. You did the hardest work this project has. We're not going to stop paying you for it.

How can you afford to do this?

Most companies hand a platform a fortune to run ads at you. We don't run ads and we don't track anybody — so that money has to go somewhere.

We'd rather it went to you, and stayed in our community.

You don't have to be a salesman

Nobody wants to pitch their friends. Three ways out of it.

Enough to know if it's yours.

Why some full size and some small?

Because a sachet of detergent is a joke — nobody switches detergent off one load. And a full jar of body butter every month means by March you've got four of them and you're cancelling.

We size it to how fast you actually use it. If it runs out in a month, you get the whole thing. If it lasts a season, you get enough to decide.

What if I love a brand that rotates out?

They're still in the Trill Mall, and most of them ship it to you themselves.

We don't want you to sample. We want you to switch. That only counts if you go back for the full size on your own.

The Trill Mall

Every brand on our shelf is Black-owned.

Eight come to your door each month. The rest live here, and most ship straight from the brand that made them.

See the whole shelf 233 products, 8 categories.
What is the difference between "ships from the brand" and "pre-order"?

Ships from the brand means it is connected through Shopify Collective — their stock, their packing, their tracking. When they run low it disappears from this page the same day, so we can't sell you something that isn't there.

Pre-order means the brand isn't on Shopify yet. You buy it, we buy it from them, it ships to you. Slower, and we tell you how slow before you pay.

Do members get a discount in the Mall?

10% off the whole shelf for Household members and up, and free shipping over $40.

The box is the introduction. The Mall is where you actually switch.

Why we do this

Two trillion a year. Almost none of it comes back to our community.

You already decided what goes in your cart. This just points your Trillion back into your pockets, and back into the Black community.

It isn't charity and it isn't a movement you have to join. It's soap. It's toothpaste. Same shelf you were already buying from.

The longer version, if you want it

We earn it, we spend it, and we have almost no say in where it ends up. That's the part that got me — not how much we make, but how little control we have over where it goes after we make it.

I run a financial planning practice. I spend my days talking with people about their money, and I kept running into the same thing: you can budget right, you can do everything you're supposed to do, and still hand every dollar you've got to companies that were never going to hire you, stock your corner store, or sponsor your kid's team.

So this is the same shelf, pointed somewhere you actually chose.

The Pay It Forward Project

Charity patches a hole. A purchase order builds something.

Give somebody $500 and they have $500. Order $500 of product and they have a customer — and a receipt they can take to a bank.

A quarter of every Pay It Forward box becomes a purchase order. Right now that's Jerome Clark at In Good Conscience, Harlem.
