Frequently Asked Questions:

Frequently Asked Empathy Box Shipping & Refunds Bulk & Custom Orders
What is The Empathy Box©, and how does it work?

The Empathy Box© is a card-based tool for having and facilitating group conversations that build trust and connection. Its structure, rules and format were designed to create a safe space for sharing, listening and responding with empathy as a group.

How many people can I use the Box with?

Version 2.5 of The Empathy Box© comes with 10 sets of Response Cards, which means that you can facilitate a session for up to 9 people (excluding yourself).

What's new in Version 2.5?

In Empathy Box© Version 2.5, we've improved the clarity, quality & value of knowledge in the Box, making it more straightforward to host your first session. Bonus: We also added a new Welcome Card and filmed a high-quality Introduction Video for new users!

What countries do you ship to?

The Empathy Box© ships to almost every country globally. The one exception, it seems, is Isreal – find out more in the "Shipping & Refunds" tab!

Does the price include shipping & taxes?

The price includes standard global shipping for free. However, as of 1st Dec 2020, customers will be responsible for their respective country's duty, tax & handling fees.

What does this mean? The price that you pay on our website, for any item, covers international shipping by default. However, due to the varying tax laws by country and percentage (VAT, GST, etc), we are unable to include taxes in our prices. So, if your country's customs require that you pay fees (for duty, tax or handling), you will be responsible for paying them.

Wondering about your country's fees? You can use this table on Wikipedia (VAT/GST/Sales Tax) as a reference!

How long will it take for my Box to arrive?

We work closely with FedEx to ensure the Empathy Box© arrives safely at your doorstep. Depending on where you are in the world, it can take between 2–15 working days.

Do I need to be trained to use The Empathy Box©?

No, you do not need to be trained to use The Empathy Box©! It was designed to be as simple and straightforward to use as possible, with lots of guidance (User Manual, step-by-step instructions, etc). However, if you do not have experience with facilitation, you might find all the different components a bit overwhelming at first... but take it from us, it gets easier with practice :)

Why is there a limited number of Empathy Boxes for each version?

Every version of the Empathy Box© is rigorously iterated and locally produced in Malaysia. We are a small team that's passionate about providing the highest quality of knowledge and care, so each Box is made and handpacked with love.

When is the next version (Version 3.0) coming out?

Honestly? We have no idea! We love researching, testing and collecting your feedback... so when we've done enough to warrant a new iteration, we'll let you know ;)

When and where do you recommend using the Empathy Box©?

Great question! We find it's helpful to think of The Empathy Box© as a group ritual of sorts. It helps to get everyone in the right headspace, so take your time to set up the cards and make sure you have at least an hour of uninterrupted time. If you see the need for emotional connection in a group, it's a good time for the Box!

Do I need to be certified, either by Tribeless or other professional bodies, to use the Empathy Box©?

You do not need to be certified for your own personal use with family, friends or colleagues.

Can people from different backgrounds (social, ethnic, economic, geographic) use the Empathy Box©?

The Empathy Box© is designed to be culturally agnostic across all backgrounds, as long as the participants can speak and understand English.
