Straight answers
How a free book drop actually works
Freebound is transparent about funding, timing, privacy and campaign limits.
Is the book really free?
Yes. Participating sponsors fund the book and delivery, so no purchase is required from the reader.
When will books ship?
A claim reserves a campaign spot. Books ship only after the campaign reaches its full sponsorship goal and enters fulfillment. The current estimate is four to six weeks after full funding.
Do sponsors receive reader information?
No. Freebound does not provide reader names, email addresses, phone numbers or shipping addresses to sponsors unless a reader separately and clearly agrees.
