Follow up: I received the replacement box today. I got:

Supercat Catnip Crumples, 40 sheets, $7-8 on Amazon
Petsafe Egg-Cersizer $7
Aussie Naturals Crinkle Pillow ?
Bogo Bowl dry food sample ?
My Little Lion Cat Treat $9.41 on Amazon
Polydactyl popcorn toy ?

The dry food and cat treats are made in the US. I don’t think any of the items are dangerous in this box. I know my cats will like the popcorn toy because they got another Polydactyl toy in MeowBox last week. (I think that’s an Etsy type item, but I’m not sure. )

I only looked up prices on Amazon but my instinct is, this is what the Living Social box *should* have been. I think the value was reasonable and I’m OK with leaving my cats alone with most, if not all, of the items. Although I think only my black cat will be able to figure out the egg-cersizer.

Anyway, I’m satisfied with this resolution. But after all this, I’m probably going to stick with MeowBox, which costs somewhat less.

This is a much better box than the first box. I’m glad that they followed through on shipping a replacement box.

So I got my PetBox today and I’m kind of underwhelmed. I got 2 catnip toys, a dangly toy, and a box of treats. I don’t know if this is normally what they would send out (I guess with their $39.95 monthly package because there were 4 items?) or if they were being cheap because it was through Living Social and I didn’t pay full price. My cats will use everything (I have 4 cats so at least one is guaranteed to like each item) but I just don’t think these things are equivalent to $10 each (I think I paid about half that).

But I am contrasting this with MeowBox (the one from meowbox dot net since there seem to be two), where I got 6 months for $135 and have gotten 4 toys and 2 bags of treats (plus the occasional free food sample) each month so far.

This is not always the treatment I get from sale sites, though. I got 3 months of UrthBox from Gilt City (I think) and the boxes were packed full. I continued my subscription afterwards and got the same quality/quantity as through the Gilt City sub. So I’m happy with UrthBox because they treated discount customers and regular subscribers the same. But I won’t be subscribing to PetBox. Either they’re treating discount customers differently or the value simply isn’t there.

I emailed Living Social to honor their good deal guarantee. Made in China catnip mice and a wire/cardboard toy that can hurt my child does not equate to a premium subscription box. I read reviews on blogs before subscribing to the deal and this is not even close to any of the regular boxes that customers receive.

1. The Honest Kitchen Smittens pure dehydrated Icelandic haddock for cats 3 oz $13.99
2. Cat Dancer toy (literally a piece of wire attached to cardboard) $3.50
3. Bella’s Blissful Hemp Pouch From the Field $6.75
4. Spot Catnip Candy 100% compressed catnip mice $1.00. This is disappointing because it is from China which does not fit in with the image they project of being a premium pet subscription service.
Total: $25.24.

I should add to those that are reading that all my other experiences with vouchers up to this time have been wonderful. I have used vouchers for BarkBox, Cate and Chloe, Kelly Kits, Kiwi Crate, Escape Monthly, Darby Smart, and Fantasy Box. Escape Monthly even replace my whole entire box in June when the calming mist leaked out on my other items. Most of the companies listed above have retain me as a paying customer. This experience with PetBox is not the norm of what I experience with vouchers from Gilt, Living Social, or Groupon. I don’t want anyone to be discouraged from trying vouchers.

Thank you for letting us know. I will do that later today if Living Social hasn’t responded. I much rather have a credit on my account with LS than a second box. I’m annoyed with the made in China catnip mice and the wire toy.

Sneaky Burrito

You got the same box I did. Let me know what Living Social’s response is.

I need to remember to start using eBates. I signed up a few weeks ago but keep forgetting about it.

I’ve been using ebates for as long as I can remember. According to my account, I’ve saved almost $1300 to date. It really does add up. Just takes a while to get in the habit of using it. Glossybox, Total Beauty, and I’m sure other box sites are on there as well.

I will try PetBox for cats. I used the code and it worked so I paid a little over $17. I like that PetBox did not make me enter any credit card information (some of these deals with other companies have made me enter credit card information). I don’t know if I will keep it or not — I already get MeowBox — but it will be fun to try. I have four cats so even if one of them does not like an item, one of the others usually will.

My box is arriving tomorrow. I’ll let you know if I receive the same. That doesn’t match the regular reviews of the box and is disappointing if they are giving Living Social customers a different type of box.

Yes, please let me know. I can believe that the treats (made in Iceland) were worth $6-7 (because I’ve paid that much for special cat treats before). But catnip mice (from China)? Not hardly.

Thanks for letting us know PetBox didn’t make you enter credit card info – that makes the deal even better! πŸ™‚
