Aboxalypse is a custom geeky subscription box. My husband loves trying out new geeky subscription boxes, so we wanted to give this one a try, but I wouldn't recommend this one - at least not yet.
We ordered both a $10 and $50 box at the same time, and have had issues getting responses from their customer care on when our other box will ship. Looking at their Facebook page, it seems like we're not the only customers having issues.
To give a little background on how this box works, you are able to pick: the type of themes you want for your box (for example: The Walking Dead, Marvel), and how much you want to spend (anywhere from $10 to $50).
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription Box: Aboxalypse
The Cost: Starts at $10 with $5 shipping (you can pick the amount you want to spend on the box from $10 to $300).
The Products: Products selected based on your theme preferences and box price.
Ships to: US and UK
Marvel Thor Keychain - Value $6
This is a really well-made keychain, and my husband loves Thor, so that's a win. The only downside with really well-made keychain is that it is heavy, and that's not necessarily a good thing for a keychain.
POP Vinyl Well Walker - Value $9
This would be a perfect POP for my husband (we love The Walking Dead and he collects the POP Vinyls), but I believe he already has this one. So it will be swapped or gifted!
Spiderman Fighter Pods (2) - Value $5 total
Here is a closer look at the figures:
Verdict: This box has a value of about $20 - exactly double the $10 cost as promised. Since we had to pay $5 shipping, that takes away a little from the "double the value," but it still seems to be a good value for the box. That being said, I'm still wary about the customer service this subscription provides, and I wish they shipped boxes consistently, so I can't recommend it yet.
