New Geek Subscription Box: FanMail Box

Got my box today… I have to say that this is one of my new favorite boxes. I am so glad that I took a leap of faith and subscribed to this. If they keep up the boxes like this then I will be a subscriber for life!!!

Got my box today and love it!

I have no willpower. I ended up subscribing to this box for my birthday! Can’t wait for my first FanMail!

I totally agree that they need more geeky boxes/subscriptions. I mean I don’t ALWAYS want to wear a MENS(!!!!) cut shirt!! I mean we are WOMEN!!!!! LET US WEAR A SHIRT FOR WOMEN!!! Maybe it’s just me but geez!!!

FYI – for all credit card users, the charge came under a different name. I called FanMail customer service and they were outstanding! Looking forward to this new subscription for us GEEK GIRLS

I was really excited for this and going to sign up until I realized that their site doesn’t have any encryption or security features on the page where you enter all your information. Call me superstitious but I’m not entering my credit card information on a site without any security features. I’m pretty bummed. I’ve been waiting for a box like this.

Signed up!! 😀

Signed up! 😀

Awesome Sauce!!! This reminds me of another geeky jewelry subscription “fandom of the month” that I’ve been dying to get -Its a uk box I believe.

Okay, I’m in! I may also be the oldest Geekette @ 55 but here’s to keeping young at heart ❤️

I signed up & I’ve NEVER done that without at least one spoiler photo. I really hope this box is awesome! $9 shipping to No Cal. I’m scerd.

This sounds amazing. I also am hesistant without a spoiler though. Id love for this to be reviewed and I would also love stuff from Wheadons shows. He has such great female characters. Im not really into jewelry, but Ill take it if the overall box is great. I love this concept

Drat! I just tried to sign up and got the “Unable to communicate with the payment system” error. 😛

So, that didn’t take long. The hubs said YESSSSSSS! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! I’m so excited to see what I’m going to get. Liz, you should definitely review this box, forgot to mention that before. Thanks for letting us know about this new fabulous subscription! You rock my socks!

Let me tell you about my experiences with customer service so far…

I emailed CS about the error in payment as well as to comment about getting larger shirt sizes. Oh, and to ask a question about a password issue because FanMail is a CrateJoy merchant like some of my other sub boxes.

I received a response in less than an hour and it addressed all my issues. David (yes, they do have at least one male employee!) quickly processed my payment. He told me they’d been having issues today but think they are now resolved.

He told me where to find my CrateJoy boxes (turns out I have five others that go through CrateJoy) and I got that fixed right away.

Most impressively though, he was very open to the idea of getting larger sizes. He is going to check with their t-shirt providers and see if this is possible. He said they were probably too far along in production for this month but maybe next month it could happen. And he assured me that he would get in touch with me as soon as he knew the answer.

All in all we went back and forth about three times. Each time his emails were prompt and on point. So far, I’m impressed.

I’m going month to month to start simply because of the t-shirt issue. If that’s a large part of the value each month then it doesn’t really do me much good. But if the other goodies are impressive enough then I can always swap the shirt! BTW, shipping to New Mexico was 9.00.

I WANT, no *NEED* this box. I was a subscriber to Loot Crate for a short time, but aforementioned above, it always seemed more toward boys. I’m so curious to see what’s in the June box (maybe ONE official spoiler, please? Lol). I just have to convince the hubs that $7.70 in shipping is worth it. He was like ‘go for it’, until I said how much shipping was. BUT, I have ways of convincing him. Cross all of your fingers for me!

Aww man, it is $7.70 in shipping to my house! I guess I will stalk the reviews before deciding to jump into a subscription.

Oh man, I might have to check this one out!

I’ve never subscribed to a box before its first box before. But for THIS – I’m probably in. I haven’t checked out the site yet, but chances are I’m going for it.

SO. Excited! At last!!

(P.S. I hope to see plenty of Buffy/Whedon!! :D)

I’d definitely love to see this reviewed, and maybe even try the first box. ‘Fantasy’, is a genre I absolutely love!

This looks like a very promising box! I’d love to see a few reviews of it in the future, especially since it seems it will feature different things that other geek boxes might not have.

It would be great to get a spoiler before signing up…

Ah! I am so excited to see a box like this out there!!! I have been a geeky gamer girl my whole life and this is just so much fun! It felt like for so long we girls have been ignored or pushed to the side, but now we get to shine a little as nerds, geeks, and lovers of Fandom.

I always am trying to get my soap-box message out there that you can be anything you want to be, you can be a nerdy geeky girl and yet still be girly!!!

I sent you an email too Liz ^_~

I tried to sign up on the website and received the following error:

Error processing checkout: Unable to communicate with the payment system.

I also consider myself a geek, but not a gamer. My boys are gamers and geeks, so I do know some about the gaming world. I am interested to see what this box has in store for women.
