When you get a second sub, do you change up the profile? I got a second sub, did my profile likely the same as or similar to my first, and my second December box has shipped. It is literally exactly the same as my first one!
In the future I’ll probably do one sub with a curated box and one without, but in case I don’t want either one to be the curated box, will I always get two of the same box unless my profiles vary enough?
Thanks!

I think those profiles on sub boxes are overrated as a product predictor. I think they use our profiles very, very loosely, so if you are subbed to 2 boxes per month from the same company, you have a strong likelihood of getting identical boxes. With BB, choosing one curated box and one surprise box seems like a smart move and will ensure you get different stuff. Good luck! 🙂

Thanks for answering! I planned on using the second sub to avoid having to choose between curated and surprise boxes (or I could get two curated boxes if it’s really that good). I’ll stick to that plan 🙂
