Robb Vices Subscription Box Review + Coupon – August 2017

Can anyone who has the sunglasses tell me the measurement of the lens from top to bottom? I’m trying to figure out if they will be too big for my face.

Still no tracking info or shipping notification. I will be reaching out to C.S. today.
I hate to hound them, but they leave me little choice. This is ridiculous!

Robb Vices does not ship to Alabama, but your reviews never list that. Can you please start adding AL to ND/UT? I get bummed every time I go to their site thinking it’s changed.

Robb Vices was started as a high end box for those who subscribe to and enjoy the Robb Report – which is geared masculine. Think of PSMH and FFF as the Vogue/Womens Health/InStyle crowd – and Robb Vices as the Food & Wine/Cigar Aficionado/Car & Driver/Travel + Leisure crowd.

If you Google the CEO Daniel Curtis (whose father co-owns Robb Report Media) you will find an interview with him on Cheddar TV and get a firsthand idea of what drives the curation of this subscription.

Hope this helps some who are wondering if this subscription is for them – or when deciding to give as a gift. Cheers!

I don’t think women are the target demographic for this box.. despite what they advertise (hello it’s a subscription box, u think they’re going to tell women it’s not geared towards them??). The majority of the hero items are alcohol or food related. The best box they had was the one that included speakers. That or the one that had fitness related items women’s liked, but that is not the norm for them. I just think women will be disappointed in the long run with this box.p, especially for $90 a pop.. plus shipping? Personally tacking on shipping to a $90 box comes across as tacky to me. Its obvious that women are the majority who subscribe to sub boxes, so I think RV will have to either start chartering more towards women if they want to grow their subscribers, or make a box for women and a box for men.

I still do not have any shipment or tracking information for the (2) August boxes I ordered using the Gilt coupon. I checked FedEx site and nothing is listed there either. I’m really bummed.

Glasses with nosepads leave marks on my face. So their laser etched logo would be branded onto my face if I wear them for a long time?? Just no…

Sending sunscreen and sunglasses in September is a slap in the face. They claimed this box would be great for Labor Day… which is impossible when it arrives post Labor Day and improbable with the contents.
Customer service responded quickly, but with their hands tied behind their back. This does not befit the brand they represent and makes me wish I never learned about it.

I’m surprised the hero item for this August box is something that has to do with style because everyone has their own. I know what I’m trying to say and I’m not sure I said it correctly. I am one who got the deal on Gilt for one box plus a past one too. For some reason I waited and put my order in for the Sept box instead… I would of been heartbroken with this box but my hubby would of loved it. This box is more manly for the most part anyway, or from my point of view. I did email CS to ask what box would be my extra box because some were saying it was gonna me the March box and that if it was possible to get a different one because hot is hot is not our thing and that I had recieved Dec 2016 and Jan 2017 already. They replied saying that they mix the box up and that it’s a mystery and can’t be picked.Oh and that I won’t get my extra box for 3 to 4 months after I put in my order. That would be funny getting it in Jan because I only am getting Sept. Anyway who know’s. Hey if I don’t care for either for my boxes that are coming and someone would like to switch one for another… Lol it could be awhile…

Robb Vices has handled the August box delay horribly! Several customers have not even recieved shipping notices, and when contacting customer service, all they say is it will ship soon and you’ll be thrilled with the contents of the box, even though it’s no longer a surprise for anyone who hasn’t received it! Then, when I posted on Instagram to get some answers on what the hold up was and how they have been so vague to customers and lied about when the box would ship they deleted my comment instead of replying! I understand there are things that the company cannot control like the hold up in customs, however, there is a better way to handle the issue! Do not lie to your customers that the boxes will be delivered for Labor Day, and now it’s a week into September and still no shipment? There is also rumors that they didn’t receive enough inventory to fill the orders with the first hold up in customs and now they are waiting for more sunglasses to send out. Instead of being honest with customers and offering the option to select a previous month box, they just keep telling customers to be patient. For pre-paying hundreds of dollars for a 3 month subscription I expected better service.

The sunscreen has goats milk in it!

I just subscribed for a month as a birthday gift to myself, because the past boxes have all been so appealing to me… August will be the one I get, and I’m so disappointed that this was the one I’ll end up with. The glasses don’t suit me in the slightest, and my husband only buys $20 sunnies because he destroys them. Oh, and I don’t eat meat so BBQ sauce isn’t high on my list. Of all the RV boxes I saw, this seems the most masculine to me so it was an expensive failure of a birthday gift on my part… and was delayed so came late anyway! I’m hoping I can sell or trade the glasses because otherwise I have $90 sunscreen!

I recommended this subscription to a friend and they still haven’t received tracking information or any clue when their turn will be. Their frustration is understandable. This box has so much to offer that I just wish that they would send it.

I’m thrilled! 🤗 The glasses are beautifully crafted. They look good in me and the fiancée. I feel like they could be easily sold on eBay make up for the RV of the box if they don’t suit you.

The mustards are going to be so much fun to try out! It’s still hot in Southern CA so I can grill and taste test. Or I can use them as marinades for cooking or as dipping sauces or garnishes.

I hope everyone likes the box and if not Happy swapping or happy selling on eBay ☺️

I lusted after this sub for over a year before finally subscribing in April. I lucked out on the speaker and headphones that moth, but every one since has been a bust for me. Unfortunately these glasses don’t flatter my face and I wear RX sunglasses any way. Hoping RV has better months ahead or I may just save my money each month or participate in the flash sales and mystery boxes other subs release. Anyone feeling these glasses? I’m happy to consider swapping in your favor.

Liz,

If I sign up for the month-to-month option will this be my first box?

Thank You!

Well, I’m bummed I got the box. Oh well. Hopefully next month is better!

So neat to see Lillie’s featured in the box! I used to live a block from the restaurant before moving away from Chicago. The owner is a great guy and their food is amazing. Fun glimpse of home!

I’ve been really considering signing up for this subscription, especially this month with the coupon. However, I’m really glad I saved my money instead. The sunglasses look cute you, Liz, but they would not suit me at all. Also, I know you should wear sunnies all year long, especially while driving, but they seem like such a lame item thIs late into the summer. I would be disappointed to have spent $80 on this.

Lots of subscribers seem pleased with this box, though, so I think I’m probably just not the target demographic.

I shouldn’t have read this before eating dinner. Now I want grilled shrimp, chicken, pulled pork and Rueben sandwiches!

Liz! Those sunnies look absolutely fabulous on you! P.s. Your hair looks fab as well! Wish my end of day hair looked like that!

Hhhmm… So glad I’m not getting this box. I don’t really care for anything in it at all.

I need this box in my life

I still haven’t received my shipping notification for august. 😢

Certainly a great subscription in general but the glasses for this month account for 90% of this months total value. The glasses are nice but it really has to suit an individual’s preference and style. Not really a one size fits all item.
