Ok, so try to follow this; I ordered a Baribox at the end of October, for the November box and didn’t get it until the other day. While waiting for that box, I got charged for the December box. Needless to say I wasn’t pleased, but decided to just let it be. Fast forward to well into December and still no boxes until one day the tracking number (for which box I don’t even remember) said it was sent back to sender. At this point I was like enough already, what is going on and where are my boxes? I emailed Baribox, there were several email exchanges and was reassured both boxes were on the way. I ended up receiving the December box first and then the November followed a few days later.
I am going to do both reviews at once. You’ll see why when you compare both boxes.
BARiBOX is a paper and crafting subscription service offering the best in new products from various paper and crafting companies.
Cost: $12.99 - Free shipping in US, $3.50 to Canada
November's Box: 2 stamps, extra fine glitter set, green pigment ink, red glitter glue, 1 mini punch, string, tags and 2 blank cards w/ 1 envelope.
This is a pretty good box, it has enough materials to make decorative holiday cards and gift labels, but it's a low value box. I could easily get these supplies at the Dollar Store for less than $12.99.
December's Box: includes a reindeer Snag'em Stamp, a sheet of word stickers, Remarks Fall stickers, sticky notes and a thin roll of washi tape.
Dec. Box
Uh, this can't be everything?!
I'm really hoping this was a mistake and somehow some items were accidentally left out, because this is pitiful. This can not be worth more than $2 or 3 - tops!
I know I was ripped off! I've subscribed to this box once before and was satisfied, but between the horrible shipping mess and these sad boxes, I will never subscribe again and I wouldn't recommend you do either. Go to the Dollar Store or any other craft store and you'll get a lot more for your money. I would love to know if any of you have subscribed to Baribox and what you thought of your boxes, so please let me know.
