Kona Kase, BuluBox, RunnerBox…what’s the deal with all of these “boxes”?
If you’ve followed my blog over the past few months, you’ve noticed reviews on several subscription boxes I’ve received via mail. Here, I’d like to point out the pros and cons of the reviewed boxes so you can get a better idea of what’s inside each one and how the various companies differ from each other. Who knows, maybe you’ll find one to subscribe to…monthly mailbox surprises are always a ton of fun!
Please note, these boxes are listed in alphabetical order to make it fair. :0)

Boxes NOT to check out:
Fitbox by PlatinumBox – I ordered a box at the $5 promotion rate for the purpose of this review and never received it. As the next month approached, I called the number provided on their website and no one ever returned my phone call (still haven’t). After several emails, a representative finally emailed me back with this statement:
“We are sorry you did not receive your box, your membership has been canceled!”
That’s IT. No offer to refund my money OR send an additional box because I never received the one I purchased. I strongly urge you NOT buy a box from this company!
Don’t forget about my Zensah Argyle Compression Socks Giveaway! Ends Friday!!
Have you ever been ripped off by a company? What are your overall thoughts on the “box revolution”?
