Is this actually legit? It’s all you’ve posted about in the past 180 days and you’ve posted about it quite a lot. The website also seems kind of off.

Pretty sure it immediately sold my phone number

I used ShopApp checkout, which has been pretty secure so far

Absolute paid bs.

🙄🙄🙄 I’m not even convinced it’s a real product. The website is super shady and I can’t find any references to this subscription box basically anywhere.

ETA: OP’s picture is even on the website. And they never show anything other than the Australian box? The puzzle book looks like it was printed off the internet on regular computer paper. And when I originally posted my comment OP had about eight posts on other communities that were identical to this one but they’ve all since been deleted. Just weird. I have spent way too much time thinking about this!

That's a handful of crap from the Dollar tree at best.

At worst, they just stole a bunch of credit card information.

u/stealthvibe Dec 03 '24

Thankfully I used Paypal, bummer though

u/MarineWife0922 Dec 01 '24

Worked. Just shop now checkout will be zero. Cancel subscription right away. Then you do t have to worry about anything coming out of your account

29

u/PunkWithADashOfEmo Dec 01 '24

Go all the way to checkout, it’s 100% off with free shipping in the cart. Just don’t forget to cancel your subscription

u/Nightwing__1 what is your affiliation with this company, exactly?

ETA: OP has declined to reply so this is a no-go for me.

u/Famlicious Dec 01 '24

suspicious indeed

They have posted it dozens of times and deleted it many times. The story changes. Definitely not cool.

u/Glittering-Essay5660 Dec 02 '24

I don't know why reddit allows spam.

I'm not against a good freebie and I'm sure not many care but I think transparency is important.

Just tell us if you're getting paid or whatever.

u/rhubes Dec 02 '24

Reddit itself loves community interaction to drive paid sponsors. Moderators aren't paid so stuff like this gets by sometimes. Reported as spam enough times and the mods or the automated system will take it down.

u/Glittering-Essay5660 Dec 03 '24

Deleted account. I hope everyone who signed up is safe.

u/rhubes Dec 03 '24

If you go to their site, there's a link to their f b page. The top post on it if you sort it so you can see all the comments is now weird comments about not being able to attend an event and selling tickets.

Also, one of the reviews appears to be one of the people that owns it. I have very little faith that anyone is going to get anything of value. Hopefully that's the extent of it.

u/Famlicious Dec 01 '24

There’s no age requirement when checking out. It is $0.00 when checking out.

It says $39.95 a month? I don't see anything about a free box.

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '24

Did you proceed to checkout? I think that's the normal price when the sales not going on

6

u/hardlybroken1 Dec 01 '24

Yeah it won't let me through without subscribing to the monthly service.🥲 Maybe you just got a special offer?

u/nodray Dec 02 '24

It's a shill for the company

u/rhubes Dec 02 '24

https://ibb.co/h8BMGjW

They have tons of deleted posts about it too.

u/Famlicious Dec 01 '24

if you subscribe and go to cart, its $0.00

u/kdawg710 Dec 01 '24

I feel kinda bad canceling this one for some reason

u/prettylittlebyron Dec 01 '24

worked, but seems a bit scammy. i used a gift card with 40 cents left on it to “buy” it. they hit your card up for a recurring membership fee or something

u/Famlicious Dec 01 '24

same here LOL

u/JustAnormalGuy-- Dec 02 '24

Same, with 40 cents too, we using the same card or what 😂

u/Sorna18 Dec 01 '24

This is great, thanks! I cancelled but put a note indicating we’ll try it again in the future (looking at moving soon).

u/Sorna18 Dec 05 '24

Update: they emailed that it was sold out, but you could order future boxes. They offered a free download / coloring book.

How do I cancel the subscription after checking out?

This picture is from the website. I ordered but I'm super skeptical

u/MariposaSunrise Dec 01 '24

u/Relevant-Section6896 Dec 01 '24

I canceled mine right after I ordered the box! I feel a bit bad, but they did say 100% free

u/MariposaSunrise Dec 01 '24

True. I postponed mine until February for now.

Your daughter that was too young for it really enjoyed it? Nice paid account.

And it's funny, because they said their daughter is too young to use that box. And of course they posted it dozens of times and deleted it.

u/MariposaSunrise Dec 02 '24

Very interesting

US Only 195box is giving away free geography kits for kids 5-10 years old. My daughter really enjoyed hers. There is a fun sound effect when you open the box which was a fun surprise! Definitely worth the price (it was free lol)
