Boxing Clever

One new trend that is getting more and more widespread and popular is the subscription box.  Many sites now have this feature where you sign up to receive a box of goodies every week or month.  I've subscribed to Graze for several years and this was one of the first but now you can sign up and receive boxes of just about anything!  We are living in a mail order world and who doesn't love the idea that a box of surprise items is going to land on your mat regularly?  From now on I am going to be featuring reviews of some of these boxes including some one-off options.  Each box will be graded thus:

• Quality - No good me telling you how much I love/loathe something as this is down to personal        taste.    It is more important to rate the items according to their quality
• Value For Money - Is it worth the price and cost of postage?
• Delivery - Choice of courier, cost, time it takes to arrive
• Versatility - Do they cater for allergies, offer gift options, trial box and delivery instructions?
• Green - Is the packaging recyclable?  Does the company have policies regarding this?
• Customer Service - User friendly website, presence on Facebook/Twitter, are the people easy to get hold of?
• The Whole Nine Yards - Little extras like pretty packaging, handwritten note, free gift etc
