It would be nice if we were able to give our preferences and you can match it up to our likes and dislikes better. Surprise us with things that we would actually use.

Scam!

Received a bunch of small plastic goody bag toys for kids. Maybe $20 worth. Paid $80 to sign up for a subscription. Such a scam. Not to mention it took 2 weeks to fill my order. Do not waste your money.

What went wrong should be what went right. How about used shoe's, used cup with some kind of red/pinkish residue in it. Open packages with nothing inside, late delivery and in my luxury box i got a deflated tire! Seriously... beauty/ luxury my behind.

Pretty good overall

Pretty good overall. Shipping was slow, but finally got here. It's a fun box. As a reseller I should be able to at least make my money back. Not a winner, but worth it.

For now im going with 2 stars I use mystery boxes on my TT channel and got a flyer saying that if I buy 5 boxes I'll get a 6th for free.. got no confirmation of ill even get the 6 th box as promised abd the promo code I was given didnt work at check out, my order as sat untouched and not shipped for over a week and when I attempted to reach the company through a few different avenues I have not gotten a response back. Not saying its a bad company but so far no response to give it a good rating.

I contacted the company due to delayed shipping. They had gotten their website back up and running so they were backed up. I was only trying to hold them to the actual delivery date as we were going out of town. That did not happen unfortunately but they did try and all communication was very friendly and kept me up to date with tracking info and such. No I didn't win any of the expensive gifts like handbags, gaming, Apple etc. but my husband had a few good items, I did too and some to my daughter and grandkids. They loved the Pipsqueak boxes! Thank you Austin and team for excellent customer service and communication.

Garbage disguised as mystery box

Not only was shipping greatly delayed, as it didn't ship until days after it should have originally been delivered. But I got ZERO reply from them through their Facebook or their texting on their website. But, the box is ridiculously empty. Like, maybe 1/4 of the box filled. And the products are low value and junk. Not a single thing in the box is worth more than a few dollars. And having spent over $60, its screams SCAM!

Garbage

Garbage, absolute garbage. If you're going to try an unclaimed mail mystery box I'd invest in Fundelivered. I've never been disappointed - even though there's stuff I can't use sometimes it's hilarious and not just trash in a box

Absolute junk was shipped

Absolute junk was shipped. Large box with open boxes, dirt on the bottom of box, partially filled (not even half way) and nothing of use. Nowhere near the amount that was paid. Everything was donated to thrift store as completely useless. 100% will never purchase again.

I bought the chance at everything box

I bought the chance at everything box. It took a long time to get here. When I inquired about why it was taking so long customer service did get back to me and did give me a credit on my next box which is a great offer; however, after receiving my box I am not sure i will even use this credit. I was disappointed with the box I received. I felt the products in my box were not even worth what I spent on the box. I knew it was a gamble but not not I would take that gamble again.
