I've received five boxes so far and will be cancelling after the sixth. The items in each one have been OK, but there hasn't been anything that made me say "wow'"! The biggest problem is I don't think any box has ever been worth the price. Each box may have one nicer item, and the rest are things you can probably find at Dollar Tree.
Response from calmbox
Hi Terri, I appreciate you sticking it out this far, and I'm sorry no box quite hit that "wow" — one standout and a lot of filler isn't the ratio we're aiming for. I'd like to make your last box a better one. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll see what I can do. — Sage, the calmbox team

I got the double box now each box is supposed to have 6-8 items which means two boxes should have at least 14 items which mine did not and I got two books and I thought snacks were not included as one of the gifts it was just a little extra this is my first time ordering I did sign up for the six months but right now it’s a ripoff I was highly looking forward to my two boxes now I’m very unhappy just counted everything and I only got 11 items I was expecting at least 14 items !
Response from calmbox
Hi Mary, I'm sorry — being this excited for your double box and then feeling shortchanged is a real letdown, and I don't want your first order to sit that way. A doubled box should have 12 items, so at 11 it sounds like one didn't make it in. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll get the missing item shipped out to you right away. — Sage, the calmbox team

There's usually one or two items in every box I actually use/like. The rest isn't helpful and they often resend the same kinds of items in different flavors, so it gets boring.
Response from calmbox
Hi Nikki, I'm sorry we've missed the mark for you here. We never send the exact same item twice, though we do sometimes revisit a category with a new twist — a different candle in a different scent, say — so I can see how that might start to feel familiar. We're always working to keep the mix varied, and we lean heavily on what subscribers like you tell us about each box and its items to keep adjusting. I'd genuinely love to know what you'd want more of; please email me at help@thecalmbox.com anytime. — Sage, the calmbox team

First box. I don’t know how coasters or an headband/wristband set are supposed to calm me. I expected more remedies. Hopefully the next box is better.
Response from calmbox
Hi Laura, I hear you on wanting more remedy-type items — there's usually a mix of those and the little everyday touches. The coaster is one of the latter: it carries a calming phrase and illustration meant to be a small daily reminder to slow down. That said, if the first box didn't land for you overall, I'd like to make it right. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll see what I can do. — Sage, the calmbox team

Too many duplicative items; too many food items, and must've been a sale of sniffers. Most of products have allergens such as lavender and super smelly fragrances (rose) and some odd masculine smelling body oil. Majority of products trashed. Purchased 3 subs for self and young adult daughters and they don't like the products overall either. Cancelling subs. Started out ok, but decline in products and originality. More effort put into the boxing than the products. Great idea, but needs work.
Response from calmbox
Hi Jennifer, I'm sorry — duplicates, strong allergens, and scents that didn't suit across three subscriptions is a lot to be let down by, and I understand cancelling. Allergen-heavy and repeat items are exactly what we try to avoid. I'd genuinely like to make it right before you go; email me at help@thecalmbox.com. — Sage, the calmbox team

I hate to give anything other than a wonderful review, but I will give MY honest thoughts. I was not pleased, I received 6 items, the sand meditation timer, the cards and the magnet are totally not of interest to me, I am more into things that soothe smell good (even a good calm coffee if there is such), the only things of interest were the caramel wafer, the small candle and the room spray (neither of those I liked the smell of though). I did review the site they came from, the prices, I do not think some of them are worth it either. but I tried at least, I guess everyone is different!
Response from calmbox
Hi Vicki, Thank you for the honest read — it helps to know you lean toward the scented, soothing things over the timers and cards. We can't customize boxes ahead of time, but I'm glad to swap out the items that missed for ones that suit you better. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll take care of it. — Sage, the calmbox team

I really like the box, honestly. But, my first months box should've been a double box and I was disappointed on it. It didn't have as many items as I would expect for "double." This is the second month, I haven't received it yet nor can I see where it is in the shipping process. The third month will likely charge me before I receive the second months box. And the login process is a hassle. I'd really love if we could create accounts so we didn't have to log in through Gmail every time! ❤️ Hopefully this months is good. 😊
Response from calmbox
Hi Kit, Thanks for the love for the box! A couple of real things to fix here: your first box should've been doubled, and a second box you can't track is worth chasing down. One worry I can put to rest, though — you won't be charged for your next box before this one reaches you. Our billing is built around that, so you're never paying ahead for a box you haven't received. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll sort out the double box and find your shipment. (And I hear you on the login — easier sign-in is something we're working on.) — Sage, the calmbox team

However, I’m trying hard to stay positive on this subscription. I email them & they are great at responding. I ordered my 1st box in Oct received in a week & was satisfied with it. My Nov box came in Jan & I wasn’t impressed socks, beanie, poster, fruit snacks (they were good), bar of soap (smells amazing, & a mens facial mask (it was ok). My Dec box didn’t exist. Jan box showed up March 1st by far the best box yet! So we will see what happens with the next box. Hit & miss so far but I pray my next boxes will be as amazing as the last one.
Response from calmbox
Hi Carrie, Thank you for staying positive with us, and I'm really glad the last box was your best yet. The timing you're describing doesn't sound right, though — boxes ship on a set monthly schedule and shouldn't be landing that far off, so I'd like to look at what actually happened on your account and make sure any box you're owed reaches you. Please email me at help@thecalmbox.com and I'll dig in. — Sage, the calmbox team

Some of the items are a hit and some a miss.
Response from calmbox
Hi Wendy, Fair — some hits and some misses isn't quite where we want to land, and I'd love to tip it more toward hits for you. If you tell me what's worked and what hasn't, I can help; email me anytime at help@thecalmbox.com. — Sage, the calmbox team
