Dylan’s Candy Bar Box Chocolates Review – July 2016

40$ for a few bars of melted chocolate? Is this a joke? I can only imagine the indignation and rage that would be unleashed if PSMH delivered something like this, lol.

This box seems like such a scam to me. Each review (I think there are a couple of ladies who review this) indicate melted chocolate, small packages of gummy/hard candies and that the cost to buy those items up front from their online store is significantly cheaper than the cost of the subscription.

Furthermore, I just can’t comprehend how this company is even PROFITING from the subscription. If on average you’re having to replace at least one item (which is being conservative IMO) for every box that goes out, that can’t be good for the bottom line.

There are subscription boxes out there who make sending chocolate or items that can be ruined by heat work in summer months. As a company that does online sales of chocolate year round I would have expected this company to have a handle on it themselves. Honestly, despite the good things I read on here about the company itself, based on their handling of this subscription box alone I wouldn’t be interested in ever ordering from them.

I don’t see the point of this sub. You can just order what you want from the website, it’s not like they have packed their sub with exclusive products. They haven’t really packed it with anything lol, the value is laughable.

I’ve ordered several meal subscription boxes over the years (Blue Apron, Plated, Home Chef, Hello Fresh, etc.) and have never had melting/spoilage issues with them. Those come with fresh veggies, fruits, and raw meats. I live in Georgia too with extreme heat in the summers and yet those boxes were always intact.

They really shouldn’t even bother shipping chocolate this time of year. There’s no way it’s going to hold up. I won’t even put chocolate in my Prime Now orders because I know it will melt and that’s same-day local delivery. I am dying over that lollipop keychain, however. Adorable.

This is a terrible value. Subscribers would expect, at minimum, the value to be equal to the cost of the box (if not more). And the hassle of dealing with melted product makes it not worth the effort at all. In hot months they need a different shipping method or only send things that won’t melt.

I like chocolate and candy but this sub doesn’t really offer anything that unique to justify the price point.

It costs $31.74 including shipping and ice pack to buy these items in their online store right now. The popcorn flavor isn’t available but you can buy 7 oz of a different flavor of popcorn for $9. This sub costs $40 a month.

If they shipped 2nd day and lowered the price, I might be interested in this sub. Honestly, I can’t see this sub lasting more than a year because while the product looks tasty and the packaging is cute, it’s just too expensive to keep receiving melted product. Hopefully someone from Dylan’s Candy Bar reads these comments.

I don’t understand why they started a sub just to have the value be so off for subscribers. It’s not worth the price. You’re not even coming close to breaking even on all of that melted chocolate. If the price decreased or the value increases I would be tempted in the cooler months.
