The Fan Empire Subscription Box Review – June 2016

Hello
Do you have any idea how to contact the people in charge of this box?
I subscribed to this service in September of last year and it was the worst mistake of my life. Every month since then I have continually tried to contact the company in regard to missing packages through emails facebook and Instagram and every time I was either ignored or I had to start from step one which was “do you want a replacement? “ I would answer yes then never hear back from them again, and thus it cycle repeats itself.
Over the last 12 month of a years subscription I have received 3 package in total (which as they are dated were shipped in the same month I received them), I have continually asked where thing have been, what happened, for a replacement or refund to no success.
More upsetting is the fact that I still receive emails from the company about packages been over stocked ad you being able to sell off spare creates while I am left here with nothing.
Overall this has been a very stressful very expensive wast of time for me and I am at my wits end, what can you do when the company you brought a product from refuses to uphold the agreement and refuses to contact you?

I noticed you said you couldn’t find the items in the Fan Empire boxes for sale anywhere else online which made it hard to estimate the value of the box, but I found a blog post with an unboxing from a previous month that found some of the items on AliExpress. I looked up the items for the June box and aside from the print and the magnet (unless I just wasn’t using the right keywords while searching), everything is on AliExpress. The Alice bookmark and the Hogwarts Express keychain are only sold in bulk, but the wallet is $9.36 and the Alice necklace is $2.99. I’m not very confident that the value of the box is more than what you pay for the subscription – or if it is, then it’s barely so, and probably not worth it for international subscribers.

You didn’t mention anything about the print at the beginning, unless I missed it. It’s beautiful! I’m not a huge Alice and Wonderland fan but I really like these items and I love Harry Potter. Great box overall.

I think the charms in the keychain represent Harry’s first ride on the Hogwarts Express. The train charm and Platform 9 3/4 is pretty self explanatory, as for the candy, pumpkin, and frog I think that is chocolate frogs, pumpkin pasties, and maybe Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum or just candy in general. The frog could represent Neville’s lost toad and the pumpkins could be the giant pumpkins Hagrid grew in The Prisoner of Azkaban but for simplicity I think it is the first explanation. (I know entirely too much about Harry Potter)
