Breo Box Subscription Review + Coupon – Fall 2017

Has anyone else had a problem with being charged twice?

I signed up at the end of November and was charged then with the expectation that my first box would be the winter one. Now, though, I’ve been charged again for the winter box. No response yet from customer service. I hope I don’t have to dispute the charge.

I’m glad I read the comments. I was going to give the scale as a gift but I just opened to test and it does not work properly. I sent them a message so we will see. I hope the power bank works because I plan on using it as a stocking stuffer. I don’t see myself using the infuser. I was hesitant to give it to my teenager but I found it is only $7 on Amazon so if he loses it I won’t be upset. I really like the candle lighter. I think the candle is a little masculine but I like the scent. I have always wanted to try the amazon echo, but I will give it to my husband for Christmas so he thinks it’s his 😂

I have been stalking breobox and this was my first one. I love the battery pack, tesla x, and echo dot and have been using all quite a bit. The rustico stuff is nice but not something I would really use but will make a great gift. The candle is gorgeous and in my candle closet for a special night or hostess gift. I really wish they did not include the scale and flask. They are cheap, I have seen them at Walmart, both are on Amazon for $14-$19. I associate breobox with quality, interesting, surprise useful items. Rather than go with cheap for quantity, one item worth $30 would have been better. A leather echo dot cover could have been super cool! or a credit to order a leather phone case from a site. My scale did not work but breo kindly replaced it, which I do appreciate.

I hadn’t opened the individual items in my box because I was thinking about gifting a few of them but after seeing these comments I had to check the items to make sure they work. Sure enough the lighter and scale are not working. It’s a good thing I came across these comments and checked. Now, I’ve messaged Breo. Hopefully they will help me get these items replaced I’m so disappointed- this was my first box 🙁

I’m going to maximize my box by writing in the journal by candlelight. Then, I’ll weigh how much I’ve written before setting it on fire with my Tesla lighter. I’ll videotape the mini bonfire with my phone that I never have to worry if it’s fully charged or not because of the battery pack. I’ll invite everyone in the house to come enjoy the tiny inferno via the echo dot.

This box is perfection! See!

My scale does not work at all. At first, it wouldn’t zero out or level at all. Now it just won’t turn on at all. Other than that, I’m pretty happy with this box. I love the box itself and the contents are all useful or giftable. I love the lighter. The candle smells wonderful and my son is going to love it. I will definitely use the dot. The leather set is probably going to be gifted at Christmas.

You said the candle is 14oz but the picture says 8.5 which makes it the $30 version not $40.

I love how luxe the candle is, but the scent is like heavy men’s cologne. :-/ I know it’s gotta be hard to do a unisex box though.

I was a wee bit disappointed with this box, my first, after seeing the summer box. They’re nice, don’t mind me, but many items aren’t a universal fit.

I have several bank chargers and am oh so disappointed in this one. It seems like a company had oodles of outdated ones lying around and gave Breo a great deal on them. While you can add your own cable, thank goodness, the original cables that came with it don’t work with the majority of newer/up and coming cell phones. Lightning adaptor? USB-C adaptor (the new Samsungs are the only ones that use that one so I won’t ding them for that. I gather the newer Apples still use Lightning.)

Other than the lighter and the Echo, I’m tempted to swap or sell everything else. I paid WAY ahead of time. Next time, I’ll wait until I see what’s in it.

🙁

This box is awesome. On a side note, is anybody finding that this site is now crashing constantly when viewed on an iPad?

Had to bite on this box. I can use or gift everything–and I so want that candle lighter. It’s going to change my life.

Bummer…my lighter and scale don’t work. 😔 The scale won’t level out and the lighter just flat out won’t work even though I’ve charged it and tried it several times it just doesn’t do anything.

I use my food scale for baking. Much more precise.

Nice box. I have the echo dot and still learning like you, Liz. I mostly use it to listen to music and you can ask it what’s on tv or what’s playing in movie theaters near you. I still haven’t figured out how to set it up to turn down lighting and stuff, so you guys are ahead of me.. I not a huge techy gal, so this is a new thing for me to learn. I’m not sure if I’d get this box for that reason, but I enjoy reading your reviews.

The more I see this box reviewed, the more I want to cancel all my other sub boxes and get this one!!!!! Every Breo box has been so good!!!!

Great review and box! I would use everything. I subscribed last season but I haven’t been charged for this quarter. I hope I get this box.

Oh my goodness, so you are too funny. I clicked on your joke link for the Tesla X and was totally surprised and confused by it! Then I went back and reread your sentence. Ha! Love it!

I personally don’t think this box comes even close to the awesomeness that was their summer box. The only thing that really jumped out to me is the lighter, which is hella cool!

They included a water bottle in August, so the fact that we’re seeing another one is kind of meh to me. Things like the notebook, charging bank and the food scale while are definitely practical items, they don’t feel unique to me at all. I’ve seen those items one or more times in other sub boxes.

I don’t know…I’m really glad I didn’t grab this season’s box despite the fact that I was so impressed with summer and I really want to see this company thrive. This box just doesn’t seem as well rounded as past boxes.

This is a great box. It has at least three christmas gifts and items for me. I have been deprived. No Amazon Echo, no laser lighter, etc. I have succeeded in life without them but they would certainly be nice to have. Think my power company would understand if I did not pay them this month?

Meh. Already have a digital scale for baking and tons of iPhone chargers, not to mention infuser flasks (and if I eve see another water bottle in a box I will lose my mind.)

But the thing that shocked me was the estimated RV for a candle that’s made in Vietnam out of paraffin – never mind beeswax, but not even soy? Makes me feel much better about spending $ on the Jo Malone and Diptique ones. And makes me wonder if maybe I have outgrown boxes because there’s no way they can select things that everyone will adore in every box; if I end up thinking every month that I’m better off just spending the same amount on two items I really want and paying full price… then perhaps it’s time to move on. Le sigh. First world problems. I do love the packaging though:-)

And a general comment on the advent calendars this year – is it me being a grouch or are all of them so far unimpressive and overpriced? I was dying to spend money on the Omorovicza LF one then saw the spoilers and gave up. Same with the 5th Avenue Style and the Luxor ones – the spoilers were so underwhelming – one with a ridiculous overpriced watch and the other with an oxidized bracelet cuff. Holding out hope for net-a-porter. If they disappoint too… I’m done with calendars.

Hi Liz. Can you tell me where you found the pebble for $10? I would love to buy some at that price!! Thanks

P.s. I’ve been on the wait list for swaps for two months already. Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved? I’ve emailed MSA and they just said I’m still in the wait list :-/

I use a food scale to weigh my swap packages, so I can print a label from home.

I would love to buy this box as I would use or gift everything in it – except for that leather wrap thing.

WTF??!?? And it’s the most expensive item in the box & the most useless.

Major eyeroll, Breo. Way to inflate the overall RV of the box with scraps.

Not the sort of box I would likely subscribe to, but I love the concept of the wooden box packing!

People who don’t cook can also use the scale to weigh items for swapping. You can print a label on PayPal Postage if you know the weight and save yourself a trip to the post office.
