How Bespoke Works
Prior to receiving your first subscription box, you’ll first need to take the online preferences quiz which will help Bespoke Post to tailor future boxes to your interests. You’ll be able to select one of the following options to indicate your interest for certain categories available: very interested, open to try, not interested.
Categories that you’ll be asked to rate include Barware & Mixology, Home Décor & Accessories, Style Accessories, Men's Clothing, Cigars & Tobacco, Kitchen & Cooking,Men's Grooming, Camping & Outdoors, Travel & Bags, and Music & Tech Gear. You’ll also be asked to provide your waist size , shoe size, and shirt size as well.
Once you’ve completed the preferences quiz, Bespoke Post will then allow you to preview your upcoming box and either keep it, swap it out, or skip it. If you choose to either keep the current box or swap it out, you’ll be charged $49 for your upcoming order. All recurring orders will follow a similar process where Bespoke Post will email you 5 days before charging you to ensure that you want your next pre-selected box or not.
You can easily cancel any upcoming order or cancel your subscription via your online account.

Is Bespoke Post Worth It?
Bespoke Post is certainly worth it! Many of the boxes we’ve reviewed at MSA have been valued at double or more the value than the cost of the monthly subscription and each box includes items from lesser-known brands to support small businesses. Bespoke also provides much more customization for boxes compared to other lifestyle brands and offers 10+ categories of boxes to enjoy.
