Absolutely shocking

Absolutely shocking. I have had to leave the home I was living in for 12 years due to domestic violence. It has taken me time to establish myself, I am missing parcels from MakeBox that they are refusing to replace. I have spent over £150 on nothing, I am shocked by their lack of care. Please be careful.

Makebox are a truly caring company

Makebox are a truly caring company. Their monthly subscription boxes are exciting, varied and give the chance to try new crafts. Each box comes with all the necessary materials to complete the task, along with easy to follow instructions. Any queries are addressed quickly and efficiently. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they always go the extra mile. It is easy to skip a subscription or choose an alternative. Certainly a company who cares about their customers and products.

Lovely products and great service!

I've bought several items from MakeBox, they have a good range that are ideal for some mindful craft time. They are beautifully packaged and have full instructions including some videos and the service is great.

Outstanding boxes and customer service!

I've been getting Makebox boxes since early 2020 (review written in late 2024) and I can honestly say they are brilliant. The projects are interesting, each month is different and the quality of the materials is outstanding. It's very easy to skip a month if you aren't interested in that month's craft, or if you are so interested in it that you happen to already own most of the materials anyway.

Moreover, their customer service has always been incredible. I've needed them a few times to substitute an upcoming box or to change my subscription and they have always responded on the same day and are always very nice and helpful. Thank you so much!

look fully into their subscription…

look fully into their subscription before you sign up.
They take your money at the beginning of the month but that payment is for the following months box. So if they take the money on 1st may you will not get a box until after 9th June.
the company says you can change your subscription item BUT you have to do this BEFORE they take payment. THE WHOLE PROCESS HAS BEEN STRESSFUL and ridiculous.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A SUBSCRIPTION.
In reply to their explanation.
I made changes to my order and this showed on my subscription page. At no time was I informed that this was wrong . I continued to believe that the swap I had made was ok (as it showed on my subscription page) until I was sent a different box.

Hi Sandra,
We would be happy to clarify this for you. Your understanding of the dates is inaccurate. The details below should help.

Subscription terms:

Our subscription journey has not changed since we started. As all of our FAQs, email updates and terms of sale outline, the subscription renews on the 11th of each month. All edits have to be made before that, this is because an order is created when you pay for it on the 11th. Like all retail websites, the order is created and sent to the fulfilment centre once you pay. We do offer to try and help if a customer makes a mistake or wants to change their delivery if we are contacted.

Helpful links outlining all the subscription details available:

1. Subscription sign-up page outlining the FAQ's - https://makebox.co/pages/makebox-subscription
2. Subscription box selection page showing expected delivery for each box - https://makebox.co/pages/1st-box-monthly
3. Terms and conditions - https://makebox.co/pages/terms-conditions
4. We sent you a copy of your renewal email delivery log showing it was correctly delivered and read on the 8th of August. This would have outlined the box you were getting, the renewal date and when changes should have been made (in this case selecting the correct colour bag or swapping the box).

We remain available to help as needed and have emailed you as such.

A lovely company and great products

Really helpful customer service (I got my discount codes mixed up and they sorted that out for me very quickly). I absolutely love the products - the range and quality of everything I've ordered has been brilliant.

I purchased the make your own clock so that I could theme the colours with my daughters bedroom.
The kit came beautifully packaged, sectioned into parts.
Clear instructions were inside the box- I had everything I needed.
