Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about BestBoxPicks.
How do you choose which boxes to review?
We review boxes based on popularity, reader requests, and new market entries. We aim to cover a wide range of categories and price points to help all types of subscription box seekers.
Do you receive free boxes from companies?
Sometimes companies send us boxes for review purposes. When this happens, we clearly disclose it. However, we purchase most boxes ourselves to ensure our reviews remain unbiased.
How often are reviews updated?
We aim to update reviews annually or when significant changes occur to a subscription service. Prices, offerings, and company policies can change, so we recommend checking the official website for the most current information.
Do you earn money from affiliate links?
Yes, we participate in affiliate programs. When you click certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support our site, but it never influences our ratings or recommendations.
Can I submit a box for review?
Absolutely! We welcome submissions from subscription box companies and readers alike. Visit our Submit a Box page to send us your suggestion. We can't guarantee we'll review every submission, but we consider all of them.
How are star ratings calculated?
Our ratings are based on five criteria: value for money, product quality, curation & variety, personalization options, and customer experience. Each factor is weighted and combined into an overall score. Learn more on our How We Rate page.
What does 'Editor's Choice' mean?
Editor's Choice badges are awarded to boxes that score 4.5 stars or higher and demonstrate exceptional quality in their category. These represent our top recommendations.
