r/SubscriptionBoxes

Trying to cancel Optimum internet has been the worst experience I’ve had with any provider. Because so many people are having the same problem, I thought it would be a good idea to bring this issue more attention with a petition.

Like modern competitors, Optimum should offer a fast and easy process for cancelling a subscription. Users shouldn’t have to file complaints to the FCC to get it done.

Let’s all demand a clear and easy process for canceling a subscription! Hopefully we can make a difference and improve quality of life for all those who’ve been financially hurt. (or had to listen to pop goes the weasel on repeat for six hours on the Optimum helpline!)

So I subbed to Owlcrate's quarterly sci-fi box. They cancelled it after 2 books, refusing to give any reason (there was still a waiting list, so it wasn't lack of interest).

They offered for those of us affected to skip the wait list on another sub, so I signed up for Adult Fantasy monthly. I figured it'd be something my wife and I would both enjoy.

Boy was I wrong.

Every book is the same romantasy bs. Girl protagonist, bad boy rival that she's secretly in love with, and I think 75% of the time there's a cat somewhere.

Not to mention it seems they have a major quality control issue. One book was sent with a page missing. 3 this year have been delayed because of damages.

So is there a better quality subscription out there that has actual fantasy / sci-fi not Harlequin Romance fantasy?

Hi everyone! 👋

I love the charm of snail mail and the community around mail clubs, but keeping track of everything can sometimes get a bit unorganized. Because of that, I decided to build a dedicated iOS app to help us manage our letters and clubs.

It's called Mailbox - Clubs & Snail Mail.

If you run a mail club, or if you just love participating in them, you can use the app to add your club, discover others, and keep everything in one place.

I would absolutely love for you to try it out and add your own mail clubs to the directory! I’m an indie developer, so any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for new features would mean the world to me. I want to make this as useful for this community as possible.

Here is the link to the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/es/app/mailbox-clubs-snail-mail/id6761711783?l=en-GB

Thank you so much for reading, and happy writing! 📮✨

I've never gotten a subscription box of any sort. I know some are better than others, but it seems like some that used to be good and now not and vice versa too. What are some boxes still worth it today? Doesn't have to be "man" stuff necessarily, but Im not looking for any geared toward women either. Thanks for the help, guys!
