My box just keeps on moving, it has now been processed for export. I exchanged email with Stavros again today who apologized for the shipping delays (which sound fairly common for Greece?) and he says that for the first box they've done something different: "Instead of a normal paper box we have placed the products in a nice wooden box which you can then later reuse for other gifts or as decoration."
If there is anyone interested in taking a chance on them on Black Friday, the code "Greece" at checkout will take 20% off an annual subscription, making each box $106.50 (including taxes, shipping, customs, etc).
It's a lot to take this on faith, since we haven't even revealed the first box's contents and things have been a little rocky at the start, but I think they're trying to make a go of it. I'm hoping to be wowed by this first box in a week or so. The theme of the next box, which is planned to be sent in a couple weeks to arrive before Christmas (!!) is "Hidden Treasures of Athens".
