Retail value of the box matters little to me. A manufacturer can slap any price they want on an item, but if it sucks, it's worth precisely $0.00 to me, no matter what size (foil, deluxe, full size) product I receive. I've found HGs through foils, and I've received full-sized 'luxury' brands that I hated.Regarding products received in subscription boxes, which do you value most? Also, does it matter if the cost of the items in the box aren't double or triple the price of the box? What exactly do you look for in a subscription box.
as long as the value to me is equal to the cost, I am happy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Agreed with @@gingerneko
And for me, if the things i like, can use, can gift don't add up to at least the retail value of the box, then i am unhappy and think about cancelling, or at least venting. And if the values are hyper-inflated (like all purses special made for sub boxes) i do another iteration of my useable box value based on price i would really pay for said object.
Quality over quantity, within reason
Exactly. It's not what they charge for it -- it's what I'd be willing to pay for it. Most of those purses and jewelry items in boxes have inflated values, IMO. I make jewelry as a hobby, and when they offer, for example, braided-cord bracelets with a retail of $50, I just shake my head, because I could make them for $2-5 in materials and an hour of time. However, some things like that market tote from April's PSMH made the rest of the box a bonus, because I use that tote all the time and love it. It's the perfect size, it zips into a nice little compact shape, and it's super cute and surprisingly durable.Agreed with @@gingerneko

Defiinitely the quality!!! Both in product and service. Some people here may remember Gogo Girlfriend. Their selling point was a box chock-full of stuff, sometimes exceeding 20 small items. A lot of people rushed to cancel Birchbox (this was before Beauty Army, Sample Society, and others were a thing at all, and Ipsy was brand-spanking-new) because it seemed like so much more. People got an introductory box, and maybe one afterward, and that was about it--they kept withdrawing the monthly fee, then telling people the fee was for membership to a site to buy slightly discounted products and they weren't guaranteed a box to begin with. On top of this, half the contents or more were pure crap, horrible quality, and potentially counterfeit. Gogo Girlfriend ended up imploding upon itself after customers rushed to cancel and dispute charges, and I think all of us who were involved in that mess emerged both wary and wiser.Regarding products received in subscription boxes, which do you value most?
