Sorry, but, ZERO stars. I finally, received my 1st box, after 2 months. I am NOT impressed. I opened the box to find 2 smashed cupcakes, and oil leaking all over inside the box. I got 9 items. 5 of which were distributed by UNIVERSAL YUMS. ( A very nice, different, international subscription box, that I also recieve, and like a lot.) I wonder if UNIVERSAL YUMS is aware that this is happening. You better believe I will be telling them. Anyhow, while the items are from other countries, they were purchased in the US, from another company, and then they tried to act like it came from them, somewhere overseas. BTW, when I order things from UY, which I do often, it takes 4 to 5 days, from start to finish, to have it delivered. I believe they ship from CA, if I remember correctly. So anyhow, of the 5 items that I got from them, 2 of them were duplicates, so 5 items, only 3 unique items, and 2 of those were smashed. All of which I've had before, because they got them from Universal Yums, I have a subscription, and the snacks came from past boxes. I also recieived a packet of taco seasoning, distributed in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, that I could have gone over to the the Dollar Store down the block and gotten. And I got a 12 oz. Bag of coffee, grown in MIAMI, FLORIDA, infused with KENTUCKY bourbon. So from 9 items, I actually, received only 2, yes TWO, unique items a can of pomegranate sparkling water, from South Africa. And a bottle of red Sichuan pepper oil, which i AM excited to try, but it leaked. Thankfully, not a whole lot, but it got oil all over the box, and the rest of the items. It says It's a product of China, but that it was bottled in GEORGIA. Other than the pomegranate soda, from South Africa, everything was either manufactured, or distributed in the US, so WHY did it take 2 months to receive? Also, while I was waiting for my 1st box, they've already taken 2 more payments out of my account, for the next 2 boxes. This is the absolute WORST box that I have ever tried, and I've tried a lot of them. You can bet this subscription will be getting cancelled IMMEDIATELY.

How disappointing. I got a subscription back when the company first started and I loved it. Now,...
