Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
I got an e-mail from Peko today. It's a play on Spotify's "Wrapped", so they have "Peko Wrapped". This is nice, but it's inaccurate. They said I only bought 1 box when I've received 3. Hmm... They also don't include pantry items, so overall the Peko Wrapped is a disappointment. The email also included a... Continue Reading →
This is our second box from Peko Produce. Most of the produce looks to be in better shape this time except for the tomatoes, which have some mould on them. This is a pretty nice variety that contains quite a few things that we commonly eat, and others we like to eat but rarely purchase.... Continue Reading →
What made me subscribe to 3 dog subscription boxes? Ahhh! At least the dogs will be happy. Woof Crate, along with Fetch. Co, claims to be Canada's premium subscription for dogs. Actually, technically Woof Crate's tagline is the most premium subscription for dogs, though they don't say what makes them different from other subscription boxes.... Continue Reading →
I am not sure how I feel about this. When one orders produce for the week, one would expect it to arrive fresh and last at least a few days. Some of the produce came squished, some expired promptly, some arrived already rotting, and some rotted a day or two later. Peculiar doesn't mean rotting.... Continue Reading →
I'm not going to fight these guys to give them my business. Such a bizarre company. I've subscribed twice now. The first time, back in July, I had absolutely no issues and the products were fine. I was expecting a fall box, but they sent a summer box almost immediately, which I got 4 days... Continue Reading →
I always look forward to the Clove Pink boxes; it's such a great variety of Canadian products that are non-toxic and ethically made. Clove Pink Overview Cost: $49.95 CAD + Tax Value: 3-5 quality non-toxic personal care essentials of unknown value Frequency: Bi-monthly Cancellation Policy: Cancel after minimum commitment Payment: Bi-monthly Focus: "The membership for...

Purchasing this box was quite the experience. I paid for it on July 15 with the understanding that it would arrive in September. I got a "Thank you for your order" note with no receipt and no official order confirmation. I e-mailed on September 28 asking what the status was because I never got the... Continue Reading →
I was very confused when my package arrived and I saw two boxes again. I had various theories about why this would be the case, but when I opened the box and saw Tammy's card welcoming me to the subscription I knew it was a mistake. I e-mailed her about it and she said I... Continue Reading →
Though targeted for women 50+, I've found these boxes to be quite good for women of all ages. Not that men can't enjoy them too, but generally speaking, most of the products are designed with women in mind. Clove Pink Overview Cost: $49.95 CAD + Tax Value: 3-5 quality non-toxic personal care essentials of unknown... Continue Reading →
This box is so superbly designed. The details make it really fun. It is also super cool that they focus on products from Canadian towns that have fewer than 30,000 residents. Acre 75 Gathered Subscription Box Overview Cost: $97.95 + tax Value: Unknown Frequency: Quarterly Cancellation Policy: One month's notice Payment: The 20th of September,... Continue Reading →
