Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Maple is still behind in their shipping. They promised us it was getting resolved, alas it has absolutely not. We didn't receive the Winter box until February 9, which is almost on par with last year. We have yet to receive one more box and then our Maple subscription is finished. Ciao Maple! But give...

Whew. Okay. The Maple Summer box didn't come until September 14. I know they've been having issues, which have apparently now been resolved, however it's November 18 at the time of writing and the fall box still hasn't arrived.

As much as I enjoy and appreciate the Acre 75 boxes, I have opted to cancel my subscription. As you have to prepay for the subscription boxes months ahead of time (my last charge was on September 20), the Winter 2023 box will be our final box from this company.

I'm always a bit confused when the MSRP listed on the contents page is different than what the companies are selling their own products for. For example, the Blooming Wild Botanicals lotion bar is $18 on their website, but listed at $22 on Let's Go Eco's sheet. I can't quite figure this out. Is it... Continue Reading →
Acre 75 is always a fun box because we get to learn about all these small towns scattered across the country. This is not a box where you get a screaming deal for the price you spend. The appeal is the curated arrangement of products from small Canadian businesses. Acre 75 Gathered Subscription Box Overview... Continue Reading →
Start: Summer 2022 End: Spring 2023 Total Spent: $501.76 including tax Total Value: ~$800 before tax Unlike most subscription boxes, The Maple Box does not do a lot of communicating. There are no annoying requests for feedback, or selling add-ons, no newsletters, or really anything. It's basically radio silence. There aren't even shipping updates. When... Continue Reading →
When Maple arrived, it was a surprise. I thought it was the first summer box to arrive. I was wrong. The winter box arrived so late, and other summer boxes have already arrived (I'm looking at you FabFitFun) that I forgot they hadn't yet sent their spring box. Ta da! There's the spring box arriving... Continue Reading →
