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 →
Peko Produce – December 4 2022
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 →
The Extraordinary Man – Fall 2022
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 →

Catoro Cat Crate – Limited Edition
This is my first cat crate. I was a little hesitant ordering one because our current lot of cats can be picky, and because we have 3 largish dogs in the house, it's debatable if the cats would play with any toys. I took the plunge and bought a box without a subscription. There was... Continue Reading →

True North – Autumn 2022
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 →
Loti Wellness Box – October 2022
My credit card number got stolen in September and because Loti charges monthly I was very tempted to just let it slip away. However, I did commit to a year so I updated my number. Loti Wellness Subscription Box Overview Cost: $55.95 CAD + $10 shipping + Tax Value: $100+ Frequency: Monthly Cancellation Policy: Cancel... Continue Reading →
