To be honest, it's like a surprise every month and a welcome change from flyers, bank foolishness and bills.
What I've found is that the subscription box service has EXPLODED (relatively speaking) in the past few years. I've signed up for some, others I'm pondering. There are also one-off boxes you can order and I will include them in this list as well.
The other thing I should note is not all of the boxes ship globally. I live in Canada so mailing packages can be costly which typically I pay extra. I will do my best to include costs as accurately as possible.
I will be editing the list as I find other boxes or if their policies/availability changes.
Note: Some of the links include referrals that will advantage my own account. You don't have to use them AT ALL. Sometimes though, using a referral nets you a discount as well.
You will notice that my list is mostly companies that ship to Canada as 1 of the options. Sorry, but I am self-serving that way!
All reviews of services and boxes are purchased by me. If (luck should have it) I receive a box from a company interested in my opinion I will certainly let you know.
