A great company with lots of lovely merch to give. I get the Harry Potter one and the only problem is that I occasionally I get merch repeated. Other than that though it’s awesome, I look forward to m... See more

Terrible box

Terrible box, don't even think about getting a subcription
My partner got me the 80 pound subscription box for my birthday, as soon as i opened the boxed i was greatly dissapointed. Contents were:
-2 Funko pop figure( both terribly packaged, boxes were destroyed)
-2 FAKE lego figures made from a chinese company with the logo on the packaging
-2 Hasbro black panther tiny figure
-1 Yoda fabric bag
-1 Hufflepuff mug
-1 Hufflepuff keychain
-1 Star war passport holder ???
-1 Star wars the mandalorian figure.
-1 My hero academia tiny figure
-1 pokemon card just thrown in the box
Overall terrible experience, all items were banged up. Most more interesting items beeing chinese immitations. funko boxes destroyed, pokemon card almost teared up.
They should be ashamed of asking 80 pounds/months for this.

Geekcrate provides a decent experience…

Geekcrate provides a decent experience with some positives and negatives. While the trade-in process for bulk cards is smooth and convenient, with good communication and efficient payment via PayPal, the premium merchandise offerings are a bit disappointing. Some items feel subpar, like the merchandise and posters, not quite living up to expectations. Delivery is timely, and the Marvel-themed products impressed; however, not all items meet the same standard. Overall, Geekcrate has potential, especially for trading cards, but their premium merchandise could use improvement.

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful - my box was NOT worth the money and my email complaint has been completely IGNORED!
Items were fake, not collectibles, not worth anywhere near the value its supposed to be, let alone the amount I paid.

Very poor contents NOT COLLECTORS ITEMS

I ordered the collectors edition 10-15 item mystery box, normally £79.95 I got it on offer for £55.97.
Was so disappointed in the contents, when added up the contents of the box came to £49.74 some items were taken from multipacks so you got a random badge which would normally come as a set, same with a notebook which is from a pack of 3... I was going to continue this subscription until my daughters birthday so would've had 3months worth but cancelled it. These are definitely not collectors items either, this is more for young kids. I really wouldn't waste your money when there is better mystery boxes on ebay where the contents of the box is worth more than what you pay.

Pretty good box

For the most part every box has something fun and on theme to what I like. It would be nice if the pop figures were exclusive branded sometimes.

Great for Star Wars fans

Really reliable subscription, and very helpful. Products that arrive are unique and exceed expectations. I do a bimonthly subscription and I get something new every time. If you’re a Star Wars fan, I 100% recommend

Don't bother.

I had ordered two boxes and they have just arrived. One standard so about £20 one premium near £30 and this was with a 20% discount. I received all the same things in both boxes, the only difference with one of the boxes was a ravenclaw blue notebook which I assume came in the premium box. Considering the price difference between the two boxes I expect completely different things in each of the boxes. I also feel that for what came in the boxes wasn't worth the price that I had paid for them,
Items include
1 gryffindor enamel pin
1 Slytherin keychain (rubber)
A 4 pack of rubbers
1 golden pen with a snitch on top
1 hogwarts legacy mug
1 loose 9¾ pin
1 Lego Voldemort
And two pictures that I could have printed myself
As said the only difference was that in the one box I received a notebook. On the site it does say that the standard comes with 4-6 items which is almost £30 and the premium comes with 6-10 for almost £40 and that's for a one time purchase. I wanted to try out geek crate because I use to buy from geek gear and it was just a let down. I emailed the company two days ago the second I'd opened my boxes and am yet to hear a reply

Worst website

It was the worst mystery box experience that I have ever had.
Paying £30 you would expect at least something fair for the price. Reality? A Pencil, a pin, a 50p pack and a £2 pokemon tcg Chinese pack. Will definitely not buy, it is a total scam, do not buy from them!

Disappointing experience, Premium Box not as advertised.

I have ordered a Pokemon Geek Crate as it was advertised to contain 6-10 items Including figures/plushies and various pokemon merch, as shown on all advertised pictures which sold it to me.

I have received no figures nor plush in my box....

My box contained 2 packs of pokemon cards, one of which japanese, non official keyring, non offcial badly done chinese pin, some printed little cut outs of pictures of pokemons and one 6x8 print, licensed pokeball socks and non official cheap chinese wallet.

I like some of the stuff I received apart from wallet which is very basic chinese feel thats completely not in my style and have no use for it, but I feel like this was not the premium box at all... not as advertised with figures and plushes for sure. I would for sure not pay £40 for this...

I have cancelled the subscription straight away as don't want to keep paying premium price and getting substandard, less than what was advertised contents.

Very disappointing, was really looking forward to this being a great hit to top up my plush and figure collection on top of some pokemon card boosters to boost my TCG collection. This could have been great monthly treat if it was as advertised, unfortunately it wasn't...

I hate leaving negative reviews but maybe this will save someone money & disappointment & prompt the company to upgrade their service to required levels.

2 stars as there are still items in box I enjoyed, but overally, a majorly disappointing experience.
