This Month's Craft Reviews 89

I just wanted to edit my original review to include what I actually received in my box that finally came in the mail, not in 2-6 days like stated, but on day 14. Which is fine, had I not had to get ahold of the company myself and ask why my box hadn't even been shipped a week after ordering. I wonder if they ever would have contacted me had I not contacted them first. I was told they were having supply issues, and let me tell you, after opening my box, I can definitely agree. I got less than 1/2,of what's pictured on the website.

The first picture I'm posting is what is shown on the website and in demo videos as the "whittling" box. The next 2 show what I actually received. Do not be fooled and think you will get what is shown. Yes, I had no idea which of the boxes I would get. I was actually hoping it would be a new box and not one of the few that had already been distributed, improved before it was to be filmed, and then shown here.

The quality of the SINGLE knife I received is nice, but it was the only quality thing in the box. The sandpaper was Dollar Tree quality and was packaged facing one another so that their contrasting grits rubbed one another during the much delayed shipping process, I only received 2 blocks of wood when the picture shows and STATES 8 pieces. All in all, I used an introductory coupon and paid $34.** for this box, and there definitely isn't $34 worth of items inside.

I also just did a quick search on Amazon for a whittling knife. In the 4th picture, you can see that for $34 I can get a SET of knives and 8 pieces of wood. In fact, it looks like they bought that set, filmed/photographed with it, and then sent subpar boxes out missing 1/2 of what they showed. And there are many, many other sets for less than $34 that have stellar reviews and so much more included. Now, I know it's hard to compete with Amazon, and I like to give smaller companies my money instead, but I expect those companies to be upstanding and honest companies. I just got a cross between Amazon and Temu. Amazon light? Temu+?

Seriously, I have no idea how they got such great reviews unless they sent influencer boxes out with a much better quality and then sent this joke of a box out to actual subscribers who paid.

*Sorry, can't post pix here!

Took money from my card but says the payment couldn't be verified. Looked cool but it looks like it's a scam.

I love crafts and I love this idea. The directions however are incredibly awful and frustrating.

This Month's Craft is my new favorite monthly subscription! That's what I said a few months ago when I received my first box. The next month this company took my money and failed to send anything. The next box had $15 worth of items and I was charged more than twice as much. The ads for this subscription tell you "you won't regret it" and "$80 worth of supplies at a low price", neither of these is true. I Do regret it and sending a cheap craft that I can get at a store for $15 or less is ridiculous. Also sending me a DIY box that does not include "everything you need" to complete or even begin this project. I'm extremely sorry I fell for this garbage. Customer service is a joke. As far as I'm concerned they owe me. Needless to say this subscription is cancelled.

This month's craft is just amazing! I'm having so much fun starting with my project <3 I have been looking for a new hobby for a while now. This month's craft's DIY box has definitely become it!

ordered, subscribed. got one box, charged for two. when I asked about my second box 'oh, that's been cancelled, but you can use this code for your next order to get 10% off'
... but I'm subscribed. and they couldn't, wouldn't or otherwise didn't contact me ahead of time to tell me they'd just decided to cancel a month on me. and after a month of emailing, they aren't refunding. and they hide things nicely so I can't find out what their attorney general might be.
pretty much pure fraud at this point.

I love the idea of trying out different crafts every month. First month was a positive surprise, let's see what's next!
