    Signed up last month to get a box for husbands Christmas stocking. Only wanted one month so cancelled after it arrived. Cancellation confirmed 24th Oct. charged again 31st Oct, contacted them and they admitted error so refunded me on 6th Nov... Box arrived this morning! Not sure what to do. Can't imagine I will go to the bother of posting it back

    They're worth it if you want some crap to mess around with for a while.

    I haven't opened my first one yet, but from the YT videos I've seen of past crates you're never going to get something spectacular out of them. It's always just going to be fun little novelties or the odd t-shirt. Personally I think a lot of the criticism leveled at them is from people who are going in with too igh expectations. I'm going in expecting to get a box of nick-knacks that will amuse me for a few hours. Anything else is a bonus. :P

    I don't see the bargain here. It sounds expensive for what is tat and junk.

    Excuse me, but one man's tat and junk is another man's Street Fighter headband and Sharknado Survival Book :P

    I got two crates for Oct & Nov, but that's it for me. Fun idea, similar to a 'lucky bag' but with brand names but the crates I got didn't blow me away and I'm not bothered going for a third one.

    Cheers for the heads up though, OP.

    My tracking info shows it in the country since the 12th but I've still not gotten it. Anyone else in the same boat?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,048 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit

    Opened the crate there. Happy enough with it, if not completely blown away. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,504 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Received another loot crate thinking it was decembers one coming early to avoid christmas post delays, but opened and it was another november crate? I checked my bank account last week and I was billed for the crate, even tho my billing date every month is the 17th. Again I thought that it was to send the december crate early, has this happened anyone else?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    Not me anyhow (yet !)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭maximoose


    I was billed on the 6th, I assumed that was for December but I might check it out with them now!

    About december's crate, I'm looking forward to it more than the previous few!
    his month we’re celebrating a selection of geek and gaming franchises that have had significant anniversaries in 2014 for our December crate! Believe us when we say it’s going to be BIG - as in, literally the BIGGEST crate we’ve ever delivered, size-wise! With exclusives featuring DC Comics/Batman & Marvel/Guardians of the Galaxy We also have an exclusive Ghostbusters collectible, a variant cover comic exclusive to Looters, and epic Tetris and The Simpsons items rounding things out!
    To end the year with a bang we have another EXCLUSIVE Funko POP! Vinyl figure created exclusively for us at Loot Crate. You will NOT be able to find it anywhere else!
    With this POP! Vinyl & other exclusives, this month's crate is bursting with value!

  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 14,009 Mod ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    I always use "EIRE" as my ZIP. I used to use "n/a" as well, and have never had a problem with either.

    No sign yet, I've always received them pretty early too. Busy time though. Hopefully they'll arrive by Christmas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,357 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    My previous two have arrived early and both times on a Tuesday. Nothing so far for this one but hoping its going to be good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Hopefully. It's not looking good though. I don't expect mine until January at this stage. Last months one took over 10 days to get to me after it arrived in Ireland!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭cw67irl


    I didn't think they shipped until around the 20th?

    Is this the "Anniversary" crate?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Signed up myself there afew days ago.

    Whats with all the spam emails asking me to subscribe to a subscribtion i already am on.


    Also $30 seems a little pricey


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,357 ✭✭✭DubDJ


    Just got my tracking info, only gives details as far as leaving the US but should be arriving very soon.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,567 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    yea just got the tracking info too, showing it departing US yesterday 17th, so possibly it might sneak in before Christmas but I'm not expecting it personally, whatever.
