Accio! BoxReviews of acciobox.com

It took from mid October to mid December for the box to arrive and the contents weren’t that special even if cute.

Honestly, I'm holding on to hope that Accio!Box will get better. I use to really love the box, but as of late [...the last year or so], the quality of the items have been less than stellar. The t-shirts are generally quite nice, but would love to see different wearables, less paper items, more glass or resin over plastic, less "pretty packaging" and more high quality items. The price, especially plus shipping, is waaaaaaaay too high for what we have been receiving.

I really enjoyed the boxes at first, but I feel like I get the same stuff in all my boxes now. It’s always a drawing, pin, and t-shirt. The items are very nice, and I like them, but I would like different items, so the box isn’t as predictable each month. I would like more house related items!

Accio is a fun box for kids. But I wouldn’t say it’s great for adult collectors, i feel in the past year or more that the quality has cheapened and that really sad, because Accio was one of my favorite magical boxes.

The quality of items is nice and also the efficiency that the boxes arrive from the date is distribution. Sadly, I only ever enjoy, keep, and use half or less of the items in each box, which really doesn't justify the value for me. Overall, it's nice and for the right customer, a box full of good items, but just not for me.

I'm not happy that you are making people buy the last crate in order to get the last of the Protector pins. That's not cool

The only way I can do a review of my first Accio! box is to talk about each item, one by one. 1. Holyhead Harpies Tee - really great! I like the theme, although I could've wished for a different color, don't really like the green too much. But it's very soft, fits well, and I'm looking forward to wearing it a lot! 2. Weird Sisters ticket - nice touch, looks realistic. Being from the West Coast of the US, and never having traveled to the UK (yet!), I have no clue if this is a real venue or not - Carkitt Market? Shouldn't it have been somewhere in Diagon Alley? And now that I have it, what exactly am I supposed to do with it? Kind of useless, really. 3. Weird Sisters "Artfully Distressed Canvas Punk Patch" - if the ticket is useless, this 5" x 2.5" (127mm x 62mm) piece of fabric is even more so. Do concerts in the UK really have these for sale as souvenirs? I've never seen this at concerts in the US, and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. And if the ticket is from July, 1999, why is the patch from their 1994 World Tour? This is nothing I would pay for, ever. 4. Anything's Possible bracelet - fairly nice, seems like good quality. I had never thought of this as one of Ginny's best quotes, but I suppose it's something I'll wear whenever I put on my other Harry Potter jewelry. 5. Protector Stained Glass Pin - OUTSTANDING!!! and the reason why I subscribed to this box, really. These pins are just beautiful, and I can't wait to see how they all look together, in the special frame. The quality is top-notch, and I can't find a single bad thing to say. Just really gorgeous. 6. Watercolor Print of Ginny Weasley - it's a really nice picture, and as listed, has all kinds of Ginny-realted items, like a quaffle, golden snitch, DA and Slug Club pins, her wand, a backpack with her patronus on it, etc. - even the shirt that came in the box. I don't know, I've been such a fan of the original books, and then the movies, that this doesn't really strike me as "Ginny," but I suppose it's true to her style. Something else I'm not sure what I'll do with. 7. "Arnold" Scented Candle - This candle is cute, and soy is always the way to go for good quality candles. However, the scents of "cherry, raspberry, and vanilla" are not a good mixture. There's a kind of funky smell that I don't like at all.I can't imagine who tested this and said "Yeah, this is just what we want for our box." So all in all, 2 out of 7 really great things I was thrilled to get; 1 item I'll enjoy on an occasional basis, and 4 other items I wouldn't pay a dime for. Rather disappointing, but since I really wanted the pin and you have to be a subscriber to get the last section, this is what I had to do. Oh well, there's always ebay.

The Latest Box I got was the Ginny Box, I was kind of disappointed. There was some missed opportunities with some of her trademark things. The Bracelet is unwearable, and unreadable. However I love the Protector Pin, and the T-Shirt.
