    I'm not impressed with this at all. I signed up at the beginning and was told I'd get a box.

    I think they must have had more demand than they expected and kep changing it as they go along.

    Sorry if it sounds like sour grapes, it's not meant to, it's just a bit annoying. Oh well! :o)
  • Just got a physical box Thanks OP :D

    I don't understand how I'm meant to get a physical box?

    I click "Get it now" and it says there's 1 left, but I don't see anything to click on or anywhere to put my details. I expect this 1 is an imaginary 1, but even so, any of you lucky people who've got one - where did you tell them your details?

    I had to click 'get it now' not once but twice, and then it referred me to a Facebook page, at which point a separate box appeared where I could insert my address. My name was already there courtesy of Facebook! I was fortunate enough that 10 were available when I happened to look but the number swiftly dwindled as though a few people were trying at once.

    I agree with you even though i hopefully managed to get a box.

    If they had a set no of boxes, then only accept up to that limit. Yes they kept changing the offer so eventually you would get a box, if you sat for ages refreshing the page and if you signed up with you email from this thread, then did not ever guarantee you anything apart from your name on a special waiting list and even if you never signed up you could get a box. Makes no sense:rotfl:

    I think this turned out to be a bit of a shambles, I too am supposed to be actually receiving a box - I'll let you know whats inside - if I get it!

    Just got this email

    Hi there

    This is a good news/bad news mail from your friends at Box of Awesome. First, the bad news: unfortunately you didn’t get a box this time. We’re really sorry about this but the demand from the community was HUGE.

    BUT! Here’s the good news:

    1. You’ve got an exclusive DIGITAL box waiting for you (completely free!), which has a mix of games that you won’t find anywhere else. You can get it here.

    2. You’re at the very top of the Awesome List for BOA #2. Which means that after subscribers, you’ll be next in line to get your box. Keep watching our FB page and your inbox for updates on when this will be (sooner than you think). Also, as a thank-you for being so patient we’re going to try and put a very special item in your box next time :)

    If you’ve any questions, just hit us up on our FB page or send us an email. We’ll try and answer everything!

    The Box of Awesome Team


    A little annoyed, i signed up when first told, had the priorty code (which said i was guarenteed a box) then found out i still had to "grab a box" managed to enter details for a real box only to be told this. Wont be getting my hopes up. Seems like a money making scam to me.

  • I have given up with this offer now having read and tried for a physical box and failed. If I can nab a physical box in the coming weeks great, but if not I wont be busting a gut over it.
