Q: I received a 3 month gift subscription from my son and family for Mothers Day. I still have not received any product or communication. I received the gift printout card. Asked by Susan F., June 2023
This is a really great question! 1. Please make sure that your email address is on file with the account. This can often be left out with gift subscriptions. If you email us directly I can help. 2. You will receive an email notification when your order ships and a notification when it arrives. 3. You can also email us directly if you want to return a box, switch to a different box, or customize a future box.
Let me know how else I can help?
Q: My daughter and I usually craft together, are there enough supplies to make 2 items each month or would we need 2 subscriptions? Also, is September tea/mugs or the macrame wind chime?Asked by Kimberly D., September 2022
That is a great question, Kimberly! The boxes are not created for 2. But with most boxes the project is suitable for a collaborative craft experience. For example, September 2022 is a Tea Making Kit in which you can make a set of painted tea mugs and blended tea bags! This could easily work for 2 people. However the May 2022, was a Punch Needle Rug Making Kit in which you only had enough supplies to make 1 rug.
Again September 2022 is tea making. 3, 6, and year subscribers can choose their own boxes from our entire catalog. New monthly subscribers must wait 2 months before they can choose their own boxes.
Q: I am looking for a box subscription kit for my 14 y/o daughter who likes different crafting projects and is advanced at crafting. Can anyone suggest the right box kit?Asked by Angie J., November 2019
Hi Angie!
I would definitely recommend any of the Adult Craft Boxes. I would not recommend any of the Kid Boxes because those are created for much younger children. You can always take a peek at the kits before teen starts the project to see if you want to add any assistance. For example, we we have several candle making kits that involve using the stove and melting wax. We have a wood burning kit that using a tool that you plugin and it heats up. So if you have any concerns with your teen accessing supplies like that, you could potentially swap out kits or just be around to supervise while they craft!
Hi Angie, Great question. I am from Craft in Style from Pop Shop America and here are my faves:

poor quality, uninteresting and not as advertised. don't waste your money. better off goggling an idea and buying supplies at a craft store or amazon
I ordered a three month subscription as a birthday gift for my sister. We have both been so disappointed. The boxes all shipped super late, the crafts themselves do not include quality materials, communication between CrateJoy and Craft in Style is terrible…the overall experience has just been bad. I would not recommend this subscription box.
I received a plant that was already dried-out. I don't know what to do with it.
EDIT: Customer service was excellent! I got a whole new box!
So my 1st box was a total fail! I HATE Chevrons and don't have any clue who to even pass the box on to!!!
I contacted customer service and they were amazing! They offered to switch the box for a custom-curated box, chose by me! I paid shipping for the return for the box, but was so happy I did!
My April box was replaced with a candle making box and May was a bath bomb kit! The amazing customer service alone has set them apart form other subscription boxes I've tried!
As far as the boxes, they send high quality ingredients, as well as step-by-step instructions for your boxes! Where I've seen fairly cheap, juvenile crafts in other, costlier boxes, and this box makes them look bad! I'm so happy with it, I'm actually going to get a gift subscription for my mother so we can craft across the miles!
Thanks, Pop Shop!
Absolutely loved my first box! I was able to do this craft with my niece and we had a great time making a bird feeder pinecone and bird seed basket.
Update: seller reached out to me after the refund was processed. She let me know that she doesn't always receive Cratejoy notifications and was not aware that I sent her a message and posted question. She offered complimentary boxes to correct the situation. I received the weaving + loom box. It's a craft that I'm excited to try and appreciate that there are multiple project options online. I just wish there were more materials in the box to be able to practice and more instructions in the box itself.
Older Post: Stay away! In January, I placed an order for the February box (loom craft). I was looking forward to receiving this craft. To date, I have not received anything!!! I contacted the seller, but they did not even bother to respond. I had to contact Cratejoy directly about this issue. The seller did not respond even to Cratejoy. Thankfully, Cratejoy was able to refund me the money.
Good boxes but did not receive all my boxes. Also did not receive an email before to know what was coming and to have the chance to change craft boxes.
Hi Kathleen, Unfortunately all your boxes show delivered. Tracking numbers are provided and emails are sent when orders arrive. If you think you are missing a package, please email us and we can help you file a claim with the shipping carrier.
Great projects, easy to follow directions and cute packaging!
I hate to do this because I’m actually trying to support small businesses, but this shop is a mess. I purchased several craft boxes directly from the shop’s website, but two of the boxes I ordered had missing items and damaged items. Totally understandable that people make mistakes (I had also ordered a 6-month subscription). At first the company seemed willing to help and replace the items but it has been over a month and still nothing. I didn’t receive my January box either, so I cancelled and asked for a refund. It wasn’t until I contacted cratejoy directly that I received that refund. I have contacted the company numerous times but still haven’t received the damaged or missing items and I assume I never will. I’ve never dealt with a company who cares less about its customers or who has worse customer service.
I love the crafts!!
