There was an article about Dollar Shave Club getting bought today and how it is a monthly box service. The article gave a slight hit at how boxes are now struggling given the low amount of Angel Funds willing to invest in them.

"Dollar Shave Club is one of the most prominent subscription-based start-ups, in which members receive a box of products every month. Hundreds have popped up in recent years, but many are now struggling amid a downturn in venture capital investment. Makeup service Birchbox has gone through two rounds of layoffs this year."

I just found it interesting given how everyone on here keeps saying how all these boxes are making tons of money and it's the wave of the future.

I will admit, I was against Zwagbox at first, a few showed me articles that made me reconsider my position, yet I am quickly swinging back after seeing how much competition there is in this market with boxes just like ours.
