Mystery boxes!

Anyone bought this before? If you have a quick review would be nice. Just a simple worth the cost or not so good would be nice.

Tempted but the last two years I have been focusing on products and tools I need when my stock runs low. I already did one day and replaced some buffer pads and a backing plate.
 
I've picked them up from autogeek in years past. I didn't think they were bad, but wasn't wowed. That's the nature of mystery boxes however. In my experience with mystery boxes, autogeek also tends to give most people roughly the same thing.
 
I purchased a couple of mystery boxes and I agree with Dr.Frosty wasnt wowed. I received mostly towels and small sizes of products.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Autogeekonline mobile app
 
As far as value goes, $195 worth of product for $100 is the best deal offered for mystery boxes that I have seen, other than the special winner boxes.
 
I can see how if you are a detailer you might not be that thrilled with small sample size stuff. For the weekend warrior though I thinks it’s different. I have just gotten into this world and don’t want large products. However, I would like to try things to find out what I like.

Is the $50 or $100 box typically preferred more?
 
I use Mystery Boxes to load up on stuff at a big discount. It works for me even with wholesale accounts that I have, its a better deal. And they always put stuff in them that everyone can use.
 
Mystery box was weak and did not even equal stated value. I have contacted customer service. They even sent a bottle of BOAT CLEANER WAX!!!! Why put boat cleaner wax in a mysterybox, that's ridiculous.

At least you got that expensive BF APC lol.

Was that the $100 mystery box or the cheaper one?
 
Unloading excess inventory on stuff that doesn't sell well. Doesn't look like $100 worth of products unless those are clay towels.
 
This mystery box does not equal the state value of $198.94.


Also, why include boat cleaner wax in a mystery box?!?!? How many people actually have boats? As opposed to how many of your customers HAVE CARS?!?!?

They are not clay towels.
 
Thanks for the heads up. Paying retail price for stuff you don't really want. Hope they send you something nice to make up for the shortfall. Won't even consider purchasing a Mystery Box in the future
 
It's a shame because i have great mystery box experiences with other companies. AG has so many products I expected them to put together a great MB! Adam's and even Chemical Guys do really nice boxes that are a great value.
 
I love the XL MF applicator, and I have wanted to try D4510. Duragloss and Stoner are always good. But I don't have ANY use for boat cleaner wax. And I am not thrilled with a $25 bottle of APC that is not concentrate.
 
AND the Duragloss Ultimate Detail Spray is actually for trim amd tires so they sent me 2 products (D4510 also) for the same thing- rubber and trim restoration.
 
Here's the response from customer service, VERY QUICKLY, I must add:

"Kirk,

Our sincerest apologies. Your mystery box is missing extra towels and all of the items were supposed to be shipped in a detail bag. We will have those missing items shipped out immediately and we will include a replacement for the fleetwax. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment and hope to..."

So a detail bag would make a pretty big difference, probably $50, and I am cool with a bag. Replacing the boat wax is good.
 
Glad they're trying to make it right. But this is the reason I didn't order it. If the mystery boxes were branded, i.e., a Meguiar's mystery box, Chemical Guys mystery box, etc., then I'd be all over it. But getting overstocked, mismatched, or unusable items just kill the opportunity.
 
The one and only time I tried a mystery box, I feel I got really lucky. I paid $50 for it, and after seeing so many others posting what they got, I wasn't exactly excited to get mine. I was floored though, when I realized mine was different. I got lucky! I ended up getting the Gyeon Maintenance Kit.
