It’s over a year since I last checked out TeeBlox, a US based service which ships a T-Shirt and some other small items to your door each month.
One thing I do like about this geek subscription is that the items arrive in a letterbox shaped plastic envelope. These fit through my letterbox so I don’t have to wait around to open the door when the post is delivered.
Another selling point for TeeBlox is that they choose from a selection of officially licenced T-Shirts. That means that there’s no guarantee that any two subscribers will get the same package.
You can also choose to theme your monthly subscription from a wide choice. I went with the Movies and TV Shows package, but there are plenty of others. I suspect that there’s some crossover between the possible themes as well depending what T-Shirts are in stock.
Shipping for this, in the light envelope, was fast, with the orders seemingly sent out near the beginning of the month.
I signed up for an annual subscription during a special sale, largely to offset the postage costs, which always make ordering international boxes less desirable to those of us in the UK. The standard pricing for this subscription is $25 USD (£20 GBP) when paid on a monthly basis.
There’s no information card included within the package which I guess is due to the unique nature of what every subscriber receives.
Box Contents
Star Trek T-Shirt
This is a cool design of Mr Spock on a traditional grey T-Shirt stock, very reminiscent of the original series.
I’m going to value this at the T-Shirt standard price I use, which is $10 USD. I do appreciate that many of these sell for more than this.
Kazar Comic
This is Kazar volume 2 #10, with a publication date of February 1998 and the words Urban Jungle on the front. The cover price is $1.99 USD.
This came bagged and in a condition that’s well looked after. It’s a Marvel series, but not one I know much about. Always a fun thing to have included in a box.
Second owner comics are harder to value. Looking at similar comics in the series, $1 USD sounds fair to me.
Captain America Badge
This is a single badge cut from a larger cardboard sheet.
I’m not that into receiving badges in geek boxes, but as a bonus alongside the T-Shirt, this works quite well. It’s a good character too.
I value this at $1 USD.

Box Review
Not quite as much in as the previous TeeBlox package I received, but that purchase was right when this first went on sale. Still, a good selection for a small envelope.
I make this $12 USD of value, which is below the standard price, although I did get a discount and I appreciate that branded T-Shirts do often sell for more than my standard valuation.
TV and Movies has led to one Star Wars T-Shirt and one Star Trek T-Shirt. So, this could also fit quite nicely as a Sci-Fi package as well.
As a starter package for a geek box fan, I think that TeeBlox will appeal.
TeeBlox has since stopped running, so the subscription link that originally sat here has been retired. You can still browse every TeeBlox review on this site.
