We’ve just hit a year of sending out Rue Morgue Coffin Boxes, and it has been one of the most exciting years for Rue Morgue and HorrorPack. We’ve commissioned some really great T-shirt and Pin designs, found a lot of cool and unusual horror items to send to you, and sent some amazing editions of Rue Morgue Magazine and HorrorPack Blu-rays. We’ve also learned a lot about merchandising, licensing, and boring stuff like logistics management and international payments.
It’s been a blast, but after a lot of thought and consideration, we’ve decided the time has come to end Rue Morgue’s Coffin Box. We’ll finish out by shipping the March box, and we think it’s one of the best ones we have put together.
We do want to provide an explanation as many things factored into this decision:
Shipping costs and logistics were a huge problem. Like most subscription boxes, we subsidize shipping… often by a large amount. We’ve had a number of problems with DHL and we’ve been actively looking for another shipping provider. We thought USPS might fill that role for us, but the USPS rate increases at the start of this year really had a negative impact on that plan.
Additionally, the quality of horror products we could supply at $19.99 for 4 to 5 items also proved difficult. We did everything we could to bring you the best value and selection, and while we are happy and stand by our selections for each box, we could not please everyone. We’ve spent a lot of time on this, and we don’t feel like we can continue to deliver the quality of box we want to at that price point, and we don’t want to raise prices on our customers.
For our current Coffin Box subscribers, there is nothing you need to do. You will NOT BE CHARGED again. All subscriptions have been canceled and will not auto-renew.
We hope you will continue on with a subscription to Rue Morgue Magazine (see below), and/or choose to subscribe to a DVD or Blu-ray HorrorPack Subscription.
