Top-rated geek subscription boxes in the UK

Are you a geek living in the UK and unable to find a way to connect with your favourite books, characters and games? Well, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a list some of the best (and our top-rated) geek subscription boxes. that are available in the UK  

1. LootCrate

LootCrate is undoubtedly one of the most recognised subscription boxes available in the market. It was founded in 2012 by a group of self-confessed geeks and gamers, who created their first LootCrate on their love of big geek events like PAX and ComicCon. Now, LootCrate has over 600,000 active subscribers or “Looters” as they like to call them.

Price and Options

There are many geek subscription boxes that you can buy for £24 included delivery all over the UK but you can also buy cheaper geek boxes by subscribing to their recurring plan of 3, 6 or 12 months. If you subscribe to their monthly plan you get a free bonus and you get it £3 cheaper per box. It is always good to try it for some time before committing to these bulk month packages.

After the success, LootCrate has launched boxes in different niches such as Manga/Anime, PetCrate, Firefly Cargo Crate and LootGaming. On top of that they also have a range of limited crates such as the Star Wars and Call of Duty crates.

Summary

If we look at LootCrate it does offer good value to its customers and the majority of their boxes can be bought for over £40. You can use promo code RADARLOOT for a 10% discount.

2. Super Loot

Super Loot is a UK-based company. If you are planning to buy their monthly geek box which is full of exciting goodies it will cost you around £22.70 but if you use the code RADAR30 you can buy it for just £15.

3. My Geek Box

If you don’t want to spend over £20 then My Geek Box is just right for you, My Geek Box is a great alternative to Loot Crate and is cheaper than SuperLoot and LootCrate.
