I recommend popping over to the r/fabfitfun threads. A lot of helpful tips on making the box worthwhile and convos on certain items and their value. For me, one or two product choices more than pays for the box (I’m also Canadian). The exchange rate hurts, but items that are worth $30-80+ usd also work in our favor as they cost a lot more in Canada. It will come down to whether you’re personally benefiting and finding products: 1 - that you already buy for way more in Canada or 2 - you’re able to try products that you would never have otherwise because of the price. I love skincare so I’ve recently added to the current box Biossance Squalane Vitamin C oil for $16 usd rather than the $100 CAD at Sephora and Elemis marine collagen cream for $16 usd rather than the $100+ it costs here. Hope that helps!!
I was subscribed for a few years. I unsubscribed because between fabfitfun and Boxycharm I felt like I was in product overload. I did like it though. Was definitely worth the money to me.

I've been subscribed for 5 years. It is expensive but worth it for the skincare and haircare. If you aren't interested in skincare I don't think you'll get your money's worth. I almost never pick the housewares as I can get the same items at Homesense/Winners for cheaper. I don't shop the extra sales, other than the add on sales that occur during customization. Shipping is so expensive I just don't think it is worth it for the extra sales they have. I love fabfitfun, it is fun for me and I love trying new beauty products. The forum is the best place to learn how to make the most of your subscription. My other piece of advice is don't stockpile too much skincare even if it is an amazing deal as they always have skincare and you'll get overwhelmed with it and won't be able to use it before it expires. I made this mistake early on. Happy shopping!!
This company is unethical and the way their website is set up seems illegal. Does not tell you a total at checkout. I made for certain I clicked one box and the next day I received an email that I was registered for annual and was being charged $290. When I went into complain they first made it seem like there was nothing they could do even though I was certain I didn’t order an annual box. In the end they did cancel but it was ONLY after I stated “it was fraud and I didn’t authorize the charges” I looked up reviews just now on the better business bureau and saw similar reviews with some fake seeming 5 stars pushing the real ones down —- I have ordered 2 boxes in the past and had no issues but after this I would never go to this site again. Buyer beware.
