16 Editor-Loved Subscription Boxes and Delivery Services to Sign Up for ASAP

How Long Mackenzie Tested It: Three months

Recommended for: Coffee lovers, especially anyone who doesn't have access to great roasters where they live. It includes a lot of the bigger brands you've heard of, but has consistently good stuff and it's a fun way to find new favorites.

I first tested out Trade during lockdown when I started making coffee at home. They send bags from different brands like La Colombe, Counter Culture, and Portrait. You can set the frequency, and it's convenient. I ultimately canceled and just subscribed to Portrait because what Trade was sending ended up being mostly from roasters I can buy easily here in Brooklyn [New York] (though that probably isn't an issue for folks in less coffee-saturated areas). — Mackenzie Schmidt, Home and Travel Editor

How Long Bridget Tested It: Six months

Recommended for: People who want to learn from experts about a variety of topics. There are classes about music, sports, fashion, business, food, and more, so you can definitely find courses you're interested in. Overall, I would recommend MasterClass to those who find themselves browsing the biography, self-help, and nonfiction sections at the bookstore.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like watching TV shows and movies. I would much rather spend my time doing something productive. However, everyone needs to relax every once in a while. My favorite way to unwind is MasterClass. MasterClass offers more than 100 classes and adds new ones every month. I've taken life-changing courses from living legends, including Anna Wintour and Diane von Furstenberg. Who wouldn't want to learn life and career lessons from the best leaders in the world while relaxing in bed or soaking in the tub? — Bridget Degnan, Performance Content Writer

How Long Olivia Tested It: Three years 

Recommended for: Both makeup lovers and skincare enthusiasts as you get a little bit of both in each package. It's also great for beginners and experts alike!

As a beauty lover, there's nothing like getting new beauty products in the mail each month — it feels like a surprise gift for myself! I started out with the regular Glam Bag, which included around five small tester items each month, and then after about a year, I moved up to the Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, where you get around five full-size beauty products each month. I even moved up to the Glam Bag X, where every three months you get seven to eight full-size products. To me, it feels like I'm getting such a great deal because I'm only paying $30 each month for hundreds of dollars worth of high-quality products, ranging from makeup brushes and brow pencils to eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks. — Olivia Hanson, Ecommerce Assistant

How Long Samantha Tested It: Three weeks

Recommended for: Anyone who is trying to pick up a new language for the first time or someone who took language classes in the past but feels a bit rusty. The courses make it easy for people to learn the pace of the language and become familiar without those overwhelming lists of vocab words you'll likely never commit to long-term memory.

Though I used to think that learning a foreign language would be impossible on my own, Pimsleur actually made it super easy. The 30-minute audio lessons can be completed just about anywhere, so practicing daily didn't require any extra time out of my schedule. Plus, the classes are especially helpful for speaking and comprehension — I found Pimsleur to be way more effective than my previous two years of college French courses! — Samantha Jones, Performance Content Writer

How Long Jennifer Tested It: Four years

Recommended for: Anyone who loves fashion, wants to experiment more (break out of their typical style rut), frequent travelers (i.e. visiting a cold weather destination and don't want to purchase new gear you'll only wear once, etc.), and professionals who need on-point wardrobes without the financial burden. Also great for pregnant ladies — no need to buy a new wardrobe for a changing body. 

I've been a die-hard RTR member (and brand ambassador) for four years and can't imagine life without it. It's the perfect solution for someone with a fast-paced lifestyle who needs to look on-point for every occasion. I travel frequently, attend events nightly, and am often on camera, so it made so much more sense to have endless solutions that I didn't have to commit to. There's a huge cost savings (I'm never tempted to shop at fast fashion stores like Zara or H&M anymore to get my fashion fix), and I can live out my bold fashion fantasies without hesitation. They have unfortunately done away with the Unlimited Membership since the pandemic, but the current membership plans are still appealing and reasonable. It's eco-conscious and economical in the long run, and it's changed my mindset about shopping entirely. I only invest in basics I love (jeans, workout clothes, swimwear, etc.) and lean on RTR for just about every standout look in my closet. — Jennifer Chan, Ecommerce Editor & Writer

How Long Laura Tested It: Six months

Recommended for: Anyone who is short on time and looking for quick, easy, and nutritious meals. It's perfect for commuters, busy moms, or anyone who wants to upgrade their lunch routine.

I drink a smoothie every morning, so I love that Daily Harvest has a large variety of pre-mixed and pre-packed smoothies that I can dump right into my blender. It's so easy, and all you need to add is a little oat milk or coconut water. I also love their harvest bowls. They make for a quick, easy, and filling lunch. — Laura Denby, Product Reviews Food Writer

How Long Marilyn Tested It: Three years

Recommended for: People who want to get more into fitness and self care. (ClassPass now offers manicures and other self-care services as well!)

This is honestly the best subscription service, especially for people who live in big cities and like to test out different athletic classes. I used to go to boxing, yoga, P.volve, and even infrared saunas each month with my subscription for less than I would typically pay for a singular exercise class. It's also available in tons of cities, so it's great if you travel a lot. I stopped using it during the pandemic but am excited to re-up it again. — Marilyn La Jeunesse, Shopping Newsletter Manager

How Long Ariel Tested It: Three years

Recommended for: Anyone who loves to read (eight out of the 10 women in my book club subscribe) or as a gift for the book lover in your life.

I love that I get at least one brand new book every month, and I really look forward to seeing the options. It's affordable in that you get a newly released hardcover book for way less than you'd pay in a bookstore. I've heard of nearly all the books you get to choose from every month, so it doesn't feel like you're choosing between really obscure titles. They often have early releases from really big authors and a very cute merch store, too. Plus, being a member over time comes with cool perks like a free book during your birth month and a free credit toward a Book of the Year contender. It's a great gift for any reader in your life! They also have a really cute and user-friendly app.  — Ariel Scotti, Ecommerce Partnerships Writer
