Our verdict
Loot Crate suits fans who would rather open a themed surprise box than pick each collectible, and entry pricing of $13.99 keeps the decision simple. Buyer protection and a named US company offer some reassurance, but delivery follows a monthly schedule and the contents stay unknown until the box opens.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of $13.99 keeps a monthly subscription easy to size.
- Buyer protection covers a missing or damaged item that gets reported in time.
- A monthly charge is simpler to budget than a run of separate orders.
Cons
- Instant delivery is not offered, so a box lands on the monthly schedule rather than when you want it.
- The store is operated from the United States, so a reader elsewhere deals with a US-run operation and its shipping terms.
- Buyer protection depends on a report inside its window, and any replacement depends on product availability.
Who it suits
- Fans of anime, games or major comic universes who like the items chosen for them.
- Collectors who would rather set aside a monthly charge than place separate orders.
- Readers outside the US who check their country sits on the shipping list.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want to pick every item before paying.
- Readers who need delivery on demand rather than on a monthly schedule.
Who runs it
Loot Crate is run by The Loot Company LLC, in the fan subscription box business since 2012. The store is controlled and operated from the United States, so the base for orders, deliveries and questions sits with the United States rather than with a partner reseller. Support runs through email, help centre and community, with a support address given in the terms for questions on an order, a delivery or a cancellation, alongside a help centre and the community for the everyday cases. For readers weighing a monthly charge, that means a named company, a stated home country and a written route for a problem. The practical shape of the service is the monthly cadence: a box lands on schedule, and support is where a missing or late delivery gets raised.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Loot Crate subscription cost?+
A Loot Crate subscription starts at $13.99 for a themed box, and a box arrives every month rather than as a one-off purchase. Because the plan runs on a monthly cadence, the same charge recurs each cycle until you change or stop it, so the figure worth weighing is the monthly one.
Can I pick what goes in the box?+
Not item by item. Loot Crate sells bundles of collectibles, apparel, figures and gear around a theme, so the contents stay a surprise until the box opens. What you do choose is the fandom the box comes from and how long you let the subscription run.
What kind of shop is Loot Crate?+
It operates as a bundle store: a curated box posted on a monthly schedule rather than a browsable shelf of items you add to a basket. The store describes a bundle of things you would not find on an ordinary shopping run, which suits readers who want the curation done for them.
Does Loot Crate ship outside the US?+
It ships to all US and APO/FPO addresses, and the country list runs well beyond that: 29 countries including the United States, Argentina and Australia is the full set, covering Europe, Asia and Oceania as well. Check your own country against that list before the first box is posted, since the subscription keeps billing until you stop it.
Which payment methods can I use?+
Checkout takes card, which covers the card choices most readers already hold. Amazon Pay is also listed for orders in the US. The card on file is reused on the monthly renewal, so an expired card or a closed account is a likelier reason a box does not ship than a problem with the box itself.
Who is behind Loot Crate?+
The store is run by The Loot Company LLC, which has been in the fan subscription box business since 2012. It controls and operates the site from the United States, so the company behind a monthly charge is a named one with a stated home country rather than an anonymous seller.
What if a box arrives damaged or missing?+
Buyer protection in the terms of The Loot Company LLC covers this: a missing or damaged shipment or item must be reported inside the set window to qualify for a replacement or refund, and the outcome depends on product availability. Keep the delivery record, because a report made after the window falls outside the cover.
