What is Subscription?
In short
A subscription repeats an order on a schedule, so delivery frequency and the shipping fee become part of what you compare.
A subscription means the brand bills you and ships on a repeating schedule rather than on a single order, so delivery frequency and the shipping fee both belong in the comparison. All five brands here sell this way: Abel & Cole, BalticShop, Bean Box, Bokksu and ButcherBox, each listed as yes. Before you sign up, check the cutoff for skipping a delivery, since that is what decides whether a fixed rhythm suits your household.
