Gourmibox

What's in the box: The site does not detail box contents, but as a French gourmet service it is presented as a selection of French specialty foods.

Gourmibox is a subscription box for people who enjoy French gourmet food, and its main market is France. The idea is appealing: regular deliveries of French specialty products for food lovers who would rather not hunt through shops themselves. The trouble is that the site gives shoppers very little to go on. It does not clearly say what goes into each box, what a subscription costs, how often boxes ship or how to cancel. More worrying, visitors see a browser warning that a form is being sent over a connection that is not secure, so anything typed in could be visible to others. A subscription service will ask for your name, address and payment details, so this is a serious red flag. It may be a temporary technical fault, but until it is fixed we would not enter personal or card information. If you like the concept, check back later to see whether the site has switched to a secure connection and published clear details on contents, pricing and terms. Contact the company with any questions before you commit. For now, Gourmibox is hard to recommend over French food boxes that explain their offer clearly and make their checkout security obvious from the start.
