TetherBox

Closed.The domain now leads to a domain-for-sale page; the service is no longer running. Monthly college care package service with a Belmont University partnership; no recent activity or closure notice was found.

What's in the box: The exact contents are no longer listed, but each box was a monthly care package for college students living away from home.

TetherBox is no longer operating, and its website now shows only a domain-for-sale page, so there is nothing to order. When it ran, TetherBox was a US monthly subscription that sent care packages to college students. It was the kind of box a parent or relative might set up to send support from home during the school year. The service had a partnership with Belmont University in Nashville, which suggests it worked with schools as well as selling to families. The company does not appear to have made a public closure announcement, and there are no signs of recent activity. If you had an active subscription, check your bank or card statements and cancel any recurring charges that still appear. Details such as pricing, plan lengths and shipping terms are no longer available. To send a student a regular package today, look for a care package service that is still shipping, has a working website and states its cancellation terms clearly. You could also build your own box with snacks, study supplies and a handwritten note, which lets you choose exactly what goes in and when it arrives.
