Although it was a smidge too expensive to continuously subscribe, it was a fun exciting experience and got a bad a$$ speaker. Was easy to cancel subscription also

Surprise tech/gadgets and good value
The gadgets are great especially when the fun is not knowing what’s in each box. Could be amazing or something that you can gift if wanted.
Can seam expensive but for then price you do get some good fun tech/gadgets.
Very much worth doing 👍🏻

Nifty little speaker
The gadget I received, a small Bluetooth speaker, came quickly. Was a little complicated to connect to at first but works great and has a surprisingly long battery life.

Really scammy
Really scammy, there is no way this lot is worth the subscription. Just went to leave a review and the first review I find is exactly my experience. Wireless speaker in the first box. Another wireless speaker in the second box+a finger holder for the phone+a wireless charger .... how is this a discovery club??
Awful Awful Awful !

DUPLICATES, CHEAP PRODUCTS AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM COMPANY.
I bought a trial box, got a Rise Boom 2 speaker like everyone else which I already knew beforehand from reviews and wasn't too fussed. I signed in to cancel but they offered £20 off so for a punt out of curiosity I ordered an individual tech box.
Wow.
Absolute fail.
I received the same Mini Boom from the trial box, complained of course and they came back with the excuse they send duplicates of these because they pair up. Ha!
If I want to return the duplicate I have to pay out of my own pocket for shipping.
I also received;
A phone finger grip, you know, the exact same things you can get in a pound shop. Apparently that's a gadget now and worth an astonishing £12.99!
A single, wireless charger with worse specs than the budget one I already have that cost £5.
Apparently that is worth £52.
These boxes are worth no more than £25 tops and even that is pushing it.
Despite sending me duplicate items and items that don't match what they're advertising.
Company is uncooperative and refusing to arrange a refund or an item swap.
All in all unless you hate money and love lots of Mini Boom speakers, avoid!!

Not at all worth it
To be honest seems like everyone gets the mini speaker which you can find online for £5. Literally that was the only thing in the box. Nowhere near £100. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Tried it but its a deffoz no for me. Not worth any money or your time or effort.

Do Not Subscribe
Claims box contains at least £100. Contents contained much less than that!
Writing this review of behalf of my spouse who purchased a subscription.
EDIT: reply
We searched all the products and they came to about £70.
We have emailed for a refund and to cancel the subscription and no one has replied.

Hi Earl, thank you for your recent positive feedback, it means a lot to us, and we’re very excited to hear that you’re enjoying our products.
Rip off
All that was in the box was a portable speaker. One you can buy on Temu for £6.
Not worth the subscription cost at all.

Hi, thank you for your review. It sounds like you received our trial box, so not our full $99 quarterly box. The trial box includes one gadget so you can get a taste of our full subscription - I'm sorry if that wasn't clear!
Not really worth the money
Tried the £10 trial box, and all I got was a small Bluetooth speaker (which can be had from Chinese shipping sites for about £5-6. Needless to say, it hasn't enticed me to resubscribe. Also, I don't like the fact you have to subscribe quarterly.

I love the idea of a random gift
I love the idea of a random gift. Also because I know I have already put a budget on that impulse buy or "let me get something to cheer me up" so I don't spend more. The feedback that I would give is to say, find a way (app/email/webapp) that allows the users to change/customise/pick what they are going to get... so maybe this quarter I am more interested in sound ... or camping or etc ... that way you can source more applicable products ... as there has been a few items that I have received that are not useful to me at all. Even in that case maybe have a process to swap .. or even have the ability to refuse so you don't spend time sending it out ... To be honest even if it's the same set of things you can pick from ... so if I don't pick the tablet stand this quarter ... maybe next quarter if you still have them I might have a need for it.

Missing order
I have ordered a subscription for a gift. It is showing as expired on their website and despite contacting the company 3 times I have still had no reply. All I get is an automated message saying someone will be in touch and then nothing happens. I have no idea if/when it will turn up.

Hi, I apologize for the delay in our response to your recent inquiry. Our system labels this type of package as 'expired' in reference to the renewal status. Gift plans don't renew at the end of the term, unlike our 'active' packages that do renew. Please reach out to us at support@gadgetdiscoveryclub.com if there's anything we can do to help. Thanks for your feedback!
Definitely a bad experience for me
signed up to trial through gener8. sample sent. almost immediately another £82 taken out and some unusable stuff dumped in my dustbin by the dwlivery company sent.. i cannot cancel or refund as my account isnt in existence but money is being taken out. I need a refund and want to return the bogus stuff sent. complained to gener8.. not a company with lots of clarity in its process

Great great company
Great great company. Great idea. Unfortunately I was probably one of the very very few that recieved products that are not compatible with newer spec phones. Other than that I love my littlest gadget and look forward to more
