At Porch Pirates, we believe shopping should be exciting. That’s why we’ve created a unique mystery box experience where every order is a surprise waiting to be opened. Our boxes are filled with a wide variety of authentic merchandise sourced from major retailers and overstock, liquidation, and customer-return inventory. Every box is assembled by hand, making each one a one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you’re hoping to discover electronics, gaming gear, designer accessories, home goods, toys, beauty products, collectibles, or everyday essentials, every mystery box offers the excitement of the unknown. Many customers enjoy sharing their unboxing experiences online, and we’ve built an enthusiastic community around the thrill of discovering what’s inside. We are committed to transparency and customer service. Every product is sold as part of a mystery experience, and customers know exactly what they’re purchasing—a sealed mystery box with randomized contents. We clearly communicate our policies before purchase and continually work to improve our customer experience based on feedback. Since launching, Porch Pirates has fulfilled thousands of orders for customers across the United States while also operating a retail location where shoppers can experience our mystery boxes in person. Whether you’re buying for yourself, searching for a unique gift, or simply enjoy the excitement of surprise, our goal is to deliver an experience that’s fun, memorable, and different from traditional online shopping. Our team appreciates every customer who chooses to shop with us, and we remain dedicated to providing responsive support, fair policies, and an exciting mystery box experience with every order.

Repeat Customer!!!
I purchased 2 mystery boxes—one pink taped and one classic liquidation box. Everything in the boxes was high quality and fun products.
I work in health care and took the products to our CNAs for CNA week and let them pick out their goodies. They were thrilled. I’ve ordered another box and can’t wait to see what I get!!

Items were a 10 but the delivery time a 1.
The last order of 2 boxes one box was a 10 the 2nd box was a dud. 6 items of trash. Paper sombreros, a thin bath towel a waist trainer a part for a air conditioner, I can't remember the other two items.. All for 60.00 so Id love to be compensated. Im not a complainer, I just want what I pay for. Thank you.
Not worth it!
Took forever for my box to arrive. Then all that was in it was a broken printer, an open box of breastfeeding pads, a shower chair with parts missing, a rubber ball, a door lock, a journal book and a cheap sling bag purse. Definitely one of the worst Mystery boxes I've ever received. Disappointed 😞

I am extremely happy with the product that porch pirates provide. I have ordered 3 times.
When they initially came out
When they initially came out, I bought one for my son, and it soon became one of his favorite playthings. He kept returning to it since he was having so much fun with it. It also works well as a party favor or birthday present. For children who like engaging, hands-on activities, I would unquestionably suggest it.

Love it. Just got our second box
Just got our second box, love the variety. Didn’t get a high ticket item but just got a $300 toaster in our wildcard box. Shipping was much faster the second time around, support was excellent. Best mystery box company we’ve dealt with.
Issues has been solved
Taking so long to give me my money back after they canceled my order and now won’t even email me back. This was only my first order and my last. I’m sure there’s better companies to spend your money on. Update: owner called me and the issue has been solved. Thank you for calling me.

Shipping was not as promised
Shipping was not as promised, but we got that straightened out
I ordered the rainbow box
I ordered the rainbow box. I got a message from SHOP for when it would arrive. When it did not arrive I called your customer service line and was told you all had been shown so much love that you were overwhelmed however I was not being scammed. A few days later much to my delight the box arrived. It was so much fun opening it. All the items were useful, clean, and intact. I used the items for my family reunion silent auction. I was very pleased. I posted everything on Facebook and had several people say they were going to order now that they saw it was the real deal. The only suggestion I have is when you do recieved an order that you could give an expected delivery due date. I was so happy with my first box I ordered another on June 11 and am still patiently waiting.
The communication was wonderful!
