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.

I really think this stuff is Rigged
I really think this stuff is Rigged. Bought 3 boxes of nothing but junk.
Great place for a fun experience
We bought 2 boxes from Porch Pirates and it was so much fun. We didn't win either of the big prizes but the box was worth way more than we paid. We loved them. The staff was so helpful and kind. We will be going back SOON.

I bought 4 boxes and it was so much fun to see what was in them! I didn’t get a big item but I got some cool stuff… some home goods stuff which was awesome. The staff there is amazing. I will be back one day 😊
I keep going back for more
I keep going back for more. It’s like a box of fun. Sometimes I get things I want/need/like sometimes I’ll get a couple items I don’t but I love the mystery behind the boxes.

We had so much fun going through our boxes and got a winner! Will do again!

We got all kinds of cool random things and a lot of things that we could personally use! It was a fun experience. Would deff do it again!
Candle making kit, king bed set (which I was about to go buy) a dog jacket for our huge dog which we had issues finding, work shoes, wind chime, storage totes, arts & crafts, the cutes pink Christmas tree with lights & presents. Sooooo many things were in my 3 box order.
I had them delivered.
Eh it's ok.
We traveled almost 1 hour and 30 minutes one way and was hoping to get a gift for our son. We spent i believe over $400-$500 just to hope for a Xbox or a nintendo switch 2 for a birthday gift. Unfortunately our boxes didnt have anything we could use except knick knack stuff that I just will take to goodwill. It was fun and the noise in the box and weight did not matter. At the end of it though we wasted money that could have went toward his gift.
Awesome!
We went in on a day they were technically closed, the staff was super helpful and great at explaining everything! We walked in just for the experience and walked away with an IPad! We enjoyed it so much we’ve gone back multiple times! It’s such a fun and cool idea, I love it!
Bought two boxes from the new Lexington…
Bought two boxes from the new Lexington location. Two boxes of crap. 😂 it was a huge disappointment and every single item went in the trash. Not a single thing worth keeping. It was hilarious. Very disappointing. Don’t waste your money! Buy a mystery box elsewhere. Or just go to the dumpster and throw your money in there.
I FINALLY received the very first box I…
UPDATE: it is now July 9th, and I have still not the received the last box I ordered, nor has the money been refunded. I’ve also left more messages and have not received any replies. I have never ever had such a horrible customer service experience in my life… this is ridiculous! If I was able to give a negative amount of stars, that’s what they’d get.
I FINALLY received the very first box I ordered on October 26, 2025! Almost 5 months after I ordered it!!!! Seriously! FIVE months after I ordered?!?! And, talk about total CRAP in the box... seriously PorchPirates... what the hell?!?! There were three whole things in the box... 1 was a 2-pack of iphone glass protector sheets (valued at $5.98), a 24-piece set of Fall Party Favors - for CLASSROOM hanging party decor (appx. value of $13.99) and the final item.... a 24-piece velvet Christmas bow - very ugly color - (appx value of $12.99) --- I spent $37.95 on that box - and it contained crap worth about $33.... I still have one box they owe me... I'm curious to see how much longer that one will take... and what CRAP will be in it too...
One piece of advice... you are ORDERING AT YOUR OWN RISK! Just don't do it. I wound up cancelling my 'subscription' due to lack of communication, a bunch of lies regarding my order - WHEN I got a reply... and the length of time to receive what I paid for. Which so far has been junk!
Boxes!!! Love These
I got useful things valued way over the cost of the box, and got my first two last week. And so much fun to open. Ordering more tonight!
I’ve seen some really nice beauty…
I’ve seen some really nice beauty products in these, as well as jewelry. Plus, the chance for a Michael Kors purse is always a nice bonus.

Made an order for $1200 3 months ago and never received ANYTHING or my money back!!! Have called, emailed, and reached out on messenger with no response!!!

Bought 240 boxes for our retail business. 99% of the items were the same cheap target case pack items. Less than 2 lbs per box, lots of bad customer feedback. Save yourself
Ordered 5 boxes
Ordered 5 boxes, and received one. Zero response from Customer service regarding the other 4. Shipping shows only one sent, the rest have been ordered but not shipped. (and of course paid for)
On Dec 22
On Dec 22, 2025 I purchased multiple boxes-9 to be exact for a corporate event. I have not received tracking, nor have I received a response to my phone call or email. I did receive a response from a Facebook message saying they would be shipping soon. That never happened. I’ll be disputing it with my bank. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
