Because "Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience" (Albert Einstein) "
Our Mission
Boxx is on a mission to build a global catalogue of consumer made "Product Video Reviews" of every popular product in the world. By the Sharing and Receiving of Product Knowledge that encompasses an owner's experience with a product. Box can reduce the massive and growing scale of unwanted products being returned and the associated carbon footprint.
You can make a critical and proactive difference and gain cash rewards from Responsible Retailers:
Upload "Product Video Reviews " for each of the products you own. Where you bought the product is NOT relevant. We just need to see the product on screen and hear about your experience owning it. Authenticity attracts the largest audience.
Box works with Responsible Retailers who want to make sure that their Customers returns are as close to Zero as possible. Retailers on Box provide Rewards as encouragement for taking the time to watch Product Video Reviews as part of your decision making process of whether the Product is right for you or not.
Sharing and Receiving product knowledge with Box bridges the information gap between a product's description and the customer's expectations.
Environmental Impact:
Excessive Carbon Emissions:
Returning items requires additional, often inefficient, transportation ("reverse logistics"),
Economic Impracticality of reselling a returned product :
The cost of processing a return (as much as 55–75% of the item's price) can make it cheaper for companies to discard items than restock them. This means the Products are often disposed of in Landfills.
The Impact of Landfills
Greenhouse Gases: Decomposing textiles and organic materials in landfills release methane.
Pollution: Toxins and leachate from dumped products contaminate land, ground, and water.
Resource Depletion: High energy and water consumption (e.g., 2,700 liters for one cotton shirt) are wasted when items are immediately discarded.
Everyone needs to adopt the Box Culture:
For us ALL to succeed in collectively changing the shopping habits which have led to a massive global emergency. We All need to be evangelists for the adoption of the Box "Culture" - Box culture is New behavior of Sharing or Receiving verified product knowledge through our proprietary video review player, for a common goal. It's having a Different mindset for what it means to "Shop". Whether taking the time to watch a Product Video Review and asking a question to the maker or Taking the time to make a Product Video review and answering a question or two in order to aid Shopper's in their shopping decisions - You are enabling sustainable shopping. It has to feel natural, authentic and self-sustaining.
It doesn't matter if multiple people make a Product Video Review of the same product. Shoppers instinctively find the review videos that they connect with. Box provides them with choice.
So let's all be "Builder's " of our shared defences for People and Planet and dramatically reduce product returns for good.
Rewards from a Retailer can be spent with any Retailer on Box:
Every person who uses Box gains cash rewards from Box supporting Retailers. Whether Sharing knowledge or just Receiving. Everyone gains rewards for being part of our collective Mission against Product Returns. That's Money to spend with any Retailer on Box or send to a Friend to spend on Box.
As an example of how Rewards work:
"Sarah Jones makes a Product Video Review of her Nike Air Max that a responsible retailer on Box will fulfil orders for @£120 a pair. Box will pay Sarah £6 in credit for each Sale made from her Product Video Review. So let's say that over a period of time 40 pairs of Nike Air Max are purchased and NOT returned from Sarah's Product Video Review. Sarah will receive £240 to buy anything she wants on Box and will continue to receive £6 in additional credit for every additional sale generated from her Product Video Review. This is so for the lifetime of Sarah's video on Box.
The financial Rewards explained a bit more:
On behalf of Retailers, Box continually pays 5% of the transaction price from every Sale made from a product video review to the person who made the video review (as credit to Shop with Box). For transparency each video has a 1) a buy button integrated within the video player and 2) counters to show our community the number of views, sales, returns and by who each was made.
Alternatively, even if no purchases actually take place, Box will pay an amount of money per view for each product video review that is watched by more than "X" number of unique Shoppers as credit to Shop with us. The more people who shop with us, the fewer people return products, the more money Box has to share with our community. We will publish the amount paid per view on a periodical basis for transparency.
To clarify, Box pays for either Sales or Views generated from a particular Product Video Review. Whichever of the two will pay the most money to the person helping us in our Mission by making a Product Video Review. But we do NOT pay for both.
Product Video Reviews are generally either Positive, which may equate to many Sales or Negative, (raising concerns to encourage people NOT to buy if they share those concerns) which may equate to many Views.
Everyone who makes a purchase on Box and does Not return it, receives 2% of their transaction fee back towards shopping with Box again.
Brands/Retailers have the opportunity to engage and address negative product video reviews in order to remedy a problem and get their Products back on track to being something people want. Any verified issue and verified solution remains visible for transparency until no longer relevant.
Summary
Socially, Box is a place to share and receive product knowledge, read comments and engage in conversation around a particular product with your social networks or just with people in the Box community. Each element of Box works to make sure that there are No unwanted surprises when a product is delivered.
Humans doing Telephone Customer service the way it should be done:
Also something very important to us at Box. For each and every product we sell, we provide 24 hr Human customer service by telephone, for up to 30 days after the purchase of a Product. So that Shoppers are always able to gain the help and reassurance they need, when they need it.
Circular Economy:
Every product we sell on Box can be resold on Box for FREE, as a used item originally sold on Box with ownership history.
So get started and make some Boxx Product Video Reviews ASAP.
How to Get started on (Y)our Mission:
Start by making Product Video Reviews of the Products that you already own.
And, every time you buy something new, purposefully have in mind the making of a "Product Video Review" ASAP - when you have attained good product Knowledge to Share.
When a Shopper watches your product video review and decides to ask you a question. It will appear in your Inbox. We would really appreciate it if you can answer any questions and engage with the Box community.
We purposefully prioritise the Product Video Reviews of those who answer questions. Prioritisation increases the number of views you will receive, which means that you make a greater impact for our mission. This gives Shoppers more reason to use Box and gives the Box Mission the greatest chance of success.
