When trying to eat healthy, one thing that always throws people off course is snacking. These days, so many of the grocery store snacks are unhealthy because they’re loaded with preservatives, sugar, and other ingredients that aren’t so ideal for your body. In some cases, you might think you’re eating something that’s good for you, but you could be terribly mistaken.

However, this doesn’t mean you have to give up snacking entirely and you certainly don’t have to settle for eating some bland snacks that you don’t truly enjoy. Instead, you can turn to a food subscription like NatureBox.

NatureBox is dedicated to making snacking easier by providing convenient snacks that are healthy and also tasty. With so many types of snacks available, they make it pretty hard to decide what you’d like to receive in your box each month.

Delivery

If you’re interested in purchasing from NatureBox, you’re likely wondering what their delivery area is. The company will send packages to all of the United States, United States territories, Canada, and to APO/FPO military addresses.

All orders over $25 that are being delivered to United States addresses will qualify for free shipping. However, addresses outside the continental United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and military addresses) will require a $4.95 USD charge for shipping. You can also choose expedited shipping at checkout. Orders under $25 will be able to choose two-day shipping for $15, while orders over $25 can be expedited for a cost of $10. Expedited orders are delivered via FedEx and is only available for street addresses and no P.O. Boxes.

Once an order has been placed, you can expect it to arrive on your doorstep within five to seven business days. A tracking number will be provided for your convenience so you will be able to track your delivery and anticipate its arrival. If your package is being delivered outside the continental United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Island, Guam, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, or Palau), you can expect your order to arrive in 10 to 15 business days.

Because all packages are shipped via FedEx Smart Post, the final delivery is actually made by the United States Postal Service. You will not be required to be home at the time of delivery and you will not have to sign for anything. Your postal carrier will decide whether or not it’s safe to leave your package. You can always let them know ahead of time it’s fine for them to leave the package and specify a location for its drop-off.

Packaging

Because none of the snacks NatureBox provides need to be kept cold during delivery, you don’t have to worry about dry ice or insulated packaging. And you also don’t have to worry about anything spoiling while you’re waiting for your delivery to reach its final destination.

Another great thing about NatureBox is that they have made their boxes are 100% recyclable. You can re-use your box in a variety of ways and the company even encourages you to check out ideas by using their #ReuseABox hashtag on Instagram. Feel free to get creative with how you reuse your box and share it with them!

The snack pouches they provide are not recyclable at this time though. You can, however, reuse them in any way you like because many of them are resealable. This means you’re able to keep them and use them for storage in other ways if you choose to do so.

Freshness of Food

Everything that’s contained inside your NatureBox delivery is guaranteed to be fresh. Each of their snacks is made with the best ingredients.

You can also view the ingredients for each of NatureBox’s snacks in their snack catalog. You’ll find a description of each item, nutrition information, and ingredients. The company partners with a variety of vendors to develop their snacks, most of which source their ingredients in the United States. However, some products do contain imported ingredients. No matter what, everything is promised to be high quality.

Each snack will have a clearly labeled “Best By” date on the back of its pouch, so you will always be able to enjoy your food before it expires.
