Ranked side by side

Luxury mystery box sites, side by side.

reCOVET and thirteen live sites that sell luxury mystery boxes to US buyers, each described from its own website, terms and help pages as they stood on 2 November 2026.

reCOVET is the house’s own. Below the scores it comes first and the others follow alphabetically; where a site’s pages say nothing, this page says so.

The scores

Each site is scored 0, 1 or 2 on five questions about what it tells you, out of 10 in all. reCOVET and StockX Mystery Boxes share the top score, 9; Metadraw and MrLoot follow on 8.

How each question is scored

Probabilities. 2 if each item’s or tier’s probability is shown before purchase, at a place the site points to; 1 if the site claims they are published without saying where.
Floor or range. 2 if every box states its lowest value, its value range or the site’s margin; 1 if a range can be worked out from each item’s listed value.
Value method. 2 for a stated method with a named source of prices; 1 for a described basis without one.
Authentication. 2 if the site verifies items itself and says how, or names its authenticator; 1 if it says items are authentic but names no authenticator; 0 if it says nothing, or its own terms disclaim authenticity.
Operator. 1 for a named company and its city, state or country; a second point for listing the US states it does not serve.

Every score rests on the same pages set out below; where they say nothing, the site scores 0. reCOVET’s score is drawn from its Terms and site under the same rules. Equal scores share a rank, in alphabetical order. The scores measure what each site tells you, not the pieces in its boxes.

Also checked

Luxury Lana, a pre-owned boutique in Vancouver, hand-picks what goes in its mystery boxes instead of drawing it, so it has no place among drawn boxes.

On 2 November 2026 these were looked at and set aside: DrakeMall and MysteryBrand had shut; Luxedrop and Kingdrop pointed to parked domains; MysteryDrop and HEAT sat behind passwords; TroveDrops was a free beta; Beezie’s Luxury Drop was a single release of 500 boxes; Lootie sells streetwear and Clash.gg game skins, and REVL and HapaBox carry no luxury boxes; Rips by Triumph sells trading cards (side by side here). Unbox.gg, GOATbox.gg and BoxMadness turn away automated readers, and the archived copies of their pages did not hold enough to check.

Each fact about another company is taken from that company’s own pages as of 2 November 2026; where a live site turned away automated readers, an archive.org copy of the same page was used instead. If something here has changed since, write to support@recovet.co and the house will correct it.

None of these companies is affiliated with reCOVET. Their names are used only to identify them.
