How about a circuit-only subscription for non-US people or those who already have parts (or easy access to some)? This could make for a good school club/activity.

You want to pay for something that is FREE in every library? Dont you have hobby electronics magazines in your country? or electronic kits?
People sell this sort of thing all the time even though you can find it for free if you know what to look for - it's the curation you're paying for.
As someone who works for a SaaS and pays for a Barkbox subscription, I do think the idea is good, but the pricing combined with the lack description on the page is probably going to be a huge road block.
The only killer value here is the material and there's little of that on display at the moment. What appears to be there is stuff you can find for nothing on the web with a little googling ( http://allaboutcircuits.com/ http://electronicsclub.info/ for example) The parts are worth little to nothing; less than $30. You can get bagged kits from bitsbox.co.uk with everything you need for $24. I can't see the value propo…
Given the price of the parts I'd strongly consider offering the first month free, or at most for the cost of shipping. I just don't see too many people parting with $20 based on a landing page + no social proof. I could be wrong though...
Is there a way to see international shipping prices or is it US only?
The FAQ says they're Canadian and they ship overseas. But you are responsible for customs, import duties, and local taxes if any should apply. To get to the FAQ and other information: Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on "Terms".
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it would be a very good idea for them to get some prominent bloggers to do a review of the first kit.
Maybe just have a breadboard as an add-on or a separate item? I'd be fine never getting a breadboard in any of the kits.
I'm having trouble with the order form, however - it doesn't seem to be loading at all, clicking 'Subscribe' does nothing for me.
I'd give you more diagnostic info but I'm occupied at the moment - perhaps later. In any event thanks for sharing and best of luck.
