1/2 Star: Avoid buying Helix (or any mattress) from BoxDrop Austin.
I purchased a Helix Midnight Luxe from BoxDrop Austin to save some money, but the experience and policies were a major disappointment. I ended up having to use my old mattress topper just to make it sleepable, but I am leaving a 1-star review due to two major red flags:
1. No Itemized Receipt or Proof of Purchase
I received a QuickBooks invoice with just a total dollar amount and zero description of the actual mattress model. When I questioned this, they told me any future warranty claims would have to go through them instead of the manufacturer. Since this mattress has a multi-year warranty, that is a huge risk--if BoxDrop goes out of business, I have zero official proof of purchase to give the manufacturer. That is extremely unprofessional.
2. Hidden Return & Exchange Policies
Unlike buying directly from Helix (which offers a generous sleep trial and direct refunds), BoxDrop has no policies listed on their website. Verbally, I was told they offer no refunds--only exchanges for items of equal or lesser value after a mandatory 30-day wait.
My Advice: Spend the extra few hundred dollars and buy directly from the manufacturer. You'll get a legitimate receipt, a real warranty, and a proper sleep trial/return policy that BoxDrop simply doesn't offer. read more
