December 2015 Popsugar Must Have Box *Spoilers*

[LadyGordon]

Ugh I wish my box would ship already, stalking PSMH and it just says processing and my FedEx account only shows the LE box which I will get Monday. But honestly I'm more excited for the December box, so come on and ship already LOL. Good to hear everyone's review's though!

Now I'm wondering if that Instagram photo is a hint for January or February!  Oh well.  I got my box today and the mug cake is gone- and it was fantastic!  Much better than Tastefully Simple's mug cakes.

I love the lipsticks! Also, I was able to get some gift tag stickers for Christmas cookie presents.  I couldn't figure out the best way to make the cookie recipients aware of possible allergans in the cookies I'm going to make (it's for my child's teachers, so I won't be able to tell them directly.)  I ended up ordering some square gift tag stickers in a cute pattern and having Tiny Prints print the names of common allergans (nuts, milk, etc.,) on the tags instead of a greeting, so my problem was solved.  All I have to do is circle the allergans that correspond to each cookie.  And, it will look cute. 

Loved this box.

Yesssssssss!!!!!!

YEAH, about time PSMH! I wonder why they waited to torment us?!? HA!

too bad i ordered one Dec Box yesterday as i do not need doubles! It is so confusing as on my account page it says my new gift of a 6 month sub would start on Jan 2016 and I emailed then right away with a screen shot hoping that they would honor the January start date for me and PSMH responded straight away saying NO way, jose!

Really so even though it says Jan it will start in Dec??? Mine says start date Jan....

I know I totally spent all my Cyber Monday money because I thought they weren't going to do it AND signed back up for December, but I can't pass up such an amazing deal obviously, so it went on the card lol! I'll get multiple boxes as well, but it would have been better if they would have let it start in Jan... At least the Dec box is really nice!

I am planning on gifting the jewelry box to my mom but now with that 6month deal looks like I can keep one for myself yipeee!

Mine said that too but after reading the comments in here I went back and its been switched to december oh well.  Not sure what the heck I m going to do with 2 of those bracelets (not a fan) but I am excited for another jewelry box and cake (nom nom nom)

totally! good point, I do love the jewelry box! I can only think of Mr. T now with that bracelet, but then that makes me laugh + happy! I have a feeling customer service people are probably at their wit's end as it can not be an easy job this time of year! School gets out this week so no way will I get in time for a teachers gift which would have been perfect!

No I didn't bother.  I don't really mind getting anotherDecember box everything but the bracelet is pretty giftable so it will be used.  I m sure PS is being bombarded with complaints right now so I ll leave them be I pretty happy they came thru with a code so I ll let it slide LOL

But here are some responses from their Facebook page:

If you purchase now, it will be the December box. Please know that you will receive two December boxes if you purchase an additional subscription as promotional codes cannot be used to upgrade subscriptions.

we're encouraging gifting for the Holiday season with this promotion!

Hi ladies, just to clarify, there's no way for us to go into your account as we don't have any of your account information. There was a bug at the time of purchase which resulted in your purchase beginning in January. As we are not selling January, we had the bug fixed so that it reflects the current month.

Since PopSugar generally ships with little to no variations, I might just cancel and sign up with the promotions they've just offered, paying full price each month seems silly at this point. Regular loyal subscribers don't seem to be rewarded in any way.

I was debating doing this too.  The extra dec box would make a great gift for a friend of mine who has been having a tough time.

Do we need to create a new account to do this?

I *think* you can just cancel your account and then resubscribe?  I don't know for sure I need to look into it tomorrow (when payday hits lol).

Yeah after I asked I saw on ramblings that you can use an existing account; it starts you a new subscription.  Now to decide if it's worth paying up front to save $35 and get a "free" extra Dec box rather than getting charged monthly.

I'd probably spend that much on my remaining gifts for the holidays, and I'd probably gift the second December box to my sister so it kinda saves me from having to shop/order her something.

I caved and signed up, Popsugar is so hit and miss for me, but $23/box you can't beat it. It's nearly the same as Boxycharm or Glossybox.

Weird, they can't change the account from December to January but can't change the account from January to December?  I bought because it was reflecting January as the first month shipment, but then they changed it after the fact to December and now I'm getting two December boxes.  I wonder if I can dispute that with my CC?  I did get a screenshot of my account showing January as my first box.

It would be nice to receive the box before I have to wrap gifts. I would like to use that tape, but doesn't look like that's going to happen. No movement at all on my box. I can't believe they are telling people who are getting 2 December boxes to gift them. At this rate they won't be here until after January!

PSMH usually has pretty good service.  I would be really surprised if they don't refund anyone who bought the deal because it said it started with January and no longer wants it because it actually starts with December.  Try resolving it through PSMH before disputing with your credit card. 

Based on what I'm seeing in various forums, I do think they are standing firm though and won't let someone start in January, even if that's what it said when you purchased it.  You'll either have to ask for a refund or be okay with getting a second December box.
