FabFitFun Fall 2013 Box *Spoilers*

[NittanyLionGRRL]

My Birthday is this Friday... The 18th. Hopefully, it shows up before. This was my Birthday "splurge." The scarf looks so pretty. I have quite a scarf addiction. Excited to try out my first FFF box!

I just caved and signed up.  My confirmation said it wouldn't ship out until the week of November 4th, so maybe they are shipping in waves?  NittanyLionGRRL happy birthday, and I hope you get yours in time =)

I've been around since the first box, and I haven't received any shipping, either.

Same here, I just want this box! Lol I really want this box to blow me away so I can stay for the winter box.

I really want this box to blow me away so I can stay for the winter box. Ha, I have mixed feelings! On one hand, I too want it to blow me away. On the other hand, the part of me that needs to save money wants to be underwhelmed so I'll cancel.

But then again I really like having a quarterly box. But I wish there was more emphasis on fashion/lifestyle/fitness items, because I do have so many beauty subs. I need to find a quarterly lifestyle sub!

Has anyone gotten a shipping notice?  When I called they said east coast first.  I'm in the east coast.  Haven't heard a peep.  I didnt order right away but didnt order super late either.  I am not a huge fan of them basing it on when people ordered either.  We shouldn't have to deal with people getting theirs and us having to risk seeing the other boxes. I like to be surprised.  I will avoid spoilers as much as I can.

@dehemmi @yousoldtheworld @annifer - Nice to know we're not alone in this painful waiting game!!

                  

(^you ladies can pick which smiley you are, lmao^)

I simply do not understand why subscription services cite specific shipping dates then don't honor them. It just makes everyone crabby and frustrated and less likely to continue subscribing! I'm not talking solely about FabFitFun...it's just an annoyance of mine with these subscription boxes. I still haven't heard a peep from Ipsy about my bag (not that I'm excited about it...I may drop it altogether since they've gotten so boring lately). Ergh...I think I'm just feeling grumpy this morning.

What kind of items would fall under lifestyle? I know I wish we could see some workout videos or I have always wanted to try those resistance bands but they look like they would rip. At least the scarf is so much better than the sunglasses and jewelmint products. My sunglasses couldn't fit me or anyone I knew. They were so tiny and kinda crooked.

The kinds of things that are in Popsugar, mostly! Decor, gadgets, etc. I like accessories. Basically, I'd like another sub that focuses on other areas besides makeup and skincare, but since I already have Popsugar, I'd like a quarterly one...for budget reasons...

Yes, now I know what you mean. I am still waiting to see if either sub will be sending a candle! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I think they should try and do a fashion, fitness, beauty and lifestyle item in every box. That would be amazing! I love makeup but I do want to be introduced to new items for all aspects of life.

I love makeup TOO much, that's the problem! ha. I would so love a candle...or any kind of home item, really!

I've been eyeballing Fancy boxes, but they're a bit pricy for monthly for me. (

Hopefully this seasons box will be a bit more balanced. And I have been wanting to try one of those diamond candles? The ones that have a ring at the bottom of the candle!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And yes they really are, I try not to search for new beauty subscriptions lol.

I'm over this box already with their shipping policy and customer communications.  Best execution would be to get things in order, then send them out in batches so they all arrive around the same time depending on where they live (not when they ordered it) - unless it was just recently and past some cutoff date.  If you communicate a ship date, stick with it; if you miss it, communicate why and what the next steps will be.  Sounds like only a couple of people got shipping notifications - and it certainly doesn't sound methodical from what I can deduce from this thread (or that most people were shipped to on the 9th - even on the east coast). Guess Popsugar has certainly spoiled me.  But this is their 3rd box.  It should be figured out by now

I think my problem with a quarterly box is I want to to enjoy for the season. So ideally:

Spring in Beginning of March

Summer in Beginning of June

Fall in Beginning of September

Winter in Beginning of December

But it seems to be getting later and later. It has shipped:

Spring: End of March

Summer: Beginning of July

Fall: End of October

Winter: Three months from now means End of January!?!? For winter!?!?

And yes, most subscriptions tend to have terrible communication in terms of delays.

 

[nicepenguins]

I wonder if some of these subs get cheaper items if they buy later in a season and that is why this box is late. Like when popsugar sent out the benefit cabana bronzed palette last year after summer when it was on sale.

Hmmm, I'm still excited about the scarf, but frankly, I think we've gotten better boxes most months from PopSugar!  Not sure if I'm going to continue, but I do like the contents better than the summer box.
