FrenchBox [Spoilers]

[sparklesgirlxox]

this is my third box and it is terrible. I would love the mirror of the booklet.  I got a second  missiu bracelet same color as the first one   perfume sample  foundation sample and lido magnet no bag charm.       I got the mask too.  The coffee and mask are only real items. The samples get me really mad that they put them  in the booklet you can get them for free .  A 12 dollar retail value for a magnet???   I am cancelling and writing to  them. I do not like the box variations. I wanted the mirror.  I have been with them since the beginning and them sending me repeats is wrong.

@  I don't blame you for being upset! The perfume, magnet and foundation packet are definitely freebies that they probably got for nothing, to fill out the box. (Trust me, you're not missing out on the phone charm, but at least that and the magnet may be worth the 12 dollars!)

And I would be upset if I got the bracelet, too, since as you say it's a repeat. 

I hope you do write to them, and let them have a chance to make it up to you!

I did write to them

I told you so! This kind of masks are the best /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have also a very good one from Origins, "Drink up", the same rub in and stay for whole night. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Taking a break from Glossybox so I finally signed up for this one. A little change from the norm. I think I liked the first boxes better than November's, but there are a couple of items that will make good stocking stuffer gifts. Hoping they will include more Sothys items in the future!

Can someone please post a pic of the phone charm and magnet?? Just want to see what the other options were. I got the compact and notebook so it seems I lucked out..

I was not as impressed this month either. I have a k-cup machine so I'm going to try the coffee in a french press.. ironic I guess.

 

[JolieFleurs]

@@Barbie Allen  I did get the mirror; I think one either got the notebook or the phone charm and a magnet.

I have yet to figure out how to post a pic, but here it is on the Lido website... second one down. I got the gold one:

I just got a sweet letter from Ben . He said he got a lot of mail from the people who did not get the mirror .  He will be making a solution to this and told me to stay tuned.

@@sparklegirl Which email address did you use?!  I emailed them days ago about something else but no response yet.

I'm debating emailing about the ruined notebook but I can't decide if I care enough at this point.  They are obviously deluged with complaints (and should be, imo, repeats are unacceptable!).

I hope they realize now they can't just throw crap in a box and expect people to be happy.  The fact that this is happening so early is a little concerning.  It makes me think they are still scrambling for vendors.

I don't think they thought they would have gotten so many subscribers in such a short time. I think within 24 hours of the announcement of this box on MSA, they said they had over 2,000 subscribers. Its probably kind of hard to find 5-7 products, over 2,000 of each, in such a short amount of time.

That may not be the case, just my thoughts. But if it is, this is why I think some subscriptions should have caps on membership. Especially a new one, you're just getting your feet wet and have to build relationships with these brands. I don't know, hopefully next month gets better.

Have you all heard of OuiPlease? Way out of my budget, but its a bi-monthly subscription that also features French brands. A bit pricey at $150 for the monthly option, but people are already signing up.

I just started a thread for that one:

Ok.. I'd be kind of upset if I got a little cell charm also. I'm not saying this notebook holds magical qualities but... yeah it's still better than that.

Plus hearing people got a second eifel tower bracelet... yikes. I didn't like having one of them, let alone two!

For those of you that didn't receive the mirror.....

I received an email from Frenchbox asking if I wanted to receive the pocket mirror. You have to confirm that you want it for them to send it to you.

 

[Saffyra]

It's good to see they're trying to make it better.  I finally got a reply to my email today.

On another French note, I did sign up for the OuiPlease box...  Ridiculously excited for that one, too!

Does anyone know/has anyone heard or asked when the December box will be shipping out? I need to know if I should feel nervous or not. 

 

[MissKris17]

Their FAQ says we should receive our boxes between the 10th and the 20th.

I'm curious too. This is my first month & I haven't heard a peep from them about December shipping yet.

 

[Saffyra]

Ships tmw on the 15th. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
