Glossybox December 2012

Ok, ok!  Here are some pictures.  Please excuse my awful camera.

Yaaaay! Thank you so much for the pics! Looks like a great box

 

[Ashitude]

I am so excited to get my boxes. I got two this month. Love that silver ring! Do you know about what size it is?

I'm supposed to get my box 12/18-12/19.  Products look great, but I'm prob not renewing after my 3 mth sub and free box.  They have 2 mths to get their act together.

Ha ha, for your last photo, I was checking out your nail polish and was totally confused since it doesn't look vaguely grey though nice and sparkly.  Then I realized you were modeling the ring!  LOL.

Your box is exciting me! Now I definitely can't wait to receive mine. And thank you ladies for giving me and I'm sure others hope that a lack of a shipping confirmation does not mean it'll be the end of the world. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine are supposed to arrive on the 27th, although I have yet to get shipping emails on either of them.  I only know they were shipped because I went digging into my account because I was already logged in after finishing my surveys.  One of these boxes was originally going to be my sister-in-law's Christmas present.  I ordered it in *November* because I truly thought they would be sending these out pretty much immediately.  If I hadn't been poking around in my account, I wouldn't know they had been shipped.  I see a problem here.  I'm really, *really* glad I decided to also get a certain item from Little Black Bag once it came up in trading for me and cross my fingers in the hope that it would arrive in time.  It got here Wednesday, well before I thought I had any right to expect it to arrive.  

The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get about this, although I'm not one bit surprised, and once I actually get the boxes in hand, an Outrage Letter will be headed their way since these were promoted as boxes to give as presents.  This time of year, that means *it will arrive before Christmas Day* to me.  If it doesn't get here on time, it's useless to me, at least for the purpose I bought it for.  If they are specifically selling boxes as a gift-giving item, they should have those boxes all prepared -- separate inventory for this promotion, sent out separately from the regular subscription boxes -- and ready to go out with at least a week padding before the expected delivery date and Christmas.  At this point, I'm now expecting to keep both boxes, so I hope I receive two different boxes so I don't have product overlap.  At least I only paid ten bucks for the second box.

(I used to run a shipping/receiving department for a cell phone company.  We used to ship a *lot* of cell phones as presents this time of year.  Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, shipping becomes a royal clusterfuck.  Even with FedEx overnight guaranteed delivery the rest of the year, that went out the window the last three weeks of the year.  No company that expects to maintain any sort of decent reputation would wait as long to ship *gift boxes* or use a method that moves as slowly as GB did.  I don't know why I'm surprised, but I do actually find that I am.  On the other hand, their reputation isn't exactly the best, so they probably don't care since they don't seem to care about anything else they do that hurts them.)

I agree!  I did not receive any shipping emails either, and I am waiting on three boxes to come this month.  But, when I log on the glossybox website I can see that it has been shipped, however the shipping information is not available yet, which makes me wonder if I will get mine in time for Christmas.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

For those of you ladies who have received your boxes, have we seen any variations in the colors for the Zoya polishes?

Also, I got that EXACT Oscar Blandi spray in my birchbox last month so that does nothing for me.

I'm sooo sad I just bought that Zoya colora few weeks ago!! I hope they are sending out other colors !

I am seriously obsessed. I also want a ragdoll kitten, but his best friend/cofounder/roommate is deathly allergic, so we'll have to live together alone before I can get a kitten. (Not likely soon since we are in SF, where the second and third bedrooms only cost like 5% and 10% more than 1 bedrooms)

So cute!!! and I would so want all of them!! Super cute, I have a huge list of doggies I want /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have a beagle and I haven't seen my baby in a bit over 2 months :'( I miss him so much!!

On the glossybox subject, my gift one is in NJ too, so another week or so for me too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And on the one with 40% off code, there's no info at all :S

awww my kitties and golden retriever are at home with my parents where they have a backyard and a huge house to play around in. As much as I would want to bring them with me, they are too at home there, I would never rip them from that. I miss em terribly though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yep, a ring in the box.

 

[Nikki Apostolou]

mine are due to be here i think monday or tuesday after seeing the spoiler, which i never look at for glossy, i am so happy! Just hope that those items are universal in everyones box.

 

[lovelockdown]

The last box I recieved from them was in July and also had a Zoya nail polish. I didn't realize how common nail polish was given out in subs until I started reorganizing mine this weekend. I am not complaining though!! I am hoping for the color "storm" as well. Super pretty color.

 

[martianeskimo]

Ugh I never got a shipping email and now that I checked it seems like my box wasn't sent at all. Complete suckage. Should I try to email them? I don't know what to do because I was really looking forward to this box.

Only 2 of us have received our boxes so far, so there is hope!

I think it is a size 8.  I usually wear a size 7 from them, so it only fits on my dominant hand. I am loving it though!

Thanks so much muse girl for posting pics- you Rock!!!

I don't think anyone has received on yet, look on your account on glossybox and see if you have tracking info. I wouldn't stress cuz this is still really early to get a glossybox I usually get them near the end of the month. For the people complaining about them not sending your box immediately how are they supposed to know the box is a gift??? I think the whole idea was to sign up as a gift subscription therefore you would get it sent to their house not your own...

Good points.

They had a special price for the gift box. It shows up differently in my order history. That should be enough for them to realize that the boxes ordered under that code/price is intended as a gift. Yes, I had it shipped to me -- because in-person gift giving is the tradition in my family. We do not have presents shipped.

Yes I too purchased the extra box because it was cheap.. but with that being said I didn't expect it to ship early by any means. I think they may have mislead some people by the wording of "gift box" which they really should have called "gift subscription" because thats what it was.
