They've said it on their facebook wall, in comments to people asking about it. 

 
I saw it on their Facebook page, I also left a comment asking them what was the reasoning for the price difference and they have yet to get back to me... here is the link:

http://www.facebook.com/GlossyBox.com

I won the first box too, and might subscribe for the second but it my mind that's 2 Birchbox subscriptions -- and a dollar to save. Or a new shirt. Or about 2 dinners out. It seems high considering that the other countries don't pay that much (Check the comment below my comment on Facebook to see the conversion.)

All I can say is that they better make it worth it or they won't be very popular, especially in this economy and the competition they already are up against here.

Thanks guys! I haven't been stalking their facebook too much lately and this is what I get! haha!

 
maybe its so expensive bc we'll be getting items from other countries & they'll have to pass commodities check thing.. just a guess

 
Wow! $21 per month. I know the other countries have gotten good items... hope its worth it here in the US. Still excited though :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the brands on the international brands page are mostly american companies or at least companies that have huge american outfitters. So I dont get why they would mark it up that high. 

Plus our postal system is MUCH cheaper to send than any system in Europe. 

 
For some reason, I always thought it was going to be $22.  I was thinking about this the other day and I got that number because the brands that are featured in their boxes are more luxury brands and they wouldn't be as willing to part from products without having Glossybox pay a higher price for them.  Or it could because the brands they hope to feature are foreign like Lancome (based in France) and Burberry (based in Britain) and so they're factoring in the international markup.  Plus, I guess they justified the steep cost  because they saw that women were willing to spend $20 on Julep which is only nail polish.  Not going to subscribe since i already have two subs.

 
Very true.. Does anyone know where theyre headquarters will be for the us?

not sure where their shipping hub is but their office is in NYC.

I didn't win a box....yet...seems like they are still doing a few giveaways with youtube chanels etc.

I'll give them a try for a month or so and then make my decision on what to keep/drop

 
Ugh, not worth it. At least to me. It's 10pounds in UK, why bump it up here? For $15 I can find it reasonable even though it's still a bit expensive to me, but that $6 extra is gonna make a huge difference when the subs piles up. You pay $72 extra within a year for $21/month.

 
Does anyone know if Glossybox has a good rewards program? I mean we pretty much get back $5 from every Birchbox because of the reviews, and if you order something from BeautyBar you get your entire $15 back so that's how I justify those. I'm really tempted to subscribe when this opens, but $21 is pushing it for me.

 
Wow, $21?  I had to fight with myself forever to justify a $19 Conscious Box, and I only decided to do it because it has products for all different areas of my life. But I think $21 for a beauty sample box is going to be way too high for me :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here - I debated with myself for a few weeks before going for the Conscious Box - January and February was okay, March sucked, and this Month looks fantastic - but $21 for the GlossyBox - I would hope that there is one full size product per box for that price. With the Conscious Box, I was able to justify the purchase due to the products being health, beauty and food in one box. 

I will still subscribe for the first box in the paid subscription, but the first box or two will be critically judge - just because of the price.

Yeah, I'd still like to try one box...but if I kept it, it would have to take the place of either Conscious Box or Birchbox...Conscious Box replaced Sample Society, and that one was awesome...so for $21, this one better be AMAZING.

This is one I'm VERY thankful I get to try the first box for free. If it is 21 dollars awesome, I'll give it a go for one (paid) month. It will take the place of myglam and one beauty army sub for me. Since you can skip on BA though, I probably won't cancel, just skip. 

 
21.00?!?! I'm so glad I won a box. I just signed up for Birchbox and Myglam... I'll more than likely subscribe to Glossybox also so hopefully like everyone else has said, this better be worth it. I'm still really excited though!

 
$21.00 wouldn't be bad, considering the brands they receive. One or two full-to-half sized products will more than pay for it, and it looks like they're usually 5-6 samples. I'd always rather pay a bit more for better quality boxes. Sure, it might be twice as much as a Birchbox, but I'd rather get the products in Glossybox anyway. I think it'll truly be more along the luxe lines.

 
Are the samples at least deluxe sized? I really want to try this one even though I'd be pushing it. I cancelled some of my other subs so I'd only be spending about 50$ on subs total now if I sub to this one which isn't bad..right? Is that bad? From what I've heard this one would actually be worth the price. Does anyone know if this is more beauty or skin care oriented? I really don't need any more skin care which is why I gave the others up so easily. So now I just have BB,CB and waiting for this one.
