Subscriptions aren't open yet, but they will be sometime this month. Glossybox gave people the opportunity to win the first box by signing up via their website. So, this service hasn't officially opened up to everyone yet, the boxes you're seeing are the ones that winners received.

OH MY! I've been stalking this thread for a while and was wondering how long the waitlist would be, then remembered I never finished signing up! So I just finished setting everything up and already got a notice from Glossybox. In their email it says they're going to send me a box, free of charge! This is what it said in their welcome email: Test: Discover our beautifully curated beauty products at home. Shipment: Your GLOSSYBOX will be shipped directly to your home free of charge So, is this what you lucky ladies received when you were informed of winning a free box? I'm so excited, I had thought they were only having bloggers get boxes free of charge to demo and spread the word! Yay!

I'm pretty sure that's just their "welcome to the glossybox community" email, and they are stating that you won't be charged an additional shipping charge every month because its included in the $21 dollars per month that the subscription costs.

No, the winning box e-mail said specifically "You are a GLOSSYBOX Winner" in the subject line. In the body of the e-mail, it said "You have won the first U.S. GLOSSYBOX".  I am not a blogger; the winning boxes were randomly chosen winners for people who entered their contests. I'm sorry, I have to agree with PatriciaAO above, it was probably just the generic e-mail that you received, stating that shipping costs are not extra.

 
Has anyone received an invitation to sign up yet?  I know some lucky ladies got a free box but I was wondering about regular subscriptions.  It seems like they are really drawing out this whole process.

How do you review for glossydots??? im so lost lol

If you won a box, I don't think that you can review it for glossydots. I could be wrong, but I believe that those of us who won are not automatically signed up for an account, we just won a prize. So we would still have to sign up for the subscription and wouldn't be able to review for glossydots until we receive our first subscribed box. I won a box, but I do not show up as having an account on glossybox.com.

 
O wow.. makes sense and now I feel like a total dingbat lol! Sorry about all that... I guess I was having a moment and read too much into that.. well, then. This is a really long, drawn out process. Any ideas when they'll finally open up subs?

No, you were not being a dingbat, just wishful. I don't remember, but I have a vague idea that the subs should open up sometime this month, with the actual first boxes shipping in June? Correct me, ladies, if you remember something else.

Is that for Glossybox in Canada? If you received your box and it's not letting you review, you will probably have to contact Glossybox.
 
Yeah, I don't think many of us here are in Canada! So what was in the box?

It obviously looks great so far.  Glossybox has always looked great, but I'm a little flustered that it's likely that first promo box they sent out was a bit misleading based on the conversation between Pink Sith and GB.  I'm going to give it a go, but I think after MyGlam's first amazebox, I'm just suspicious. 

 
I totally understand the want/need to have a great first box...but yeah, you know there are going to be a lot of ticked off people out there who saw the first box, thought "OOH four or five full size products, I'm all over that" then feel cheated when they receive mostly sample sizes.  

But after myGlam, I don't assume that ANY first boxes will be accurate, ever.

Sample Society boxes were. They have all been about the same as far as sizes and box value :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I frequently watch the box openings on youtube for the Canadian Glossybox and they samples always seem really great.  Way better then you would get from any 10$ sub. Heres to hoping! 

 
I don't think we are supposed to be able to sign up on the website yet. I did it last week and got the e-mail about free shipping too. If you got the website and click sign up now it takes you to a page to put in your e-mail address that is over the actual place we will be able to sign up. If you pay attention before the overlay comes up you can see the button currently say $666. I signed up an account by clicking the log in button on the top right but I don't think they want people doing that from the way they covered up the page.

 True, and since I kept my expectations low after the first box, it was even better! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think $21 is a fair price for one full size product and three or four samples, as long as they are from the high end companies.  I love all my sample boxes, but the sample box market is crying out for a box with only high end cosmetics and beauty products. 

 
I still think the boxes are going to be pretty good just looking at what they send out in the other countries.  Might not be a box full of giant samples but it's for sure not going to be full of foil packets.
