Kicking myself right now.

I believe the answer is no, you don't ... but perhaps someone who has been a Maven longer than me has some insight?

i'm pretty sure you don't, which is the advantage of being the first ones to get it... since you get 300 points for getting a box (approximately $3.00 since it takes 2000 points to get a box) technically that makes the box closer to $17... so you're taking a risk on unswatched colours

That's a good question! I've never tried it but I don't think so. I've been there before. I regretted it when I didn't upgrade the California coast collection so now if I have any doubts I just upgrade. I ended up buying most of the colors afterwards when they had the sale for about the same price, no extra jules for me though.

to answer the questions: if you skip the box, you can buy it on the 1st or so of the month when the put them on the maven exclusives page. (you can also buy everything from the month singly on the normal product pages). you can use jules to pay for the box, but you will not earn jules ever outside of the maven window.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I suspected that would be the case. Lesson learned!

It's a great deal ... esp. for newbies ... but I couldn't find anything I really wanted. I am looking for to my Maven box after I made the final decision, so I am looking forward to receiving it ... if DHL does better by Julep than it does other companies.

I didn't see anything I wanted either, but then again, I got the upgrade this month and bought 3 Sephora by OPI and one Illamasqua polishes yesterday, so I really shouldn't be indulging further in polishes

I'm skipping this sale code.  I am happily awaiting my Maven box and looking through the secret store.

Thanks for the code. I am on polish overload. I have this sub plus Bondi and I ordered polish from Zoya. I think that is it. There is nothing more I need to have. Now I would like some nail art tools and more beauty products. I will have to venture out from my subs at this point.

I wrote to Julep last week about DHL and this was part my reply.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We greatly appreciate your feedback and are staying positive about making our switch to DHL. Please keep us posted on your first experience. This month for your Maven box we are shipping with USPS and will be moving to DHL for the October Maven box. We have moved our shipping facility for monthly Maven boxes to New Jersey. This change is part of a larger effort to improve the delivery of Julep products to our customers. Soon we’ll be rolling out new options to customize how fast your order arrives. Stay tuned as we work to add this brand new features to our Maven program.

I had also questioned why my orders were not coming from NJ since I am in PA.

Sounds like a lot of changes are ahead for Julep ... I just wish they would let us know without having to go to other groups or FB to learn about that.

The highlighted sounds like faster shipping for a fee option.  Which is fairly standard, but, if the regular free shipping is slower, is a downgrade to what it was.

 

[Jac13]

I will just wait patiently for my orders. I have no interest in paying more for faster service. Eventually it will arrive.

 

[r4chel77]

the savvy deals 30% off code makes it just as good as the secret store. if i didnt already own gayle, i'd be all over the pull into porta set with it, janel and demi.. i also like the bang, pop crackle set with vivien since that's been oos forever... still going to hold out for my box. i upgraded with my jules so i highly doubt i'll get anything from the secret store, either.

Yes. It is awful to be in the dark about these things. Especially when it directly affects how quickly we should expect our orders. I also mentioned the speed of my last shipment in my email to customer service, but I've yet to hear back.

i got my sale order today! i order four dupes on purpose (my absolute favorites) but i also got char, natalie, eden, caroline and zoe. they are gorgeous and i think that the color treat font on the boxes should be smaller since it's the same size and silver engraved finished albeit different font.there are subtle satin finish stripes on the box, too. it's simple and sophisticated; i understand why they started doing this much like illamasqua has boxes.

I'm so jealous that you got Zoe! They gave me Zora instead of Zoe. I'm hoping it was just a packing error, & that they are sold out or something.

i'm sorry! i hope i wasn't gloating because i know you posted about that the other day. it's still up for purchase on the website so i'm sure it was in error; have you called them already?

Or MAYBE they'll have an option for Maven boxes where you can say "ship right away" after you've made your selection instead of waiting until the end of the window? That would be pretty sweet.
