Anyone else still waiting?
I don't have an email yet ...... but sometimes I don't get one until a couple of days before the first. With the holiday weekend, there will be no mail on the 2nd anyway, so it will be the 3rd before we can actually expect our Maven boxes. Of course, Julep COULD ship early and we could get it on Saturday, the 31st to play with over the Labor Day Weekend. I could see some Karmen on my nails for Labor Day!

  • When can I expect my Maven Box to arrive? When you first become a Julep Maven, we'll send out your Introductory Box as soon as your account is processed. Monthly Julep Maven Boxes start shipping on the 27th of each month. Please allow 7 to 10 business days for your box to arrive. Please note: if your shipping address is outside of the continental United States your box may take longer to arrive.
The above is from Julep's website.  I don't know what "start shipping on the 27th" means, but I thought the 27th we are billed and the Maven boxes are sent out.  
I have not received a shipping email yet either.  I always thought that they billed and shipped boxes out on the 27th too.  Perhaps that was a change with DHL.  I called CS today and they said it should ship by the first, I did not get into an involved convo with her. However, I always remember them shipping on the 27th.  One month they didn't get it shipped that day and the sent out an email communication saying they were behind.  so I think this by the 1st time frame is a change.

Has anyone tried these from Sephora?  They are on sale for $15 (from $16

)  They are Harley, Kim, and Dendrie.  I'm thinking about it... but don't need more polish. 
these have always ben $15. sephora put it with the original price of $16 to make it look like it's on sale but i promise that my friend just bought it several days ago and it has always been $15. i saw it with my own eyes many times lol

I just got my shipment email, and was surprised when I clicked on the tracking, it was USPS and not DHL.

I posted a few pages back that September maven box would still be usps. Regular buys and maven boxes starting in October will sadly be DHL.

ahhh...gotcha.  Although, something is slightly different about the shipping.  It came from NJ, and I've never gotten any Julep packages that started out in NJ ever.  Maybe they got a new warehouse there.  In that case, it would make the DHL thing slightly better in the future.

 
Today both a Julep order I had made and my monthly maven box were shipped out to me.  My monthly box is coming with USPS, and my separate order is being sent with DHL.  Since they shipped on the same day I am going to be observing the difference in shipping.

In addition, when I made my order last night I had varying shipping options:

Free 5-10 business days

Expedited: 2-4 business days $5.99

Next day Air: 1 business day $19.99

Is this new?  I am wondering if these are the new shipping options that have been referenced.  I haven't been a maven long enough to know if this is something new or if it has always been like this.

Even with the new shipping carrier I am still excited for Julep.  This will be my first time accessing the secret store and I am excited!  I don't know what to expect, but I'm sure I'll find myself making another order

The shipping options are new. Yea I think this is what they were alluding to. I think I will keep using my free option. I am never in a rush to pay extra, lol. Last month was my first time accessing the secret store; there were some pretty good deals. Welcome into the Maven family.

I totally believe you! I just never look at the Julep on Sephora because I figure I get a better deal being a Maven.  These caught my eye yesterday because they were in the sale section.

But guess what.

This morning Julep Shades of Grey are listed for:  $26.00 ($42 value)

And they're not in the sale section anymore.

Something doesn't seem right about this.

Welcome to being a Maven, Flowerfish! Yes, this is definitely new. Apparently, we are now going to pay $6 for the same service we got last month for free.

Wow, this is irritating!  I was already losing interest in Julep for various reasons, and this does not help.  I'm going to be watching over the next few months to see how I feel about the Maven boxes, and if I keep skipping as I've done recently, I'll be ready to cancel.  

I know a lot of you still love your Julep, and that's great, but I'm starting to feel as though I'd rather transfer my energy to Bondi.

Ditto. Bondi is now offering options that I've always wished julep would offer- picking your colors instead if pre-selected boxes. I hate to poo-poo on julep, but I'm sure you all understand that it is personal preference.
 
Haha, kinda ticked. I know its an extra and they don't have to throw it in but this months extra was a freaking single use polish removing wipe. I miss the eyelash curler and pins, they were awesome extras.

last month's blotting papers were decent.

 
Wasnt last month those seeds?
Yup. July was the California collection with the blotting papers. August was the garden party collection with the seeds. June was... Nantucket? With taffy. May was the Jazz Age with the hair clips. I can't believe I can remember these.

Yup in that same post, I said they have a NJ location now lol
