Wow! Given a choice between this and the CFDA box, this box looks amazing.

I do get the frustration with uneven box values, but I agree with those who say that it's important to consider that these are all items you'd have to pay a ton of shipping on to get in the US. It would probably be $100 to ship all of those items from the various sites. To a lot of people that is worth some discrepancy of the value. (As opposed to a bangle that's at TJ Maxx lol).

I do feel for the people who received a box that's way below the stated value and hope they get some resolution.

 They say the box value should be around 400 dollars.. My last box value was under 300 dollars. People seemed to get more items than me too.  I didn't say anything    I will see what this box is.   If I like the stuff even though the value is low I don't like to complain.  Just with this box and the variations I get very jeleous of other people who  have things I really want

 
Yep, I'm on the East Coast, and my first box is scheduled for delivery tomorrow! Super excited, and I'm really liking the looks of the boxes I've seen so far, even if the value is a little lower than expected. 

 
Mine is now scheduled for delivery tomorrow also, in Nevada. Should be lots of discussion this week!

EDIT: Out. For. Delivery!

My box just arrived and I am really upset again. I thought my horrible box last time was a fluke.    This is the contents of my box.

Huile beauty oil

 2  sothys sample packets.

1 sothys lipstick ( neon orange )

 tiny square of  rose et marius soap

panier hand cream

 shower gel

shampoo

Honey candies from provence

NO JEWELRY NO SOCKS

I really doubt the retail on this is even 200 dollars . I feel so upset considering some people got 2 jewelry items I have the right to be very upset.  I don't know what to do. I have wrote to them in the past and they never answer.  I am on a yearly sub.  Any suggestions what I should do?

wow. sorry to hear.  while the variation is nice in some terms, when there are such huge discrepancies, it's not so nice.  just try and reach out.  If your annual is within a specified time within your credit card, maybe you can refute if is really doesnt match advertisement.  Hate to go that route.  But may need to open first then cancel if resolved. Hopefully they will make it right.  And HOPEFULLY, they will start to to evaluate at least making the boxes comparable if they do these variations. 

 
@ Ugh. I am so sorry.

You should absolutely reach out to them again...and this time tell them that there are items "missing" from your box.

This really seems like a case of missing items.

Also many people have received the beauty elixir along w/ the oil..so that is another product to add to your "missing" list.

Good luck! And keep us posted.

My box came earlier this morning.  I'll be heading home soon to open it and will make sure to report back as to what I received.  Until then, to pass the time, I checked out the OP facebook page and noticed they deleted a crapload of comments left by subscribers!  As recently as yesterday, on their page, anyone reading the comments left by people could tell how upset the subscribers were with what happened with the 1.3, but now when you read the comments that are left over from their deletefest it just looks like a bunch of people requesting tracking information- which an outsider could take to mean that we are all excited about getting our box, when in fact, for most of the month we have been panicked that we were being lied to and would in fact not receive a box.  Just though I would mention that...because as an annual subscriber that will definitely be one of the factors as to whether I decide to cancel this subscription and dispute it with my credit card company (how they chose to save face and delete comments rather than chalking it up to growing pains, and a learning experience, something to not do again).  Also, did anyone else notice that the new box (1.4) hasn't been announced yet??  i know this box is only two volumes old; however, in the past, OP would announce the new theme for the next box right before mailing out the current one, or shortly after the current one has been mailed out.  So far, neither has happened yet- and with my calculations, should have by now.  Which makes me wonder if this might be the last OP box we see??  Part of me hopes not, because aside from this box, OP seemed to be off to a pretty good start.

It is clearly an error.

Just assume it will get fixed and they will send you the additional missing products.

Try not to get too disappointed yet.

I feel certain they will fix this for you.

 
My box was just delivered & I'm not disappointed but I'm also not overly excited-

I received:

-Tassia Canellis - teeny tiny hoops with a little coral bead- not my style- nothing in the book looks like these hoops - $60

-radiance elixir - $50

-beauty oil- $35

- la fare shampoo- $25

-foot cream- $15

-cow ur de cigale body gel- $25

-2 panier des sens lotions - lemon & lavender-$30

-rose et marius- tiny soap square- $15

-lavender sachel- $15

-honey candy - $15

- sothy lipstick in nude - maybe $15

My grand total is around $300-- if I would've gotten any of the Eloise fiorentino jewelry items, I would've been extremely happy & not cared about value.

Sorry @ .. Definitely reach out to them . It seems your definitely missing items. Whomever pack my box just kinda threw everything together, my guess is due to a hurry. I know in the past when others were missing items, they let them request what they wanted... Maybe you'll end up getting everything you want -- keep us posted!!

Gosh, I'm starting to get worried that they got us to buy an annual subscription - and it's going downhill now. 

Hopefully this is just some sort of error with a few boxes going in rush after the Mother's Day box.  I doubt their CEO and owner would want her name in a permanent google search associated with negative press around this. It doesnt sound like there are a lot of employees so this would fall back to the owner.

The beauty products are really nice & I'm excited to try them out-- all the packaging is super cute & French. The sachel of lavender is my favorite item in the box- it smells heavenly !! The honey candies are strangely addicting.. I've ate 2 & I can't stop thinking about them... I've never had anything like them before... They looked so cute in the container that I hated opening it.

It just seems that I'm missing that fashion item.. The WOW factor. Month 1 I got the clutch & last month I got the scarf.. Both of these items IMO were the big ticket items. I'm staying positive that this is 1 off volume & the next volume will be AMAZING!!! I'm ready to go to Bordeux ... Or the French Riviera is incredible!!!! I'm excited for their next announcements!!

 
@ I hope they respond to your email. It sounds like they shipped it half empty.
  Thanks  ... on a positive note the things they did send me are beautiful.  I doubt they will answer my email if they do I will let you all know.  I have no idea what to do about my yearly sub.  I just hope they send me a few items that may be missing  !!

 
I posted a nice post to them on facebook about my box asking them what happened.  They deleted it. Actually they deleted all posts I have ever made.  If they read my post then they saw my questions about my box. I also saw others with questions that got deleted.  This is really sleazy to delete questions .  People here seem really mellow compared to the people on MUT  they are as upset as me.

 
I received my box and my envelope is empty too. I checked all in it and in the box, no jewelry. I sent them a message. I did receive:

1. Rose et Marius soap in the flowery fragrance (I received the basil sent in my Mother's Day box) - $15

2. Honey candy - $15

3. Lavender sachet (this is Ventoux and I received Sault in Mother's Day box) - $15

4. Sothys lipstick in orange - $29? (saw several online retailers with this price)

5. Sothys nail lacquer in rouge nuit (love this color) - $13?

6. La Fare foot cream - $15

7. La Fare shampoo - $17

8. Coeur de Cigale body lotion - $21

9. Panier des sens lemon hand cream - $8

10. Oliv radiance elixir - $50 (can't find this on the Oliv website, converted cost from British site)

11. Oliv beauty oil (leaked on to my empty jewelry envelope) - $9 (did price wrong, but the most I think this sells for is $15-$18)

I'm happy to try the different Rose et Marius soap and sachet, but 3 creams?!? I don't care if they are for different parts of the body and 2 oils? Nope! I made sure to tell them about the missing jewelry and the almost duplicate items.

Total - $213-$216 and I don't have the annual subscription so with a one time discount I paid $120. I know people can be happy with items they received and not worry about if the value is there, but not at $150 a box (if I stick around that's what 1.4 will cost) and they shouldn't make claims they can't live up to. Don't tell me I'm going to get a $400 value and not come anywhere near it!
