OuiPlease [spoilers]

[biki]

I'm really happy for everyone who has gotten a box they're happy with. I finally thought OP was getting their act together but I got a box where the body wash's cap was completely off and spilled onto everything. Worse, the soap soaked into the padding and stained the bag, seeped into the nuts and mustard and when I opened my perfume, the I box has softened and dropped the perfume.

I swear the moment I give this box the benefit of the doubt, they screw me over. Emailed OP and am waiting for some response.

If ouiplease is reading this..  Please in the future try to get food items that are sealed. It broke my heart to throw out the mustard and tea,  I was  not comfortable using it.

Here are 2 pictures of mine. The tote dimensions are 10" high x 14" wide x 4" deep. It is made of a treated fabric that appears to be waterproof, which is why people are calling it "oilcloth". It is certainly not leather, and I feel fairly sure it is not plastic. It has no odor that would be typical if it were plastic. The handles are substantial woven straps and it is well sewn. There is no zipper or snap closure and no interior pockets. There is a tag sewn into the outer seam reading "pauline pin, made in France" so I think it's legit. For a tote, it's a quality item, it just doesn't seem worth $100 and it's not the equivalent of an amazing scarf (or even a quality leather belt). I'll use it next summer, and I am enjoying everything else in the box, so I suppose I should just hush and enjoy.

I received the Sencha scarf in a lavender/cream ombre with my initials and it is lovely ( I wore it yesterday and received many complement) my items only totaled a whopping 320.00 when added up. I like this box but the mustard goes to the trash. Only one perfume for me. Two body products. Looking for a body milk to make a set. Also on a different note for those who wanted a clutch or leather bracelet I contact the company yesterday and they I accept US orders and ship to US.

This month was longgggg past due. I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this. I love my gorgeous ombre blue scarf that came with my initials. I am even willing to ignore the fact that my stamping is rubbing off. The perfume however, doesn't sit well with me. I found all three $160.00 bottle perfumes on SEVERAL websites for around $20-30 each. Not sure if any of you recall but when this subscription began they had sent out a very luxe leather bottle of perfume. That felt really luxe and French like and this months perfume felt subpar to that. What really bothered me was my perfume didn't come in a box. Someone had opened it from the box and put it in my Ouiplease box. It felt used as not even the plastic was around the lid. The mustard not having a seal and the label worn off also felt used to me. Like everyone else, I am not able to move past it and use it. Not to mention the seal was broken as the lid had been popped. That tells me someone other than me had opened it prior to shipping. I have been pondering bringing up my concerns to Ouiplease. I just don't know what they can do to make this right. I feel duped and that feeling isn't going to just go away.

I have cancelled my subscription. I would like the December box but I would rather have a Ripauste clutch and bracelet and maybe a couple of other items. Plus my son goes off to college for his last two years. So my boxes have been cut as has my cosmetic spending.

I am happy to see a lot of people seemed to get a scarf (the best item) this time around. Seems like the odds might be better. I got the "clutch" and I love it. I wouldn't call it a clutch though. My phone is bigger than it. It's like Between a coin purse and a small makeup bag. I put a bunch of lip glosses in it and put it in my purse. Also my packing slipped valued it at 60$ but the booklet said 50$. I don't mind everyone getting different things as long as the value is closer to the same. Otherwise advertise it as a lottery and tell us the high and low value we can receive. And that doesn't mean inflate the price of a 25$ of perfume to make it seem like the values are the same. Luckily I am a yearly and got it at 87$ monthly so the value is always there for me. By for those that pay for the single box or monthly the value may not be there often. I still look forward to this box at the rate I am at. This was my 3rd box and I still haven't gotten one of the best boxes. If I don't before my sub is up I probably won't renew because that tells me they don't keep track. And even if they do what does that mean for the monthly a as opposed to the year subscribers?

The region/theme has been announced for the next box, Vol 1.6: White Winter in the Alps.

I like my box ok, but it didn't feel special at all. When they include something as unique & personal as a Monogramed scarf, it's hard to feel the other items are comparable. I think everyone should have gotten one. My tea tin arrived all bent up. I had planned to gift the tea, but I can't gift it in that condition. It does smell amazing though & reminds me of the Teavana blends. I was also supposed to receive an "extra gift" to replace a damaged item from a previous box. It was not included. I emailed them about both issues on Friday & no response yet so we'll see...

In addition to the damaged tea, I received:

-Almonds & mustard (stocking stuffers)

-Shower gel (I'll use it)

-Salome Charly bracelet (love this, already wore it on Friday)

-Marina de Bourbon perfume (gifting this to my youngest daughter for Christmas. Cute, but $160? No way is this worth as much or more than my Chanel & Tom Ford fragrances of the same size. The listed price is just silly, maybe $40 reasonably)

-Pauline Pin tote (very cute & sturdy/well made, but $100? Again, no way, maybe $20 - $40 if I'm being generous. The Huge Clare V. tote from the Popsugar CFDA box wasn't even valued that high & it is easily double the size with leather handles & a pocket.

I think I received the exact box as an earlier poster, but instead of the market tote, she received a second perfume & the Sencha monogramed scarf. I get the variations I guess, but when some have more items & with higher values, it leaves others feeling cheated. Some others didn't even get a tote, just filler items and the bracelet? I've tried to be supportive of this box & I have loved most of the items over the year, but this has got to be my least favorite box so far, in addition to being super late & behind schedule. I guess I was due a crappy, low value variation but shouldn't every box feel lovely & special at this price? I'm still expecting a "best of OuiPlease" box that I won a couple of months ago. It finally shipped. I'll post when I get mine.

I just don't think I'll be renewing. The promised boutique discount for yearly subscribers that we never got, the change in original promised box value from wasn't it over $450? to now twice the value = $300, the super late shipping, we are currently 1 full box behind for the year and that's only if we actually receive 1.6 in December, and the lack of customer service response is wearing on my soul. I still have 2 boxes left on my sub. At this rate I should hopefully get all my boxes by spring sometime...

I really hope all the winter boxes are amazing & arrive before Christmas. That would be ideal.

Dangit! I can't get a clutch to save my life!! Got my "best of" ouiplease box.

Of everything I got, I'm keeping only one thing. Almonds. And maybe the Historiae candle.

Tea Sprigs

Lavender Flowers

Graine de pastel hand cream

Graine de pastel face and body balm

La Fare foot cream

Douxe Me Rose Water Mist

Pier Auge Body Balm

Almonds

Historiae Hameau de la Reine candle

Julie Sion hair comb (like a decoration not an actual comb)

Oh... and a "made in China" tote by that perfume lady that is cheap but OP valued at $160 (the name escapes me)

 

[Cupcakes]

Oh wow that is their "best" box?  Mucho sad face /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  if that is indicative of what they would put together and sell in their "best of" box.  :blink:

 

[chrishall55]

I still can't get past the unsealed mustard that does not even make a popping/sealed sound when you open it.  I have 2 boxes left of my so called bimonthly annual subscription.  The last two have been better than the first two, but if the next two do not knock it out of the park I will not be renewing.  The first two of mine were terrible.  The non-sanitary mustard and "Made in China" wallet from THIS box concern me though.  The tea as well was not sealed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got a similar box, mostly filler & leftover items. No scarves or leather goods at all. I'm not sure how this is a "best of" box. It's nice stuff & free, so I'm not complaining at all. Just not what I expected.

Tea Sprigs

Lavender Flowers

Graine de pastel hand cream

Graine de pastel face and body balm

Atelier Cologne .25 oz spray

Douxe Me Orange Blossom Mist

Pier Auge Body Balm

Almonds

Elixir D'eclat (I like to put this on at night)

Historiae Hameau de la Reine candle

Julie Sion pin (this is actually really nice)

And cheap plastic tote thing, made in China, similar to a 'gift with purchase' beauty counter bag.

Liz at MSA reviewed her box. I noticed her tea tin came within a box, but mine didn't and it was dented. Her box looks really nice.

She is also doing a giveaway for her scarf.

 

[boxesandboxes]

My tea came in a box, too.

Here's the first brand of 1.6

Is there ANY WAY that they can pull this together before Christmas?  I doubt it.  Especially since only 1 brand looks committed: http://www.haremdessens.com/en/produits.php

No way we will get this before Christmas... maybe Spring?

 

[Cindy Faulkner]

I did a direct facebook contact with the brand selling the scarf sencha and somebody (sorry forgot the other half) and asked how much to direct buy the scarf. said I would pay and pretended to be a ouiplease customer so we will see.

 

[MET]

Fingers crossed that the next box is shipping soon - the "invoices" were processed on my account.  Two boxes ago that was the sign that shipping was imminent; the last box - not so much.

Actually the code is working today.  I placed an order and I am very happy that I was able to get a custom box with what I wanted and 15% off.  If this actually shows up on time and order correct I will consider signing back up.  Very excited can't wait!
