POPSUGAR Must Have February 2013 Box

[Dalylah]

Ladies and gentlemen, I encourage you to write PS with your negative and positive comments but please do it constructively. Sending them a well thought out response with honest comments will get their attention, sending a rude message will not. If you are repeatedly unhappy with PopSugar or any other subscription I encourage you to cancel it. That will send them a bigger message than any email or phone call.

Having said that, please keep it civil here and treat others with the respect you wish to receive yourself... even if you disagree with them 110%.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE... every month it's the same comments.... just cancel if you're not satisfied.. this is not your job to subscribe to a box of "gifts" for yourself.. this is a luxury. I cancelled because i'm saving for a house at this time but I enjoyed my subscription while it lasted and hope to be back.. but writing emails and complaining every month is rediculous.  people have way to much time on their hands.

totaly agree, im sorry but if the sub pisses you off month after month just cancel, here is a though maybe you are just not in their target demagraphic. after all they are a buissness out to make money.

Agreed! I just sent my positive email to them. =)

I only wonder if this argument would ever arise if someone here did not tell people to go and change thier lifestyle and eat healthy. This single comment I think ruined this months box for everyone in this board. I think yes a lot of people would be unhappy, but that comment made it so much worse.

i find it funny that comment (that was generic) has made that big of an impact. seeing the response from everyone has me laughing. im sorry but weight is an epidemic in america. and everyone embracing being overweight is not helping the ever growing american. popsugar is geared towards a healthy lifestyle. yes i made that comment and i stand by it. if you dont like the sub canle but to witch endlessly because you are fat is not going to change anything. instead of composing hate filled emails to a company, why dont you spend your time tring to change what is wrong with yourself. and like other people im sick of hearing people witch month after month about this sub (and yes most months its you overwieght people).

Also to add, remember every person's experience is different however the last thing we want to see are the members fighting amongst themselves. If you don't agree with someone's opinion please keep your own comments civil as the last thing we want to do is reprimand members with infractions or remove posts.

As a person who is overweight that struck a nerve for me. You don't know why a person is overweight nor their eating habits yet you are making judgmental comments about someone whose life you know nothing about. My suggestion to you is that if you're sick of reading people complain then block those whose comments you find offensive.

I feel the name calling is getting out of hand, we are all adults here and there are better ways to convey your difference in opinions. You don't have to sling insults at one another to get your point across. Come on ladies we are better than this!

I wrote an email expressing my displeasure that the items didn't fit me because I'm on the other end of the spectrum. This isn't about weight per say its about size. Some people are just built larger or smaller. I lead a healthy lifestyle, so I fit that aspect of their market, but still wasn't included. I think its fair to let the company know when you're happy or unhappy. In November I sent them an e-mail about how much I loved the box and their customer service (they fixed a billing issue I was having), so I think as long as you're not nit-picking everyone has justification for expressing their feelings on an item they paid money for. Some people may be getting more emotional than others, but weight is a touchy subject, and I don't think slinging insult is helping anyone.

Does anyone know how much the hanky panky nail polish might cost? I thought I would try another item from them but was a bit disappointed to learn the the nail polish code can't be combined with the $10 off for signing up for their mailing list code. If the nail polish is less than $10, I should definitely use the $10 code.

Just curious and some people mentioned they already had the nail polish so I thought they might know.

Thanks!

Just got my box! The earliest ever, too! I'm happy with this box. The wrap is a lot shorter than I thought even after reading a few post with others sizes. I got the pink one, which i love. I got the yellow pankys, I was hoping for the blue but I'm happy either way. I got the honey lip stain balm which is adorable. I'm happy!

Same colors for me, but I got the balm stain in Romantic. Love it!!

Since it's a Zoya polish I think retail for it is $8 or $9 but not 100% sure

Someone mentioned it's just Zoya's Mira (from a summer collection from, like, 2011, but it's still available for sale) with a different label, and Zoya is $8 from Zoya themselves and Ulta. I don't think HP sells it, though. From what I could dig up, it's only a gift with purchase thing for them.

enter the popsugar polish code in the gift code box, also if you get the 'bare' collection it has free shipping. i got a pair of undies and the nail polish for $12 with free shipping. and their codes are case sensitive.

I've got a Hanky Panky order ready to go when my box gets here! I'm not a big fan of thongs, but I love the lace briefs! I'm getting super impatient though. My box better be here tomorrow!

 

[amberlamps]

I got my box. White wrap, it actually covers all my parts.. I thought it might not. I'm 5'9.5 with a bra size of 34H and I've gained weight which makes me sadsish. I got dark chocolate pearls, but I don't really eat chocolate other than that time of the month.. lip junk in crush, which actually looks good on me. I had 2 tarte lip surgences but they looked gross so I gave them to my sil. I wonder if I can use the cleaner on silver? Sweethearts are always welcome and the book well I'll either read it, gift it, or sell it. I appear to be missing the hanky pankys though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> should I email them?

Thanks so much. And thanks to everyone else who chimed in on the nail polish!

you're not alone. Mine said it was at the fedex place in Dallas just chillin for 3 days. Before I went to bed last night I checked fedex and the status hadnt changed. Now its saying it went out for delivery YESTERDAY ar 12:56 pm pretty sure thats false. This is my first box and if the big ticket items dont fit I will be really dissapointed as Ive been waiting for this box since I paid January 12. I might even cancel and just do what the lady said on an earlier post "take the money and go to Ross" Thought about LBB....but found the same purses betsy johnson accessories etc at Ross for less than the 50 they charge monthly. Hopefully this all fits.

Ugh. Mine was IN Chicago today....and went past me to Wisconsin Smartpost, and now estimated delivery is next Wednesday.  This is ridiculous. They could have sent USPS and gotten it here faster.  I, like the other wonderful women above me, sent PS a polite rant about the inadequacy of their service on my first box and the issues with sizing, and have yet to receive any acknowledgement of my order.

I contrast this with Graze, who responded to me twice within 6 hours, provided me an update on my delivery, and a credit for a free box. Now THAT's customer service.

I would feel less so if PS did not EXPLICITLY say it does not need size information.  One size fits all does not cut it for a size 0- or for a size 20.  I think if PS was upfront this could happen it would be people's choice then- risk it and subscribe or don't.  Since until this month PS did not send sized items, I think it is reasonable to be upset.

If PS changes their policy in the future perhaps saying something such as while we don't need your size information, subscribers should be aware that once size fits all items are occasionally sent, I'd feel 100% different.  However, I understand the upset this month as if I were size 0 or 20 I'd have to consider this money wasted that I did not know would be wasted.

I completely agree with you - I'm a new subscriber this month, and had no idea that they would send sized items.  I'm ok with not fitting into things...but if I know that what i'm spending money on will contain items I can't use, then I won't spend my money on it in the future.

I based my purchase on some of the great reviews I'd seen for the stuff that was sent.  There was no context (as you mentioned) for me to think that sizing would be an issue, and that is *the* issue for me.  The company is providing a service, and if we're not happy with the service, we can complain and hope they listen to their customer's voice, or vote with our money and go elsewhere.  I'm willing to provide feedback in the hopes that they pay attention and realize they are leaving an increasingly powerful economic segment out of their calculations.   Again, if that's their choice, ok, it's a business decision, but then announce it on the website so we can make educated choices on whether or not to participate.

Do they still offer 1st box guarantee? If so, first time subscribers who are not happy can get a refund.

[SIZE=10pt]I finally got my box yesterday after avoiding this board and all the spoilers! Although this is my least favorite box, I'm still happy with it. A lot of the items went to one of my coworkers. I was baffled by a lot of the items that were included. I was definitely not in the target group this time. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]I received the gold colored Hanky Pankys. It is my favorite color, but thongs aren't my preferred type of underwear. I'll give them a shot and see if I'm a convert to the line. The wrap was pretty and super soft, but it doesn't really fit in with my lifestyle. I'm tucking it away to take with me on sleepovers or trips. The lip stain was in Honey. I tried out the color last night and thought it was ok. If I enjoy the wear of it for a full day, I'll consider snagging one in a color that is more suited to my skin tone. The book, jewelry cleaner and conversation hearts are all being given away.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I tried to read through all the posts since my last visit, but there were hundreds. Has anyone noticed that PopSugar has included little disclaimers in the pamphlets they send with the boxes? I was amused and a little sad. It seems like they shouldn't have to put "Colors may vary", etc. on the item descriptions.[/SIZE]
