OK, now I'm  very happy to be on the March list for my first re-start box.

I have this or very similar necklaces in both silver and gold in lengths from choker to very long length ( from LBB, they sold a mega- ton of this sort of necklace before going out of business or whatever they did).

I don't like rose- scented products, but do love bath products, so would have been bummed to get a rose scented one.

I have all the Tarte' Amazonian Clay blushes in the pink/ plum to light bronze and red range, so I have this one somewhere. ( obviously not a fave).

I do not wear red nail polish, as it chips or flakes in about 5 minutes if I manage to apply it without smudging it.

I have a great cheese board which is covered and has a better looking cutting knife and serving knife set already. 

However, this is a very nice box for people who want or need the items. I would have loved the marshmallows!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I'm super excited! Got my box this morning with two variations I was hoping for! image.jpg

So even with FedEx Ground, my box is estimated to be delivered in the same 4 day time frame as it does when SmartPost is used.  :blink: My box is shipping from CA by the way.

I am hoping tracking will update with delivery scheduled for tomorrow instead of Monday, but if not, I feel like FedEx Ground was not much of an improvement. Fingers crossed I am jumping the gun and will be pleasantly surprised tomorrow.  

Anyone's shipping/delivery time improve with FedEx ground?
Any luck with a bump in delivery times?  Fingers crossed you get your box soon!

Thanks for the positive vibes but no luck...shipping still says Monday. That's okay, anticipation is part of the fun and as long as shipping time does not get worse I'm happy. I will say it's been an eye opener to realize how lucky I am in regards to smart post shipping and delivery compared to others. I hope popsugar gets enough good feedback that they will consider changing to ground permanently.

 
Wow, my box is already on the truck for delivery!  That is UNREAL!  Fastest Popsugar box I ever got, ever!

 
Mine says on truck for delivery but then it says scheduled for next business day delivery and the estimated delivery date is monday.  So does that mean its sitting on a truck waiting for monday.  Thats so mean!lol

FedEx home delivery will deliver on Saturdays.  FedEx Ground typically doesn't - as my understanding.  But maybe it will.  It's usually a M-F type of delivery though.

 
Any thoughts on why they chose to straight fed-ex this box? Maybe the answer is obvious, but I'm not seeing it :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
My guess would be to try make their customers a little happier since the past few months there have been a bunch of delays and this box while not only useable for Valentines Day most of the items would be nice to have for it. Maybe a way of making amends for the issues they had for a few months.  I m curious how much more it costs them to ship fed ex ground.

I mentioned my theory earlier. I think it's because they had to change their billing to the end of the month.  So they needed to have one month of all the boxes going out within a specific timeframe. You will notice that they all go right back to SmartPost the next month.  And from a PR perspective, they gave good news (Febs boxes will ship ground) with the bad news (all billing will be on X date at the end of the month). 

 
     I'm very excited about the cheese board w/knife and the necklace! I'll have to add extenders to the necklace, I hate anything shorter than 22 inches, an 18 length fits, but I detest feeling anything remotely close up around my neck.

    I love Tarte, so I am willing to give the blush a try. I usually don't wear any due to my rosecea, but...it's Tarte! Lip balm sounds nice, I have enough lip brushes, so I won't need to poke my finger into the pot.

     DH is getting the Rocky Road bar since it is his favorite Chauo flavor.

   The bubble bath will have to go into my CS stash, I have too many allergies to scented washes, and I only take showers.

      Mostly a great box for my tastes.

My variations were: Pink Polish (yay) Pomegranate Lip Balm and Silver necklace.

Was hoping for a gold necklace and Pomegranate is fine, but the other flavors I've seen seem more up my alley. Either way, I still like everything and I'm even happier with the box now that it's in my hands!

 
I almost cancelled before this box and now I'm glad I didn't, hearing all of your feedback. Can't wait to get mine but have to wait until Tuesday. long time to wait!

Kinda funny, the past few months I have gotten my box super early before a shipping email even went out. Now this month they've "fixed" it for most other subscribers and now I'm getting mine later than usual. Haha oh well, doesn't matter really as long as it arrives! But I'm so antsy ahhh

 
My shipping seems to be the same. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I still haven't gotten a shipping notice, so I doubt I'll get my box by or on Valentine's. But it's no big deal to me. Like everyone else has mentioned, this box is still great after the holiday.
