POPSUGAR Must Have January 2013 Box

[renolyn]

I also tried my reference number and no luck. PopSugar must have something against us PNW girls!

The weight sounds promising.

I LOVE the tea in the December box, and the mugs are pretty awesome too. The candy went in 1 night on Christmas eve, all the kids liked them in their hot chocolates; and the adults ate the rest in the chocolate martinis. The soap is pretty nice too, it smells really good. I judge a box by the amount of items I use in the box. 

I used everything and liked it EXCEPT the RTR coupon. The thought of wearing someone else's clothing gives me the willies...ha and that coupon gave the box no value.

I got my sons 2 of Men's Luxury boxes for Christmas. Although I was really upset they were shipped so late. (I received them Christmas eve about 2pm...ha) PopSugar gave me a free January box. Both boys LOVED their boxes. They thought is was so cool it was filled with all kinds of stuff and they will use every item. The shoe laces were even normal colors and matched the cuff links.

I won't be looking at the spoilers... I like being surprised!!

You think anyone would have theirs yet? It seems early to me. What is the soonest anyone on here is expecting theirs? (By the way, for once, I am chilled out about it, probably because last month was so annoying. I am calling it a blessing.)

Hmm, just checked my account and Fedex.  No tracking and my box has never shipped this late

I'm in the Northeast too.  Mine says shipped on the 14th.  I expect to get it around the 25th.

My box is still processing and I live in Virginia /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[cmello]

my box is in Sacramento this morning... long way to go to NJ. probably not due to arrive until next wed/thurs

 

[Kerryliz]

Mine officially shipped yesterday - they usually take 7 days to get to me, but with next Monday being a holiday I'm expecting to get mine Tuesday or Wednesday!

I think I might try (for the first time) to go spoiler free... I'm not as anxious for presents now that Christmas has passed!

I e-mailed them last week about something and they said they were running late this month due to the holidays... So hopefully by next month everything will return back to normal.

I disagree. I think PopSugar has a responsibility to let its customers know that coupons it provides have strings attached. While you found it to be very clear that when you sign up, you are charged monthly, there is still the issue of having to create an account, turn over your CC information and then remember to cancel it. In my view, that's something the PopSugar should let its customers know. I do think it was a good coupon (basically $30 to spend on the SM site), but I think MANY people were not aware of the recurring charge. Of course it is an advertising deal - that's how they survive, but a little more disclosure would not hurt. PopSugar's customer service team made it pretty clear in their response to me, that they are aware that this is an issue.

In my opinion, they send you a coupon code to use to introduce you to the website and a new service. On Stylemint there is a button that says "how it works". Whenever I go to websites with a code for a free gift or a gift card code, if I am getting the item for FREE, then I do not have to enter my credit card information. That should be a red flag to anyone, if you are entering your credit card did you not wonder why?

Maybe popsugar could have wrote on their card "Check out this monthly subscription service and here is a code for your free month/item" which would be a prompt for those who do not take the time to read what the website is actually about.

I agree with many others, it really isn't PopSugar's fault. They expect to be selling boxes to grown ups. It is easy to point fingers and blame them when in reality any time you are entering your credit card information, you yourself should have read everything there was to know beforehand. It isn't Popsugar's responsibility to explain in detail how another company works.

I enjoy reading what others opinions are, what people got in their subscription boxes etc. but it is instances like this that keep me away from the site and participating to much. I am a big believer in taking responsibility for my own actions, and no matter what people say about "not being aware of recurring charges", the truth is it happened because YOU did not fully read the website you entered your charge card number on, period. The constant complaining and finger pointing the blame on someone other than themselves just gets old.

I signed up for a 6 mo popsugar must have subscript.  What happens after the 6 months are up?  Do I keep getting boxes shipped and charged to my account until I formally cancel?  Or does my subscription stop automatically?

I believe it goes to a month to month automatically if I read correctly. You might want to double check with PopSugar just in case, especially if you do not want to continue after the 6 months you purchased are up.

It goes to once a month after the pre paid period ends. If you want to do another pre paid period you have to cancel that subscription and create a new one. At least that's what I've had to do.

I'm in Seattle and no shipping info here either.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

On a sad note, one of my Bodum mugs broke!  I was microwaving some milk for hot chocolate.  I put the cocoa in, stirred and the inner wall broke!  Its supposed to be dishwasher and microwave safe.  I am so sad because I LOVE these mugs.  I checked Bodum's site but they won't replace glass.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Were you using a metal spoon? I'm weird and I like to read all the directions / warnings on things and it said something about using cation when using metal spoons as it could shatter the inner wall. My boyfriend used a metal spoon on mine the other day and I almost killed him hahaha

So October's box was 4.4lbs and included the book (mine might may have been lighter since I only got the sample size of the shampoo and conditioner, they did fedex me a full size afterwards, which was so cool of them).  I wondering if another book is included in the Jan box since it's 4.7lbs?

October also shipped late (Oct. 17th for me), but only took a week and a day to reach me on the east coast, so hopefully after all the holiday shipping slows down, we'll get our boxes in a more reasonable timeframe.
