POPSUGAR Must Have January 2013 Box

[martianeskimo]

Same here, sister! Our boxes are probably traveling together /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They're box buddies! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, but sometimes I get it a day early. Fingers crossed!

I'm ok with the box contents for this month and I think I will like it more once I get it. I did cancel because I joined a gym and I needed to justify spending that money so I cut out PS for now. It nearly killed because I bet February will be awesome after they review the survey results. That's ok though, if you get something amazing I'll just have to be jealous until I can save up to buy whatever it is. I'll still be stalking this thread though to see what I'm missing. LOL

Worked for me too! Too bad the information was just sent to FedEx yesterday. I'm in TX so this will take a while.

I'm in Texas too and my package has been "initiated" for five days. It hasn't even been picked up by FedEx yet. I'm really disappointed because I was trying to stay spoiler free but at this rate I won't get the box until February.

Mine is stuck in initiated too. Been that way since the 16th. I hope it's just not updating correctly and it's on its way. I hate the way PopSugar does their shipping notices. It seems every month they always sit for a few days before there's any movement.

I am in Arkansas and mine still shows "initiating" as well.  It shows that the info was sent to FedEx on 01/16 but doesn't even show being picked up yet.  I just sent an email to customer service to see if they can tell me what is going on.  I mentioned that it was frustrating that my bank account was debited 01/08 and now 2 weeks later, my box still doesn't show to have left the warehouse.  

I didn't receive my August box until September ... hopefully we aren't going back to THAT.  :/

I'm in Arkansas as well! My box usually takes a crazy route through Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, then finally back to Arkansas!

hey neighbor!  LOL.  Where are you at?  I am near Searcy. 

Mine takes that crazy route too!  One went from Reno through Texas, then Mississippi, Tennessee, back to Mississsippi, and then finally into Arkansas!  It could have gotten to Little Rock in practically the same time it went to wherever it was in TX!  the others I think went from Reno to Memphis, then Mississippi, then AR.  My PopSugar boxes see more of the US than I do!

Finally in Atlanta, but will not be delivered until Thursday!  Not quite "Express"....9 days total - I can ship something faster to Brazil!

Add me to the frustrations that is FedEx Smartpost. My box arrived in Chicago yesterday (where I am), but then sent up to Wisconsin...added a day for sure.

 

[ricarlav]

Looks like I might be getting my box today! It's not scheduled until tomorrow but it arrived at my post office this morning and since I have it delivered to the office park I work in, I tend to get them early.

I'm really hoping for a watch in a color other than white. I love the red one on the website.

For all the NW girls, we will probably start seeing our boxes by Saturday or early next week. I am in Renton, so mine goes through Oregon, then Kent, then it is given to my local PO for delivery. So Saturday or Monday for me.

 

[cmello]

mine was delivered today in in NJ.. fingers crossed for the white watch s

 

[Jesipae]

mine usually arrives 3 days after it gets to Salt Lake, so i totally thought i would get it today. too bad it took 4 days to go from one Fedex Salt Lake to another, and just now sent info to USPS /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> i guess it will be another few days. i really want to know what color i got! february is my last box, and i am kind of glad. i'm thinking about the other things i can use that $ for, and i'm kinda sick of the time i waste on this. its excited, but i've never been like, wow, just what i wanted!

Man, I totally understand that you can't please all of the people all of the time, but maybe they should come up with two different "flavors" of boxes, based upon users' style preferences. I can appreciate how hot pink would be an amazing color for some, but it's my least-favorite shade of my least favorite color, and literally won't go with a. single. article. of. clothing. I own --- nor can I imagine any of my friends being excited to receive this as a gift....and I don't have any teenage girls in my life to gift it to either. 

Again, I can appreciate how difficult to PS staff's job must be, but maybe for the big-ticket items they give vouchers so we can choose our own, or at least divide subscribers into 2 or 3 major "style profiles".  I recall the uproar over the jewelmint clutches in the Luxe box (which, btw, I totally feel like I dodged a bullet by not ordering!)

When in doubt, I feel like something in a neutral color is a safer bet...for folks who enjoy colors like hot pink, surely they can find other ways of accessorizing / incorporating this color into their outfits? While leaving a neutral / safer accessory for the rest of us?   

I'm also bummed because I "gifted" this month's box to a friend who shares my fashion sensibilities -- now I'm (sorry) embarrassed by my gift ! Ugh.

Does anyone know of any promo codes floating around besides the $5 off? Maybe ones for multiple months?

Nope. Maybe if a lot of people cancel this month, they may have a better code than the $5 off for next month to get more subscribers. Wishful thinking :]

Mine has been in GA since the 18th, but isn't going to be delivered until the 25th.  That's along time to travel an hr and 1/2.

 

[miss6aby]

Im huge into fitness and which is one of the reasons I like that this includes not only lifestyle, fashion and beauty but fun fitness items. This is one of my favorite boxes!! Other than the one where we got the benefit kit, scarf, and the govino wine classes. Forgot what month that was. 

I really don't want a pink watch. I'll take any other color but I am excited about the watch in general. please oh please. lol

 
Been meaning to get a stability ball for my ab workouts too. Just never got one. So bada bing bada boom!

Haha! I'm in Fayetteville. I can usually count on getting it the day after it checks in at the facility in MS, but it's definitely within a few hours of me when it goes to Memphis! I could have it 2 days sooner!
