Can't you try to sell the items on Ebay? Or donate to a local shelter or Goodwill. To write you are going to throw everything out seems a bit ridiculous to me.

I couldn't agree more... Everyone is so fast to say how they are disappointed every other month on here.. so why not just cancel??

People seem like they are way to quick to fire off an email to PS.  

I don't like my box - better email PS and tell them how much they suck

Fedex smartpost takes too long for me and I'm impatient - better email PS and tell them how much they suck

My post office screwed up - better email PS and tell them how much they suck

I hate everything about this box, service, interactions with CS, etc.  - better email PS and tell them how much they suck....but I'll still send them my $35/month and continue to complain on MUT.

I agree with this.  Kind of like how I hate chocolate but when I get chocolate in my subs I don't go off complaining to the companies.  It's bound to happen.

I can understand with damaged products or if you didn't receive your box by the time you were supposed to but we are basically paying for a grab bag.  You don't know what you're going to get.

I'm not happy about the lack of variety in this month's box and I'll only use one item and sell/trade/donate the rest but I'll probaby continue to subscribe to this service.  They all wont be as awesome as September. 

If people don't like the service they can always cancel but complaining beause you received a ball and you already have one or you wont use it (just examples) is just silly in my opinion.

This watch is a little crazy has a mind of its own! I got mine in pink but the led light is a little annoying just my opinion ! But hey I like the coco idea

 

[celicacutie]

Exactly!!! It is one thing to post a mini vent here saying how you are bummed but to email PS and say you are going to trash xyz because PS just doesn't "get it" or "know your style/personality/life" 100% is nuts. Everyone has the free will to cancel their sub and spend their $35 elsewhere. To think that PS, or any sub for that fact, has a crystal ball and will get it 100% right 100% of the time is just crazy and not realistic.

I would think emailing PS would be appropriate if an item is damaged or missing.

And, we are all in the same boat with the smartpost solution. Would you (generally speaking) rather fork over more $$ to have it go through the normal UPS/Fedex channels? Then people would complain that their box was left out in the snow/rain/whatever. You can't please everyone.

Sub boxes should be considered a luxury (in my opinion) and not a necessity. If you are unhappy, un-sub.

Sorry but obviously firing off an email about throwing away almost everything rubbed me the wrong way, lol.

I laugh every time the lights go off.

I decided to try and wear mine today even though its not my style and the lights went off in the middle of the dark classroom. My professor stopped his presentation and asked me where the rave was. So.... I think it a loss for me.

 

[Jennasaurus]

My kids think this is the coolest watch ever.  I kind of like the lights because I can distract them (or anyone else really) with it.  But I think the watch is uncomfortable.  I have to wear it high up my arm if I want to bend my wrist and then it just feels too tight.  Maybe I have no idea how to wear a watch?

Glad to see I'm not the only one tired of all the negative Nellie posts. I found it a bit rude to say what YOU think the PS audience is .. I will definitely be wearing the watch because I think it looks fun. I guess that means I'm not fashionable and chic. Lol Are you expecting something from Tiffany's? I agree with others about throwing stuff out. That's a bit ridiculous. I can always find someone who wants whatever I don't from the boxes. And yes, I already have a ball... But a coworker doesn't. She asked to have my old one since I'm getting this new one. If you don't like what you're getting, cancel! Anyway... Speaking of my box.. It's out for delivery! Wish it would get here before late afternoon so I didn't have to wait til I'm off work to see it!

Used the Popbar and Marshmallow's last night YUM! I used water instead of milk and it turned out great little sweet but that okay for me the sweeter the better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think they sat the bar way too high with that September box! I know that's what got me to join. Can't wait to get home and get my box though. The ball and watch will probably go to my cousins and the food to my husband soooo nothing for me. Boo! But, that's the way it is sometimes!

Too funny! I would totally say that's a win! 

 

[pugslypoodle]

anyone want to trade? 

a white or black watch for the cuff from the luxury box? 

 

Edit: Please keep all trading discussion in the Buy/Sell/Trade section

 

[jenniferrose]

This is my first month and I thought the box was pretty good. Not a fan of the bars, but the hot cocoa is delicious and although I have an exercise ball already, the ball was obviously a good inclusion since I thought it a good enough thing to get on my own. 

The watch is absolutely ridiculous. But I have seen very similar ones available so it might be a trend? Fashion is not exactly my strong suit.

Would I have purchased these items on my own? No. But if I didn't subscribe with the expectation of random items I would just go spend the money myself. It is a bit expensive, but the items are useful (in general) as opposed to beauty samples I would not be able to use (just my preference).

I loved the mugs from December and of course the scarf and I'm hoping for an awesome thing every other month or so that I don't have. The surprise is part of the fun.

I love that you used them in the Bodum mugs from last month! Those mugs are fantastic.

I know a few people who do that, including my own sister. To her money is irrelevant and she would rather toss a gift that she didn't like instead of trying to sell, exchange or regift it - too much hassle.

She's also one of those people who never doggy bag their leftovers at a restaurant because "that's what plebs do" and she can have it fresh anytime she wants.

Yeah, my in laws do this. They were going to take a big screen TV that was fully functional to a junk yard bc they buy a new one like every other year and I basically argued with them to put on craigslist that it would be out in front on their street, and then 15 minutes later a family in a minivan grabbed it. They probably thought I was an a-hole for butting in, but that family is probably still watching their free TV. I hate waste like that. Sometimes we buy used even when we can afford new because I get really worried about the environment and everyone needing new things all the time. 

I emailed PS about my stained white item, so I'll let you know what I hear  back. Even if they just send a new strap I'll be fine with it. Agree with others that this is basically a grab bag. Oh, and give the lip balm a try. My lips are feeling really smooth today, even though the smell is a little medicinal.
