PopSugar Must Have Luxury Edition Box

[CaliMel]

I figure that we will get at least that much back, and quite honestly, I can use some of it for gifts, or just swap with people if I don't like it.

Normally I would not spend $100 on a mystery box. If this was birchbox, myglam or even Julep offering a mystery box for that price I would not have been tempted in the least, because I just don't think their boxes are on the same level for the most part.

Popsugar has sent me high end stuff and I have loved the assortment so far. Plus I feel like with their klout and connections to the entertainment industry they can get better products and more on trend/fresher things than the other companies can.

It's kind of nuts to have bought a mystery box for that price, but I just got about that much for my birthday so I figure it's my birthday present to myself.

Just read on Geeksugar:

"The box will be full of some of our favorite products from fashion, beauty, and home this season." "We have more surprises in store, so stay tuned . . ."

Lol no joke! I can't afford any other kind of box and/or surprise after splurging on this one!

Ugh! It's getting tempting! Nope, not going to do it... not going to do it. IMATS, think IMATS. January... must save for IMATS.

True... you are making me feel less crazy; thank you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think I was drunk on my currently-a-bit-cuckoo pregnancy hormones. Well, I'm blaming it on that, at least.

I guess we now know why they didn't have more specifics.....so they can change things up even more. I guess they learned from the backlash when they said $150 and then switched to $100 and bag to box. They just put no promises but can't even keep their 1,000 claim!

I was still thinking about ordering, but uhh now maybe I will just hold back for now.

whats this about 150, and bag. fill me in please?

Thank God they didn't do this when I was on steroids. I had zero impulse control that week! I am truly envious of those of you who are getting one. I can't wait to live vicariously through you all. Maybe they'll offer another one in March after I get birthday money. I was going to use it to subscribe to their regular monthly boxes, but I guess I don't need money that badly, for other things, ever...

"Fashion Beauty and Home" I hope they send them soon, so I can get my jealousy over with quickly. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Aww, congratulations on the soon arriving bundle of joy! My pregnancy and delivery were crazy, but I remember these times with such warmth (when I have time, between my lil one and popsugar craze you know....lol!)

When they started the subscription, they advertised each month being worth at least $150 and would include a bag. At some point after people ordered, they changed it to $100 and no bag. Subscribers did not appreciate the switch and many emailed popsugar to let them know.

I missed out and now I'm super bummed. Tried placing the order several times and it never went through.

If anyone has an extra box, or changes their mind, let me know!

We're glad to hear that you already secured yours, as not everyone will get one. There has been an overwhelming demand for this special box, and as previously mentioned, it will be selling out soon! We apologize for any confusion as we were experiencing some hiccups on our site which has now been resolved. We know that you will love this limited edition box as much as we do! Let us know if you have any other questions.
 
I have settled down.  I shouldn't have been so annoyed.  It's not a bad thing to be nice to people that read my blog by giving away two boxes.

I got the exact same email... this is what I sent them:

I, as well as many others I have spoken to who subscribe, am a bit

annoyed at the seemingly intentional deception around the "Only 1,000

made!" thing - when it is perfectly clear that you are still accepting

orders well after they should have sold out.

I ordered mine this morning... and around noon I looked at the site again

and there were "Only 68 left!" and then apparently there were "Only 8

left!" and then an hour later there were "Only 1,000 made!" and NOW - there is

NOTHING regarding how many are left/how many are made, yet they are

still avaliable.

Honestly, $100 is a lot to spend on something with ZERO hints as to what it

is or how much it's worth, and a big part of the allure was that it was

such a limited edition thing. I have been a loyal subscriber since the very

beginning, and honestly, despite the fine print saying PopSugar can change

anything it wants whenever it wants, this is not the first time I have felt deceived.

I am generally happy with the Must Have program, have referred several

friends, and would like to continue my patronage, but I think there are

some serious consistency problems that need to be addressed.

So yeah, I probably am overreacting to the whole thing... I'm just getting REALLY fed up with how often they change things without telling us... Oh well, I'm still totally addicted!

 

[fridaypeach]

Same email as well.
 

 

[wldflowur13]

Ohmygosh!!! I was offline for 2 day and completely missed this! I neer even received an email even though I subscribe to the regular box. Congrads to everyone that got one. I'm so bummed that I missed it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If anyone bought the box and is having second thoughts/buyers remorse I'd be interested in buying it from you for the full cost.

 

[celicacutie]

Rats...my order never went through as suspected.

Thank you so much for your email. I am so sorry, but it looks like your order did not go through. You are still set to receive a December Box, however, and we have been working hard to ensure that it is very special! If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.

Have a wonderful day!
POPSUGAR Support

Wish they would just open it back up with 100 boxes!

You know i was going to sign up for the Luxury Edition box but i decided since there were no hints, no values and really no information besides saying it was their most luxury box yet i figured i was happy with my 3 month subscription. Plus it really turned me off when they said 1,000 boxes made then it kept changing and it was really deceitful.  Hey girls I went to Macy's online(one day sale today) and bought myself a Fossil wallet, a Guess handbag and two DKNY shirts which all came to $100. I gave myself true luxury with items i needed and wanted and LOVE!!! No gimmicks, no tricks just great stuff!! All had a value of $300 or more. Trust me we can all live without what is in that box so do not feel bad if you missed out on this one. These companies rely on the addiction we feel as consumers and how badly some of us need that element of surprise in our lives. Seriously we will do fine without it. Hope this helps the ones who feel bad they did not get one. I chose not to. I'm glad i did. Now go buy yourselves a handbag!! ha ha. Happy Holidays!!!!

I hope this box is good because I went to Target today and spent $0 on myself. First time ever. I told my hubby about the box and lucky for me he just rolled his eyes.

Great point.  This actually gave me an idea, though.  We should do $100 gift boxes and trade them with each other!  Lol.  Just kidding (could you imagine not actually getting that $100 box?) but I bet we could come up with some pretty creative boxes ourselves! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
