This is my first box in couple of months and I am actually really looking forward to it but mine has been in the initiated/label stage since Monday morning. Thank goodness for the Fedex account that lets me know about shipments or I would be going crazy.  Plus it always takes forever to get to me from California. I feel like I am never going to get this box. 

Anyways, I not sure if its for every store but my Fresh Market has the popcorn for 2 for $5 this week. I have already grabbed a couple of bags because I wanted to try it so bad but didn't want to wait for my box to get here. It has been a huge hit. I love that stuff. I am defiantly hiding my bag when I get my box. haha. 

 
Wow this shipping is something else, my label was created on Monday and the package is just now leaving Sacramento... What's even worse is the ETA is Tuesday 12/2/2014.  Really?  Wow... I guess they're delivering by buggy these days?  I was really excited until I realized that my November box probably won't be here until December. 

I'm really rethinking this subscription now, for the price we pay our boxes should get to us within 2-3 days max... I'm just in Texas, 2 weeks and 1 day for delivery is a bit excessive. 

 
Also I'm in a suburb of Chicago and usually mine ships from NY but this time the label is initiated in CA. I will never get my box.

 
I just got my November box in Ohio and it's the best. Ever. The Sorial wallet is cute. I don't have any bags that size, let alone with a crossbody strap. Not leather, but sturdy.

I was worried the hand cream would be too musky for me, but it's subtle enough that I like it. Also I'm now addicted to Chicago Mix.

It is sent by smart post.  Fed ex sends it slow speed to their smart post centers, then eventually hands it over to the post office, and then how ever long your local post office usually takes to deliver.  So yeah, by buggy, lol.  The boxes don't ever make it in 2-3 days because it is send ground/smart post.  

The delivery times are almost always generous.  Usually the boxes arrive anywhere from 1-4 days faster than estimated.  But since there is a holiday this Thursday, that might affect deliveries depending on how far it has to travel/when it is truly shipped (not just a label created).  

They changed their policies in the last few weeks, that they don't have to send boxes out until the 20th of the month now (it used to be by the 15th), so there is a VERY good chance many boxes wont be received until the end of the month/beginning of the following month now.

Have you tried leaving the room? Sometimes I think a candle doesn't smell like anything, but if I leave for a few minutes, the smell hits me when I enter the room again. I'm about halfway through the candle and mine definitely has a fragrance.

Yeah, I left the room twice and it didn't smell like anything. I was so bummed out because the scent smelt really good before lighting! It just didn't promise it scent for me when it was lit.

Mine has a stronger scent when unlit too, but I can still smell it some when it is lit.  Once I blow it out it smells stronger than when it was lit too.  I think it is just a lighter smelling candle.  If you're used to BBW strongly scented candles, that could very possibly why you can't smell it, lol.  Those candles are like nuclear bomb strong. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 
I got my box today and I do like the little clutch/wallet thing. My phone fits and I can put a credit card or some bills in the zippered compartment. I would have preferred a real wallet as my old one is reaching the stage where it could be replaced .. but it's going to come in handy whenever I don't need to lug the whole thing around. Love the color.

And the books is gorgeous. I doubt I'll make a lot of the recipes, but they seem like a great inspiration .. and maybe when a special day comes around?

The popcorn is terrible imo .. but that's just me. I had that kind before and I just can't stand the cheddar flavor and the caramel is too intense. I'm more of a simple salt/butter or kettle-corn kind of girl ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

(My kids love it ... so it won't go to waste).

The rest .. will get used.

I love the BBW candles, and bought a bunch of the mini ones two falls ago.  My husband has put his foot down though and says no more ever.  Every time I lit one, the both of us had watery eyes and I'd get stuffy sinuses.  They are just too strong for us, even though I lie and use them anways, lol.  

We've been using Illume brand mostly, other than candles that come in sub boxes.

Me too!! Hey other Ohio pal :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I received my box today with no shipping notice.  I never received responses to my 5 emails but then again I never heard back from October either (the extra charge was just reversed).  This was a nice box and I actually loved the popcorn (great combo) but I've cancelled for good since it's just not worth the annoyance or questionable curation (NM). 

I truly hope they sort out their issues for all of you ....

 
Label printed on the 17th, box scheduled to arrive on the 26th. I'm so impatient and so annoyed

 
I have been ridiculously excited for this box... checking e-mail/mailbox daily for signs of it shipping. Sadly, I just discovered that the year subscription I bought last October ended last month.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm hoping that I quickly move off the wait list and get the November box.    

 
I just posted on Facebook. This is ridiculous. They created the label Monday and STILL no movement. And that was created in CA not NY so the snow isn't an excuse. It's now after the 20th so what excuse now. I just want my box
