POPSUGAR Must Have - October 2012

[alliekers]

Mine says it's still processing as well. Hoping I get the shipping confirmation sometime soon. Even though I say I want to be surprised, I wouldn't mind some hints/spoilers. Wonder if Popsugar is going to give any hints this time?

Kinda annoyed...there was a glitch with the credit card and now my account is on hold. I emailed mulitiple times and haven't really gotten a response.  Wondering if I'm going to lose out on the October Box.

Woohoo! I just looked up the September box and it was 3.1 pounds and it was packed. I can only hope for good things in this one, I can't wait to get it!

QUESTION for those who have gotten referral boxes before!    OR for those who have ordered Gift Subscriptions....

How do you "redeem" the referral boxes once eligible?

I'm trying to determine whether I have the October box coming to me.  On Oct 8 I reached "Influencer Status" and was eligible for my first free box.  But the October box had sold out on the website a few days earlier...      

Before the Oct box sold out I had also placed a successful gift subscription order for the October box, and that went through for sure.

Now, under my account details, it has under "Gift Subscriptions" that there is an active order for October box that is processing (which I expected - that's the present being shipped to a friend.)

But I noticed under my account details for the "Subscriptions" general tab it has an order for the October box.   Under the cost tab it just says (paid) instead of the total I paid for the gift subscription October box.  The Gift Sub box one gives the actual dollar amount.  I can't tell if it lists the Gift Sub box under both tabs or what.

ANYWAY.... How the freak can I tell if I'm getting a referral box for October or if I have to wait until November?  They just send them whenever they like, there's no button or link for you to redeem once you reach the right referrals?     I was SO BUMMED when I saw the October box had sold out so I am really hoping my referral freebie is for this month!  Somebody give me some exciting news /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just sent them an email to make sure i am getting an oct. box for a referral and they answered right away.  just email them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I didn't buy any gift subscriptions but I do have a free referral box for October (I emailed PopSugar to ask what month it would apply to). Mine says the same as yours under subscription. It has "paid" for October vs. September it had "$XX.XX" (the amount I paid). My hunch is that you are getting the October through your referral. You should email popsugar and ask, they are very quick in answering questions. I hope you get good news!

I keep emailing them with no response...ugh

Sounds like you wont get the reffreal box until November but I would just shoot them and email to be sure.

I used this page https://musthave.popsugar.com/contact to contact them when I had a problem and they got back to me really quick

Thanks ladies, I'm taking your replies as a good sign and will just keep stalking my account.  Unless I can't handle the suspense, in which case I'll email them. 

I honestly have no idea why I don't want to email them.... maybe I don't want my hopes and dreams for a fantastic October to be crushed. 

(

  Yes, total exaggeration!)

When it says (paid) that means you are getting the box free as a referral box.  I am almost certain you are getting the gift subscription you paid for, as well as, the free box you earned!

My hunch is that there is something halloween related in the box, and that is why it is shipping out early !! Ive had the Popsugar box since July and it seems to get better each month!

mines 4.2 punds too!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine is still processing. Are the ones that have tracking being sent farther? I live pretty close but I think it would be a good idea for them to process the farther away ones first so that the boxes do not arrive completely weeks apart (also prevents us from wanting to peek and spoiling ourselves for days and days while others get it first).

Mine also says processing and am wondering the same! I was thinking since I live in-state they'd ship mine later in efforts to have all boxes arrive around the same time.

I live in NYC...Mine started in Watsonville yesterday, arrived in Sacramento early this morning, and now it is in transit from there... every box so far has taken exactly 7 days (including weekends) to reach me from the day it leaves the first fedex facility /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My gift sub and my hopefully-coming referral box are still processing.  One is going to the east coast, one is going to Texas.  I'll update if they show up as shipping at different times.

Mine STILL says "processing" and no shipping email yet.  I don't know if I should be jealous, or worried!

Agree with both of you. I live closer too and still no notice of shipment for me. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll hear something.

I've been following these threads for the last couple of months! I love all the the info and codes.  Through subscribing, cancelling, and resigning up I ended up having 2 October boxes.  Oops.  Hope there are some really good things that I can use for holiday presents!
