Popsugar Must Have October 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[jebest]

I am so mad at them I can't stand it, I also got another buy this baby shower box email, yeah not going to happen.

I received shipping notice a few days ago, but fedex says my box is still inititiated. Maybe my box was lost or there are product issues? My address is on file and has been since the week the site reopened (i had ordered a sept gift box shortly after relaunch). I just want the nail decals before halloween.

And after I emailed them earlier this month about my referrals and they assured me I had them, I was charged for this month. I am furious. I just emailed them back and told them to reverse the charge and I want to cancel if I don't have the referrals.

Woo-Hoo!  What a surprise!  My box is here.......I usually get my box a full 10 days after you all start posting your pictures on here.  I can't believe I got mine already.  I really wasn't expecting it until Nov 10th.

Keep those fingers crossed girls!

My shipping address was not on file when they went to the new site.  --and it still isn't listed on their site.  I'll add it now, just in case.

I did not get an email from them the other day, but I NEVER get their emails.  I have no idea why.  I've been subbed since their 2nd box.

I still have no "Shipments Pending" or tracking number.

No "Back Door" tracking for my old sub number, or the new (very low number) subscription number.

Now, On to the goodies.....

Candle:  Scent is pretty strong.  I can't seem to find an actual scent listed on it, but it's flowery.  Chalk was destroyed!  **edit** Scent is Pomegranate**

Eye Liner:  Box is destroyed & covered in chalk.

Socks:  Color does NOT look pink to me.  I really love pink, so I'm a bit disappointed.  All my kids agree.  These socks contain more of a red color.  They are also on the small side.  I wear a size 8 shoe, and they are tight.  I like my socks that way, so they work.  Hopefully others will be able to get them to fit.

Picture Frame:  Really nice quality.  I'm surprised.  Perfectly fits a post card.

Malted Milk Balls:  Nice pumpkin-y taste.  They arrived unmelted.

Nail Decals:  Cute.  I'm super happy they arrived in time to be used.

Blue Jean Bar code:  I'm setting up my account soon.

Does it say what we can use the Blue Jean Bar code on? I was looking at the website and they have a boutique where you can order from. Can we use the $40 there?

So I posted earlier that I realized my address was also missing... So I added it... Then came home from work just now to find my box on my door step! So those who didn't have an address saved, they still must have them on file and don't fret! I didn't get any kind of shipping email or anything but my box arrived safe & sound /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hooray I came home to a pretty pink and white pop sugar box waiting for me!  I never got a tracking email and my acct still says pending so it was completely unexpected (nice to still be surprised despite knowing the contents of the box)!  I hope everyone else receives their boxes quickly too!  My candle is Pomegranate there is a sticker on the bottom of the candle that says the scent. The nail decals are not something I would normally gravitate towards but hey its halloween perfect time for something cute and playful.  I m already wearing the socks they say size 9-11 I m a size 8 shoe but the socks still fit nicely.   I m pretty happy with everything what a lovely way to end a busy week!!  Now I m ready speculate for November lol.  I would love something cranberry maybe like a nice scone mix or something or something maple flavored, some mittens that convert to fingerless gloves, a gratitude journal, a fun mug set, I would love a hair tool (have they ever sent anything like that ), I am really eyeing the urban decay naked 2 basics palette , maybe some candlesticks w/  pretty holders

(perfect for a holiday/party tablescape), I think maybe some kind of deal from like snap fish for picture prints or a discounted book or from one of those companies that prints your pictures from instagram for ya would be nice for around the holidays and we all have a pretty nifty new frame to put pictures in /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and just some really fun and awesome things  *fingers crossed... come on pop sugar you can do it!* . What would u lovely ladies like to see?  Hope you all get your boxes soon!!!!  Happy weekend!

Does it say what we can use the Blue Jean Bar code on? I was looking at the website and they have a boutique where you can order from. Can we use the $40 there? 

 Ok so here s what the pop sugar info card says:

Enjoy $40 off your express box filled with hand picked items that are delivered right to your doorstep monthly!

The card itself says 

BJB EXPRESS $40 off your express box  Valid thru november 30th 

We send boxes of handpicked outfits to your doorstep monthly 

40+ brands of denim, amazing apparel, shoes, and accessories to choose from

No upfront cost or commitments 

Sign up at 

bjbexpress.com  

then gives a unique code to use 

Questions call us 844-428- Jean

Fine print says its non- transferable may not be exchanged for cash.  Each code is a unique code and may only be used once Free domestic shipping international recipients may be responsible for customs fees and other shipping charges. etc etc

So sounds like its not for the boutique.  I ll try it I ve had fun with stitch fix, always fun to try once.  Hope that helps!

*so I tried to sign up but my code says its expired or not valid... oye vey ... did this happen to anyone else?

 

[farrah3]

:angry:

BJB Express code is reading "Coupon expired or not valid" for me too.

Grrrrrr...........especially after taking the time to set up my account!

I have emailed pop sugar twice now and have not gotten more than the generic response that my email was received.  I understand they are busy but it should not take more than a week to get a response.  Twice now I have gotten billing error messages saying I need to update my card on file.  I already did that at the beginning of the month and I just did it again with the same card info.  I still haven't been charged and the money is sitting in my account waiting for them to take it out.  If I didn't love Popsugar so much I would just cancel my account.  And if they are not going to charge me and send me a box this month I could use that money for something else.  SO FRUSTRATING!

Man that is frustrating sorry I don't have any awesome advice to help ya out here.  Hopefully you get it figured out soon and get a box full of goodies you love. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

All i keep thinking this month is man I m glad at I don't work at POPSUGAR right now, what a madhouse that must be!  Eeeek!

 

[Traci Ann]

I got an email from them after I sent one about my expired brownie, they said they would send me some items to compensate for it. We shall see. 

 

[shadowcat78]

I've seen a few comments on Facebook that Popsugar has double charged some people for their October box.  Geez, things just keep going downhill.

I've seen a few comments on Facebook that Popsugar has double charged some people for their October box.  Geez, things just keep going downhill.

I was just triple-charged for a box that I should have received free from referrals. No response to my email yet. Ugh, so frustrated with PS this month! 

 

[Bizgirlva]

I got my box today and as usual I like it way better than I did when I first saw the pics/spoilers.

The box smells great, between the candle and the soap, it's so refreshing.

The socks are a little snug but hopefully that means they won't slid down my foot in boots.

Even though neither my bf nor I really like maltballs we devoured the ones in this box and he'll use the bar soap.  

Still planning to gift the candle and picture frame and trade the nail stickers though.  

Now to investigate this BJB express thingy....

 

[ikecarus]

Hmmm... still nothing for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MET]

I have never seen a website upgrade go so wrong :huh:    I was checking my credit card statement and noticed that I was charged twice for the October box (one early in the month and again this past Wednesday).  Now I have to deal with their under-resourced Customer Service team on the billing error and of coarse I am still waiting for a response on my earlier email about the status of the actual box. 

 

[rachelnyc]

I tried the mani decals tonight and I think they're really cute! I used them with Sephora Formula X polish in Dark Matter (black) and Thrilling (very light purplish gray--closest I had to white, which was what I really wanted to use). I figured I'd post here for one idea on how to use them! Sorry about the bad lighting...I had trouble getting my phone to focus and take the pic with one hand  :wacko:



I'm excited to use as many as I can for the next few weeks! At least two of the designs don't scream Halloween, so hopefully anyone who gets their box late can still use some of them :/

 

[normajean2008]

Small PSA:  Anybody who loved that crisp cake rice crispy treat thing that came in the PopSugar boxes before... If you live in or around the Glendale, CA area--- they have a ton of varieties of that same brand at the candy shop called "Lolli and Pops" in the Glendale Galleria mall!  I was there today and they had a huge assortment of them.  I know a lot of people loved it, so I thought I'd let everybody know in case there are others in this area. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Meanwhile, I still have no tracking, no emails about a delay, and no box magically appearing in my mailbox.  It'd be super awesome if it showed up on Monday in time for my 7th wedding anniversary. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Okay excuse my rant but this is ridiculous. My account says my card was charged on the 5th but nothing had been taken out. My account wasn't updating so on the 15th I canceled it and emailed them. Still have not received anything back from them but of course I got charged yesterday for it. This is absolutely frustrsting. Am I the only one that has had this problem? I'm so disappointed and this was my favorite box.
