Well, my october box showed up today. I'm very happy about that. I never got shipping info. I was charged for 2 boxes though (ordered 1), so I better either be getting another or a refund!

Edited with my input. I'm actually really happy with this box. I wish none of this mess had happened because I think it's an awesome mix of items and kinda getting a bad rap with all the other drama. Poor October box.

Socks - seem maybe a little big for me, but they are soft and I love the print.

Eye pencil - I've been wanting a grey and I really like this one. It goes on really well.

Frame - way better than I expected. (Not worth the value to me though)

Candle - smells nice, a little let down it's not a fall scent. But it's a really neat idea. I'll probably gift it though - I'm not a huge candle fan

Malt balls - LOVE

Nail art - very cute! I'm really glad I got them in time to use them

Soap - smells really nice. I'll try it when I run out of my current soap but I think I will like it

Bjb code - eh. not crazy about this, but it will be fun to try it out.

Bottom line - if they want to not refund me and send me a second box - I would be okay with that. Not happy about the way they handled all of this mess, but it wouldn't be the end of the world for me now that I have my hands on the stuff.

Got my box yesterday, FWIW - I never got a shipping notice, and I wasn't in the group that got an email about a late box.  I hope everyone else gets theirs soon!  Arriving on the 22nd and it's NOT a late box is crazy.  

I also signed up for BJBE and used the code no problem.  It's honestly the only thing I'm excited about in this box, so hopefully I get some nice stuff!

 
I also hope BJBE is as good as Le Tote, which I've been using for a couple weeks now and LOVE.  It's my favorite subscription box now!

 
I received my box today; I really like it!

Just to let everyone know, the Blue Jean Box coupon for $40 off an "express" box can also be used for their sale items.  They have a few styles of really cute, mostly organic cotton socks for half-price.  I was able to order 3 pairs for $7.97 shipping included, because the coupon took $20 off of the total.

Of course, shipping is ridiculous or else the socks would have been free.

Still, it's a good price.

They also have a few bath/body and candle items.  And some bags and wallets.

EDIT-

I'm sorry I don't know how to respond to others' posts.

The $40 value of the giftcard is put towards their clothing box only; you fill out a questionnaire and they send you clothing to match your preferences.  They do charge $20 for the service but that is deducted from your box charge if you keep something from the box instead of sending it all back.

I chose not to purchase the box and took a chance and applied the coupon code to the sale items.  I was happy to see that it worked that way!

BJB never called me to process my Credit Card like they promised in the email.  I guess I'll try to put the code in again on their website, maybe they corrected the problem.  They could've at least emailed me and let me know about it.

So the $40 off only amounted to $20 off when shopping straight from the site?
 
What a day.  Both of my sub/boxes resolved themselves today. I got my PS box, totally unexpected. No shipping, no tracking, no apology email, it just showed up. By now, the contents aren't news.  No real variations (gray eye liner, socks, etc.).  I wish i didn't like the malt balls.  Dang.  SO good.

Just when I thought I was done with PS.  I am still not happy this box was so late and they were so secretive about everything this month. Contemplating the NM box. Hoping by the time I decide, it's sold out. :lol:

For those of you still waiting, I hope it shows up soon.

 
I used my BJB code to get a pair of socks for my husband. The socks were on sale for $5, and shipping was like $14! The code worked for $20 off (not $40) when used that way, but I wasn't interested in trying the express box, so hey, free pair of socks works for me! One stocking stuffer down :) 

 
I was charged at the beginning of October for mine.  I never received an email saying it was going to be late, I have no tracking (checked all the sites) and have sent them an email which of course has received no response.  GRR.

 
Well,tracking through fedex, no tracking from popsugar, says it will be arriving Nov 3! Lmao Just great.

 
I need the help of the MUT girls this month!  

I cancelled my PopSugar account back in September.  I got charged for the October box anyway.  After numerous emails to popsugar and NO response, I finally contacted my bank who credited me the $39.99 charge.  Today, I received my popsugar box in the mail!  Do I return to sender?  Is there any way to get in touch with PS and make sure that I dont receive anymore boxes?  Any advice would be appreciated!

 
I received mine today (Indy suburbs) and had I felt better I might have been a wee bit more excited.  I opened the mailbox and something smelled amazing, but I couldn't figure it out.  I was too afraid to super sniff because scents make my headaches 10x worse.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If I feel better in a bit I may investigate.  

Has anyone received a candle in anything other than pomegranate?  

I've never used nail decals in my life, but these are cute!  I think I'll save them for next year since I've already planned to do a black polish w/ eyeballs.  (Totally out of character for me, but I'm going to try it!  My first nail pen ever!)

 
Freak! Finally!  Had no tracking through either shipper or on Popsugar as of this morning.. but my mail box had a key in it!  It was my box.  

I'm undecided on the malt balls.  They initially taste good, but give my throat a funny feeling when eating the outer orange layer.  Did that stop me from eating 3 of them in a row?  NOPE! lol

I love the candle.  I'm boring, so I just wrote "love" on it for now.  I like the pomegranate scent, and it fits a fall smell in my opinion.  

Socks will be going to a Christmas gift to somebody, they're cute, but I'm just not a huge sock person, I get hot feet.  

I like this kind of picture frame.  I probably wont use it until much later when I eventually move, but it'll go to use at some point.  

Love the eye liner.  I was expecting regular grey, but I like the gunmetal sparkly it really is.  

I saw in posts today you can use the bjb credit towards a regular purchase, so I might try that, I'm not into clothing subs and they don't have my size.  

If I see my sis-in-law this weekend, I'll probably give her the nail decals for her and her girls since I wont really use them.  

I don't know if I'll use the soap yet or not.  It might be gifted as well.  

For any of you who bought a gift box and not a regular ongoing sub... does your account with Popsugar give a link to "cancel subscription"?  I didn't sign back up for a sub, just bought a gift box, but I have this clickable link.  I don't know if it'll auto rope me in for a box for November now and I should click it to stop a Nov charge...or if it just always says that for everybody now.   It does list no future payments too, which confuses me even more.  I've emailed customer service, and got no response--to which Facebook people told me I never sent an email and suggested I'm stupid and didn't email the right addy. So their system lost my email apparently.  I sent a new one in today, but I doubt I'll hear back in time to cancel if needed.

 
I finally got my box today, totally unexpectedly.  Everything was great... except the melted heap of pumpkin malt balls.  I broke off a chunk to try and I don't like the flavor.  Oh well, I like everything else and it will all get used.

 
Well, well, well... what should arrive but my Popsugar box today? 

I signed up for the FedEx delivery program but my box wasn't in the system so I thought for sure that I wouldn't get it any time soon. But I somehow found my October box sitting at my front door today after work. XD I guess all's well that ends well. 

 
I got my box today and what did I do? Ordered a gift box with the MSA code. No, lesson not learned. I think I'll have less frustration since the contents will make great holiday gifts and I'm not so anxious to get them before halloween (the nail decals, sheesh. So stinking cute and I really hope everyone gets theirs before halloween so the decision is theirs on whether to use them or not).
