Did you guys cancel your subscription for Pop Up Pantry right away after ordering dinner?

I received my box today and I am very happy with the contents! I also love the

little leather pouch
 they sent, probably worth $20 or something.

The

scarf is grey colored
and I cannot wait to wear it!

Oh, and the

Tracy Martin voucher...
I am not ready to purchase a new skin care product @full size so I decided to call them and inquire whether it could be applied towards a sample. The girl on the line was rather mean and I felt she really did not appreciate me wanting to try their samples. I politely said Thank you, but she already hung up on me without saying anything. Made me feel stupid. I mean, I expected a little more decent and courteous customer service even if they rejected my inquiry.

I am in love with Popsugar. No single box ever provided such variety, fun, anticipation and value. Great experience.

Oh regarding the shipping, my box was delivered via USPS. Fedex dropped it off at the local office...

It is kind of anticlimactic when I've been good and not looked to have them show me what is coming before it arrives. I wish they hadn't ruined the surprise that I had tried so hard to maintain.

Don't worry.... once you see/feel the scarf for yourself you'll get that climax you're looking for /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

No, friend said it might be better to wait until after we received our dinner.

You are automatically enrolled.  They say you are never charged unless you order something, but you are still subscribed.  You can skip a month with ordering by clicking a link.  I'd assume we are all safe to cancel once we placed our food order, but who knows.  It's a little goofy.

Ugh, I saw the prices for those skin care products on the website and felt like it was too much with a coupon to try new products even with $25 off. Don't feel stupid, it's their fault that they choose to have this code be only by phone. I

Mine was too. That's how SmartPost works, its a cheaper shipping method, where usually Fedex sends it to some main hub and then USPS takes over. One time I had a package using like UPS SmartPost equivalent and it was even worse, the status said it was delivered and it was only at the post office. I freaked out and could not get an answer from UPS and was told to complain to the sender.

I must comment on Popsugar's amazing customer service!  I got the box today and my postman apologized that he had needed to tape it up as when he got it the contents were spilling out.  Everything was there, but clearly had been a bit bent and mangled.  It was all usable, just not beautiful, and I was extra disappointed as I felt like I had waited a long time.  I sent an e-mail to popsugar and they responded within an hour that they would send out a new box.  I am absolutely amazed!  I have never had a challenge resolved so quickly, and with no arguing!  Thank you popsugar!

Hey everyone I had a hard time finding show listings if I understand correctly it starts showing on 10/5 ? But I could be wrong and the theaters seem limited ! Here is the theater listings I have found! http://perks-of-being-a-wallflower.com/theaters.html hope this helps let me know if you used your tickets

I accidentally posted this in the October thread and then realized my mistake.   So here it is, in the appropriate month's thread!

===============

Dang, I have been waiting forever for my box and it's not even supposed to arrive until Oct 6!    I'm so impatient, but I love reading all the positive reactions. 

I was reading through some of the

Tracie Martyn product reviews at makeupalley
and was not impressed, based on the reviews in relation to the product prices. 

So so so excited about this box (my first subscription.)  Ack, hurry up and get to me, package!

It was opened with very limited release a few weeks ago (like 4 theatres), then it was a slightly wider release and it will be a much wider release on 10/5. I was concerned that this was going to be one of those very limited release ones where I would have to drive to one of those indie friendly movie places but saw on wikipedia today that there is a larger release tomorrow and found some listings closer to me. If you go on fandango, you will see the times and locations. I also live in the SF Bay Area, so there might be more options for me than if you live in a different area. (I'm happy it will have a wide release because usually limited release also means limited time and I would have to go read the book a lot faster).

I am SO excited about this box!! I just received mine. Yes, it's 3x the price of any other boxes I subscribe to, but it's totally worth it.

Only thing I'm not thrilled about is that I got the beige scarf and I think the grey/silver would've looked better with my skin tone. Maybe in a month or so when I get a little paler it'll be a better contrast?!

Can't wait for October!

 

[DiorAdora]

Wow I just ordered the popuppantry for my parents! The selections went fast my golly ! I ended up getting them the Moroccan stew I hope they enjoy! Wow I can't believe that scarf is an 84$ scarf! I'm in heaven!

 

[Christy327]

I absolutely loved this box.

 

[Antidentite]

Wow, I haven't even received my box yet and popuppantry.com is basically out of all their meals, there is only one more available to use the code with.  I'm pretty sure anyone could use that code, not just popsugar must have members.

Wow, I received my box today, and I was just going to register, quite disappointing. I wonder If I wait?

I noticed that the back of the pass explicitly states that you *must* redeem these via Fandango, so that is actually a sign to me that it's really not going to be an indie theatre sort of thing.

More noticing:  The site states that they roll out new items each week.  I wasn't too thrilled with the options (between avoiding certain things because they're migraine triggers and just not liking other things, I'm a very finicky eater), so there wasn't really anything that grabbed me even when considering the sold out items.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that next week's menu is more appealing to my picky palate!

I accidentally posted in the wrong months thread too!

I got my box today and I love it! It's really awesome.

I already ate the cookie and the caramels lol. They were both so good!

Super stoked that I got this box.

Does anyone know how long it will be before they restock, or how long our code is good for? I want to use mine, and I don't mind waiting, but I don't want to loose my chance.
