My tracking updated last night around 9pm, but then updated again this morning.

Mine has already reached Sacramento. Estimated delivery date is Monday 9/15.

I expect it to be here by Friday or the latest Saturday.

I live in the SF Bay Area, so Sac is only a couple hours away from me. My box shipped from Gilroy & this is also a free referral box for me.

Maybe all referral, long time (never canceled) membership boxes process first, and so on from there. It makes sense. But I also believe it takes a long time to ship due to the box weight. If Popsugar was just a newsletter, of course we'd get them faster in the mail as it would just be a piece of paper.

So far, I might trade the Fall LE scarf for another one of the Sept box scarf if I like it that much. However, I do want another Indie Lee cleanser because I love it so much..

If I hadn't received a shipping notification last week I'd be much more chill about it but the anticipation is driving me crazy. I keep hoping that it just missed the first scan but at this point that doesn't seem likely.

Usually I feel the same way too. I used to refresh my tracking page a million times a day! But after the Fall LE disappointment, I'm not that excited since I'm still upset! LOL!

 
Oooh I totally understand. I am still so sad over the LE box. I was able to trade some of the stuff, but I still feel like I wasted my $100.

I had emergency surgery last week (who gets a kidney stone in their 20s ugh?...) so I don't have a whole lot to do except lie in bed and obsessively track my packages. Once I saw spoilers for this box the need to have it in my hands increased tenfold.

I know some people are bummed with this box because it isn't exciting, but to me it is perfect. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

No tracking for me either, back door or otherwise.

I've noticed I get tracking and delivery much faster when I have a regular subscription, When I re-subscribe or gift myself a box, it tends to ship much more slowly.

I'm in MA too, and I noticed I was charged tax  (haven't been in the past). I'm wondering if this maybe means they  have a facility here? Maybe faster shipping....a girl can dream........

I always forget that this forum isn't full of Californians. California sales tax makes me want to vomit all over myself :angry:

If I don't use a coupon code my box is around $43.xx Even while still using a coupon, I'll still pay $2-3 more due to sales tax. It's wonderful. I effing love California.

I feel your pain. I live in Washington where Amazon is based, so I have to pay sales tax on everything from Amazon! Even e-books! I see people bragging about what a great site it is and how everything is cheaper and for me it's no cheaper than going to the store :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I think that whole tax thing is kind of wonky. If it's an online company they shouldn't charge sales tax. In my opinion brick and morter stores (and their websites) are the only ones who should require sales tax. (But I understand there are draw backs to that because it could hurt the business of brick and morter stores. I don't want to get political or anything so please disregard if this offends anyone.) It just drives me nuts when I'm placing an order online and I suddenly get tax added because it turns out the online company is based in WA.

In other news... I am excited about getting my new scarf. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am in NY and I got charged tax, so probably not. On the other hand,  I did see people mention some were shipping from NY so who knows.

Amazon charges me tax on everything (most online companies do), but it still usually ends up being cheaper than a lot of stores where I live so I go with it.

YES, INSANE! Will it be processing for a 1.5weeks? Do they ship them and just not tell you?

. It's called smartpost ..... They pack the boxes and electronically initiate the labels (fedex) and slap it on the package. Then 1 to 3 days later it actually gets picked up by Fedex to go to their facility and is checked in, then travels to one of their hub facilities to transfer to a USPS, gets there and goes into the regular US postal system. Then travels leisurely to your destination. Mine starts from Gilroy CA, travels up to Troutdale, OR.(two hrs away) then heads up to northern WAshington and handed over to USPS and makes it way back to me 5-7 days later. I can get a USPS package faster from the East Coast. LOL!
 
This may be a silly question, but I keep seeing folks refer to a tiger print scarf... where did that come from?  Did PS send out another email promoting this box?  I haven't see it and am now worried.

As for folks waiting on a shipping update, mine FINALLY showed up on the FedEx site, but is only shown as having initiated yesterday evening.  PS site still says 'processing' -- this is a referral box for me so I assumed the delay was due to that.

And I live in GA and get taxed on both Amazon and Zappos.  Usually, I can't be bothered to check if I can find something cheaper locally because the convenience trumps all.  While I prefer to pay no taxes (who wouldn't?), from a legal standpoint, I'm pretty sure they should be collecting and paying sales tax - whether we like it or not.  My civ pro & tax knowledge is rusty at this point, but if memory serves me right, the obligation stems out of whether the company has sufficient presence within/contact with a state such that they benefit from costs expended by the state.  It's easier to say conclusively "yes" where there is some physical location (even a warehouse that's only used some of the time) and gets trickier when they're just shipping boatloads of goods into a state. It doesn't help that mom & pop stores (and Walmart/Target/etc. under the guise of "protecting mom & pop stores") truly are being disadvantaged.

Even though I complain about it, I mean, I live in CA, where our tax is too high. For a short period of time our tax was 10.25% in my city. People were outraged and it got lowered back to 9.75% but people still look at me funny when I tell them that. It's expensive! LOL. I'm pretty much immune to paying tax on online sites. It sucks but everybody's in a business.
