PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[Tiana Kimble]

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.

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..

I think it's alphabetical. No matter how many times I cancel and resub I always get one of the first boxes. My last name starts with a C as well. Both of my boxes shipped at the exact same time, should be here soon. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm an A last name and mine didn't ship until today :/

I don't mind a little extra wait, so it's all good for me! But I've cancelled and resubbed, used different e-mails, and sometimes I've gotten shipped in the first wave, and sometimes it's taken a while. I think it's arbitrary - maybe by order number? Or are those consistently one higher than the order before? I have no idea, lol.

Lol, oh no, my last name actually starts with an R! I still don't know how they process all these things for the box. Maybe by subscription number? Baffled.

I'm a C and mine come pretty late.

Bad news: expected delivery is 9/18

Mine too, but with the LE box it arrived 7-8 days,ahead of schedule.

I have a feeling my chocolate will be melted by the time my box gets to me. :| it is so hot in the South. But, that is ok because the scarf and Oribe make up for it.

Yay good to hear. And I was thinking the same thing about shipping chocolate. A little early for S Louisiana!

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.

IL is over 10%, and in certain areas of Chicago, it can be over 12%.Who was it who said taxes are the price we pay for civilization? Did I totally mess up that quote?

 

[wurly]

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.

I received an email saying the package originated Friday. Now, after days of refreshing, Fedex says the package was just picked up by Fedex this afternoon! 2 business days later. I don't understand why they send the shipping information days before they actually release the packages to Fedex. Maybe it's some sort of efficiency in logistics or something. Just relieved it's finally on it's way!

Exactly - usually I notice my boxes are moving before I get the tracking email and this time I got one at origination. Just kinda frustrating since I am an obsessive tracker. I don't know what I'll do next month when I am at Disney World for a week... hugging Cinderella with one hand and furiously refreshing my phone for tracking updates LOL

I moved from Chicago to the Bay Area, ~10% is the normal tax rate in my mind. On the plus (?) side, every time I visit other states it's like literally everything is 10% off.

lol.  I did the opposite.  To Bay Area from Chicago.  I feel the same way about taxes.  When I travel somewhere else and it's "10% off" I always forget and get excited.  

How long have you been in Chicago??  Been to Bongo Room for brunch yet?  Best pancakes!

 

[Jill Cortright Nolan]

Wow, I'm not complaining about Maryland's tax rate of 6% again! Of course I was really spoiled going to college 4 years in Delaware, where there is no sales tax at all...

And my box is still "processing." Sigh.

I went there today! Easily one of my favorite brunch spots.

Hi there! I'm new to this forum and new to PS -- the September box will be my first. I see a few people have mentioned "backdoor tracking." Can anybody tell me how to do that? I'm an obsessive tracker...

I've been in the Bay Area for almost four years. Never went to Bongo Room, I'll check it out next time I visit!

I don't think the controversial "tiger stripe" image is an actual PS image - it's branded as a blog (lower right corner) and looks like it was just compiled for the spoiler post. She also posted the regular image with the ombre scarf as the actual spoiler image, so I'm thinking it's just a visual aid.

I agree. Also, the original PS spoiler photo states " get this luxurious fall essential". Since there is no fine print that states colors or patterns will vary, I am pretty sure it will be like the ikat scarf and everyone will get the same one. I think it would be too misleading to send different patterns, and PS would probably want to avoid that.
