PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[elizabethrose]

Around Navy Pier, I think it's either a 2 mile or 4 mile radius, the tax is higher to support the Navy Pier project. I know that bottled water business is crazy. It's not even a deposit just an additional tax. Some of the parking garages in the loop charge separate tax too.

And the plastic bag ban will be enacted soon too.. Deuces shopping in the loop. (But let's be real, probably not, since I'm down there five days a week and only a few blocks from State)

Also, my shipping is taking for-freaking-ever. It says it won't be here till next Wednesday. Whatcha doin, fedex? Just holding onto that package forever?

Mine finally has back door tracking, weighs 2 lbs. I am curious as to why they would shut down there site for so long as well? Very odd

I caved and ordered a second box. XD

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.

Mine just updated finally from initiated to actually moving.  So it didn't start moving until late last night.  Right now it says departed Sacramento, but then they changed the date to next Tuesday for delivery instead of Monday.  As long as City of Industry doesn't stupidly hold onto the box for days, I should have it by Saturday.  The longest stretches for me are from Sac to City of Industry, then CofI to Chino.  Once it hits Chino they're usually on top of things and I get it same day or next day.  

I cannot wait to get my box!  I just hate how they send tracking emails so far in advance from actually shipping them.  I got tracking Thursday last week, with expected ship date of Friday... they didn't really hand it over until Late Monday though.

That's what I thought too. I got so confused when people started talking about different colors I had to go back and check the original email. I'm not worried about the scarf. It does say we get the one in the PS spoiler photo.

Nobody really knows if there are variations yet... but I'm the one who posted the other ad with different scarves.  I just felt like it should be posted just in case...  I don't know if PopSugar made the ad, or glamourable.com, or Tilo, it doesn't say.  

At first I thought that about the original ad for the scarf too, but technically speaking, it could go either way... as in "this"==a scarf, brand, price value.  There was also variations on that specific style on Tilo's website.  

Until we see more boxes I guess we wont know specifically, since PopSugar never answers Facebook questions with anything other than "its a surprise", lol.

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.

Wasn't it said before that orders furthest from warehouse shipped first, and those closer to the warehouse ship later, so we all receive the boxes relatively at the same time frame?  

I don't know if this is accurate or true, but this is what I know I remember reading about Pop Sugar last year here at makeuptalk.

I can't believe how excited I am for the pencils. What kind of a nerd am I?!?!? The kind that emptied out the pen holder on my desk in anticipation of the pencils arriving. And I will *need* at least one (two?) more sets!!

 

[hilaryrose90]

Okay, my box finally showed up on Fedex's website (although still no email) and it weighs a beautiful 2lbs, and is shipping out of New York! 

Actually, the FedEx it's shipping out of is only an hour away, and I don't have to be at work today for another four hours. Sometimes don't you wish you could just go pick things up!? 

 

[artlover613]

Does anyone else think it is unusual that only one person (who posted on instagram) has received the box. No other posts anywhere, as far as I can tell, to know if there are variations.

It has been five days!

She has a style blog and her post says thanks to PS for the gift box, so I'm thinking it was a freebie they sent her and not a regular subscriber box (and it's the only PS box she has on her 'gram).

finally mine started to shp with no expected date, in FL

in the email PS sent regarding the site being down from 9/10 to 9/16 - it said we are working on surprises for you and more boxes and a fresh, new site - also, it only came to 1 email address, i have used several to be able to use coupons and usually i get an email for each one....

 

[SuzeeLauren]

I got my shipping notification email on Friday 9/5 - and the tracking on FedEx says initiated 9/4 from Gilroy, CA, and literally nothing else.  No updates since then.  So PopSugar initiated my box on the 4th and it hasn't updated since.  Even the "expected ship date" still says 9/4, which is clearly impossible at this point.  I'm hoping it's just a glitch and that the box is traveling without giving me an update.  I'll give it 'til Friday to start moving along I suppose before I try contacting... FedEx?  I'm guessing we'd have a hard time reaching PS while their site is down until mid-next week.

 

[Rachel S]

Got a shipping email last night finally! Woohoo! Too bad the estimated delivery is a whole other week away. I won't bother checking the tracking and torturing myself now... Maybe I'll get surprised and it'll show up early!?

So do we think the box on IG is the box we're getting or no? I'm a little confused

ETA: Nevermind, I just looked up the photo myself and it is clearly the Sept box! I guess she just got it early as a "gift" to review. I can rest now that I know what is coming /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

this is what's happening to my box exactly! still no updates.

I'm getting my box either today or tomorrow ... it arrived at my local post office early this morning and oftentimes they deliver it that same day. Really curious about the scarf .. I was going to order a second box to gift it should I like it .. not sure if that'll be possible with the site down.

I'm really curious about the more boxes statement ..

 

[Moonittude]

Mine is still processing, but I ordered later than a lot of you. I really want to see more pictures of the scarf!

I actually really appreciate the ear buds, because my husband is always "borrowing" mine. I can keep this new pair in my nightstand for listening to my meditation stuff. I like some of the cards, but I'm not sure what to do with most of them. Maybe I will give the whole thing away. I would have rather had a notebook. I don't really use wooden pencils anymore. If they had been pens, or even just one pen, I would have appreciated them so much more. The food sounds good. I will take the Nike giftcard to the store downtown, and see if I can find anything I want. Maybe they will have a sale rack. i am interested in trying the hairspray.

Anyway, if I get the ombre scarf, then I'm fine with whatever junk I get in the box. I do think the rest of the box is kind of blah, though.

I'm pretty much glad that they're updating their website. I find it hard to navigate beyond the logging into account part... Even their other sites like buzzsugar, fitsugar, etc, freeze my computer due to, I don't even know what.

I do wonder, what they mean about more boxes.... I'm pretty sure that we can all agree that they should be working on IMPROVING THE LE's instead of maybe adding more boxes? The site is still up right now, as I went to go track my package again.

My package is in transit to my local post office. Pretty sure I'll get it by tomorrow.

 

[Julie Casey]

Yay! My delivery date updated to TOMORROW!

 

[ikecarus]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh why am I at work? XD My box is marked as delivered!

 

[Ruffinette]

I'm so jealous!!! Mine is still showing as expected delivery 9/18. I do expect it to move quicker than that, but argh, wish I was one of the lucky ones.
