PopSugar + Neiman Marcus Collaboration **SPOILERS**

[BratzFan]

I bought it. No taxes for me either (Iowa). Hope it's worth it!

No tax from PopSugar for Georgia Residents...yet.

Ugh. I have to sit this one out. I feel like the girl that doesn't get to sit at the cool table in the lunchroom.

And for anyone wondering... it's DEFINITELY looking like Christmas/Wintertime themed products are a possibility. After the purchase, it had a link to where the items will be sold after the Box release in November, and out of the 47 items in this guide's "Home" section, the Chevron throw is an item. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but that's just my guess. The only thing that worries me is almost all the "Home" items are just VERY EXPENSIVE xmas/winter decorations! Including a $170 SMALL CANDLE?! yikes. I hope most of the items are Clothes, beauty & accessories. I like that stuff much better. 
This is good to know; I was guessing one of the items was probably a candle. Can you share the link or post a screenshot so we have a better idea?

I'm still on the fence; really not sure I want/need winter/holiday items.

I wonder if it's the same issue that I've had with another situation. I'm the treasurer for our local school's music boosters. We use a specific program for communication, billing, etc. Whenever I send emails from that program, there are a few people who cannot receive them no matter what I've done or those not getting them have done. Turns out it was the service provider for the emails not letting the emails go through. For instance, one lady had her work email as the email listed and the IT department at her company had to "whitelist" us before she could get the emails.

Not sure that's what is going on here, but I wonder?

Yeah, that is the canned response.  I have this same problem with Julep's emails as well as with PopSugar.  It most definitely could be our email service providers causing the issue.  If there is content in the HTML code, images or text of the email that looks suspicious, even if it's truly harmless, you might not even see the email in your Junk folder.  It just doesn't get delivered.  Also, if a particular IP address has a history of sending "suspicious" content, or sending to bad email addresses, email providers will block their messages, too.  I bet these companies have REALLY small email marketing teams who just aren't trained/equipped to dig into their email deliverability metrics and identify where their emails are getting blocked.  You have to do some serious testing/monitoring with most email providers to "fake out" their tracking mechanisms and get your IP address off the blocked lists.   You also have to clean up your data on a regular basis!   So frustrating...

It's $265 for Michigan residents. I just ordered mine and I'm excited!

oooh where did you see the list of brands?!!!!

I am in.! Just ordered /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't think they'll drop the price. I do feel like they have low stock though.

 

[Deareux]

As curious as I am, I'm going to pass this one. I can't justify $270 for stuff I may or may not like. Plus, I have other expenses coming up including a new pair of glasses.

 

[MelissaB]

I wish I had self control. I am able to rationalize anything & just ordered. If I don't LOVE this box, I will never order another luxury box from PS again. I've cancelled all my subscriptions but PS & Bondi. I'll skip Bondi for at least a few months. And, I am officially on a no buy- except necessities.

 

[emmzk25]

Oh geeze $250 ps must really have wanted to up their prices. I probably shouldn't buy it. That's too high a gamble if I don't like the items.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper but $270 is a lot of money

I'm just saying that this might back fire on them. First they raised the montly price and now the super expensive box. 

I really hope you girls get your money worth with this box

Wonderful, thank you!! I'm from Michigan so I don't know how the in's and out's of Georgia yet... I don't even know how much their sales tax is :icon_neut  

I moved to Georgia from CA a couple of years ago. Welcome! pm me if you need anything georgia related!

 

[stephstrong]

Does anyone else think it's odd that there wasn't another spoiler considering the high cost of the box????

 

[tinkerbll695]

So with the LMdB kaleidoscope and the throw those two items make up about HALF the value of the box, so now 6 items are going to make up the other $300, one of which will probably be a food item like gourmet marshmallows or hot chocolate. 

I don't know....... this box will be  $265 for me. What to do, what to do...... I'll go back and forth and then finally decide to get it and the box will be sold out - that's what will happen!

 

[cobainrls]

I was willing to pay up to 150 for this box. I can't afford 250. Have fun ladies who bought the box. I really hope it is awesome! Kinda bummed I won't be buying this one.

I'm really really hoping there isn't another spoiler (unless it's the kaleidoscope given I already have some hint about that). They will do it if they need to push more boxes.  It's so much more fun to be surprised!

I agree, even though I am usually spoiler-crazy. With this box, I'm going to make an effort to remain as spoiler free as possible. Lately when I have read spoilers, I've thought that I would really dislike a box based on the reactions of others. Then, when it arrived, I was really happy with what I got. For $270 (boo, tax!) I want to remain as excited about this as possible, and hopefully that excitement will remain when the box arrives and I know all of the contents! Haha /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[alliekers]

I went ahead and ordered mine this morning. The Chevron throw will be perfect for my new place and hopefully the other items will be the icing on the cake. I'm hoping for some stuff for myself but also something I can use as a nice gift for someone else on my list.
