PopSugar + Neiman Marcus Collaboration **SPOILERS**

[MichiChan]

I got the same "check your spam folder" e-mail from Popsugar when I asked why I didn't receive the e-mails about the NM box.

Oh heeeeeeeeell no! That doesn't answer or solve the issue!

So I replied:

"Hi there,

I have Popsugar's e-mail address set as a safe sender which means that all e-mails come straight to my inbox. I set this up on September 1 when I first signed up for Popsugar so that I would never miss an e-mail from your company. Since then, the only e-mails I haven't received were the ones about the Neiman Marcus box; I received e-mails about the September box, my upgrade confirmation, the price increase and a shipping notification.  As the only e-mails I haven't received were about the Neiman Marcus box, I would like to know why I wasn't sent the 2 e-mails about it. There are others who also didn't receive them, and yes, we know to check our spam folders and add Popsugar's e-mail address to our safe senders list. But we also know that this wasn't the problem.

So I would like to know why your company didn't send me the notifications so that I have a real answer. Because at this point, the response below does not adequately address the problem or make me feel confident that the problem won't happen again."

I received a response on not getting any of the emails... They said I'm on the list and should check my spam. (Which I always do and they haven't been there either) so I'm not sure what happened. But they said it goes on sale tomorrow. Guess I'll set a reminder to check for it since I doubt I'll get an email!! Lol

Thank goodness for all you helpful ladies giving me the details!

If this box is more then $150, I'm going to have to pass. I just re-subbed for a year, plus subbed to Yuzen and it's just crazy how much I've spent! Fingers crossed it's in my budget!
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?

If the ring from the fall box was $75 and the box was $100, then I fear this one will be more like $250–$300. It seems unlikely that it would cost the same as (or less than) the throw, but I hope I'm wrong. 

I was thinking the exact same thing in my estimating how much this box could possibly cost. I think you are right, though I'm really hoping we are wrong. Actual items from Neiman Marcus are high end and expensive, so I don't think this is going to be one of those collaboration things like NM did with Target last year around the holidays. Those items were exclusively made for the collaboration and were made to be cheaper than items you would normally find in Neiman Marcus from those designers. So if the chevron throw is $195 on the website, this box is going to be more than $100. But I DO hope I am sooooo wrong about this. I really want to get this box. I work next door to Neiman Marcus and have to look into the store everyday with it's taunting ways reminding me of what I can't afford. LOL.

Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I am canceling Glossybox this month after the Byrdie box arrives because although their products are wonderful, their CS is horrendous. I am not afraid to let go of PopSugar for the same reason. No matter how nice the boxes are, if they aren't listening to their subscribers and taking their concerns seriously then they are not worth it--particularly with such a price increase!

I'm thinking we can get some ideas of what will be in the box from the Neiman Marcus holiday catalog Popsugar posted....http://shopping.onsugar.com/Neiman-Marcus-Christmas-Book-Shopping-32119510

I'm thinking things like the Deborah Lippmann polish, the Tom Ford makeup, the NM brand chocolate candy will be in the box. Anyone else have any speculations??

I bet you are right. And after looking at the items that are not size specific, there is nothing there that I need or really want that bad. I would hate for a large portion of my box value to come from a $100 pair of blinged out tweezers...

I would love the animal print frames or the Michael Kors bracelet!!

 

[Deareux]

If they release a spoiler that includes Tom Ford makeup...I might have to take the leap!

 

[MKSB]

I think the Dr. Dre Beats headphones have a good shot at getting thrown in as I believe they were included in a few of the Fancy boxes. Also a jewelry item like the Michael Kors link bracelet or one of the monogram necklaces. I'd love if they included a NM gift card too.

I would take all of that. Especially the Tom Ford makeup...LOVE. I also would guarantee an accessory (would love that Michael Kors bracelet <3)

Ugh...after looking at all of that, I don't know that I'll manage to resist...regardless of the price. *sighs* This could get ugly for my bank account.

I love the idea of getting make up, but at the same time I don't know that I want it in a mystery box this expensive. I rarely get my colors in these boxes. I guess there is always trading.

Good question; I would like to know this as well ... 

 

[cobainrls]

I have faith the box will be 100 bucks. Think back to the other boxes and the sunglasses were really expensive.

Ohh...I think you are right!  I wouldn't mind getting this bracelet!

But what am I saying? I am not buying this box.  I want to, but I am buying American Girl Dolls!

I kind of think so too. Because it's not like they're actually paying for the items in the box.i hope at least!
