PopSugar Special Edition Resort Box

[CSCS]

I got my box today! It's actually heavier than I expected. The bracelets are actually really beautiful. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them already. The clutch is nice and I'm sure I'll use it at a wedding or something this summer. The eyeliner is highly pigmented and I'm excited to try it out soon. The Epicuren is a really good size and smells a.ma.zing. The Clark's botanicals feels really, really nice on and smells great. It definitely feels like luxury. I haven't tried the taffy yet but I've long wanted to buy it from my local Brooklyn goods store (here in Brooklyn) but couldn't justify the $8 or however much it was for it. And the towel is soft, beautiful and amazing. I'm a huge fan of this box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If anyone is interested, you can buy the chain directly from RB of McD via email for $13.95 including shipping. Not bad at all! Just email customer service at [email protected] They have been awesome with customer service!!

Thanks! I have a lot of chain but would prefer theirs! So, I emailed them thanks to you. I appreciate your help so much. Nancy

I got my shipment email just now too! It says anticipated ship date Tuesday 8! WTH!!! They said they would ship them out by the 7th! Ugh, i'm so tired of this too! Don't even want to contact customer service since i see most people just get a generic response.

Thank you for sharing all your positiveness! It's a bright light on such gloomy pages! I haven't got my boxes yet and I have tried to remain positive. I feel Popsugar is trying their best to get out all the boxes. They have probably made some mistakes with their customer service not being up to par and not answering with wisdom, but it seems they are putting out some awesome boxes this month in both the monthly box and the LE Resort box and we should be glad they are starting to curate the boxes better. Yes, there was a problem with the supplier and they didn't give out the name which I respect, but it seems they held the boxes up so they could give us a better quality product. And a fine product it is at around $180.00. I can't wait to get mine. And all the other products from both boxes sound just as awesome down to the Sweet Water Taffy! Nothing I like better that a piece of taffy!!! I guess the longer I wait the more I appreciate these boxes and the more I will treasure some of the items in them. But, I think I will try and stay away from reading this forum at least till they arrive sometime later this week. Nothing against you all, I have enough heartache lately and pain with my health, I just want to stay more positive and uplifted and reading everyone's sadness just makes me sadder and not happy.

Ahhhh! Thank you! I have chain/bracelet that I think will work BUT I'm worried the clasp will be too small and I love the big lobster claw clasp on the RBoMcD bag! Totally emailing them. Thank you!

Thank you for saying most of what I have been thinking while reading this thread. I joined MUT mainly because of the subscription box threads and how up to date every one is. The second there is a coupon code or a spoiler this is the place I'll find it first. Unfortunately, the excitement of waiting for this box has not been as good of an experience as it has been in the past because of all the complaining. I realize that people are upset about the later shipping than they thought, but I can imagine people would be IMMENSELY more pissed if they got their box without a product or with a subpar product. I think this box is absolutely fabulous and I'm excited to get it, even if it is later than I thought it might be.

Stay positive SpiritWind and hang in there! There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it leads to salt water taffy and a pretty clutch!

 

[jbird1175]

Oh, and my shipping finally updated and my box is on the move. ETA: next Wednesday the 16th. I hope this is true b/c I am going out of town on Thursday morning!

Thanks so much, I emailed them about an hour ago and they responded already!

They also mentioned that they have a few of the bags that have slight scratches in the leather for sale right now if you contact this email.  They are selling them for $30.  I am wondering if this was the hold-up on the boxes.  I often think that the scratches and imperfections in leather gives it character but I may be in the minority /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thought I would share for those who may want to purchase.

Question: do you know if it is real leather or faux?

No worries,Spiritwind10! It's honestly a great box and if you think of the purchase like $25 for the towel, $25 for the bracelets, $25 for the spa items and $25 for everything else, you see how great of a value it is. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

hmmm, I guess I don't know, I assumed they were real leather...I will send a quick email and ask and can post when I hear back....this is what the email stated:

"We also have a few bags left over that had slight leather imperfections that we are selling at a discounted rate ($30)so feel free to tell your friends...early early Christmas gifts!!!"   Their CS seems to be very good so far!

They are real leather.  RB of McD is not the type of company to sell faux leather. It would ruin their luxury "brand".

 

[skyflower]

Oooh, what a great deal! Real leather I agree, slight wear can add character, and leather itself can take some stress. And 30$ wow! If it is fake leather though... imperfections in plastic... just weak points for delamination. I'd like a deal on imperfect turkish towels too

 

[hazeleyes]

I contacted them earlier about the chain, such quick response for how late it is! Really good customer service so far! I'd consider buying an extra clutch if I don't get the tan/navy in my box or through a trade, $30 is a steal!

 

[Babs28]

They have the Navy and Tan clutches available and they are "chainless".  The guy I am emailing back and forth with said this: "We only have a handful of the

Ocean/Alabaster Popsugar clutch (blue/tan) in the mixed media canvas/leather and they are "chainless"."   I just noticed that our bags aren't lined.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I hadn't unzipped mine until just now.  That was disappointing since I looked at the site and saw the lined #2 and ASSumed it was the same except for the mixed material.  I still like the bag though.

Exactly why I don't even want to bother emailing them, I'll just get the same old response. At least its finally shipped! Hope this doesn't happen again in the future, but I guess with subscription boxes, you never know. I can't really complain too much with the awesome palette and 50% off for April's box! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not sure about that. After all just like a holiday box, this one was clearly intended to arrive in time for spring break season. So you have people going on a resort trip next week and that might have just been the reason they chose to get the box .. and instead of at least getting most of the items, they get nothing but a quick email and completely unhelpful answers by CS. And add on top to that, there are people who've already received the boxes which does make it even sadder.

Or course, not being here on MUT helps since you wouldn't know .. but it's fun to be here.

I don't mind a regular box being later or earlier in the month (it's just annoying having to avoid certain websites because of potential spoilers) .. but a seasonal one with a fixed day like xmas or spring break is just bad. It's unrealiable. But, in all honesty, I wouldn't trust them to be on time with their promises by now anymore anyways. The boxes itself are wonderful and I've barely ever been disappointed with anything they sent. It just makes the whole experiences a little less fulfilling.

I know! I got the same also. Very Disappointed! Especially since it's going "SmartPost" which is truly the slowest form of mail I have ever watched via online tracking, I think it's even slower than media mail. Here's hoping I get my box before Easter :/

 

[JenMiele78]

I am really hoping for the all Navy clutch!

I was just going to share the same thing! I thought it was a shot in the dark, but I really wanted the chain, so I emailed then too. They don't really sell the chains separately, but said that "due to popular demand", they are making a few available to those who ask. They didn't realize how many people would want a chain and wished they would have included them in the first place. Such a nice response! I'm excited to have mine with a chain.

I got my box today! It's actually heavier than I expected. The bracelets are actually really beautiful. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them already. The clutch is nice and I'm sure I'll use it at a wedding or something this summer. The eyeliner is highly pigmented and I'm excited to try it out soon. The Epicuren is a really good size and smells a.ma.zing. The Clark's botanicals feels really, really nice on and smells great. It definitely feels like luxury. I haven't tried the taffy yet but I've long wanted to buy it from my local Brooklyn goods store (here in Brooklyn) but couldn't justify the $8 or however much it was for it. And the towel is soft, beautiful and amazing. I'm a huge fan of this box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's nice to hear so many positive reviews of the items. I'm so excited for this box. Actually, the April one too! Mine haven't shipped yet, so I just keep drooling over photos and enjoying the descriptions. Kind if wish I had bought two, but I've got to get a handle on my subscription addiction.....
