PopSugar Special Edition Resort Box

[QuixoticGirly]

I am really hoping for the all Navy clutch! 

Me too!

 

[sarahinnola]

I'm sorry for everyone without their boxes!!  I did get mine today, and I will say it's work the $$ (and probably the wait).  The bracelets are spectacular -- the quality is so obvious when you feel them.  The towel is SO soft and luxurious.  I've already played with the eyeliner, and it's fun and great quality (not sure of staying power, though!).  The taffy is great, and the candy shop down the street from my apartment sells it when I need more... yay! The mist is lovely and the body wash smells great. I'm also really into the clutch, and will be taking the cues over everyone else and adding a curb chain!! Can't wait to use it all on vacation! I'm so happy I got a second box, so I can stack my bracelets and use two towels (I will not be sharing with hubby).  The other duplicates will make great gifts!

I was thinking about that, I usually order a couple of boxes of each sub for gifts, but the stuff adds up over time. I have so much stuff still wrapped up that I feel like the world's biggest hoarder. I ordered four FabFitFun boxes, bc they featured my perfume, Kai. My new goal is one box per sub. It always seems like the second box is so much less exciting than the first. The point of this is to discover new brands, not fill up shelves in my walk in closet or linen closet. (I sub to 12 boxes, I've ended up with a lot of stuff) I don't sell on eBay, and I don't trade. Too much hassle. I've actually found some amazing subs recently, bc I branched out.

Bummer that you don't trade. I have insanely curly hair & that turband gives it much needed ccol vibe & control!! Would LOVE another one & my Kai will never get used because most scents (esp florals) give me a headache! If you change your mind about swapping PM me!

I just realized who I'm talking to!! Sarah! Of the cool office trades! Hah! It's late.

My expected date of arrival is April 17th.  It won't make it by this Saturday like I hoped but, that is ok.  It sounds like it will be worth the wait.  My april PS box is due to come this Friday.  So I will get to enjoy that box for the week before the resort box comes.

I do understand people being disappointed.  Part of the excitement can get lost with waiting so long.  I hope everyone ends up getting excited as their ship dates get closer.

Was everyone's Cuyana Turkish Towel white or were there ones that were other colors? I always have trouble with white, no fail within 5 minutes I usually manage to spill something and stain it

Yep. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I gave the three extra turbans to my friends as gifts. Lol. Seriously, I cannot keep up I order so much ****. But I just love finding new stuff, and the boxes are always such a good deal.

Still no response from my email yesterday-

ETA is 04/16 - 8 days!!!!!!!!!! Good Mercy Me!! Yep, cancel PS sub. this month is the last.

 

[prettykitty00]

Mine finally arrive at the FedEx location, but estimated delivery is Thursday, April 17th!!!  Unbelievable.  Historically the estimated day on the PS box has always been a day or two later, so I'll be suprised if I get mine before Monday the 21st.

 

[wisconsinbeth]

My estimated delivery is April 17th as well.

On the other hand, I'm highly confused because it looks like 3 FabFitFun boxes are heading my way - each shipped a day apart......My debit card had expired so I was in the last shipments.  We'll see if 3 arrive....2 look like they are on the way, 1 is still processing.  I'll call them if they all arrive, but frankly, I'm terrible at mailing back so hopefully they won't want me to.  Better yet, it's just a snafu of FedEx tracking and I don't have to deal with it.

Holy cow!  Those bracelets are gorgeous!

Mine still hasn't shipped ... and FedEx hasn't received it either ... I doubt it'll be here by Easter.

Mine was very white with blue stripes, for some reason with the spoiler they gave I thought it would be off-white or cream but it's white. I too am worried about stains or even dirt from sand.

I haven't gotten my shipping notification on either this or my reg PS box yet. I guess it just gives me more time to excitedly anticipate their arrival.

Neither of mine have shipped yet, either. I loved PS for a long time, but I am burnt out on getting the run around. When I pay $108, I expect my box to be shipped when promised, they have now missed 2 shipping deadlines with no attempt to make it right. I don't feel like a valued customer. I am replacing this subscription with Book Riot from Quarterly. I will keep subscribing to Julep, Fabfitfun & Nina Garcia for the fun girly stuff and Barkbox for my dogs but that is it for me.

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 :/
Haha More like FedEx DumbPost /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Positive: Popsugar made sure that all of our items were in good condition, even if it was another company's error 

Negative: No attempt to compensate us with faster shipping or small account credit  Really not a good way to keep loyal customers, IMO.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for reaching out! Your Special Edition Resort box is on its way to you and your tracking information should be updated within the next 24 hours to reflect the updated movement! Please continue to check back for any updates!

We needed to reschedule because there is a delay with one of the products. We didn't want to ship incomplete Resort boxes, so we are sending them out as fast as possible. This issue wasn't foreseen which explains why, even though you ordered early, rescheduling was necessary. We are unable to offer any additional compensation, but please let us know if you have any additional questions and we'd be more than happy to assist.

Best,

POPSUGAR Support

Finally an answer- but not the answer I wanted- I wanted PS to offer something to those that have waited.

At the very least they should have upgraded the shipping for those that had to wait.

I've gotten both on Nina's boxes so far.  They are AMAZING!  I like FFF, too.
