Mine always come 2 days before the estimated delivery. That does suck though. Sorry.

jbird1175, mine says the 17th too. Often on SmartPost, when it says one estimated delivery date, I get it the day earlier (unless it's around the holidays when the local post office is crazy busy). Hopefully you'll get it the 16th.

Calling FedEx smartpost "as fast as possible" feels rather distorted to me.

Having "FedEx" and "smart" in the same sentence feels rather distorted to me.

Mine says the 17th too, which makes me think it isn't accurate. I usually get mine a few days before the estimate, but it seems weird that they are all the 17th. I expect mine on Monday.

My box arrived! I love the combination of black box and blue/black tissue paper. 

Towel

My new favorite thing. The quality seems very nice. I'm looking forward to a bath tonight! We seem to be adopting a stray dog that turned up half-starved on the doorstep yesterday, unless our many attempts to find his owner work. I hate to admit it, but I smell like dog, and that needs to change asap. 

Tropical Lave

Smells like coconut and tropical fruit. I still wish they'd sent something more interesting than bath gel, but it smells so good in person that I'm not disappointed. There's always one item I'm not excited about and then love in person, and this is the one for this box. It's really the perfect thing to go with the towel. 

Eyeliner

I'll probably trade this. Nice item, just not for me. 

Moisture Mist

I've tried other mists and can't quite get into the idea of spraying stuff on my face. I always kind of flinch when I spray these, and have yet to find one that really gives a fine mist. This is no different, and I was caught off guard by the strong fragrance. However, I can see it being refreshing once it's hotter outside. 

Clutch

I like it a lot in person, but to me this is just a little makeup pouch. I can scrape the logo off with my fingernail, thank goodness – but others may be disappointed. The materials are beautiful and luxurious, but the sewing is sloppy. I sew and it's not a boast to say I could easily have made this myself. I'm going to try doing some embroidery on it and lining it with cute fabric. This makes it my favorite thing in the box, because I love projects like that. But I'm not impressed enough with the company to look into their other products. 

Bracelets

I'm wearing the two small ones on one wrist and the larger one on the other. I really like the smaller ones. I have 6" wrists and they fit well; I might guess they are around 7" unstretched. The larger one though... the bumps on it are irritating my skin, and it's like a mini epilator. I like the look of it, so hopefully I'll get used to it. Overall I still like these a lot. Just seeing that pop of turquoise cheers me up. 

Toffy

Yum! Not much more to say, but it's great. 

Overall

I'm not disappointed and will use these items more than the winter box. I got my money's worth, but if I'd passed up this box, that would've been ok too. I guess that makes it more 'nice to have' than 'must have'. Next time around, I'll probably just stick with Nina Garcia.

Honestly, I keep staring at my wrist all day because the bracelets are SO PRETTY.

That is so sweet. That makes me really excited to get them. The pictures must not do them justice.

Got my box today. Marley and I tore thru it. She LOVES the liner- and I love that my 4 yo can identify makeup products by the packaging. I pulled the box out and she yelled "EYELINERRRR!". I think my favorite thing is the body wash- we'll see how it works with my eczema but I have high hopes. The spray is very neat and I plan to keep it in my purse for those gross summer days when u need to refresh. I'm glad they didn't send the HUGE bottle. The bracelets are cool too. I normally wear silver but I have a couple gold bracelets and a necklace so it's nice that PS is helping me build a collection. The towel is acting as a blanket in my chilly office. The taffy is pretty good and Marley and I will enjoy it very much. Finally the bag- I'm torn. I like it, but don't love it like I thought I would. It's smaller than I thought and I'm a little afraid that the color will transfer if I wear it under my arm. I wear a lot if white tees and I don't want to have to retire one because the entire left underarm and breast is a weird rubbed-blue Color. Just a thought- not saying I've seen evidence of color transfer - it just looks so saturated that it might. I really like the color and I plan to attach a cute boot bracelet or something to it to make it a handle.

Mine is still showing initiated. I live about 2.5 hrs from Gilroy so hopefully it won't take forever to get here. I cancelled my sub due to how poorly they handled this situation. Going to try something new /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I did the same thing! I wasn't overwhelmed with them as a spoiler, but I can't get over how much I love them!!

 

[Jodym]

Ugh another day and another non delivery by "smart post" "....now I'm getting annoyed.

 

[greeneyedfoxxx]

My boxes are still just initiated out of Gilroy. My April box initiated last night. I'm really still trying to go spoiler free so can someone answer a question for me? My resort boxes weight 3.7lbs, is this correct? I remember there was quite the confusion last week when some boxes were much lighter. Also, anyone else still waiting for their boxes? I'm so disappointed to still be waiting with zero update. I never even received the email letting us know they would be shipped late and yes. I checked spam. I've even put popsugar as high priority. I really am looking forward to these boxes as I just got a hideous tax bill. No more shopping for me!

I think our 4 year olds would get along fabulously.  Mine LOVES to come swatching with me at Sephora, and every time we walk into a store she runs from shiny thing to shiny thing going "OOOOH that is so PRETTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

Like mother like daughter?

Yes! Marley has to have a swatch of EVERYTHING.

Yayyy my box came yesterday! 

Got the Blue/Tan clutch, which I'm loving even though I've never carried a clutch before and don't really know how. The leather is SO soft! Definitely real..

I'm so excited for the mist - I've been dying to buy a similar one... but I'm dealing with some awful skin issues right now so I'm afraid to try it until I'm all healed up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Not really a fan of the bracelets..especially the big one, but maybe I'll trade or gift them

Tried the eyeliner on my hand, and had to scrub to get it off! Good outlook for staying power!

Salt-water taffy was good.. this is weird but I don't think I had ever tried taffy before this morning. I would have liked a little less apple/little more caramel.. but the little salt pieces were fantastic!

Good job, Pop Sugar! Now my April box is going to show up today or tomorrow and my boyfriend is going to shake his head at me...... muahaha

I got my box but never bothered to weigh it.  Regardless, I think you will be pleased.  Good for you for staying spoiler free (I'm glad I used spoiler tags then since i was the first to post actual pics of my box).  I too like to go spoiler free.  Hang in there...  you will love it.

You are not alone. I never got the delay email either and my box is still processing. I almost never get spoiler, LE box info or shipping info from Popsugar but sometimes my box will arrive when it's still "processing". I'm not a patient girl, but I've seen the spoilers and I'm so happy with the contents that once it arrives, I don't think I'll really care so much about the wait. Hang in there! : )

I got the shipping notice for the resort box on the 7th, but it still hasn't been picked up yet. And nothing on my April box. I'm going to cancel my subscription as well. It's just unacceptable that they are promoting their boxes with shipping deadlines and discount codes, yet fail to deliver everyone. I'm even thinking about sending my resort box back unopened and asking for a refund ... this is not what I ordered.

I did the same thing.  I emailed them last week saying I ordered with the ship date in mind, and I need a refund now since they failed to meet it.  I'll have to wait to receive it, mail it back unopened, and then get a refund.
