My box still shows as "initiating" and I'm beginning to doubt I'll get it before I leave on vacation next week. I don't want to be negative, but I did buy this box specifically for my vacation and if I don't get it before I leave I'll be complaining to Popsugar. It's been nine days since the promised ship date and mine hasn't even moved. . .needless to say, I'm very disappointed.

Sick of the complaints? Don't read this! Spoiler alert, another complaint!
Mine is also at initiated.
That's pretty disrespectful right? They missed the ship date and on the ship date March 31 tell me:
"We want to inform you that the shipping date we initially stated has been rescheduled, and your box will ship by Monday, April 7. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused"
(per the general email they sent us not in the first wave).
Ship by Monday April 7. But that rolls around and at close of business they send another email that it is on it's way, 2 days later it is still at initiated. Not shipped.
Per the FedEx tracking:
4/08/2014 - Tuesday 1:03 am Shipment information sent to FedEx
No updates. Creating tracking information to initiate shipping is not the same as the box actually shipping.

Mine is still at initiated also with no update or progress. I've made the decision to call Capitol One today and see what they can do for me as far as a charge back. Already tried contacting PS and no reply. This has put such a bad taste in my mouth, it wouldn't really matter if there was gold in the box at this point.

My boxes started in Watsonville, CA and went to Sacramento. They departed Sacramento yesterday at 9:08am.
I live in the Midwest and am wondering where the box will go next? Do any of you that received your boxes show where the box traveled?
It is interesting that the monthly POPSUGAR boxes come from NJ and these special edition ones come out of CA.

I live outside of Chicago. Mine also left Sacramento yesterday (at 8:21am). It typically arrives in Chicago 4 days later (I imagine it is on a FedEx 18 wheeler truck for those 4 days as there are no tracking updates in that timeframe). Then it goes up to New Berlin, Wisconsin for a day. Then back to Illinois to my post office the next day. Then out for delivery a day or 2 later. Depending on where you are in the Midwest your box may take a very similar route. For me, at the point at which it leaves Sacramento, I typically get it 7 or 8 days later.

My box arrived today after taking a nice tour around the United States. Overall, I'm happy with it!
-The bag is a LOT smaller than I expected, but I like the look. I'll be competing at Miss New York this summer, and we aren't allowed to have big bags during pageant week. This will hold my camera and lipgloss, which is all I'll really need.
-The bracelets are a lot bigger than I expected, lol! I was very excited about these, but they're a little big on me (to be fair, I have abnormally small wrists). I plan of wearing them carefully, and sharing with my mother and sister.
-The towel is large and very soft. Excited to use!
-I'm welcoming the chance to try all of the beauty products, because they are all from brands I've never tried.
-I'm not a salt water taffy kinda gal, but my family will enjoy it!
Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase. I've enjoyed all of the LE boxes I've purchased, and will most likely continue to buy. I do wish that they had provided better customer service for those of you whose boxes were delayed.

Same here! My account shows that it shipped on April 7th which is clearly a lie once you click on the tracking. Their customer service is horrendous and their behavior is insulting! Also my April box just initiated today and while several people have already received their April box. I'm done with PS, they won't get another penny of our money.

Thank you! It sounds like it will arrive in Chicago on Saturday. Be in New Berlin on Tuesday. And then maybe out for Delivery Wednesday or Thursday. I usually get it the next day when it arrives in New Berlin. The date says it is scheduled for Thursday April 17th. Getting closer! Yay!

Same thing going on here. Still showing initiated since the 7th with no further updates. This is so disappointing, will never buy another limited edition box again.

I got my box!
Like others have mentioned, I was expecting the clutch to be larger. Also, quite honestly, it doesn't seem that amazing to me. I do like it, and I'm sure I'll use it, but I guess I was expecting something more after looking at the company's website. It just seems like these were relatively cheaply made (which I'm sure they were since they were made in large quantities for this box). I realize that this was made exclusively for PS, and it's not all leather like the other bags are, but this doesn't really make me want to spend $200+ on a bag by this brand. It would have been nicer if it had a lining, not to mention the chain. Mine also has a fairly large scratch in the leather, but it doesn't show up very well in pictures, so I don't know if it's worth it to contact CS and ask for a replacement. Oh well.
I tried the spray on my face. It definitely felt refreshing, and it does moisturize. It will be good to use in the summertime.
The body wash is huge! I'm excited to use it!
The towel is also a great size. I've never had a Turkish towel before, so I was surprised that it seemed more like a sheet/blanket than a towel. But I like it, and I'm sure I will use it.
The bracelets are really pretty. They fit well on my wrist, and I like the fact that they look good all together or by themselves. I can also imagine the little gold one being a nice accent for some other bracelets I have.
I'm really excited about the eyeliner. I already have two blue eyeliners, one pencil and one liquid pen. But this blue is a bit lighter than the ones I have, and it has a shimmer to it, which is pretty. For some reason, I thought the gold would be a bit darker, but I really like it too. I've never used gold eyeliner before, but I think this will be a lot of fun for summer. It also is shimmery.
Finally, I love the salt water taffy! It's better than others that I've had. There are actually salt crystals in it, which gives it an interesting crunch. The flavor is also fantastic--it tastes just like caramel apple. I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't eat too much of it at once, but otherwise the whole box would be gone by now!
I liked this box a lot. Buying these boxes is always a gamble, especially for $100, but I think PS did a good job of selecting the items here, and I know I'll use all of them.

It's ok. Mine was part of the early shipping and I only got my 2nd box Tuesday late. It showed no movement for a while as well. Hang tight. I didn't bother to weigh it as I didn't think it mattered once we knew what was inside.

The weight of the box is listed in the tracking info. I know last week there was discusson of some boxes being under 2 pounds and others closer to 4. Just wondering if that was resolved. I'm glad a lot of people are getting their boxes! I'm just trying to keep spoiler free which is proving challenging!
