PopSugar Special Edition Resort Box

[celticjade]

My box initiated late Monday night, and stayed in that stage all day yesterday. Just checked, and it's in Sacramento. At this rate I'll get it Saturday or Monday

My box status is finally showing as "shipped". Unfortunately, the estimated delivery date is NEXT FRIDAY. Seriously, from Sacramento to Portland, Oregon it will take over a week!? I just sent a very angry email to Popsugar (I never do that). I'm so furious right now, because I leave on my vacation next Wednesday so it does not appear I'll get the box before I leave. I only purchased this box because of the resort theme and promised ship date of 3/31/14. When I saw the estimated delivery date of next Friday, I just wanted to cry.

Just got mine!

A few thoughts:

Bracelets - these are always tricky for me because I have very tiny wrists.  They are still huge but I love the way they look so much I am keeping the two thinner ones and posting the thicker one up for trade.  I know most people would want the stack, but I'm sure someone out there wouldn't mind adding the bigger bracelet to a stack of their own.

Towel - Excited to use on my honeymoon cruise!!  I'm at work so I haven't unfolded it yet but I remembered seeing someone suggest using it as a travel blanket as well - which is perfect because I refuse to use the ones on the planes anymore - the last one I opened from the plastic had a wad of someone else's hair on there... clearly they aren't "new" blankets.

Body Cleanser - I can't wait to use it!!  I love the smell.  I'll probably use my current body wash in excess so I have an excuse to open up and use this one once it "runs out" /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Clutch - I'm pretty "eh" about this.  Going up for trades... I love clutches but nothing about it makes me want to use it.

Taffy - good!  But only in small doses.  I ate two and then put the rest in my office coffee room to share.

Smashbox eyeliner - At first I was considering putting this up for trade but then I had to stop myself... getting these boxes is all about trying new things.  I think sometimes I get in this mode where if I don't automatically take to something I discard it.  But I'm going to start making sure I'm actually getting my money's worth and try this out.  The next time I have to get dressed up for something, I'll probably give this a whirl.

Moisture mist - this is new to me and another thing I've convinced myself to give a try.  I figure this will also be good for my cruise when I'm sunbathing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hope everyone waiting on their boxes gets them soon!!  I'm in NJ and my box was one of the ones that took a tour around CA... then MD.. then WV before getting here, lol.

Oh yea - one more thing to note... I really like the box they packaged it all up in.  This is my first Speical Edition box, so I don't know if they do that with all of them, but it'll be great for me to reuse as a polish holder... shoebox.. etc.  Nice touch.

Still nothing here .. initiated since Monday. I'm in the bay area .. So once it ships, it only takes about 5-6 days .. depending on how long it spends cruising around Sacramento. If it ever ships ...

Well, I finally got the shipping email for my resort box- looks like I'll receive it Friday 4/18 (I'm in Colorado) yikes! and I still haven't received my shipping email for my April Box.....  I feel so left out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  j/k thanks for all the unboxings!

 

[ivorwenlindorie]

Bummer on the box being delayed, but yay for Colorado. 

 Born, raised and spent most of my life there. May I ask where in Colorado?

 

[Mary Mullikin]

Colorado Springs. Born, Raised, Currently Reside. I tried to get out, but it just wont let me! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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.

What did Capitol One say about the issue - will they be crediting your account?

I got my email late Monday and it still hasn't initiated. I sent PS an angry email this morning. They are giving Glossybox a run for their money in the race for "Crappiest Customer Service of the Year" Award.

My guess is that whatever product delayed them originally is still not ready and, instead of informing those of us affected by it, they decided to just calm us down by creating the label hoping some of us won't look into it. After all, FedexSmartpost is slow ... That is the worst of it all .. lying to us and claiming that the box is on its way (as I was told on Monday), when it's still not even close to that. (Thursday and nothing)

I'm wondering if I'll receive an email in a few days that they are unable to deliver at all and I will get either a reembursement or a replacement item ...

They should have at least not let the April boxes be influenced by this crap. I'm sure that's why some of those are so late. Same thing happened when they had the Fall Special box, but at least back then it was all the September boxes (if I remember correctly) and not just some.

I'm at the point where I am so annoyed about this stupid box, I'm not even looking forward to getting it one day anymore.

You called it! Based on this email just sent out...the boxes are not shipped yet...

"Hi there,


First, we want to thank you for your patience as you eagerly await your Special Edition Resort box. We're so excited to share this box with you, but we want to sincerely apologize for the delay in your shipment and any inconvenience this has caused.
 
We understand that this has been a frustrating experience and want to give you an update on the shipment of your box. The shipment date for the boxes was initially rescheduled from March 31 to April 7 due to a delivery delay of one product from a brand to our warehouse. While we have received a portion of the shipment from the brand and shipped out as many completed Special Edition Resort boxes as possible, we are still awaiting another delivery of this item so that we can send out all remaining boxes. On April 7, we sent you your tracking number in preparation for your shipment, and we want to let you know that as soon as the product arrives at our warehouse, your box will be shipped immediately.We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of your shipment as soon as we have any more information.

Best,
POPSUGAR"

Just got that same email. I'm trying not to be irritated, but at this point, I am. I haven't said anything up to this point (on here or to them), but it is now starting to get annoying. I spent $100 and each day that passes, those items become less and less WOW to me. Blah.

 

[MKSB]

I sent them another email in response to this and basically said that if they didn't offer a partial refund, expedited shipping or a bonus item of some kind I was going to paper the internet with bad reviews. I don't care that this is a problem with a supplier. They are the people who took my money and they ultimately are the ones who are held responsible for the finished product. Offering mere apologies when the box is already so late is not going to cut it for me.

Received the same email.  ><  Are you guys in california as well?

I am...which totally gave me a false sense of hope in possibly being one of the first to get the box since I am not that far from Gilroy.

 

[midanmacaron]

I am in CA and like 1 hour and half away from Gilroy. I'm pissed off. I was one of the many people who ordered within the first few days and after this they have my money for 2 and A HALF MONTH. UGH 

 

[shabs]

Probably sent boxes that took the longest time/furthest out first...east coast and hawaii. 

 

[AshJs3]

I'm betting it was the clutches since the company said they had extras that were scratched. It sucks that this has happened, but if they did go ahead and send those people would have raised hell as well. On one hand, good on PopSugar for getting ahead of the problem, but Boo for the delay.

 

[Jekaco9]

My LE box still shows the 17th. Tracking hasn't updated since the 8th. My April box hasn't even been shipped yet. This was my first experience with PS and it makes me sad. =(

 

[jbird1175]

There has been some movement but the last update was on the 8th and shows that my box departed Sacramento, CA... have no idea where my box is now since there is no other update.

I ordered the chain for my clutch from RBofMcD...and what's funny is... I bet I get the chain before I get my actual box/clutch!
