Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[MET]

Krystyn Lowe, on 25 Oct 2014 - 05:55 AM, said:Igh, I'm so sad. I thought I was set up with a subscription to NGQ, but I guess it was just a one time box. Sucks that I'm missing this one!

I did the same thing and wrote to CS - and they were able to get my order processed for this one.  Hope it works for you.

THANK YOU for suggesting this, I'm all set for this box now! So excited!

Did you all see Nina's box now shows as shipping in October again?

That's going to be tough... seeing as how there's only 3 days left and I don't think anyone has been charged yet. But... I do hope that they'll start shipping soon.

It's disingenuous, because they know if they asked us to put down a credit card for something that wouldn't come for 4 months, most people would not buy.

At least they don't charge the card, like some others, but still. We placed the order months and months ago.

I saw that too, and got excited. Until I saw on their Facebook page they replied to a comment it was back to early November, and they will be sending out an explanation email to customers this week. Whomp, Whomp!

I feel it's like pre-ordering a product with an unknown release date. They do provide an estimate but also qualify your box ships "approximately every 3 months". The charge doesn't go on your card (even as a pending charge) until the box ships so it's not like your money is tied up in the meantime. You can always cancel at any point before it ships with a click of a button.

If you don't want to commit then you can also buy the box later on the Quarterly site. I've done it both ways; if I am confident in a curator then I subscribe but if I'm not sure then I wait until it's released and I can order it from the site. 

I think the creator of Quarterly.co wrote a post a long time ago describing his reason for making the service relating to his memories of getting packages at summer camp and the thrill of receiving something tangible and personal and yet also a surprise as you don't know when it will arrive.

In an ideal world we would have friends and family who would subscribe to these packages for us so we wouldn't worry about billing or when it ships. One day we would come home and a box would be waiting for us and it would be full of items we love.

I understand the Quarterly.co methodology is not for everyone. It took me a few boxes before I realized I could actually trust the billing & shipping process but I realized that unlike other companies they don't tell you it's shipped when it hasn't and they don't bill you until it ships and other things that mean you would have to watch them like a hawk to ensure you get your purchase.

I have to say that the mystery of when we are going to be charged for this box is driving me crazy! I have been budgeting for this for the last 8 weeks. This is my little something extra since I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck so I hope it will be awesome. For doing this to us they should include somesort of bonus item imho.

Have any of you heard more on this box?  I'm so very excited to get it (especially since I can't afford the NM Popsugar box, and Nina always indulges us with luxury goodies).

I hope this is a good box!  Especially since the PopSugar NM box was such a bust. So glad I didn't waste $250 on that one!

I would be VERY upset, personally, if I spent $250 on that box.

Same here. However, if someone absolutely LOVES Clare V clutches, then I'd say the Popsugar NM box would be worth it since it's basically like buying the clutch and getting a bunch of GWPs. XD

 

[Sherr]

True enough. I think I have something like 4 clutches from recent boxes … but nothing as nice as the NM/PSMH clutch.

I am a purse lover but since my whole life is kept in my purse I am geared toward totes and bigger bags. Otherwise I would have went for it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Haha, me too! I'm definitely on clutch-overload between Nina Garcia and Popsugar. But I still kind of want to try trading for the Clare V clutch... XD

I think you'll easily be able to trade for the clutch. There are a lot of people with buyers remorse who would be happy to trade.

I hope so! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Blue and black are my favorite colors.

I'm sure there will be, however I currently have lots of little stuff to trade and not big things.  I would love the candle and the hot chocolate, but I'm not having a lot of hope right now.
