I also give commendations for the great customer service at Quarterly.  I sent an email on Friday evening, after I saw spoilers, letting them know why I didn't care for the box and asking for a refund before it shipped.   They replied this afternoon, saying they were sorry I didn't like the box and would refund my money. 

So glad I didn't have to hassle with returning the box (though I would have done whatever it takes to get my money back, since I'd use nothing in the box.  FYI, they said my refund would process in 3 to 5 days.  

Given the wonderful CS at Quarterly, I want to support them and will use the $100 to subscribe to Eva Scrivo or maybe A. Huffington.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I'm using my refund to pay for the MSA box next month.
 
I am dying for more pictures of the box, specifically the bag and earring variations.  Has anyone else received it?

 
Quarterly CS was great--they emailed me back on Monday and were able to cancel my shipment with no problems.  It was such a positive experience that I think I may use the money to buy one of the GQ holiday entertaining box from the best of Quarterly store to divide up into a few stocking stuffers and gifts.

The variations on the bag and earrings are giving me some hope.  If that bag has no gold chain on it, which is sounds like it will not, and the earrings come in silver tone with no pearls, I'd be super happy.  The hat is still a loss but that's what donation boxes are for.  

 
Gotta give them props for great customer service.  They were able to stop my box before it shipped and processed my refund.  Yay!

Now...

Ouiplease?  Hm...

 
I got my box yesterday and received the dark gray bag, which I actually like and was hoping for, and these earrings, but the spokes are all pearls, no stars: http://www.ruegembon.com/products/mette-gold

I also got the oxblood nail polish and the mango Pantone mug.
Ohhh, I could live with that!  You really lucked out!

The grey bag is my preference too, I would keep it if I got that one.  I maaaay keep the mink but I'd try to sell the navy/cranberry.  I think.  I wonder if we could buy the gold chain?  I would want it instead of the leather one if I kept it. 

I REALLY hope mine is waiting for me today.

I agree. I would have returned the box if I hadn't gotten the gray bag. Also, I like the earrings I got, although I do wish they had alternating stars rather than pearls like the photo.

I would totally buy the gold chain if they sell it. I would have much preferred the chain strap, I feel like it looks more luxe than the leather strap.

I know people figured out how to contact the company to get a chain for one of the PSMH clutches.  I tried looking on the deux lux website but I can't find any contact information.  I would be willing to pay for it if it was reasonably priced.

 
Sorry for the multiple posts, but I am in the stage of waiting for my box in which I get really, really obsessive. 

I have been spending a lot of time on the Rue Gembon website...

So far people have received:

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/cecilia-gold (it's prettier on the website than I thought it would be based on the picture posted here)

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/raven-gold (not confirmed, but the person said pearl with a horn so it seems right)

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/mette-gold (but with all pearls, no stars).

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/autumn-gold (I think this is the one @@Shauna999's friend received)

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/paola-jet (this is the closest I could find from @@JenniferV's picture, but it looks like hers isn't a pearl)

So far all of the earrings people have received seem to be from the "Ear Jackets" section of the Rue Gembon website (http://www.ruegembon.com/collections/all/earjackets). I am pretty happy with most of the ear jackets and prefer those over regular earrings.  I am tentatively excited again. 

My dream option is this one (I see we get a coupon so maybe I'll give myself a little xmas prezzie):

http://www.ruegembon.com/products/belen-black-pearl

Okay, that is all :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohh, I do like that black pearl option!

I would have preferred this one most, I think, but I'm totally OK with what I got: http://www.ruegembon.com/products/poppy-gold

 
My best friend just got her box -- here's the pic she sent me.

Thanks for doing the leg work on the earrings. Kinda makes me sad so many people are returning their boxes...I would have loved to try and swap for some of these. I guess I will see what pair I get and decide if I will return mine or not... :unsure:

 
I'm sorry I'm not very good at attaching photos to this site but I received my box today and the earrings I received were the germaine ones (they are sparkly), the messenger bag in mink, the mug in graphite, the rest was what everyone else received. I'm one of the few keeping my box. I like the earrings and bag. I'm even going to wear the hat. I'm hoping her next box is awesome!! I still love Nina just not sure what happened this time around.

Dang, there goes my ear jacket theory!  I love the earrings you got though, they are pretty.

Got my box!

I got the grey bag and it's way cuter in person than I expected, plus the dog lining looks a bit like my dog. I was dead set on swapping it or sending the box back, but now I'm not sure. I don't normally wear fringe, but I guess trying new things is part of what subs are for. 

The autumn gold earrings are beautiful, but my ears aren't pierced. 

Love the purple mug and everything else except for the hat. I was so curious to see what Nina said about it, and surprisingly:

One of my favorite items i have included in this mailing is the Ballin' Hat by Brian Lichtenberg. Brian's pieces are playful and adored by the fashion set. This hat will keep you cool and stylish all season long. 
I guess that's proof that I'm not part of the fashion set... but I guess she really did curate the box!

One of my friends (who is quite stylish) said she NEEDED that hat!  I told her she could have mine!  I guess I am not part of the fashion set either!
