Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[mepe]

I think it's concerning that Nina doesn't even seem to have a theme for her box...at least it's not stated on Quarterly.  I went ahead and cancelled.  If the last box is any indication of future boxes it will be availabe as a "best of" anyway.  I've been a NG subscriber since the first box...really hope she can turn it around and make it well received again.

Just got this:
 

As of March 1, 2015, we will start charging a flat rate US shipping fee of $5 for our $50 and $75 subscriptions and $8 for our $100 subscriptions.
International shipping rates will remain the same.

As a token of our appreciation, all subscriptions active before March 1st will receive a loyalty shipping credit towards their next box. If you've been waiting to try out a new curator, take advantage of our free shipping one last time and subscribe before March 1st.

I also wrote to them and got this response:

Thanks for reaching out! This package is still shipping in March. We unfortunately don't have any spoilers at this time, but will be sharing some in the next few days!

 
I'm worried about being billed before the spoiler. I also think that if this were going to be a great box, Nina would be talking about it. I don't want to give up on this box because I've enjoyed past boxes so much, but there's a lot I could do with that money.

me too!

Ugh.  Such a tough decision.

I think there were so many cancellations of the Nina box that there were plenty available for the "Best Of" section.

But now that you can't cancel/return (or wait... can you cancel before it ships still?!) there might  not be so many available.

The fact that she hasn't peeped about the box like she did the first few boxes worries me.  I think I'll get this one last box then cancel because of the shipping charges.

me too. one last one for every one that I am subscribed to already.

I'm so torn. Each box I like less & less, and the last one...well....but there is always at least an item or two that I would want to swap for. Is it worth it? I LOVE Nina & the optimist in me wants to believe that this box will be amazing, but if history repeats I don't really want to risk $100 for maybe just one or two things that I might like. I wish they still did returns. I would stay subbed forever if there was no risk.

to be honest, I am just feeling burned about the shipping costs. In all reality, I will likely keep Nina (only). I even kept the crappy winter one that was so not suited for me when I could return it (just couldn't bother with it). I do love her boxes and do hold out great hope for hers.

So Quarterly just sent out an email notice that Nina's sub is now open with the little tidbit that the theme for the new box is: 'Luxe Hair Care'. Any ideas on what kinds of hair-related items our fashionista might surprise us with?

 

[chachithegreat]

Ugh, now I'm actually tempted... My hair is beastly and I'm always looking for a magical combination of products that will make it perfectly shiny and smooth. 

 

[Shauna999]

Now I'm Tempted.... Just when I thought their was 0% chance that I'd purchase Nina.... I want this!!! All the spring fashion magazines are showing really cute hair accessories ... Ahhhh the possibilities.

 

[Stella Bella]

I hope that Nina and/or Quarterly releases a spoiler soon! I so want a spoiler!!!

I'm tempted now too! I've been reading the magazines also and this sounds interesting. Hmm might have to get this one.

Someone tweeted Nina asking for spoilers early today and she said soon! I'm keeping it if only for one last hooray before shipping and handling starts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Sherr]

Oh good news.  I love hair products as mine is dry and I'm trying to grow it long.  FYI: Quarterly charges a flat $20 for shipping to Canada … they always have.

On 12 February she posted some GHD items:

Their website is here:

It looks like their dryers/irons start at $225, but they also have hair brushes and other hair products.

I know Little Black Bag used to do promos with Nume curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers that had a high retail value, so that might be another option. 

She's sent hair products in past boxes, so I hope if hair is really the theme that there will be something special. 

 

[Saffyra]

Nooooooooooooo!  I hate hair products!

Wait.

There might be a curling iron or something in it?  Never mind.  I'm still in.

Me too but if there is a curling iron or hair dryer in it I might want it. Thinking about signing up. This is so hard.

 

[feisty1]

i really wish they would give us a spoiler for Nina.

 

[feisty1]

I checked the date that Nina posted that we would get a spoiler soon and it was actually the 7th. it's not looking so good for spoilers but I guess it will depend on the date of shipment /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
