Quarterly Co Nina Garcia *SPOILERS*

[feisty1]

Did anyone notice the email said to make this box "extra special" that it will be released in April? I wonder if they are adding something.

 

[Cvb1212]

I wondered what that meant, too! the way the email was worded made it sound like they might add another item." So far 10 items have already been confirmed, but to make this box extra special, we're working on the finishing touches."

At this point extra special had best mean a cabana boy bringing me an umbrella-ed beverage while riding a baby unicorn shooting rainbows and glitter out of its horn.

Much as I love Nina, the fact that this box is so consistently delayed but none of the others seem to be, makes me think it's on her end. Love Nina, but this box has just gotten really unreliable.

There was definitely a period where ALL of the quarterly boxes were being constantly delayed, but lately it seems like Quarterly has been better about it.  In fact, when Bianca Jade had a brand drop out at the last minute, they specifically wouldn't let her delay it.  So I'm not really sure what the deal is with this one.

One the one hand, I really don't mind the delays because I still want the boxes I am subscribed to, but it's an expensive habit.  Delays allow me to stay subscribed to as many as I do.  On the other hand, we haven't received a new box since NOVEMBER.  I want my freaking box already!

(Please please please let there be a hairdryer.  Mine smelled like burning this morning.)

I saw a post on quarterly's facebook page asking when this box is expected to ship; quarterly relied "towards the end of April, and will definitely be worth the wait."

I was so hoping the guesses about shipping starting today were true.  

I want to cancel, but still believe there's going to be some awesome items.  Maybe they'll release another spoiler.

That's ridiculous. This may push me to cancel. I don't think any hair care is going to wow me enough to spend $100 and wait this long.

Also, it says it's 'expected' to ship then. So it could still be pushed back again??

 

[Colleen1212]

I'm trying to remember when the box that shipped in November was supposed to ship.  It was pushed back a few times if I recall correctly.  

 

[MoiSurtout]

I wish they'd just be honest and set a six-month shipping schedule up front rather than push the date back month by month. 

 

[boxesandboxes]

I'm fine as long as it's a good box. rather wait than get something less than desirable.

@@MoiSurtout Omg, YES! Can they just say Nina will be twice a year and be done with this madness!?

Of course, it doesn't really matter that much to me because at least they don't have my money.  If they'd been holding my money hostage all this time THEN I would be angry.

I sort of feel that there are so many variables involved that the fact that these boxes are late isn't surprising.

Although Rachel Zoe managed to ship her box on time.

Nina ( that is if she actually has anything to do with this box )   is used to deadlines working on a magazine.  She also has amazing connections.  There is no reason for the constant delays.    If she was dealing with this box herself this would not happen  My guess is that she is making recommendations and someone else is doing it.    When they deal with venders and are not her they are not going to get the response she would.  She needs to be more involved possibly to prevent the delays

I think (and I could be wrong) that the November box should have been more like a September box, and so they skipped December entirely.  So the NG "quarterly" box was triannual last year, looks like they are pushing for biannual this year.  Which would be FINE if they just edited the NG page to say "Look, ladies.  It comes out when it comes out.  We will try to make it awesome whenever it does."

I think you're right.  There was one in June/July and the next one was supposed to be a Fall box in Sept.  I remember that they sent an email in Aug saying that it would ship in Oct "just in time for the holidays" but didn't end up sending it until the end of Nov.

Seeing that there was no December box you'd think they would have been ahead for the Spring box...my logic is start sourcing Spring instead of December.  It really is kind of incredible that they haven't gotten their sh** together for this box by this point.  I'm pretty sure they also promised that the Nov. box would "be worth the wait"...and that turned out to be not so much.

When oh when will this box ship?? At this point it's twice a year, not four times. Ugh.

 

[Sherr]

I checked myself yesterday to see what the heck was gong on.  Still no CS notification.  At least it seems to be second on the list of upcoming shipments /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I read in Twitter that the box will now be charged at the end of the month and we will receive it in the first week of may. Someone also commented they were hoping to see a curling iron or flat iron and quarterly sent them a smile face response. Doubt it means anything but a girl can hope lol
