Quarterly definitely has some issues  they need to fix.  I like what they are doing and think its a great niche but they need to get their crap together!

I've been subbed to a box for over a year and a half? I don't even remember now, but it was before there were big curators, and they only had a few curators. They had great customer service every time I had an issue, but I think they've grown too fast. They add new curators almost every week, and I think they need to take a step back and catch up.

Received my shipping notice also. Unfortunately no weight comparisons yet. Can't wait to see if there are any weight comparisons. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine shipped USPS so I'm pretty sure I didnt get the $300 one (or however much it was).  Does usps do weights?

If you got shipped FedEx maybe YOU'RE the one!!

It really astounds me how hit or miss the Quarterly boxes are. I got the Chris Guillebeau box today and most of the stuff I won't use--even though I liked his other boxes, which is why I subscribed. The Q-Tip box was awful. I really liked the Poketo box and most of the Book Riot and Nina Garcia boxes.

I received the Rachel box today. I will be sending mine back, it's just not what I expected. 

Paper with book quotes on it - cute but really, value is like zero. I could print this from my own computer. 

Wine Tote, as in a little canvas bag for 1 bottle of wine. Looks like a free bag I would get from the grocery store. 

Blue skinny belt. It's cute but it's pretty much a $50 belt at this point. 

A card for 25% off of a white button down shirt. No thanks. 

A small Working Wardrobe mini magazine. Like mini mini.

Uh oh! Let's see if it works now: Yes, I received mine and I am not impressed.

Wow. That box sounds really disappointing and extremely worrisome as a "plus size" girl! Like, is the skinny belt stretchy? Where is the white button down code for? Oy. My excitement for this box has suddenly diminished.

Uh, yeah.  Even the large is not going to fit.  I could maybe use it as a thigh wrap ...

Can we send Quarterly boxes back?  This is my first one, so I'm wondering if I should even bother opening it.

ETA: In fairness, it's really cute, and I'd be very happy with it if it came in my size (or if I were smaller).  But it doesn't and I'm not and I can't help wondering why on earth sub boxes think sending size-specific items is ever a smart idea?  I get that it's a wardrobe box, but send a scarf for crying out loud!

It's that belt in blue. She says if it doesn't fit you can contact the shop and request a larger or smaller size an receive a replacement free of charge. 

Discount is for an InStyle Essentials TrioFit Technology button down.

Thanks for posting this. I am super bummed. The belt and shirt do not come in sizes that will accommodate me. Rachel should have known better than to pick size specific items for her box... it's going to wind up upsetting people.

 
Here's the note I sent to their CS.  I'll let you know what response I get:

Hi - I'm reaching out proactively about the Rachel Yeomans box that is on the way to me.

I've seen the box contents and need to know what to do, as the belt that is included is not available in anything approaching a size that will fit me. Since that item represents the overwhelming majority of the value of the box, I need to know how I can return it.

While I knew that this was a wardrobe box and was likely to contain some apparel item, I am rather disappointed that the included item and the discounted item have such a limited size range. It would have been better to include a scarf or other less size-specific item.

Please advise ASAP. I don't think this will be the first similar complaint you receive.
 
Keep us posted as to what kind of response you get @@jennm149 ! I just sent a tweet to Quarterly... they have been pretty responsive to the tweets I've sent so far.

"@Quarterly @RachelYeomans Im pretty upset with the RYQ1 as the size specific items dont accommodate this plus size gal. Now Ive a case of the sads."

Seriously, I am really surprised that Rachel would send out items that are SO limited in size. A scarf, hat, necklace, bracelet... so many fashion related items that could have been sent out instead of a belt that is only offered up to a size L. I would have loved a white button down but even that is a bust (no pun intended) for me. Blouses are ordered based on your cup size and it only goes up to a 40... I'm a 42D.

 
Grr, I have a feeling this is going to get ugly.  Figured I'd jump on it before they get overwhelmed.

The truth is that while many of us will have issues with the items being too small, I'm sure there will be some tiny, fine boned women who will find even the smallest size too big, as well.  It's a shame, because I really like it, and I'd be delighted to have it, if it came in my size.

 
I was thinking about this on the way home. Even if they indicated something like "Rachel's box will include items in sizes 2 - 14" that would help. I know that there are people who would still go on a tear about that, but it would have saved me $50. If people don't want to sell products in my size, I'll spend my money somewhere else.

 
Looks like the belt is the big ticket item in the box.  I still am shocked that she did things with size issues. There are so many cool accessories that would have worked and made everyone happy.

 
I'm a size 4/6 and received a size medium belt and it barely fits me. It runs small for sure. I would rather spend $50 at the Nordie's Anniversary Sale and get more bang for my buck. 

 
Just got an e-mail advertising Digg as a new curator. It ships in September. I'm VERY interested in that one, but I'd be up to $200 just on Quarterly boxes for September! :wacko:

 
yes! pls keep us posted! i am not going to be able to fit into any of the stuff in the rachel yeoman box either. i cannot believe there are size specific items in there when quarterly didnt even bother to check with subscribers on sizing.  totally agree with @@jennm149 that indictative sizing wld have been a great help.

i just cancelled my rachel box, am totally bummed because i've been waiting (and looking forward to) this box for ages, esp w all the delays it had!

am v glad i decided to splurge on the GQ box because that, at least, has awesome gender neutral items i can use.
