Anybody familiar with the sub fandom knows that size-specific items are a bad idea. I can understand a newbie curator making mistakes, but Quarterly should have steered her away from this. It seems like they don't provide any guidance. 

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

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. 
I am due to get my box on Monday.  I am not impressed based on what you posted.  I think she could have done so much more with her first box.

 
So, I've been tweeting Quarterly & Rachel. Rachel responded back today that she is sorry :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> & thinks we should still contact the companies to see if they will accommodate whatever size we are.

Um, I'm not sure what sort of response I was expecting & I'm not sure how I feel about her's or Quarterly's, who basically told me the same thing. What if there is no resolution by the companies? You think I'm going to be OK paying for paper & a wine tote?

 
There will be no resolution from companies for me. I'm in the 20s in term of clothes size. This is really going to be bad.

 
Did anyone see RY's tweet in response to a user comment. It mentions an item not mentioned in the post.

Can't get spoilers to work so removed reference. But do these boxes usually have variations?

ETA: Now that I look into it further, I suspect the item being discussed was the bonus item a few people got. Rats.

Well, I guess everything DOES happen for a reason. I am a plus-size girl so the belt wouldn't have fit me.  The discounted item might have but I don't want to pay another $40 box on top of the cost of the box. So, it's probably good there was a snafu and I didn't get one.  I would consider trying again if I knew that plus-sized girls wouldn't be entirely excluded from the box.

 
Are there any pictures of the Rachel contents floating around? I can't seem to find any. I'm curious to see the actual things and I think it's going to take a while for my box to get to me.

 
I'm not going to read this thread... but my box was delivered. I'm out of town until tomorrow night. If anyone hasn't posted yet, I will post tomorrow, late.

I didn't get the box (thankfully! it wouldn't have fit me either!) and don't know the exact brand or item but perhaps the company can sub the belt for another accessory???

I posted on their FB and twitter accounts. Tried to keep it positive but to the point: they provided no information about the size range of items, some subscribers will not find a fit at all and since they sold the box, they should make it right. If they go out proactively with a solution, maybe this won't go totally off the rails.

 
@@janessapk -- haven't seen it myself, but based on the website that was linked to earlier, it should be Italian leather, with the belt made in the US.  Maybe someone who's received the box can let us know for sure.  If it's the one I believe it is, it retails for $60.

 
Wow that box just looks bad. The belt is the only practical thing (that only some people can wear). And a coupon? Really?

 
This month I am expecting Bekka Palmer . Next month I am getting     Unclutterer, Back to college,   Hitha and 1000 places.  Hope some good stuff shows up  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was able to stack coupons on all the boxes so I got really good deals .

I received my Rachel box today and I definitely canceling. I am a size 2 and my belt barely fits on the first hole. I can only wear this belt with a long shirt (cinched). I think I am only going to stick to the $100 boxes. I prefer those better.
