I ordered the shirt from the Rachel box.  I'm a 32F and if it really fits, I'm going to have to reevaluate my opinion of the box, just because it introduced me to the shirt.  Will let you know!

How do you know there's a coupon in there?  Am I missing some sneak peaks somewhere?   :eek: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Super excited about this one... hope it doesn't disappoint!

there was a spoiler on twitter back in may that the box may include a 

"exclusive ScotteVest from TEC discount"
hopefully this is not one of the main item/s given all the feedback on coupons from subscribers  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It was also on quarterly's and the vendor's facebook pages and discussed in this forum back in May (if you wanna go back and look).

I am sooo curious what comes in this box so I hope someone posts pics as soon as it arrives!  :lol:

 
Quarterly is also giving me a refund on Rachel's box due to sizing issues.  I did not even open it and am just sending it back.

What I find ESPECIALLY distressing about it is that I am only a size 12  in tops. My waist is only about 32 inches.  Despite this, none of those belts would fit me.  I did call the belt company and they were blunt with me that the belts run very small and I should not try. It's not like I think  plus size people should not be accommodated because I DEFINITELY DO (or that this reads like I think I am so skinny because I know I'm overweight and need to lose some serious pounds/inches) so I hope this comes out right, but something is SERIOUSLY wrong when you send something that people in 'normal' sizes can't even wear.  It leaves me feeling like Rachel (who I always viewed as down to earth) is sort of delusional.  Like, this is America.  The 'average' sized woman here, for better or worse, is bigger than I am. What possessed her to think that only women sized 8-10 or less would subscribe to her box I DO NOT KNOW.

This has left me with a bad taste in my mouth toward her in general.  However, my opinion toward Quarterly is on an upswing.

You're right; I don't know because I was charged not e-mailed the tracking.  Usually, once I am charged, it takes 1 week.

 
I tried the belt two different times and it just doesn't work.  I sent an e-mail to MMlafleur and asked for a bigger size but, then I would have to pay shipping.  It seemed like such a hassle to do that without knowing if the bigger size would fit right.  So I contacted Quarterly and they sent me UPS return label.  I just had it sent back today.  Disappointed that the box did not work for me.  I don't usually buy expensive belts but, if it would have fit, I probably would have kept the box.  I like the idea of the curation but, I think it would have been better to get a coupon code for the belt and/or a coupon code for a free shirt.

Very happy with Quarterly's customer service.

 
I personally don't like when one of the items  you have to buy is something with a coupon. I really don't want to spend more money than I did on the box . The box is a splurge for me in the first place.  Hoping for more actual items in the boxes and not coupons  !!

Wait, you had to pay shipping to get a belt in your size?

They really need to change the description of her box. It currently says: "beauty, design and fashion." One out of three isn't OK.

I STRONGLY think too that if she wants to continue this way, that is fine, but they should make it VERY clear in the box description that it truly is only a size 0-8 kind of thing (maybe 10, but some people who usually buy 10's places like, say, Old Navy also wouldn't have fit in the belt she sent).  That way the people who do fit in her size range can subscribe and be happy, and the rest of us can avoid.

 
I cancelled all my Quarterly subscriptions and I am going to start over.  While their customer service is good, I have major issues with how they charge, their shipping delays, and their curator vetting.  I will no longer buy the first box of a curator. I'm going to wait and see what they do with their first box before deciding whether to subscribe. Waiting to hear how Bekka Palmer's box turned out and I'm very curious about Jessica Comingore's box.  Still on the fence about resubscribing for Nina's next box.  $100 is a lot of money and the last box was disappointing.  High value doesn't necessary mean high taste.

 
I am nervous. Beyond nervous. I am waiting for the 1000 places box to get here and I am worried that it will be an epic failure. I have read all of your posts and it was so awful to see that so many people have been sent terrible boxes and not getting their monies worth. It did in a sad way make me feel better that I am not the only one. For a moment, you start to second guess yourself and play over in your mind "Is it me? Am I being too greedy here?" but I expect if I am paying $50.00 for a box then there should AT LEAST be $50.00 worth of items. To see previous boxes like Nye and Hitla I don't get how they can send boxes below that value and say ENJOY! It makes me feel duped. 

My 1000 places box just shipped. I thought there would be some photos or information by now. I don't know why the curator didn't discuss it much on her facebook. I guess I wanted more interaction and spoilers on what we are getting to make me at least feel better about the choice I made in subscribing. I suppose I ask for too much.

Yes they said I could ship it to them and they would send me the different size.  Even if the shipping is $3-4, it still irritated me that they didn't offer to cover the shipping cost.

I thought Rachel box was about her love of books, wine and fashion.  I will have to look at her quarterly page.  If they would have sent a gift card for the value of the belt that would have been better.

I agree.  That would have saved me from purchasing.

 
Has anyone seen what the larger RYQ01 boxes contained?  I saw that twitter made it seem like there was a handbag.  But, I didn't see anything on instagram.
