I am speechless! That is awful! I mean just awful. What in the world is wrong with people to send out a box o' crap. That's it! I am going to make my own box and call it Box O' Crap! 

I hope you can return it and get your money back!

 
I'm really starting to feel that the only Quarterly boxes worth anything are the Nina Garcia and GQ boxes, because they both have a good amount of authority behind them to be able to get great stuff. I feel like most of the other things sent are promotional items (like all of Rachel's papers about herself), items with vastly overestimated values, or things you can get inexpensively anywhere. If that 1000 Places box really does come with a coupon for that vest, I'd probably say that it screams Paris...as an obnoxious tourist (especially if it comes with a strap for your camera, an Eiffel Tower keychain, and a quick French phrasebook).

 
Somehow I stupidly thought first boxes would be amazing since they are trying  to get more subscribers. Oh well ... like I said before I am glad I stacked coupons for all these boxes and didn't pay full price  :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ROFL obnoxious tourist! So true. She should change the title of the box to "What NOT to wear when going to Paris"

Re: Bekka, there is a movie on the USB slap bracelet as well.  Called GIRL WALK // ALL DAY too.  For whatever reason, I'm still not as disappointed as she didn't run all over the place saying it's "over $100 value."  It's more my risk of checking out someone that I know nothing about. I unsubscribed though since I now know a little more about her. 

 
  • Buff It shouldn't be a RISK! I guess that is my point. I expect MORE out of Quarterly to provide US as the consumer boxes that we should be interested in having. How do they expect to keep customers coming back and subscribing if the only two boxes worth having are GQ and Nina's? Furthermore, while I agree that we should know a little info before getting ourselves involved; however these curators have made it this big secret that its almost impossible to know anything. I have researched 1000 places and Hitla and neither of them hardly talk about these boxes. Specifically, 1000 places. She only brought it up once on her Facebook page. You can't take anything away from that. So I put my faith in Quarterly and expect that they are protecting my investment. If I am not allowed to know what is going on then I expect Quarterly to. It is NOT your fault that you were intrigued by the description and went for it. It is Quarterly's fault for not doing something more to protect us as consumers and the Curators job for not doing there best to get good deals for their boxes.

I disagree. You knew it was a gamble getting a box from a curator you know nothing about, and a box that is essentially a mystery box. Quarterly is a business and just a provider for these curators. Quarterly isn't responsible for protecting you. You are responsible for that. The curators are getting items that they like, or can get cheaply. There is no promise that these boxes will be worth the value you paid or more. If you are unhappy with your purchase, ask for a refund and realize that not all Quarterly curators are created the same. Some are great, some aren't going to be your thing. If you're so unhappy with Quarterly, consider not doing business with them anymore. If it's not worth your money, only you can stop giving them your money for products you are unhappy with.

 
I agree with Kelly Silva, but at the same time, Quarterly is playing people for fools. They're letting anybody put anything into a box and sell it through their service. Good stuff, bad stuff, they don't care as long as people keep paying for the mystery. I suspect they're run on the PT Barnum 'sucker born every minute' principle. 

I love the Nina Garcia box and I agree GQ looks promising, so I don't want them to fail as a company. But some of these boxes seem shady to me. 

 
Magazine (Travel & Leisure) not to do with Paris, 8x10 drawing of Paris, Paris food book, cheese knife, little postcards, bar of soap, 20 % off coupon to vest co.


I got my 1000 places box today.....not sure what to think.
