Thank you!  I obviously didn't do my research before sending in my belt.  Now I'm expecting it not to fit because my waist is larger than 30 and 3/4 inches...   I wish I would've simply returned the box to quarterly.  Lesson learned.

you all are measuring for a high waist to wear with dresses, correct?  Because that's how they are apparently meant to be worn.

 
Received my 1000 place box today. I'm not impressed. Not sure if it's even the full value but it was fun to try. I love Paris and was excited for this box. It's nice but not great. If the value was $25 to buy I think I would be more happy. I just think $50 too much for this. It was still a nice box to receive and I'm glad I tried. I'll most likely pass on the next one.

 
I also got my 1000 places box today, and I actually liked it. That's the interesting thing about subscription boxes--someone's trash is someone else's treasure! It wasn't the best box I've ever gotten but I did enjoy it and will stay subscribed.

If I knew it were a location that I am really into/interested in, I would subscribe. Speaking of, has anyone seen the theme of the next box?

 
I...  The contents of Bekka Palmers box are... 

I'm speechless.

I'm so glad I cancelled it, although I cancelled it in favor of Rachel Yeomans, which turned out to be a dud too.

I see what everyone is saying and I agree.

Yes, this is a gamble and yes, we know that going into it.  At the same time, I think there is something to be said for a little Quarterly oversight or guidance over what is going in the boxes. 

I personally did not care for Rachel Yeomans box.  I didn't return it, though, because the belt grew on me (although if I grow any more, it won't fit).  Maybe I'm a chump for keeping it but it's the part of me that says I knew it was a crapshoot when I bought it.

Still!  Fool me once...  I've unsubbed from all my Quarterly boxes except Nina Garcia because I know she's good for it.  She's a big enough name that she's got connections and strings to pull for good stuff.  People like Rachel and Bekka Palmer do not. 

I have a feeling MSA isn't going to have many strings either.  One sub box isn't going to want their items in another company's sub box and she doesn't do beauty blogging at all.  I think she may try her best to get value out of her box but then again, her idea of value and mine can be two very different things. 

If Quarterly pulled some actually big name curators in, I would consider subscribing.

 
Don't know if everyone noticed this, but it's standard practice for Quarterly to refund/return.  I know there was some discussion on here that stated it might not always be so easy...but it looks like part of the offer. From their site:

-Cancel Anytime, Money Back Guarantee, Only Pay When Box Ships

 
IMO, the last two Nina boxes were jam packed with "stuff." Definitely got my money's worth, but nothing felt luxe like the first one. I like to get my money's worth on everything, but I wouldn't mind a box where I didn't get my money's worth, but the one or two items were freaking awesome.

 
Like it was said before  Nina and GQ are big  enough and connected enough to get us good stuff.  The others I do not think have as good connections.  I am following all the boxes as well as I can online. There are very few reviews up with so many boxes being offered, I am also very surprised at how little if anything some of there people say about there upcoming quarterly box on there websites.  If they gave a good spoiler any of these boxes they would pull more people in. 

 
My 1000 places box was not charged because I switched bank cards, but I just got charged for Hitha's today.

 
My  1000 places box finally showed up today. I love it.   The soap is from  provence where I spent much time last summer  It is a huge bar of  Honey almond. Yummy smelling.   The food lovers guide to paris is a large beautiful book 454 pages  . Filled with pictures and much more.  There a post its on pages sticking out  with notes on it for special places. Very well thought out.   There are no postcards.  There are 4 cards that are part  of a craft project where you can make cute little paper things. The  Eiffel tower  Moulin rouge  accordion theatre and un pue de paris  All places I have been to and loved dearly.     There is a beautiful card  from Henri Matisee  saying   There are always flowers for those who want to see them.  It is really beautiful and sweet and reminds me of the art of paris I so enjoyed.    There is a larger picture I have already hung up  with the Eiffel tower. The bonus magazine I will enjoy.  There is nothing I did not like in this box.   A food item might have been nice.   I am pleased and I will stay with  1000 places more.    

 
I ordered a shirt from the Rachel box... the In Style Essentials Classic Button Front.  I was intrigued by the fit feature that they send you a shirt based on your bra size.  I got the shirt today.  They did get the chest area right.  I'll give them that.  And the shoulders.  They fit.  But the waist is too slim for me.  I was hoping it would fit like a nice Brooks Brothers shirt, but it does not.  It looks horrible.  I must not be their target body type... Did anyone else order the shirt?  Did it fit? 

 
For those of you with kids, I have to say that I did like the one Bill Nye box that I got.  (#NYE02)  Although the value was right around the actual cost of the box, I thought it was fun and well-curated.  I did get this box for free but I would consider trying another one. At least it has creative products that I might not have tried otherwise.

 
For those waiting on Hitha's #HGQ02, I'm fairly confident that this

Knitted Abstract Gold Lurex Eye Mask – Perpetual Shade http://www.perpetualshade.com/products/knitted-abstract-gold-lurex-eye-mask
will be one of the three items. It's "limited edition", comes in one of the prints she shared, retails for $69, is one of the items listed in the blog post where she said one of these items would be in the next box, and (finally) is a brand she has flagged as one of her faves in other blog posts.

I haven't seen any mention of this, but I'm sorry if I missed it.  When I signed up for the Hitha on the Go #1 box, I read this on the website:

"I’m so pumped about this partnership that I’m giving away a Quarterly
box to one of you lucky ducks.  If you subscribe off the get go, no
worries – you’ll get my second box FREE."
The website address is http://www.hithaonthego.com/pack-perfect-quarterly/

I emailed Quarterly on the 6th and they have yet to respond as to why I was charges for box #2.  I'm not reading her message wrong, am I?

I think it means that the one person who wins will get the second box if they had been subscribed for the first box, not that everyone gets the second box free. 

 
Thanks Betsye!  I appearently could use a reading comprehension box.  High school was a long time ago:)

I wouldn't be too harsh on yourself.  She didn't write that very clearly.  Maybe you will be the winner, after all though.

 
I think you are 100% correct on that spoiler.  I am not subscribed to this box but if I was, I would be VERY disappointed that THAT is the high-priced item. I would never pay $69 for something like that.

I am getting the box. Myself and a few friends actually signed up after seeing that spoiler.  I cant wait to see what  one I actually get.  The print one to me looks ugly and I am not sure I would use it.  Hope I get the black one if those are the 2. I will definitely use it when I travel it  Italy  with my daughter in the near future.  I cannot believe the retail value. That is insane.  I also stacked 4 coupons to get this box so I paid about  $30 dollars. They figured out this little trick and you cant stack the coupons only you firstbox10 now.  I will not pay full price for any of these boxes so not sure which ones I will buy in the future,
