Hitha on the Go posted a bit about curating her 2nd box after having mixed reviews of her first

http://www.hithaonthego.com/hgq02/

I thought her post gave some insight into the process (not easy but fun) and that she "personally negotiated with brands" to get the items together.

She of course didn't say how much of the $50 charge she gets to use per box...

 
Is there a specific Quarterly trade thread? I tried using the MUT's search function but ever since the redesign that's been hit and miss for me. TIA!

 
I got my Book Riot box a couple of days ago and I think it's great. It came with the following items:

"Read Harder" water bottle

"Read" Sticker - 4x6

8 x 10 Print - "I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library - Jorge Luis Borges" 

4 x 6 Print - "They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered - F. Scott Fitzgerald" - this smaller print is on the same quality cardstock, but also has information about the company printed on the back

"As you wish" button

Ebook code - "Maps and Legends" by Michael Chabon

What We See When We Read by Peter Mendelsund w/ copied post-it notations from the author

The Salinger Contract by Adam Langer w/ copied note from the author

I only get the Hitha on the Go box, which focuses on packing solutions, and I thought #HGQ02 was great (http://www.hithaonthego.com/inside-hgq02/) if you are interested in travel-related stuff.

Nina Garcia seems to be the most popular one if you're interested in makeup and lifestyle boxes. It's an expensive box but you seem to get a lot for it. I imagine My Subscription Addiction will be good but the first one hasn't shipped yet to say for sure.

I love Quarterly. I would recommend you start with Nina Garcia because she delivers high above the price point and I have always really enjoyed her boxes.

That said, if you want to start smaller and you like organizing things (like I do) then try Unclutterer. Totally different subject (no beauty or fashion) but very practical. Note that Quarterly generally doesn't emphasize value but curation. You might end up with a box where the items it contains are worth a little less than the price you paid but in theory the curation makes up for the rest of it. (E.g., if you are a huge Coco fan then maybe you really place a high value on her "kiss print".) Individual curators, like Nina, may end up delivering a lot more value just based on what they personally have access to. 

I'm very curious to see what's in the MSA box. I was on a trip when it was released and so it's been wait listed for a while. I shockingly somehow snuck a subscription into Arianna Huffington's box last night when it was available for 5 minutes. (I'm still not sure I believe it worked, but it's showing on my account page.) That one had also been wait listed for a while. 

Yay Quarterly!

 
I have also really liked quarterly's unclutterer, book riot and Nina boxes and have subbed to them for a while.

For new boxes, like GQ a lot (kept that) and am trying out Ariana and Jessica Comingore

Agree with other posters that these boxes are really abt curation and that alot comes down to personal taste. Hope u find a box that you really like!!!

Sad story:  I tried to trade my Nina Garcia Otterbox code because I don't have an iphone but had to cancel the trade as I lost the code.  This morning I found it in my kindergarten daughter's backpack... too late to use.  Oh well, I still don't have an iphone, so I guess all is well.

In other news... hopefully I'll be getting my MizFit Quarterly box today and hopefully MSA ships soon!

 
I received a response from Quarterly concerning the cancellation of boxes:

The next (second) MSA box is now available for mailing in November, used FIRSTBOX10 for $10 off … hurry!

 
Has anybody ever had any billing issues with Quarterly? I lost my card yesterday at the store (probably dropped it like a dope) and so I called my issuer and they are sending me a new one,  but it likely won't be here until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Meanwhile, I forgot about Quarterly billing me for MSA, so of course it declined yesterday. Will I be OK waiting until Tue or Wed? It gave me a link to correct so they could re-bill. If I fill that in, how long until they re-bill me? I looked on their site and there was nothing in the FAQ about billing. I emailed, but who knows how long that might take. Can anyone shed some light? I would really hate to have them cancel my sub. I was really looking forward to trying the Tatcha :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Argghh! If only they had charged on time, none of this would have been an issue. Damn delays!

Hmm, interesting response from them. Looking forward to seeing what changes & hopefully improvements are being made. 

Got billed for Liz's box yesterday. Should ship out tomorrow according her site. It has been very cool to have her post some behind the scene scoop. I am excited to see what else is in the box, although the Tatcha kinda makes the whole thing. Not to mention I stacked coupons and got it for $20!

I haven't had an issue but they usually respond to emails within 24 hours. Hopefully it gets sorted!

I used the code successfully this morning and I already subscribe to the Nina Garcia box.  Maybe there's a glitch in the system that come and goes.
