That guy who posted the contents of the box actually has a bit of a history with Tim Ferriss. I kind of wish he had brought that perspective into his review a bit rather than just listing the contents of the box.  I'll have to remember to look for his video with the go pro later because it would be nice to see everything rather than just read about it. 

Winning The Tim Ferriss Marketing Challenge
In 2011 I won Tim Ferriss’ 4-Hour Body marketing contest and got to fly down to Chile with Tim for a week of skiing at a bunch of different resorts.  It was a pretty surreal experience especially after being a huge fan of the 4-Hour Work Week book since it first came out.   The trip was epic with some hardcore skiing, and Tim is a super chill person to hang out with, really funny and down to earth.  Was an awesome time definitely worth busting some hump on a marketing campaign for the book.

 
Must be nice to have that kind of money to throw around, yes? :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Or to have the kind of life that has room for those types/styles of items.  

Loved reading about the contents, though.  I was SO curious.

 
Can anyone offer me any insight into best of quarterly? Is there a certain time of the month new boxes are added? And are the best of quarterly boxes randomly placed on sale? 

 
Usually Best of is left over boxes from what I can tell. I haven't noticed a specific time. 

Has anyone else bought the Dan Karnazes box? I ordered it, but then canceled because I just paid for Tough mudder for my friend and I. I still want it and was wondering if anyone thinks there will be boxes be available in two weeks or after it ships. 

 
Just got an email from Quarterly about a change in their return policy. Looks like the satisfaction guaranteed is no longer applicable.

I'm guessing everyone returned their Nina box (except I never bothered to return any of my boxes - though I pretty much wanted to). How did she send a hip hop hat? or millennial or whatever it was? I don't know. I saw a rapper wearing it when i google it.  it's super cute. i so wish i could pull it off. i am just too old.

I am not shocked, I thought it was kind of crazy that they let people do that when there was nothing WRONG with the box, it's just that people didn't like the curation (which is always a possibility when you are buying a box of random stuff).  I can see this upsetting a lot of people who relied on that feature as a safety net, but I don't know of any other sub that lets people do that. 

 
Well, as a person who has returned 4 boxes this year, this really is sad news for me. I loved that there was essentially no risk involved with these boxes. The last Nina box was a huge miss for me and I sent it back and received a full refund, without even having to pay for return shipping. Ditto with the Rachel box, Eva's first box and the second MSA box. 

Moving forward I think I'll only stay subscribed to MizzFit's box. The value and curation has been consistently fabulous with her boxes. I'll need to think about whether or not I want to stay subbed to MSA's box. Nina is out because I'd rather have OuiPlease considering the price point. 

 
I think a lot of people will change from Nina Garcia to Oui Please.  It just seems to be a better value for the money.  Nina seems to be hit or miss.  I think they are going to have to do more spoilers to get people to commit to $100 for a blind box.

 
Except, Oui Please is $225 every 3 months vs. $100.  That's too steep a jump for many of us, no matter how nice their boxes are....

 
I paid for annual with 20% off so it is not even $100 for a box... Much better then Nina!
$225-.2($225) = $225-$45 = $180

Am i missing something here?

Oh i don't know what the annual price is, but it brings it down to less than Nina's box?

I believe the annual sub is $650.00, so those that jumped on the 20% off deal paid $520.00 for their sub. For 6 shipments that $86.66 a box. 

ETA: I don't know if tax was charged or not, so I did not apply that to my calculations.
