@@Laurlaur did you look at reviews for this month's box before you subscribed? They were already up if you only subbed a few days ago....

Wanted to share with you guys, if you are planning on getting anything from Fig Jewelry (the maker of the Surprise/extra gift earrings that included a 15% off coupon aka FIG15), you can add an item to your cart, go thru the process of checking out and then leave the site. A while later (maybe 30 min - 1 hour later), you'll get an email offering an additional 15% off!

No one has e-mailed me back yet, but Social Bliss did respond to my Facebook message and sent me a tracking number on there. It doesn't work yet, but I assume it will soon. They did tell me that as of now, gifted subscriptions don't get tracking e-mails, but they're working on it.

I personally cant imagine anyone paying over 100 dollars for that purse.. Its not even real leather. I wish they would not inflate the price like that.

I have purchased Izzy and Ali handbags from Nordstrom before and WOULD have paid for this. When I saw the spoiler, I checked izzy and Ali website and that is the same designer price as well. Please don't ruin it for the rest of us. Because I was very happy with my box until I saw this message.

I dont always like everything in every sub box I get, but part of the fun of a box is trying new things and value. Otherwise I can always search on ebay all day. but its just not the same experience.

@@Kristen27 I think it's a gorgeous bag! I am soo thrilled with it & even happier that I only paid $40! The rest of the box was just a bonus for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

@@sparklesgirlxox I am ready to see some spoilers to decide if I am sticking with another month or not. I wouldn't mind a handbag a month club /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@rachelshine  Yeah I did, silly me thought that I would be getting the next months box!  :wacko:

I hope that we DO NOT get another handbag. I signed up seeing items in the first few boxes that were different, new trend, the fedora and the trendy necklace, I really was drawn by those, something fun and different. The Hand bags are nothing much out of the ordinary, that frankly I could have bought at my small town JCP store. I don't dislike them, but frankly wouldn't have gone in the store and chosen to buy them. I hope they kick things up a notch and do something like the first boxes and NOT send another purse, ENOUGH with the purses.

I've been in communication with CS about my earrings; they've offered to send me a replacement pair plus the SURPRISEME pair. Communication is a little slow (seems to take them a day or two on their side to respond to each message) so I'm going to wait until they actually send me these earrings and I confirm they aren't damaged before I resub. But I will resub at least one month (even if I miss May) because if the earrings had worked then having them and the purse would have been worth the $50 and the fact that they are trying to make an effort to replace the damaged earrings does make a difference in my mind. 

Also, in response to the person who said they would pay that much for the handbag - to me it's a question of style. It's not a handbag I would personally choose for myself. I do think it's a great bag and it is high quality and I will enjoy using it but if I were shopping for myself I would never spend that much on it. I'm not trying to criticize the brand or the quality at all. I can see others feeling it's worth that amount of money.

It reminds me a little of this TKO Milano Skeleton watch I got in my Fancy mystery box. It's amazing considering the box cost me $40 (and I got a few other great items) but there is no way I would have spent more than $30 on it even though it sells for $95. It's just completely not my style. I'll throw it on occasionally but not often enough for such a large purchase.

I sincerely hope that they never send out a fedora ever again. That was why I didn't sign up for this box sooner. Nope, nope, nope. Only about 5% of the population can actually pull one of those off and I am not one of them, nor would I like to be. I'm LOVING the purses. You can never have too many if you don't like it they make fantastic gifts!  

 

[sparklesgirlxox]

Wish there was a spoiler for this month. If I find one I will post it  !!

 

[rachelshine]

Well I am kinda glad my debit card had to be replaced! They went to charge me for this month and obviously I haven't updated that payment info. I could have sworn that I read it would bill you on the date you signed up, which for me would be in 2 weeks. 

I'd love a spoiler before I sign up for another round!

 

[CuriouslyAmanda]

Just wanted to update everyone that the replacement earrings did arrive and are in good condition. I'm still debating a resub. I always like to act positively if CS is good but in this case I feel it was adequate but not extraordinary. They sent me replacements for damaged earrings and sent me the SUPRISEME earrings which were a nice bonus but, on the other hand, I could have originally gotten them if I had subscribed one day later than I did. Now debating whether I have any ethical obligation to resub.

I might wait a month and see how May turns out for everyone and then reconsider. I did appreciate that they ultimately fixed the problem so that's kudos to them.

Glad they made it right for you, at least! I wouldn't resub out of obligation, even if they were nice. If you don't like it or you feel uncomfortable doing it, then I wouldn't.

I'm definitely not resubbing, even if I see another month I love. I still don't have my box! They sent me the tracking info (finally, after I harassed the poor customer service people through Facebook, since they never returned my email), and it's still in "pre-shipment." It's now May and I don't have my April box. No way am I giving them money again.

Interesting to hear so many CS complaints. I've had nothing but amazing CS from Socialbliss--even for just little nit picky things I brought to their attention.

I do agree about the handbag situation--it's nice and all but I can't imagine subbing for a year and having 12 handbags, I'd never use them all. I've currently subbed for 3 months so I have the wallet/clutch thing, the pink bag and the last bag in black and I use them now and again, but yeah--I already have about 6 handbags, I am not sure I need 18 haha. It would be nice to see a different 'big' item in the box--but anything else they'd replace it with would surely have naysayers as well so yeah, what do you do /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I would resub for the right item, if they continue to have spoilers, but last month the only thing I liked was the purse and the rest of it seemed like random, cheap junk.

I kind of feel the same way. :/ I hope May is amazing for everyone who is subbed though! I'm still on the fence and depending on what the spoiler(s) is/are... I may or may not resub.

Good point; I might wait for a spoiler and then resub.

I'm trying so hard to be patient with Socialbliss, but I don't know anymore. I just want the box that I paid for. It's still in the "pre-shipment" stage according to my tracking number. I kind of think it got lost or something at this point.

The customer service rep I talked to on Facebook was really nice and said that they were finishing up shipments last week, but mine never left. Now it's May and I don't have my April box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I think I just got unlucky. LoL

I also have not received my April box. It would be my first box and I'm ok if I don't get the April one but I feel like I got charged for April. Anyone else out there with the same problem? Is it normal to get a box so late?
