I signed up in late September, and was on the list to get the November box. However, after the october boxes when out, I got an email that they had an october spot for me, and so I got October's. It seems to happen often, from what I've read...I'll bet you get November, though possibly a bit after everyone else. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm sorry but I think you are out of luck.  As of four days ago, they were completely sold out of November.  I purchased my box, which I thought was going to be for November, in mid-October and elected to be included on the wait list because I never remember to uncheck it.  My box was coming in December - I guess I was too late.. So I would be getting two December boxes (i signed up for a 3 month sub). I contacted CS 4 days ago and asked if I could get a November box instead so that I wouldn't get 2 December boxes and they told me they were completely sold out.

I hope you get lucky!!! 


After they send out the monthly boxes, they do usually have some extra and people do get off the list. I did, in October, and so did several others...so it does happen!

I wish I had known this!  I wouldn't have cancelled so soon.  They offered me a refund and I took it.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Aw, I would have too...just because there's no guarantee, and my luck, they WOULDNT have any extra that month!

 
Okay thanks guys!! Maybe ill just stick to buying my soap at whole foods ( or try a one off purchase )

 
I'm going through subscription box withdrawal.  I only subscribe to Popsugar, but with the limited edition boxes coming and going, I need my November box.  I don't want to wait another 2 weeks to get it.  I need a cheap subscription, that gets here at the end or or the beginning of the month.  Any suggestions?  November Popsugar, I need you!!!!

I'd recommend Wantable (any of their options). You can customize it and they ship really fast (I have gotten both mine within 3 days of ordering) and if you don't like it you can return it with prepaid shipping. It's not super cheap ($36/box) but since you can customize and return it feels worth it. It's really easy to unsubscribe or skip months. Plus the shipping speed is great if you want something ASAP. 

 
I've been dying to try wantables for a while now. But I killed my budget this month buying sub boxes and subscriptions. Plus I forgot to skip julep this month and I got two boxes of julep too so I could've ordered a want to postbox but instead have to julep boxes with nearly the same items. I've heard really good things about the wantables box. But just recently have started to hear some negative comments about the box. Mostly that it's the same brands each month. But I think next payday I'm to give wantables a try. I LOVE the fact that you can return the box with free return shipping if you don't like it.

I got  3 wantable boxes last spring  ( makeup ones)   and they sent me things I did not want and duplicates of some items in each box. They seemed to ignore my questionnaire.   I was almost getting only one brand Cailyn cosmetics which I found annoying. I didn't get what I saw the bloggers get not even close.  The brand was good and you are getting  around 5 full size items so it is a good deal. I  decided to get a oct makeup box and I was thrilled with it. It had 5 items 2 from cailyn cosmetics but that was ok because they sent me exactly what I wanted from my questionnaire. I loved the box so much I ordered a second oct box..They sent me 5 totally different items then the last box. Again I was thrilled. They do let you return it for free no questions asked if you do not like the box which is great.

 
On the natural products note, I would love to get a bottle of dr bronners in one of my boxes sometime. I use their almond and their baby Castile soap but would love other fragrances.
LOVE dr bronners!!! I don't actually buy anything to wash my face with besides the dr bronners tea tree Castile soap. I used to break out all the time and only do very occasionally since I started using that.

I use the almond but would like to try the others.

Starlooks is my current fav subscription, followed by Orange Glad (baked goods). Yum!

 
When do the boxes usually ship? October was my first box and I was on the wait list for it so they sent it out after everyone else's. 

 
Any one charged yet?  Perhaps Monday.  The sooner they ship the better!!
I'm guessing that since the price increase is Nov. 4, that's when they'll start charging. Ah man, I can't wait for the box. So excited.
 
I absolutely love Pop Sugar except for the fact that our preferences don't seem to matter. I have been a subscriber for over a year, and I I know we can expect to always receive our first choice in deviations. I would also think that I wouldn't get my least favorite choice every time,but that has been the case. I wanted the pink watch and I got blue. I wanted pink spa wrap and I got white.Wanted purple bento and I got blue.My Cynthia Vincent shopper was absolutely not my taste. Does anybody else get annoyed by this?

 
Just cancelled my sub after 3 months. I just can't justify having it with the price increase. I rarely get use out of what is sent and its pretty expensive when my other subs are only $10.00 a month. Maybe I'll resubscribe in the future if they have amazing boxes or lower the prices.

 
I subscribed for the first time to try out. I too heard it was a great box to get, so I thought I would give it a few months and see how it goes. I haven't heard anything about it yet though.
