Nice! It looks like way more black and white scarves were sent out than the other colors.... or maybe they are all black and white and the other colors I've seen are other options on the website? I was kinda hoping for a green one... or even orange, but black and white is VERY cute. I think I'll be getting my box today. I've been watching youtube vids on how to 'style your scarf'. I swear, the lead up to receiving a subscription box is the best part of subscribing.

I'm 90% sure those are the other colors avail on the website. I *think* if there had been a variation on those we'd have seen it by now.

I'm in love with the...

scarf!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Looks great I can never figure out how to tie them!

Living in Chicago I get to track my package's monthly trip to Chicago, then onto its usual weekend in Wisconsin (I hear it's lovely this time of year) and back to me in Chicago allegedly to be delivered this upcoming Thursday. I will never understand how it's cheaper for SmartPost to send the package to New Berlin which is roughly 100 miles north of Chicago instead of taking it from the FedEx depot in Chicago to one of the many, many postal centers in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. I know the Fort Dearborn Post Office is the 8th Circle of Hell but the 24/7/365 one on Harrison in the Loop is nice and convenient.

Here here! Us Chicago girls need to gang up on them. Or at the very least we should get bonus cheese curds from Wisconsin

Yes! I think I said this last month...bring us cheese curds, sausage & some New Glarus Red Ale for good measure!

Yay!

We'll have to compare - mine is in New Berlin now....I'm in Milwaukee.  I keep thinking I *should* get it today since its lonly 15 minutes away, but because it has to go to the USPS yet - I'm guessing maybe not until tomorrow at the earliest.

I'll send you my portion of cheese, beer and sausage.....I moved here a year ago and ate/drank enough of both that I barely fit in any of my clothes - lol.

I was at the CLE/GB game last month and the hot dogs had cheese injected into them, not what a Chicagoan was expecting to bite into. I will however take extra beer in compensation for that gastric horror.

Perhaps we can set up a diversion on the Edens and catch the truck before it crosses the border?

Another PDXer right over here, too! We seem to be all over this board today. And my box should be delivered today!

I'm in Wauwatosa - I'm also hoping I get mine today, but preparing to not actually get it tomorrow - USPS seems to just like to disappoint me. But yay for all us midwest gals here!

 

[s112095]

I fail to understand the reason for this. Least my box could do is stop at the cheese castle since it is going to hang out in wisconsin for no apparent reason

I'm in WI and mine left New Berlin yesterday and is apparently in my city. But it just says in transit. Plus the mail already came and no packages. :-(

 

[wisconsin gal]

Haha, cheese castle stop would be nice, it sure does take a while to get our boxes. Expecting mine Friday, maybe Thursday! I'm so excited for it

 

[DevinMcWhite]

I JUST got my box 20 minutes ago! I got the Naughty candle and the Lemon scented polish remover wipes. Also, I didn't get the little booklet that explains stuff. I've looked EVERYWHERE for it, because I can't believe they'd not put it in there. It's no big deal, it's just weird. 

Here's some info on the wipes, they were the first thing I used and oh boy are they diff than I'm used to. First of all, they are very thin, they have a LOT of oil in them as well. They say they remove all 10 nails with 1 wipe but I had some very chunky glitter on my nails and it took me 3 wipes. The oil smells good and it left my nails feeling strong and shiny. I wouldn't use these for glittery nails, but for plain polish, they are great! I'm sticking with my good ole acetone for glitter moving forward. HOWEVER, I had to touch my mouse a couple times during the polish removal process and everywhere I touched it kinda melted a little. I thought it was just oil on the mouse so I wiped it off... but no, it's sticky and when I scratched at it a thin layer of black plastic came off under my nail... .moral of the story is, be careful. The oil is potent.

The boxes do seem to take a round about way to some of our houses.  Mine was 15 minutes from my house on Friday and now it's travelled about an hour away.  Oh well it should be delivered tomorrow and I'm excited to get it!

 

[Shauna825]

Yay!  Mine is "out for delivery" today!  I can't wait

Hahaha I just came here to ask about this! I live in the South Loop, this is my second month for my popsugar subscription and the first time I thought my package had gotten lost! Then on Saturday I noticed it was back in New Berlin again! I wonder what the point of that is? 

 Seems like a waste of time/money.

Sadly this is completely normal with PopSugar, SmartPost and Chicago deliveries. I can't recall getting packages from anywhere else that have come by SmartPost so I'm not sure who the rate-limiting component is in this trifecta of slow. Whenever I see SmartPost listed as a delivery method this clip always pops into my head:
