*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[RaquelMichelle7]

Yeah the Fresh sugar lip balms ruined me on most lip balms.  I never thought I would spend so much money on something like lip balm but I've been eyeing the sets at Sephora to get some more.  On a related note I also like the Epicuren lip balm that popsugar sent out in January, easily the best item in the box which is funny because it wasn't one of the big ticket items.  

I know what you mean I've been eyeing the sets too. I really have my eyes on the full set of minis but I keep telling myself I don't need to spend $60 on lip balms right now but maybe closer to the holiday season when we get those sephora gift cards for vibs. Hopefully they're still in stock later on.

I hope this box is really good! If not i may have to cancel /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> my fiance isnt too thrilled with the price increase!

I was really hoping someone would get their box today. I'm so impatient when it comes to waiting for spoilers for this box.

me too! Maybe Monday.

 

[IffB]

Would love nail base and top coat...

 

[caseybean025]

I totally scoured the internet for the last hour looking for spoilers. Nada... :-( I'm sure Monday SOMEONE will get their box! Fingers crossed!

I went ahead and added a few months on to my sub before the prices go up. I do think $40/ month for a box is a bit steep - I think it's about a 15% increase and its like $60 extra a year...almost 2 boxes. I don't think they should have upped it that much. I mean I love the box and obviously am still going to sub but I just think it would have been smarter to increase it maybe 5-10%. Oh well - they seem to sell out every box so it probably makes financial sense to them

Looks like my box left City of Industry yesterday! Hoping it arrives in SD tomorrow, but I don't think FedEx continues to drive packages around on Sundays.. At any rate, I think this is the fastest a PS box has been on its way to me. Super-excited to see what 3.7 lbs of goodies are in there!

Mine too, left City of Industry yesterday.  Mines on the way to Los Angeles, so hopefully Monday or Tuesday for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I might have to go spoiler free this month, lol.

Kind of funny, I was just looking at last year's October box and people were complaining about it online, even though it had a red flower candle, two full sized OPI polishes, candy from Dylan's Candy bar, and a bunch of other nice items.

I actually really loved that candle (I got the Indian jasmine sceny) which surprised me a bit because I generally don't like any floral scents. I don't know why but I'm really hoping for another candle (even though I just ordered 6 woodwick candles). I love candles especially cinnamon infused ones.

 

[caseybean025]

Boo! My shipping hasn't updated since 7:30am Saturday! :-(

I upgraded from month to month to a year sub and saved about $100.  The year sub was like $380.  Totally worth it.

My box has seemingly gone in the opposite direction! From Gilroy, to Watsonville, to Sacramento! Hopefully they just forgot to do the arrival scan and it's sitting at the City of Industry location with the rest of everyone elses! Lol

When I mentioned the additional full size or luxury items, I didn't read anywhere that it was the reason for the increase. I was thinking of a survey I answered for them a few months back that asked if we would be willing to pay more if the value increased. I think I answered that the balance of price vs value was in the 75-100 range for $250+ value. Guess that works for the special edition boxes. I love those. Wish there were more!

SmartPost does not typically take the route you would expect.  I believe that packages leaving Gilroy usually go first to Watsonville and then to Sacramento before they get sent on their real adventure.  And if you think that's bad, packages going to Portland leave Sacramento and go to Troutdale ten miles away -- and then to Auburn/Kent 150 miles away before returning to Portland for delivery.

My box is already in Kansas! It's definitely taking a different route this month but making its way to Texas waaay faster than I expected! Hopefully we'll see some spoilers tomorrow!

 

[plumplant]

My box should be here tomorrow! Its only an hour away as of 2pm yesterday

Jealous! As of right now I have no idea where mine is. It still hasn't updated since it left somewhere in NJ early Saturday am.

It's that much savings? Hmm going to have to take a closer look at details for cost

 

[wisconsin gal]

Dumb question, I'm sure I've missed it, but if I were to order 1 year ahead before the price increase, is that the money savings?
