*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[melanie0971]

I received an email regarding the price increase. I wish they would offer a reason for it. Shipping cost has increased, more expensive products...something. I always wonder if once prices begin increasing, they will slowly creep up even more over time.

I keep thinking the same thing. At least you finally got an email about it. That's my other issue, no email to subscribers we just find out about it on their web site. That stinks.

Mine got to post office this morning but it says allow 1-2 additional days for delivery. Considering it has been in CA since Friday that is wild.

Well, at least someone will get one today! I wish they had something more to say about why they are increasing the prices or whether we will benefit in some small way from paying a little more. It would be nice bc otherwise I feel like the reason is "looks like we can get more money out of you each month so that's what we're doing." I will probably renew for a couple of months now because I like the sub but will quit if there's no difference in value/better shipping/items/etc when the price increase takes effect.

I doubt there will be an increase in value. They probably aren't making the margins they wanted. It seems like they always sell out and / or have a waitlist. I'd guess they assume that they will have no problem selling boxes with a $5 increase.

I think that they like to say that just in case. Usually for me, I get my box the same day it arrives to the Post Office so long as it gets there in time for the mailman to deliver it to my house.

Can't really imagine being excited about a few of the month's boxes at $40+ taxes (like the diffuser was ok but the rest of the box was meh for me, same for August as gave almost all of it away, July similar giving away the necklace, tea, polish, etc).  Taxes add up.

You're probably right. Still, I wish they'd follow birchbox's lead and keep prices consistent by getting more into product feedback and ecommerce. A lot of us would buy the products if ps had a good shop with occasional promos.

Agreed! I think BB has a pretty great model.

Popsugar sent me an email a few days ago saying something was wrong with my payment information? I don't know what could have been wrong, the cc on file doesn't expire until 01/2015 and I just updated it with the same information. Has anyone else had this happen? My October box says "processing" and is not tracking by reference yet. What has happened in the past with you guys? Will I still get my box??

 

[Mommy Subs]

Yeah! Box is here! Will post item list as soon as I figure out how "spoilers" work!

Mine is out for deliveryyy!! I don't leave work for another 5 hours, though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Perhaps I can send my bf to the leasing office today to tell me (us) what's inside if no one else has yet!

 

[mariahneu]

Someone PLEASE spoil the October box already

 

[briannajo]

I cannot believe there's no spoilers yet! I can't wait to find out what's in this October box! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[RDolph]

I get so excited for spoilers, that I am going to start calling them "excitment enhancers" because nothing is spoiled for me in any way, shape, or form. Instead I just want MORE!

[meaganola]

And this thread has the word "spoiler" in the title, so you don't actually have to put the contents behind a spoiler!
