*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[CuriouslyAmanda]

My bad; apparently the notification email that I was getting this month's box went into my rollup. It is official! 

I'm confused because my account shows my "Status/Next Payment" as Jan 2014. I purchased November (and got on the October wait list) and then upgraded for an additional 3 months. Shouldn't my next payment be for the February box? (Since now I'm getting October, so I'd get Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, and then renew in Feb?) How does the billing work?

Before they upgraded me to October it was showing my "Status/Next Payment" as March 2014 which seems correct. (Implies getting boxes Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, and then having to renew in March.) 

I emailed them but maybe one of you knows what's going on?

If you have one of those teensy elastics, you could fold one in half through the loop and put the closure through the ends. They make clear ones that would be inconspicuous.
Oooohh THANK YOU!

I do not have one but I will be getting some next time I go to the drugstore /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just got this email: I really wish I didn't opt in to get an earlier box! Oh well. When do they charge for November?

I did not opt for the early box, since this 3 months sub was a gift for a sub expiring this Month, and got the same email.... I emailed PS to say I did not want it, no response yet. I am very annoyed, Nov, Dec and Jan is what I wanted to give. Back to this box....I wear a chunky men's Tiffany tank gold watch and the bracelet looked great next to it! I never wear bracelets, but being pink, seems very appropriate to wear in support of breast cancer awareness.... I am 47 with a corporate job and I will be wearing to work. Thankfully, I have a tiny wrist, the bracelet is small Hate the makeup.... Got black liner too. The cookbook is nice, however, I CAN cook quite well already. If they do not push back my gift sub back to the month I signed up for, I think it is time to part ways....but would still pay up to $100 for the NM box!

They must have had a lot of people cancel their subscriptions, because both my sister and I got that same email today. After looking at it, I think I'm fine with it. The book looks cute, I love Julep polish (especially that top coat) and I'll definitely eat the rice krispy treat. I know my sister will love everything in that box, so yay for that! I'm really, really hoping one of us gets the Julep polish in Coco, because I know she really, really wants something in that color because it's one of her school colors. Hopefully. If anyone doesn't want theirs, please let me know!

First the Julep top coat rules. I like the nail polish a lot too. Now if only I could learn how to paint my nails without making a mess! I'm hosting a small dinner party tonight and making the crockpot lasagna, skillet chicken, carrot fries, green beans and flour less chocolate cake all from the cookbook. So far it's been a breeze and the cake smells amazing in the oven. I hope the lasagna is good because it's 100% easier this way! :chef_smiley:

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the bracelet in person it isn't as bad.  Not exactly an endorsement...but there you go.

Let us know how it turns out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was looking through the cookbook and it looks amazing!! I love that it has pictures and really good instructions. I am seriously not a good cook, but looking at some of these recipes I might have some fun cooking /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I want the PopSugar LE box.  I have never purchased one before, and would love to,,,but with the Government Shutdown...I just can't!  My dog's chemo has set us back some too.  With the holidays around the corner, and all the women already bought for....I can't justify this right now.  Still trying to justify upgrading my subscription for 3 more months.

I received my box this morning.  I cant say I'm thrilled with it, but it might be my mood since I was "temporarily" laid off because of the government shut down.  Even if the government opens up tomorrow, it might be another month before I can go back to work and get another paycheck.

I'm enjoying the Crispy cake, but everything else is now up for sale on eBay.  The hairbrush sold about a minute after I posted it, but in case anyone is interested in the Stitch Fix GC or other items here is a link:

Has anyone not eaten their Crispycake yet? I know they're pretty irresistible, but I'm trying to get my hands on another so that I can gift to my sister (and I'm not willing to pay $10.95 for ground shipping, even with 15% off!). Will trade other items! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have to confess that I ate my Crispycake yesterday -- and threw out a good chunk of it. I just didn't like it as much as the pre-made Rice Krispy Treats you can get at Target/Fred Meyer/etc. It was just missing something I can't quite put my finger in. Buttery flavor, maybe? It just tasted flat, for lack of a better word. ETA: My black kitty sure is interested in the paper backing that I could have sworn I tossed in the garbage can, though.

I didn't get the e-mail from PS. Hmm:/

Neither did I...

Apologies if I missed this, but has anyone traded their StitchFix card to a non-subscriber and checked that the person was able to use it? I am a former-but-not-current subscriber interested in trading for them but I saw that StitchFix may be verifying emails with PopSugar and I would not pass that test!

 

[trin0183]

Hello, I love my box! But I am super bummed that the pink bracelet is missing from my box. I sent the popsugar folks a email and I hope they'll respond. This is my second box. Have any of y'all had missing items and did popsugar respond to your email?

Yes, I was also missing my bracelet. I emailed them and they replied promptly. Within 24 hrs, they told me that they would send it to me. No tracking or other info, but I'll keep a look out and see how long it takes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Lindsey Smith]

I hope this government mess ends soon. Hang in there!

I just got my box this morning and this is the best box I've gotten. I love everything in it. This is exactly what I want to see when I get my Popsugar. Last month was a dud for me, but now I'm happy.
