Rosario Dawson Quarterly Box & Bare Bliss Box Shipping Updates

I found a blog with a picture attached of what was in Rosario Dawson’s Box #2. You have to click the button next to the word SPOILER – I think it’s in post #4 by ikecarus 🙂

Still waiting for mine…seems like some people liked it & some were unhappy.

Got mine today and all I can say is THANKS! it was a true surprise. There are items that are more than the box so that is covered. And while some of the items are a little “silly” I feel that all was such a fun surprise that I don’t care that I don’t even know what to do with some of the things. The bad: it was THROWN in the box haphazard and there is no listing (says it will be online) to know if you got everything (31 items)

I dropped the MSA box (again) at the last minute for the Rosario Dawson box. My sister had to drop the RD box because it did not ship in November and then life got in the way. I decided to buy it for her for Christmas. It arrived today around the same time she did. She is very happy with the box especially with the main gift. The only thing is I did not see a Disney item which I thought was a spoiler from when RD did a voiceover in a Tinkerbell movie.

Did anyone receive tracking for rosario box yet? I got billed a couple days ago.

So, I was snooping about the interwebs to see if I could score a little more of a hint as to what the heck is going on with the shipping of the Rosario Dawson Quarterly box, and I searched for the box’s hashtag (#18902). I guess they did actually get a winner for the raffle – not sure how!! But there is a link to pictures of the man who won with Rosario at the premiere here: https://twitter.com/rosariodawson/status/540642944358055937/photo/1

Still not sure about dates for shipping, though…*sigh*. I was really looking forward to this box, mostly because I wanted to gift out the contents. Now when I think about it, I just get a little sad.

I cancelled all my Quarterly subs this morning. If they can’t guarantee when they’ll arrive, I can’t wait around hoping they’ll show up on time to use as gifts. I also can’t keep wondering when the money will come out of my account. I almost wish they charged when you ordered. I assume that they’re having trouble getting all the items together, but they don’t offer any reasons at all when people are complaining. I’m really bummed that this is my first experience with them. I REALLY wanted to open a gift a day out of the Rosario box. And I loved the spoilers in Liz’s box, but this is kind of ridiculous. It isn’t the first time they’ve had trouble getting all the items together and you’d think that they’d learn from their mistakes and either order early OR be less specific about delivery times. I might order one if there are any left after they start shipping. I noticed that boxes that were once sold out are now available for purchase. You think they’d be more apologetic about screwing their customers, but they just keep repeating the same phrases over and over again.

This is about Bare Bliss – I received an email to redeem a code for the Void product. It led me to the Bare Bliss site. It did not allow me to select a color. The email came in at 10:14 am Sat from Bare Bliss Box. I’m not really sure why I had to redeem the code on their website since they knew I did not receive it, but I did. It states I will receive the product in 5-7 business days.

I got mine today. This is my last one (unsubscribed for financial reasons). When the nail polish coupon comes, I’ll feel like I got a pretty good deal. I also hope for the best for this box going into the future.

I think in general, these vegan/natural boxes are not for me, though. I am not interested in indie/Etsy-type makeup. Nothing against anyone who is into it, or anyone who makes/sells it (there’s clearly a market, and it’s great if people can make some extra money doing something they love), it’s just that I prefer factory-sealed items in containers with labels that were not made on someone’s home printer.

Maybe it is because I have a PhD in chemistry and work at a patent law firm, but I actually trust big companies with chemists and safety inspectors on staff more than I trust home-based enthusiasts. Ah, well, to each her own. (Also, these types of subs send out natural deodorant, which is something I positively hate and will never ever use.)

Did anyone else get the email from bare bliss that Liz got? I have a 3 month sub with them and received my Nov. box today, but I haven’t heard a peep from them about the missing Void Beauty nail polish….

I subscribed for 3 months of Bare Bliss Box, and thought the content of the first 2 boxes was just so-so for the price. I planned to wait and see what was in November’s before deciding whether to renew, but since my sub was going to automatically renew Dec. 2 I went ahead and cancelled. It sounds like it wasn’t their fault, but I wish they would have emailed subscribers sooner to let us know what was happening. I understand mail delays and unforeseen circumstances but it seems like this happens way too often with sub boxes.

It looks like enough people have cancelled their Rosario Dawson boxes after the latest delay that they’re available again, if anyone still wanted to grab a last-minute one

I canceled Bare Bliss Box for financial reasons but I had bought a 3-month sub so I will be getting this one, eventually. I am hopeful that we will get to choose our Void Beauty colors (I’m really liking Envy at the moment) when we get this voucher. That would make it worth the wait for me, not getting any more pinks or nudes…

I cancelled all my subs. I had a lot of them too. I cannot put up with the delays

I subscribed to the Rosario box after learning that there would be 31 items in it like an advent calendar and was really excited to open it during December (and hopefully get some gifts from the box too!). I’ve been waiting patiently this whole month trying to figure out when the box would ship and was really disappointed when I read the email saying it wouldn’t ship until December.

I live in Canada and it seems that it won’t be arriving until after Christmas. I emailed Quarterly as soon as I read the email inquiring about shipping estimates to Canada and am waiting for a response. This kind of changes the whole point of me subscribing to this box and paying an extra 20$ for shipping when it won’t be here in time. I’ll also be out of town from the 23rd on so if it doesn’t arrive by the 22nd…

I still want the box because I think the items in it will be great and will have a great value but am very disappointed arrival times.

I just don’t get how this is going to be an advent calendar themed box for Rosario if we don’t get it until Christmas. I literally only subscribed for this reason. 31 items for $50 is a great deal and I was looking forward to actually doing 1 item a day.

Quarterly boxes never ship when promised so I think I’m pretty much over subscribing to any more of their boxes (sorry Liz). HGQ03 was promoted as shipping in early Nov. so you could use it over the upcoming holidays but mine’s not arriving until Dec. 1st, after Thanksgiving travel…

This sold me, but now it is sold out 🙁

Either FedEx is doing a crappy job this month or they’re getting blamed for many a sub box screw up.

I hope that when quarterly says “by the 25th” they don’t intend for their boxes to show up on the 23rd or 24th. That won’t be super helpful for those of us who are going out of town that week.

Thanks so much for the update, Liz.

I feel bad for those that ordered the Rosario box looking forward to opening a gift each day. I realized AH had to be shipping later in December once I read the contest rules. I enjoy Quarterly subs and hope they are able to have a better year in 2015 with timely shipments.

I cancelled my Bare Bliss sub a few weeks ago. I do not know what to think about it. It must be hard to start a new sub etc. It doesn’t make sense to me. It was to ship on the 15th according to their webpage. Then Facebook – The Void Spoiler was posted on the 17th stating it will be in our box that week. 11/25 it stated that the delay was due to servers and boxes will ship that week. Now the email about the missing product on 11/28 with no ship date for the box.

Void states they ship daily Mon-Fri. I wonder why they couldn’t reship the product. It is going to cost someone a lot of money to ship out the nail polishes separately.

I loved the first box and used their code to buy more nail polish. I ordered more SW Basic products from Target and the lip balm from the box is my favorite. Didn’t care much for the second box. I really want to like this sub I’m going to hope that my November box shows up and wait a few months to see what happens before signing up again.

Good question on the ticket winners – this is a definite case where a box delay is a problem!

Several days later and I’m still really annoyed about the Rosario box. This is completely ridiculous. How many of the boxes have been delayed a month or more? At least 4 that I know of. Right now I have a VERY poor impression of Quarterly as a business and would advise friends and family not to use their service.

I was just on Quarterly’s site, and there are some open subscriptions for MSA02.

I’m also wondering if Art Toys and Collectibles is behind schedule because I was told they would charge and start shipping last week, but I’m aware of neither happening yet.

I’m going on vacation the 22th, so I’m hoping I’ll get the Rosario box before I leave.
