FabFitFun Winter 2017 Box Add-Ons – Available Now for All Members!

They’ve added more add ons (today, I think)…some nice bundles and more Trestique! Can’t go wrong with Trestique!!

I just found the ZOE AYLA UNICORN STYLE 10 PIECE BRUSH SET on Hautelook for $19 (free shipping at $100). That is $5 less than the add-on price!

Always the same complaints each add on time. Give me a break. Annual subscribers get the add on access early because they pay the money up front and don’t have the option to get out of a box they may not like, like a seasonal member can. As a one time seasonal member, I was able to get a box, cancel and get a new box for $10.00 of each time, just using a new email. As an annual subscriber, I cannot do that. I think FFF would lose a lot of annual subscribers if they change how the add ons are done. Early access to add ons was the only reason I upgraded, and if they take that away or make it to where I can only get one of each item, it is no longer worth paying all of that money up front.

This sale is definitely a free for all and can take some time…and a LOT of page refreshes…to snag items. Annual subscribers will pick up things for seasonal girls and designate a drop time. I learned in my last go around that a lot of things will become available as it gets closer to the end of the sale. People grab thing that they might want and then ditch everything they decide against or what won’t fit in their budget. One thing I will complain about is people listing items for swap when the sale is still open. Multiples even…like a blanket in each color to trade for 4x the amount of stuff. I don’t think it’s fair to grab the max of an item just to keep one and swap 2. That makes it impossible sometimes for others to even have a chance at things. I can understand picking up a bundle but not liking everything in it. I just think it should be a rule that there are no add on swaps allowed prior to the sale closing. There are a lot of ticked off women on the FFF forum speaking out about it to the company and I can completely understand why.

What do you guys think of the add-ons this season? What are the best ones, and what are you most looking forward to? I’m getting the grey hat, red scarf, and yoga mat spray!

Has anyone gotten a mystery bundle? I’m curious as to what is in it and if it’s even worth it.

I’m seasonal. I kept checking several times throughout the day and now I have on my cart all the add ons I wanted and two of the sponsored items.

Basically nothing is sold out until the sale closes. It’s a matter of whether you’re willing to stalk the site waiting for your item to become available. I just casually looked and 5 sold out items were available.. so it’s a matter of who wants spend the time.. or complain

I understand frustration but annual subscribers should get a perk. Those who are not use alternate emails and get the $10 off promotion each quarter as well as other promotions. This is one of the few benefits to paying your money upfront and committing. Plus everyone has the option so there’s really no room to complain

I don’t mean to upset anyone, but the only reason I finally bit the bullet and paid upfront for annual is for the early access to add-ons. I would be very upset if they changed that. I know it’s been said that seasonal members pay more, so if that is the argument- then upgrade to the annual and get early access.
It’s too bad that people have so many complaints about this, as I feel like we are all adults and we know how this system works and why it is done the way it is. FFF wants annual subscribers- they are a financial contract that allows them to better forecast earnings, pay staff and helps if they try to get investment capital. It’s how the subscription model thrives. So in order to do that it makes sense to give the annual members some perks.

All the sub boxes should do special boxes or add ons like a lottery! First subscriber that’s still active to the last, give them a special time to pick. Give each person 5 minutes, from like 9a to 8p or something. Send each person a time that they are to log on for their 5 minutes, that way no one is mad. And if you miss your time, log on to shop when you can with whatever is left. That’s my suggestion anyways…

I think they should definitely limit the quantity to just one per customer so that people don’t hoard stuff. Within minutes the free stuff was out of stock so even though I’m an annual subscriber – I didn’t get my hands on it. I tried to limit my add ons to$100 so I could still get the Rachel Zoe Box of Style and the Popsugar Winter Limited – that’s a little over $300 already and then Black Friday is coming up. My wallet is so dried up right now, it’s killing me. I have memorized my card number – not a good sign. Thank you Liz for all the heads up.

I really don’t mean to be negative but the way that fff handles on always reminds me of the worst parts of black Friday, everyone hoarding things until they decide if they want them or not and the people who aren’t at the very front of the line are left with shreds and scraps. It has always made me not want to participate in it regardless of the fact that it is a bit of savings. I hope they come up with a more friendly system that doesn’t crash their website and make everyone but a small few feel frustrated.

I am an annual subscriber for few years now, and have never been too much into Add-ons, but over these few years, my two daughters grew up to their teenage years and are now obsessing with add-ons. I probably made a mistake by giving them login to my FFF account and letting them pick whatever add-ons they want and only asked them to pick few items for me that I really really wanted… at the end, only 2 items from my list are in my cart now, and both of my daughters swear that they were on add-ons the second they launched and my requested items were out if stock in less than a minute (hard for me to believe, but I would give my girls benefot of a doubt). Ling story short, I just checked the cart and my two teenagers picked over 15 items worth some material $$$. Unfortunately, I do not have time to go through all items during the week (job, 2 teenage girls, 2 toddler boys, oh right, and the hubby), but I will be dropping a lot off during the weekend. So, please, seasonal subscribers, do not be too upset and keep checking the web site, a lot of items will be dropped by us “annual subscribers”.

For those upset that a lot of things are out of stock because of annual subscribers – I’m an annual subscriber and haven’t been able to get the things I want most either. I checked within an hour of going live and I’ve checked at least 10 times a day every day since, and have not been able to grab them. I think those better items are also really low in stock. So even if you were an annual subscriber, you wouldn’t necessarily have any better luck. :-/

To the seasonal subscribers who are upset about things being out of stock: continue checking back over the next few days! Remember that annual subscribers are going to start eliminating stuff from their carts as billing day draws closer. I can say this as an annual subscriber myself- I have way more items saved in my cart than what I’ll actually end up with, and I’m planning on narrowing things down and eliminating the overwhelming majority of it this weekend. So don’t fret! Hopefully the stuff I end up letting go of ends up in all of your carts instead of the carts of those who are just hoarding stuff for add-ons (trust me, I don’t like those people either).

Aaaaaaand everything good is already out of stock. Great -_- I feel like past boxes weren’t this limited with their add ones…

The way FFF handles ad ons seems unfair to me. I think they need to place a limit on 1 ad on per person for each item instead of 3 for each item, because people are hording ad ons and listing them up for swap before they get them.

Does anyone know if FFF will re-stock any of the free add-ons? I’m guessing no, but I’m sure I’m not the only one with that question 🙂

Hello! This is my first box, when do they start shipping?

Hello! This is my first box. When do they normally start shipping?

Not very happy that over half of the add ins were out of stock. I get they try and cater to those that do the annual but in reality sometimes the person paying more for the box is the monthly person they should more options.

Got a few things, but most of the items I really wanted are out of stock. Hopefully they pop back up as it gets closer to the bill date. Wishful thinking!
