Escape Monthly Best Of Box & August Box Spoiler!

Enjoying the honey caramel chocolate from Lake Champlain Chocolates in Vermont. Yummy. Can’t wait to try out other items from the Best of Box.

My sister is receiving her Best of Box today. It looks like my box will be arriving tomorrow.

I contacted Rebecca yesterday and she stated that our Best of boxes will be going out at the end of this week arriving early to mid next week. Can’t wait.

Also received the Paris mini-box today. Tomorrow my regular Escape box will be arriving. I couldn’t resist ordering both since it’s Paris themed. I haven’t tried anything yet.

***SPOILER***
1. Institut Karite Paris Shea Butter Hand Creme – rose scented. Beautiful packaging.
2. L’abbaye de Flavigny Gourmet Candy – Candy flavored with anise is one of the oldest treats in France. It’s in a beautiful tin that I will be keeping.
3. Nuxe Shower gel – 100% plant-based soap-free shower gel.
4. Moulins de La Brague Provence Olive Tapenade – Family own. Olive-based food.
5. Bonus – Bonne Mamam Orange Preserve – My husband is going to love this.

I haven’t tried anything yet, but I am sure everything will be wonderful. Can’t wait for the regular box tomorrow!

I agree that Escape Monthly can do a better job updating their customers. They did post on Facebook that the shipment was stuck in customs. Now it is released and it sounds as though the Paris boxes are shipping today. I think this is something beyond their control.

My sister and I were among the first to buy the Best of box. We bought it a week before it was posted on the blog. I found out because my sister wanted to know if anything was available for India under offers. We both knew at that time of purchase it would not ship until the 15th. So we knew that a week before it was posted on the blog.

Escape will not ship the Best of Box until the regular boxes ship. It is unfortunate that communication isn’t the best, but they have always come through.

Also to be fair to Escape Monthly, Popsugar, Birchbox and maybe others that I am unaware of have a similar business model when it comes to their luxury editions. They need to be purchased in advanced and can be subject to delays.

I used the company website, not someone else’s link to purchase, no matter what someone here clearly stated. The company outright admitted they didn’t indicate shipping dates at the point of purchase. I’m pretty good at reading for comprehension but in any event, even my confirmation fails to note it. In any event, as of yesterday they still haven’t shipped anything (per their customer service). And they may not arrive until Sep due to “unfortunate delays.” At this point I don’t even want the box. I just want a refund. I had no intention of making a monthlong interest free loan to a company with nothing to show for it. The most egregious aspect to me is the fact I had to chase down information about shipping delays. That’s the kind of info the company needs to push out, not vice versa.

Paris box will be shipping soon.

We had an unexpected delay getting the $26 Institut Karité Hand Cream through customs, but fortunately it was just cleared and everything is back on schedule. We’re sorry for the delay, but we’re sure you’ll find it was worth the wait!

I know that this is an old post, but does anyone know if they are still offering this box? I thought that I saw on their website that it would be available until August 15th, but when I went to order it yesterday, I think that I will be getting the next box.

Anyone know how long their shipping normally takes? I ordered my anniversary LE box 9 days ago and haven’t heard a peep since after the confirmation email. And they aren’t responding to status requests so far. Not leaving me with the best CS impression. But I still have high hopes for what I eventually get.

Ahhhhh I’ve been going back and forth all week about whether to get both of these boxes!! I should totally get both of them, though. I feel like I can always swap what I don’t want, or save them for Christmas time.

Sigh. I saw the spoilers for the Quarterly 1000 Places. Not what I expected. My box arrives on Thursday and will be able to tell better how I feel about it. Still I don’t understand…

***SPOILER***
how a travel journalist can ignore the 125th anniversary of the Eiffel tower.

Looking forward to my Paris boxes from Escape. I ordered a regular size and a mini because Paris is a place I hope to visit someday.

No problem! I ordered mine yesterday… There are only 107 left, now.

The Escape Monthly box seems like it would really interesting! I would love to subscribe but every month is doesn’t seem like the product choices or value are what they should be. :{

This looks pretty great to me! Especially if he chosen products are as the site describes – the top rated product for each box this year. For the price it seems a pretty good deal. I’m not subbed to this one yet but it is on my short list (way better to be on that one than my other “list,” no one wants to be on that one, lol).
