I am new to golden tote and was hoping someone can answer a couple questions. If i got the 149 tote do the surprise items come from the remaining choices? I like a lot of items this month and would hope so. Also, does it ever make sense to go with 3 $49 totes so you can choose 3 items instead of 2?

I am not understanding- I am totally new to all this, so pls be patient with the noob throughout here…You got ALL those sweaters? I am trying to decide on this or the Fantasy Box or might just get overwhelmed (like last month) and just get both…Last month, got overwhelmed and didn’t get any.
ANY help is appreciated-with any of the beauty or adult boxes. And, if it helps anyone, I will take ref codes.

You do not get all of those sweaters. Basically you can choose the $49 tote, which allows you to pick one of the above items (not all of the above items are available in the $49 tote) and then they send you 1-2 surprise items. The other tote is $149, and you get to choose two of the above items (normally all of the items pictured above are available in the $149 tote) and then they send you usually 4 surprise items. I have gotten totes in July and August and have loved both of them.

Does anyone know if they post sizes and what items will be available in each tote before hand? Trying to plan!

Hi Liz,

Golden Tote usually does not discount boxes. One time they offered a coupon code because of a website issue. And the only other time I know of when they did a promotion was for Black Friday totes got an extra bracelet.
I’m guessing no promos for Labor Day for them, but hopefully lots for other subscription boxes! I’ll post all of the ones I find! 🙂

Hi Liz,
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll keep a look out for a tote I really like.
And I’m hoping there are lots of Labor Day box sales!!!
Thanks again!!

Just what I didn’t need – there are 3-4 things I really want but just as many that would really hate. Ugh.

Those are all “chosen” items, so you don’t need to worry about getting one you won’t like. The rest of your items are a surprise.

I’m new to Golden Tote (purchased the August tote) and I want to know if I will be automatically charged for September? Do I need to somehow skip the month if I don’t want to purchase? I can’t find anything under the FAQ on their website… Thanks!

As far as I know, it’s just a one-time thing. You don’t have to “skip” the month like on Wantable or Fabletics/FabKids. You just decide each month if you want to buy a tote. So it’s not really a subscription service.

Cool, thank you! It’s nice to not have to worry about skipping or canceling for once 😉

Might have to go for the $149 tote this time!
