UPDATE 2: I was able to get the site to work this morning, but it looks like they've sold out of their initial box. I reached out to them and I'll update when I find out more.
UPDATE: Within 10 minutes of posting their site went down! I'll update when it is working again. (In the meantime this is the link to their Facebook page if you want to check it out).
I'm pretty intrigued by this new subscription and I had to share. (Plus they have a special introductory offer on pricing).
The Products: Each box contains 5 products from French brands: fashion, cosmetics, gourmet and others surprises! FrenchBox is the best way to discover or share the latest products from France.
Ships to: US only.
What do you think of this new subscription? I have no idea what will be in the first box, but they already have me sold on the chic packaging and design of the site!

Just got mine, box is adorable, postcard super cute, products boring – similar to glossy box. I knew they didn’t have a lot of vendors, but this was a big disappointment. Loved the concept, but not much french or different here.

My box is the same like the one on MUT. I love the nail polish, beautiful nude with delicate shimmer. I don’t wear black eyeliner, so let down there. Happy to get Caudalie serum 🙂

My sister and I both received our French boxes today! I was concern because my box still says pre-shipment, but it is here.

Got my box, got my box, got my box! Mine is not exactly like the spoiler up on MUT. Should I say what I got?

I got a sample of Caudalie make up remover cleansing water (1 oz). Nice size for travel and can be refilled/reused easily (something I appreciate). Sothys hydra-glide lipstick full size–a deep burgundy color. Missiu Eiffel Tower bracelet in a nice blue. This is very young looking and my initial thought was to gift it to a friends’ daughter. However, I read on MUT that someone is using it as a bookmark. I read a lot and love that idea. I pkg Buddy Fruit in banana flavor (probably my least favorite flavor but dh and ds enjoys that flavor–so something for dh from my box, lol!). Wispering Angel wine bag–cut bag, cute idea, not very useful IMHO.

OOPs, almost forgot. I also got a Sothys lip liner/pencil. Color suits the lipstick. And a very cute postcard and a recipe for poached pears. These were not on the card which I’d brought to the computer when entering the information so I (temporarily) forgot them. Sorry!

There should be spoilers posted on the MUT thread later today! My tracking has not updated although that might not mean much since it seems an off month for me and tracking numbers.

Just received shipping confirmation. Looking forward to this!

Got a shipping email with tracking. Says it is coming USPS which I find ‘odd’ from France. Yes?

I think the products are French but I doubt the box is coming from France. Notice how it says it ships to the US only? I think if it was really international, that would be a strange limitation.

You are correct, of course. That makes perfect sense. Really looking forward to this one! Will be monitoring my shipping information once it posts online. Curious where the shipping will originate.

Update:)
Dear Liz, I wrote Frenchbox Customer Service an email, and this was their Reply:
Hello Lola,
We are shipping boxes today and tomorrow.
You should receive your tracking link by tomorrow night.
I’m sorry, we’re not sharing pictures yet to keep it a surprise for everyone.
We expect the first boxes to arrive on Monday. The rest should arrive on Tuesday and Wednesday.
*Also, we’ve changed our terms to reflect the shipping time: subscriptions are now charged on the 25th day of the month instead of the 15th. *
Thank you,
Ben Borie

Hello Liz, thank you for a reply to my prior question. The Email does say this week, when Thursday o Friday? Or next week? Getting a bit concern, hope it’s just that they are getting everything in order to send. They are a New Box Subscription, hope we get tracking soon..
Thank you!

I sign up for the annual subscription earlier this week and just got an email that my September box will be shipping this week.

I just got a email from them now. They will ship this week. 🙂 can’t wait to see this box!

I have been checking out their FB page regularly. We should be receiving tracking notices this week. Also, not every box will be the same.

I got the email saying it’s coming. No tracking included.

Dear Liz, do you have any New updates on this French Box, it’s the 10th and so far I don’t see any tracking on my account or any information on their Website or Facebook!
Reply
Cindy
I can’t even figure out how to sign into my account from their home page!

Cindy
I take that back. I just figured out that you click the ‘connection’ button at the top right of the page. For some reason that was not self-evident to me.

Just got an email that they are shipping – fingers crossed this box is awesome! 🙂

Yikes! I just logged in to check on my account and it displays ANOTHER CUSTOMER’S ACCT INFO – all of it. I texted her (since yes, her cell # is displayed) to inform her and we are in communication. I plan to contact French Box, and will most likely cancel. I am very concerned now that my credit card info will not be safe. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this?

I checked both my and my sister’s account. It has our information. I could only see the last four numbers of the credit card. It does concern me that your account displayed a different account’s information. I am curious what French Box response will be.

Liz – I don’t know if you want to update this. They extended September’s cutoff date with the introductory special of $14.99 until Sunday, August 31st at midnight. I’m assuming EST since the company is in FL. It’s on their Facebook page.
Looks like my sister is going to receive a September box too.

I glanced through the comments and didn’t see this answered. I apologize if someone already posted about it. I did receive a response about the possibility of wine. French Box responded to say that they do not have the right and some subscribers are under 21.

Interesting. I wonder why they have a winery as a vendor.

I bought one month subscription. When do we should cancel to avoid being charged for October? I want to see my first box first and decide if it is worth 25 dollars 🙂
Reply
PA Anna
The FAQ is a little unclear. It says they bill on the 15th. Did you order on the 24th? The reason I am asking is that my sister did and afterwards we checked the FAQ to see if she ordered in time for the September box. It says that the deadline is the 23rd of each month. She’s OK receiving either September or October box and isn’t going to check to see if she can receive September’s box.

I ordered on 20th so I am getting September box. I just don’t know if I should cancel my subscription right now or wait a bit longer, perhaps after I get my first box ..?

I just signed up today! My mom loves everything France and her b-day is coming up… I can’t wait for her to get this! 🙂

I was able to sign up this morning with no problems. I can’t wait to see what the first box is like. I think they should send Liz a prerelease box.
But, for 14.00 … I’m excited.

Got the monthly to try out. How do we cancel month to month if we do not like? Or if we do like and want to change to yearly? Ty

In your account, under the subscription tab, there is a hyperlink that says unsubscribe. Beyond that I’m not sure. I do think that you have to unsubscribe before the 15th to avoid receiving the following month’s box.

Update: the company responded 2 hours later after I sent them an email saying I mistakenly bought 2 subscriptions during their website loading issues this morning. They’re crediting my account back the cost of one month which is what I paid. I’m very happy with their CS! Hoping the box will be just as great.
