Liz – Spoilers are on MUT.
I think I am OK with not receiving the box.
Liz Cadman
Thanks for the heads up! Just put together the spoiler collage!
Annie
I am so frustrated with this company! I find it really hard to plan for these. For some reason I did not get charged yet for the NINA box, hoping that I don’t get skipped. They have messed up many of my other subscriptions and then sent me an email telling me how sorry they are that they “skipped me”, gave me a $10 credit. That better not happen with this box. I have been waiting for MONTHS!
Tara B
I got charged!!!! I GOT CHARGED!!!! woohoo!!! That means next week they start going out!!!

Hi. My name is Nancy and I’m an addict. I just signed up for the Nina Garcia box and saw that the MSA02 box was also open, so I grabbed it too. It must have been a single spot because Liz’s box is on Waitlist again. Sorry for everyone waiting but….yea me!
Laurie
I cancelled Hitha (rationalizing that, for all I travel, I really don’t *need* it), but now it’s open again and I’m considering re-subscribing…augh!
Marty
Hi Liz, I was cruising another post and noticed your comment that you have received your NG04. I know you can’t review yet but just wanted some hope that they were actually beginning to ship those darned boxes. The email I received from Quarterly said they were waiting for an “essential” piece to add to the collection which only increases my expectation for an exceptional box. Can you say if you are happy with the items?
Hallie
I read the comment too, but I think it’s from last year 🙁
Marty
Hallie, Thanks for confirming that I did actually see Liz’s post. I remember thinking it was mid November but that there was no year. At least I’m not going crazy! Though it got my hope up that Quarterly was finally getting around to sending NG04. Darn!
Sorry for the confusion Liz. I will try to retrace my steps but I was digging pretty deep – one blog leads to another, and so on, and so on…
Liz Cadman
Can you let me know which post the comment is in? I want to make sure I fix it to prevent any confusion. Thanks !
Liz Cadman
Hi Marty,
Sorry, I’m not sure what comment you are referring to – I haven’t received the box yet. If you can send me a link to the post with the comment I’ll check it out and make sure to remove any confusing messaging.
Sorry!

I saw that the MSA Quarterly has boxes available. I’m trying to figure out if any of my boxes will bill this week.
Laurie
How much advance warning does Quarterly give before they charge you?
PA Anna
Zero. Sometimes a person is able to get an exact date and share it with everyone. Still that doesn’t work. The last exact billing date I received from Quarterly by contacting them for NG was Oct 20 and that did not happen.
Laurie
Awesome. (Sarcasm intended.) Thanks!
Melissa H.
If Quarterly keeps delaying the Nina Garcia box, they are going to have to change their name to Semi-Annual!!
Helen
Lol! This was supposed to arrive in September and no-one has even received shipping notice yet, so bi-annual perhaps?
I’ve decided to stick it out, unlike the other 60 who’ve apparently just cancelled. If the box is so amazing it’s worth waiting for, then great.
If not, I’ll just return it.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we hear that there will be no NG box and Quarterly finally give up and call it quits.
I ‘liked’ Nina G’s Facebook page in August and see by her feed that she’s super busy and either filming or out of the country.
Sarah
Ahh I’m so sad. I started to subscribe to MSA02 yesterday but didn’t have my wallet on me and put it off. Checked in today and it’s sold out *tears*
I hope the quantity is increased next time, they always sell out before I can get to them!
Claudia
It’s available again. I just ordered my MSA02 box!! Yay!
Sneaky Burrito
You need to memorize your credit card and bank account numbers. I didn’t set out to do it, it just kind of happened for me from repeatedly typing in the numbers on websites. (Monthly bill-paying is a breeze now — don’t have to look at any checks or credit cards!)
Sarah
You’re right… I should memorize them! It would’ve come in handy twice this week!
Liz Cadman
Just checked in with Quarterly – the wait list is open – 60 spots left 🙂
Sarah
Thank you so much, Liz! Thanks to your timely reply, I’m all signed up. Congratulations on your success – I’m sure you’ll sell out every time!
Regan
Yay got one!!
Liz Cadman
Wow – I did not expect it to sell out until I posted the spoiler. We plan on increasing the number of boxes each quarter – we have to cut off the number each time though so we know how much quantity we need to secure.
Kathryn
I am going to jump ship on this box. It keeps putting pushed back. Not knowing when it will ship is frustrating.
Not to mention I feel like they are making more boxes available due to the popularity of it and that is causing a delay.
Eva
I’m one of those that jumped ship after the 2nd delay (I don’t give 3rd chances IRL or virtual). Switched to Rosario Dawson cuz I really liked her last box & a little intrigued by the 30+ items in the next one.
CreativelySwank
I’m justifying this as Christmas shopping. I figure between this, the MSA#2 and Rosario Dawson I’m far more likely to be happy with my money spent than if I had bought the PS NM box. The bonus is their return policy, it doesn’t even feel like a gamble.
Erin
Uggh – I am leaning heavily towards cancelling this box. I feel like with all of the delays and issues it will be either really awesome or, what I am scared of, really bad. I don’t know if I want to take that chance……Plus, since the last one wound up in best of maybe I can just buy it there….can you guys please just make this decision for me! lol
Vanessa
The fact that you can get a full refund is so cool! Its risk free so I am going to keep my subscription and see what comes. I know $100 is a lot but if I am unhappy I can return it so I know I won’t be out the $100. I have been afraid to pull the trigger on the Popsugar LE boxes because of this but with Quarterly, its worth the gamble.
Stephanie @ Inspiring Insomnia
To those wondering when #NGQ04 will ship, I asked Quarterly last week for an update, and they said that they are attempting to secure one more item, and the box would ship in November. (No specific date.) Someone else on Twitter asked for an update a few days ago, and all Quarterly would say is that it would ship “soon.” So, who knows. I assume it will be at least another week, since they cannot get any more specific than “soon.”
Kat
Someone asked them on Facebook about the ship date.. they came back and said mid-November. But no exact date.
Rachel
Agreed on the excitement for MSA02! Liz – any updates on when your box is expected to ship this month?
Liz Cadman
We’re finalizing shipping times hopefully this week – I will do an update as soon as I have solid info. Sorry about the wait!
trinity
I canceled my Nina box after seeing the spoiler. It totally spoiled it for me, lol.
Nancy M.
Isn’t this at least the 3rd or 4th time that the waitlist has opened for this box? Maybe people are cancelling because they are tired of waiting for it or they are getting High End Box burnout??
Gloria
Wish there was another spoiler for this box. I desperately need one to cheer me up after the PSMH NM dissapointment and frustration. I love the fact that you can cancel the box if it has not shipped.
Helen
I’m so tempted to cancel this mythical Nina Garcia fall box.
It’s now the first week in November for crying out loud! I was one of the saps who paid months ago.
You’d think Quarterly would have the decency and marketing nouse to keep us updated. And now more subscribers are being added.
Excuse me, I’m just away to check out the Design Sponge box. This particular rat might be jumping ship.
Sheryl
Actually Quarterly doesn’t charge you until they ship so you haven’t actually paid for this yet. You can also return a box you don’t like even after you have opened it simply by emailing them. They will send a prepaid label and refund your money. I have done that with a few boxes I was unhappy with.
Helen
I understand that I haven’t actually paid yet, but I budgeted for this since September. $100 is a lot to me and that amount is on hold until Quarterly/Nina Garcia deign to begin shipping the fall box.
And I agree that it’s entirely possible that the waitlist keeps opening up because many people are bailing. This may be Nina’s last box.
Tara B
Tell me more of this Design Sponge Box.
Anne
Was not thrilled with the spoiler but I’m still going to take a chance on Nina as long as it ships this month!
Kat
I am getting so frustrated with this. There is no reason for this kind of delay. This is my first box of he’s. I am considering cancelling and grabbing the new design sponge box. The theme pattern sounds fun!
I am a bit worried I won’t like the nina box considering I wasn’t thrilled with the spoiler.
Ugh..this is a lot of money to just have sitting there waiting to be billed
Anne
Liz, you didn’t disappoint me with the last box! Already swapped for about 5 more jars of the coffee scrub and another chai latte candle! Can’t wait to see what you bring to the table for the next one!
Leah
Does anyone know how to buy multiple quarterly boxes? I really want to get a Bianca Jade box for my sister for Christmas (she’s already subscribed to the MSA box). I’m not sure how to do it!
Liz Cadman
I think you may need to create a separate account to buy another subscription of the same box.
Leah
Thanks! I’m up to 3 at quarterly since I just joined the Design Sponge subscription. $100 is still a big number for me, but I really love the website.
Jennifer
Does anyone have any idea when this box will actually ship? This will be my first Nina box, and while I’m excited, I’m also a little nervous about all the delays.
