Wantable Accessories Subscription Box Review – February 2015

Based on this gorgeous collection, I signed up for Wantable and just received my first box.

The good: a trendy stone cuff bracelet.

The bad: earrings which are on my “dislike” list (huh?).

The ugly: necklace with broken clasp, ring suited to a debutante and I am over 50.

These things can happen on the first try with so many variables. I can see they did not throw junk in a box, someone was trying. So I wrote a polite note and we’ll see how the money works out with a defective item? Return it but give me full credit for keeping is what I’d expect? Also, I see the benefit of being specific on the style profile and will try that.

Is our stylist always the same person? That bodes well for growing in mutual understanding over time.

I bought the one time Accessories box and I loved everything they sent. It was all exactly what I would have picked out. Two gold statement necklaces (one long pendant with jewels, and one shorter one that had quite a few hanging upside down triangles) hard to explain,but really cute. A silver bangle,and a gold ring that wrapped around your finger. I was extremely happy with this box.

I think I need to tweak my Accessories profile some. I tend to like 2/4 items (so I figure it works out pricewise), but I only liked 1 in my most recent box. I’ve generally had luck with swapping items from the Accessories and Intimates boxes. For some reason, I haven’t been able to swap stuff from Makeup boxes, even though they’re full size and not something everyone gets like Glossybox or Boxycharm. Maybe because people aren’t familiar with them?

I have never received a box from Wantables that was as nice as this, from either of my subscribed collections, Intimates or Accessories. When my subscription runs out I am done.

Hello Liz!
I was excited to see a link for 30% off any wantables subscription but when I tried to use it there was no discount showing. Is it for a monthly subscription or does it have to be a 3,6 month etc.? Thank you!

I got the same “stone” necklace this month, and while I had asked for it and was initially excited, I realized quickly it’s a resin. That was a little disappointing, and I felt the price was rather inaccurate–$21 for a fake agate stone necklace. But, I loved everything else, and still kinda like the necklace, so I was pleased this month!

I have been trying to get a watch and hair accessories, it seems that they only want to send me bracelets that are too big and necklaces. Trying one more time after tweaking my preferences and specifically telling them that my watch broke. I loved my first box, hoping that this next one is good.

My first accessories box was such a total miss that I cancelled immediately. I came back with the 30% “we want you back” offer. I really tweaked my profile (hopefully no insane earrings this time), and am hoping for the best. I love that second necklace, Liz. My problem is that I really only like pendants, and I didn’t see that as a choice. I’m not a STATEMENT necklace kind of girl.

I’ve had lots of problems with Wantable. I’m trying really hard to like them, the idea of monthly shipments of jewellery, accessories and intimates is very appealing.
However, despite a few calls to tweak my preferences, I’m continually sent items that are so wrong for me it’s laughable. It’s almost as though they look at my ‘likes’ and play opposites. One accessories month, when my comments/notes clearly said that I can only wear cool colours and silver tones, they sent an orange scarf, brown and gold sunglasses and a couple of other very ‘warm’ toned items.
I received an intimates box containing an incorrect item. I returned it and the replacement was also wrong.
I have many credits accumulated from all the returns, I wish I could just call it a day and get a refund.

Ooh I love both of those necklaces…2/4 isn’t too bad, but not enough for me to subscribe. Perhaps they will come up in swaps.

I love everything you got. I liked 2 of the items I got, and hated 2 others. I may try it one more time copying your preferences.
