Little Lace Box Subscription Review + Coupon – April 2015

I was subscribed to this box for a short time when it was $39.99 per month. The boxed was curated much better as it includes household items and personal care items. Currently, the box is 59.99, and includes items that I can get in HomeGoods for approximately $30. I really think that they need to get back to their old ways of curating great boxes. In my opinion, $59.99 is steep price for a subscription box, especially when it includes things that I can get elsewhere for a fraction of the price. I was really looking forward to subscribing to this box once again, but I will wait to see what they offer in the future months before I subscribe.

I am in shock by how awful the contents of this box were. I received a pashmina that is $5 on the street. I purchased this same exact pashmina from street vendors multiple times in different colors. 3 of the products I received were from the same company and the other 2 are from a separate company. That is just LAZY. The reason I subscribed is to get a variety of products from different companies. I am extremely disappointed at this expensive service and would never order anything again from them.

Hi Liz,

Why have you not reviewed the June box? I’d love to read your thoughts on this one

If anyone is interested, I am selling my complete June box for the price I paid $39 shipped. It includes the watercolor silk scarf, nailpolish in Premier, ring in tourquoise, hat in brown tweed and scrub in Lollapoluzza (or something like that!). Great curation, but unfortunately, not quite my taste and the ring is too big on me (I have freakishly small 4.5 size fingers)
Email me at [email protected] if interested.

Hi. There are a number of turquoise rings up for swap. I’m not a swapper ( sounds weird). Anyway, I’d being willing to purchase if anyone is willing to sell.

Got my shipping notice for the June box. Should be here Wednesday. Yeah!…..at that rate it will be here before my Kloverbox which isn’t moving at all.

Has anyone noticed the theme for the next Little Lace Box? It’s Elizabeth and Darcy! Wow, first box every I am genuinely excited about. Yay!

I just received my “Really Nice Surprise” from LLB, and it is exactly that! I don’t want to spoil it for everyone, so I’ll just say, “Wow!” Be sure and read your letter. Thanks, LLB!!!

For those who were wondering about the “May Surprise” it was asked on their FB and they replied that it would be shipped the last week of May, and will be “shipped in coordination with a surprise announcement”

Has anyone received LLB’s May “Really Nice Surprise” for current subscribers? Or shipping info? I can’t wait!

Little Lace Box has posted a spoiler on their website. I sincerely hope they will be able to deal with their customer service issues. They have a lot of potential. Here’s the “Sneak Peek” from LLB:

“A girl should be two things, classy and fabulous” ~ Coco Chanel

We make it to the summer season, look at our wardrobes and wonder, how do we make the transition from the gloves, wool socks, heavy coats and winter hats? Well LLB will curate a box of fashion accessories to help you make the transition to summer and maximize your wardrobe for both day and night. On trend colors, patterns, textures and accessories that will make you feel classy and look fabulous.

Inspired by our favorite designers, our June box will shower you with inspiration and accessories to glam up your summer style and take you from day to dinner. We’re very excited, because our June LLB brings us back to what we enjoy most about curating—fashion and style. Every summer has a soundtrack, so get ready, because in June, we’re coming in hot! (But don’t worry, no temporary tattoos, I promise).

Shipping on June 20 TO 23, 2015.”

If anyone wants to buy my box for what I paid + shipping please email me at mskimmers(@)yahoo.com

I know there have been a lot of comments about the pattern on the dish……….this may sound strange but mine doesn’t seem to be anything to keep rings on while you do the dishes…..as they just roll off. I suppose when I think of something to keep rings/watch in I’m thinking of something with a bit of a lip??? (and my pattern is on the top)

I have been meaning to go on and post about my Little Lace Box Experience. I received my anxiously awaited for box (and appreciated their text message = awesome!) and to my dismay, everything was covered in oil/vinegar. The small bottles shattered and everything (literally everything) saturated with this mix. I was so unhappy. I took pictures and emailed LLB right away. Here is what they did and they didn’t have to do so… They responded immediately. It was Saturday the 25th when I received the box. I emailed them, their company was closed. I knew this. But I was emotional and wanted to email. It didn’t matter that it was the weekend -as they still responded and corresponded with me throughout the weekend. On Monday the 27th, they emailed me again AND had already had packaged the replacements for ruined items and shipped out to me. WOW. Here is a huge difference in this LLB subscription to others I sub to. LLB is a smaller sub box company that appears to be very personal and a dream of these sisters. I feel that pride, time and love in selection of items -in their boxes. I am a business owner and pride my company on responding fast and what we offer. It is also important to how we respond. Here is an example that I experienced in March through April with another company (Not LLB): My box to a $100 sub company was never sent to me. They said it was delivered. When I tracked it, it said that the label was printed. That’s it. I proved that with the tracking to this other company (as I called the shipping company). It took over 10 emails and a month, a solid month!! before they ever shipped out another box as they wanted to do internal due diligence (I respect due diligence except for the fact that it was at my expense, I should not have to wait a total of 40 days to receive my “replacement yet original” box for the $100 box that sat in their warehouse over 40 days from when I was supposed to receive it. I think the only reason why I received it at all was persistence, and letting them know I was contacting my credit card company. BACK TO LLB – This is a small company, not a giant one like who I ordered from on my example, and they responded on the weekend, at night, and shipped my replacements which I had in less than a week from my complaint. I AM IMPRESSED! I feel for LLB as everyone has high expectations. And when someone’s isn’t met as they do not like Kate Spade for example, they slam the box. Not stating you do not like the brand, but I have read comments on sites that I was surprised about the tone. You sub to these types of boxes for surprises, fun, some companies for the selections and themes, the value, the delight in not knowing what you will get. Yes everyone is entitled to their opinions on what you like or not and should be able to share them, absolutely! But sometimes I read really harsh criticism on products you do not like, or you did not want as you sub to tons of other boxes and received them tons of times. Not everyone subs to tons of boxes. Some peole love Italian treasure boxes as a nice change to the norm. I had an incredible family dinner and loved it. And we like getting things you may not. While I agree with blue items for one – funny but they came from all the same company. It’s our tone in how we talk about our likes and dislikes that take a different meaning. LLB – if you are reading this, you hit it out of the park! With the theme, the customer service. The extra bottle of Oil/vinegar. LOVED IT! Excited for the next box. Keep on Keeping on please.

Comment

I can’t figure out where to put the code for the olive oil. Where on the website is it? Thanks!

This box wasn’t for me. Luckily, it was for a lot of people because it sold within 5 minutes of putting it on the swap listings.

Ordered my extra olive oil! How AWESOME! I can’t believe we get an entire other bottle after getting two little ones, as well! I am sorry to hear that some folks received broken bottles…what a bummer for all involved. I feel lucky that my post office took better care of it!

As for the other items, I’m excited for the dish soap (that’s a big bottle!), the tea towel, and even the little jewelry dish. It looks a little homemade at first, but I also see how it looks designer as well. I received one with the design on top.

I know some were not ecstatic for a food box, but they did a food box better than anyone else, imo! And for cheaper! ($32 for me on the annual, but still good deal at regular $40 price). I see some folks said that the value was less on this one than others, but keep in mind that it costs a LOT MORE to ship a heavy box.

Hmmm, so the LLB sub went up in price 50% per box, but the RV is less than what it was when the boxes were $40?.. Well, not a hard decision to make; I’ll pass..

I thought this box was just fab. The balsamic is delicious and I’m excited to pick out another. The ring dish will actually be used in my bathroom next to the popsugar bowl from December. I cook a lot so I have other versions of most of the items, but I love seeing what LLB picked out. I’d buy the box again (and wish I had another because it would be perfect as a house warming gift).

Loved the box, no broken items for me. Tea Towel is adorable, my uncle operates a farm market out of his truck. I will be sending this to him. Excited to try the oils, so cool that we get a 13 oz bottle. Ordered tonight, no problem. Dish soap smells wonderful. Trinket dish is very pretty but delicate. It is truly a thoughtful item to include in this box. Thank you to LLB.

My vinegar was shattered in the box. Leaked on everything that wasn’t covered. No good!

Great box – I can’t think of a better theme! Even my husband really liked this box. Good job, LLB!

I kind of loved this box. As much as I love beauty items, due to my box problem I have about enough creams and balms to last me til the apocalypse. One of LLB’s strengths is the element of surprise and the variation from month to month.
I love high end gourmet food items and will use all the pasta, pesto and oils, and desperately needed a new tea towel. The soap feels luxe and indulgent (and will get used). I hear everyone else on the unglazed, plain jewelry dish– it just looks unfinished somehow, even with the explanation behind it. And I was shocked that after such a heavy, full box we are getting Yet another full- size olive oil.

The mailman just delivered my box everything arrived perfect, nothing broken. I can’t wait to try the red pepper and eggplant sauce I got. It’s a rainy day, I think a nice loaf of warm bread and a pasta dinner is in order tonight. I just love this sub!
