Upcoming Quarterly Box Spoilers!

Anyone heard anything on DesignSponge yet? I haven’t seen shipping or billing on it yet. It’s weird that Quarterly would promote it as a Mother’s Day gift if it won’t arrive by then….

Just got billed for #ngq05! Pleaaaase don’t disappoint me Nina!

I just got billed for Nina Garcia box. Hope we don’t regret not cancelling 🙂

I decided to cancel Nina Garcia. I was hoping for a hair dryer in the box and can’t use the spoiler. I also cancelled Design Sponge because it looks like the picture needs to be framed which means it will probably sit around the house for awhile. This is the second time I cancelled DS. I did like their first box a lot.

Now if they would bill me for Jeremy Lin. I’m hoping whatever is in that box is appropriate for my 16 year old.

This is just reminding me that it feels like my Nina Garcia box is never going to arrive.

I’m actually pretty excited about the DesignSponge spoiler. My house is awash with neutrals so I am hoping the bright pink heart will give some much-needed oomph to the empty back wall of my kitchen.

For me, the curation is a big part of the value, and it’s nice to find some artists and sources I wouldn’t usually find on my own. Normally, I might admire the big pink heart online or see it in a magazine but never buy it. Having it sent to me helps me get more comfortable with trying new things.

I just saw a D*S post about a new lipstick color the founder created as part of a collaboration. I would love if they put a sample in the box, since color is the theme.

I’m still disappointed about the new shipping and return policies from Quarterly, but willing to stay for another quarter (errr… five months?) if I like this box as much as the last one.

I saw the email in my inbox and got excited because I thought we were getting a hair dryer in the Nina Garcia box. Maybe I will win one if it ever ships.

It will be interesting to see if they can actually get these out in time for Mother’s day…since we know that shipping is NOT one of Quarterly’s strengths.

The last Design Sponge box was only OK. Certainly not $100 worth to me. Generally, the Quarterly boxes don’t really deliver great value. I suppose the prices reflect the curation, something I’m not interested in paying extra for.
Give me a mass appeal Popsugar box any day!
Please answer this Liz – do I have to use the ‘notify me’ button for every thread I’d like to follow? I must be up to around 30 by now.

What happened to Travel Noire? One of them was on the first spoiler thread for the TN box, saying there was a much bigger spoiler to come. Since I never heard anything, I cancelled bc I can’t deal with getting screwed by quarterly again. But I’m interested to see the review and I might resub if it’s good

They seem to have revised their website to read 10% instead of the 15% it said a bit ago. Oh well. It’s actually cheaper not to use the discount code–$55 + free shipping if you don’t use it vs. $49.50 + $6 shipping if you do!
