POPSUGAR CFDA Limited Edition Boxes Available 6/15

I got the email. Clicked on it out of curiosity. It’s still $195 and they’re still saying it’s worth over $500. I did not buy.

And they are still claiming that the value of the box is over $500

I got the email about Popsugar being able to secure more boxes, but came here first. Thank goodness I did. They are still $195, but this time it says that all sales are final, so I assume no returns.

I clicked it out of curiosity. It worked for me and showed the price is $195.00. I really thought that they were going to use the items as GWP when purchasing a sub. I don’t see how they can lower the price without others complaining. I’m not purchasing it either way. Just curious.

I think I’ll have to pass since its $195 again especially if it’s all the returned stock. I loved the earrings and tote though

Yeah I just posted a comment but it disappeared. The website went down for a little bit then the box popped up for sale still at $195.

they are up for sale now…still $195 so Im going to pass on it, if it was $150-100 maybe

On sale now! Still $195.

Just an FYI…

I just received an email from Popsugar concerning the CFDA box:

“Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not currently have a scheduled release time. You will receive an email once they become available on our site.”

I think this whole thing is strange… the way the email was worded is wrong, they didn’t “secure” a limited amount of additional boxes, they’re returns from unhappy customers. And the email was obviously only sent out to people who didn’t order one in the first place… were they thinking they could “trick” us into thinking we’d be so lucky to be able to get a box? And since it was only sent out to those who didn’t order a box, is the pricing going to be different? Really makes me wonder bc people are saying they can’t find any info about the box anywhere else, so its like they don’t want to upset those that did pay $200 or whatever the price was for the box.
I have no interest in purchasing the box. I just recently subscribed to the monthly boxes and have high hopes. but I think this is all very deceptive in how they’re handling this situation.

Has anyone received their refund yet on their CFDA box return?

Does anyone know how to order this box? I received the email, but cannot find it on popsugar.

I’d buy back my returned box at $100
LOL

Yeah, another shot at a great box!

I can’t decide if that wording is making me laugh or making me angry.

I paid full price (ended up keeping mine). I would not be happy if they reduced the price. Can’t imagine they would be so silly to do so. I did, however, at the time think it would be a better $100 box. But wouldn’t be happy if they offered it cheaper to others.

You know, I paid full price for this box. I lurved the bangle. In fact, so much so that my fiance got me the other two colors on eBay. Yeah! The items themselves weren’t bad, but this box was very poorly curated.

Fabulous curation is sometimes what makes a box for me, not necessarily the price or promised value. It was almost $200, the value they had promised didn’t come close, so much so that I was adding things up, which I never do

And it looks like they are selling returned boxes. They sold out in 80 minutes and allowed returns of unopened boxes. How else could they pull off this “limited amount”. Very, very uncouth and an all over fail for this box. I love their monthly box, and, again, my fiance stepped up and got the summer box for me on eBay, since we were on vacation when it went on sale. Their LE boxes are a total hit or miss, though I so look forward to my monthly box.

Nice marketing twist, clever.

I am sure some people will buy these and think they got a lucky break that some of these exclusive boxes became available. Not everyone reads MSA, etc., yet. 🙂

(Now if they still can’t sell as many as they have on hand after a while, they will have to drop the price somehow. Would be really interesting to know what percentage of people actually returned these, but of course we never will.)

Talk about some shifty wording. “Able to secure a limited amount??” Uh yes, I’d say you were after all the returns. I’m trying to think of a way this resale of rejected boxes can be successful and I’m not seeing it. Either they try to sell these for the original cost, which will likely be a bust because many, including myself, thought it was overpriced, or they reduce the price and basically screw over those that bought the first time around and decided to keep.

oh my. I returned my CFDA box without even opening it … I wouldn’t have complained if it was $100. Are they for sure keeping the price at $195?

Just curious, are there any health code violations in selling returned beauty products and/or wearables such as earrings?

When I worked at a retail store, we would have to mark returns as damaged for credit from manufacturers because were weren’t allowed to put it back on the shelf.

(Granted that was over 15yrs ago, I have no idea what rules are now, or if that only governed my state).

AHAHAHAHAHA! How lucky that they were able to secure more! I wonder where they could have possible gotten them from?! (I bet they slap the new mailing labels right over the return ones!)

Hmm, I wonder when they will drop the price. $200 is overpriced. $100 and I am on board, but $175, $150? At what point will y’all give in?

I’d be surprised if anyone buys this box after knowing what’s in it. Especially at the same price they’re offering it.

Nice try, Popsugar, nice try.
