I finally received my box today after waiting for over two months and filing a claim with PayPal and what a box of junk! Honey and a mortar and pestle and citrus juicer and a tiny bracelet for $120.00. What a ripoff, so disappointed!

Jerilynn

Did you not get the 3 other items and the wooden box? I actually loved the items and it seems that most other people did too. I know they had a huge problem with DHL that caused a number of the boxes to be delayed for over a month.

Krystyn

Which other items did you get? I also got some wire thing with a coin on it, can’t figure out what it is though.

Barbara

Has anyone received their box yet. Mine shows no movement since 11/30 and i am not getting any responses from them. UGH. Between this snd Decoterie I am out of a lot of money and have not receivedanything from either one of them

Caroline

I received my via UPS. Items were nice but I am not resubscribing. It just seems too nerve wracking and unorganized 🙁

Jerilynn

I am hoping they get their act together logistics and communications wise as I thought the items were unique and beautiful. They need to learn to communicate with customers when there are issues. The two best boxes in my view communicationwise are Luxor and LLB.

Jerilynn

I did receive my box and I think there is a problem with DHL. There is a discussion about it over on MUT. The items are lovely. Mine was sent UPS and there was no problem with UPS.

Candie

Got a tracking number a couple weeks ago…wrote to Stavros..ha said he would check into it..and still no box…getting totally disgusted!

Candie

I got a tracking number from Stavros a week ago which does not work. Now, he is not answering emails or Facebook requests for the whereabouts of my box. Ver frustrating. Seems to be quite a problem recently with ver late shipments on boxes. Seems like a couple of our group did actually get their boxes….fingers crossed!

Barbara

I haven’t received my box yet but my tracking number shows its been shipped. Hopefully it will arrive soon

Jerilynn

I have received my box and it is lovely. Mine shipped UPS express. I believe some of them shipped DHL. It might take longer with DHL. Barbara, where does it show your tracking is? Candie, you may need to file a claim if your tracking number shows no movement. I think they are new and are having issues with logistics.

Liza's mom

Stavros sent me a tracking number and it is supposedly shipping ups. Of course, it hadn’t actually left the facility just electronic information has been sent to say the package is ready. I will not dismiss my claim until it is in my hands. Had anybody seen movement on this box? Has it actually left the facility?

Liza's mom

Be aware that if you close the dispute it is very hard to re-open. I will not close mine until the box is in hand because right now, I am even concerned that if they send tracking we will get an empty box. I only purchased the first box, and unless the first box is amazing I will not be continuing.

Liza's mom

Caroline, have you heard anything? I have decided to go ahead and file my claim with paypal. I will only dismiss it once or if the box arrives at my doorstep .

Caroline

Well I never heard back via email nor did I get a call back… Now they are closed for the night. I am so mad I did NOT use paypal. I just wasn’t thinking UGH

Liza's mom

Have any bi monthly subscribers received tracking and has there been any movement by those who have tracking. I have received no response for my request from the company for tracking. My paypal claim had been escalated so they have 10 days to get the box to me or my refund should be issued. At the rate they are going I doubt there will be a second box.

barbara

I have received my tracking # tonight so hopefully you will receive yours too… Starves also said they will be sending the 2nd box in a few weeks

Mickey

I opened a dispute with Paypal after I did not receive a tracking number by the date they said I would get one. Today I received the tracking number however it only shows that the info has been electronically received. Once I see movement on the tracking number I will close the dispute. Stavros has been very kind by email and I do believe they are trying their best but at the same time something needs to be said about the execution of shipment on their first box. Hopefully the box will be great and this will be the last issue I have with them, I signed up for the annual sub so it will be disappointing if the contents of the box will be lackluster.

caroline

called number he provided… seems EVERYONE who could help me was/is in meetings. I had to leave name and number for them to call me back. that was almost two hours ago

Liza's Mom

Had anyone received a shipping notice yet? It supposedly shipped on Friday. The owner seems like a nice guy but there have been numerous delays with this first box. If I don’t receive a notice that shows dhl has picked it up by Tuesday evening I am filing a complaint with paypal.

Liza's mom

Had anyone received a shipping notice ? They were supposed to have been mailed Friday. If I don’t receive a notice by Tuesday evening I will be filing a claim with PayPal.

Caroline

I am giving hi until Friday. Last email on10 November he wrote: Your first parcel will arrive approximately by the end of next week.

So if not arrived I will try to cancel… I was an idiot and did not use paypal 😐

Angela

Just wondering has anyone heard anything on this one?

Valerie

Hi Angela,

I had signed up for a year subscription with one of the promo codes, but just canceled and received a refund from PayPal.

I had emailed customer service for updates and received personal emails from Stavros, the owner, assuring me that the package would ship by a certain date. Twice that happened, and twice the dates passed with no further contact from him. When I filed the claim with Paypal and they notified him, he finally reached out again and assured me that the box was shipping that week, it would have an extra gift, etc… It did not ship that week, so I completed the claim and got my refund.

He seems like a nice man with good intentions, but I could not trust that much money to someone so unreliable.

Krystyn

I had the same experience, I purchased the first box and emailed on October 25 and was told it would ship in ten days, nothing. Then I emailed again and on November 10 he said it would ship by today and I would get an email with tracking number and again, nothing. I purchased through PayPal so I just opened a claim dispute and we’ll see how that goes, I have never had to do that before. I’m just so frustrated, don’t make empty promises and notify customers of delays and give them the option of a refund, don’t just let us sit here wondering and waiting if we’ll ever receive our package or if we just wasted hundreds of dollars.

Oh, heck. Thanks for pointing out they ripped off OuiPlease in context of marketing. I have set aside some money for an annual home/lux/lifestyle box, (and annuals for Sephora and Macy’s whenever that happens) and thus far, nothing out there makes me feel like investing the cost of a plane ticket to see my husband’s family in New Zealand.

...

There’s no way their 2nd box is coming in a month… as per someone’s comment below:
“The next parcel vol.2 which arrives 1st week of December will have a different region of Greece with different products”

Jerilynn

Still waiting for shipping too! Should be this week.

Caroline

So much for October delivery….

Caroline

For people who subscribed, I’d love if people post when they receive shipping notice…. Still waiting

Caroline

anyone receive a shipping notice yet?

Mickey

No but I did receive an email about a week ago saying they would send it in 7-10 days. So hopefully any day now.

Oui Please is registered in Texas as My French Connection out of Dallas. This box says in its terms that it’s under legal jurisdiction of Germany and the UK. It looks like this box ripped off Oui Please. I’m tempted but I think I’ll wait. Just in case legally something happens with the copyright stuff. Seems a little fishy to me.

somanyboxessolittletime

Hi everyone. I wrote to Oui Please a while back when I first saw this box to tell them about it – that they literally copied their entire visual and website (and language). They stated that they are in no way affiliated with the box. That to me, the copying, gives me little faith in such an expensive box. No originality. No idea on how to run a subscription box. No identity. I also wrote to try and get some sense of what this box would be selling as their language is so generic (number of items, total value, etc). They finally added “twice the value.” Again, I am not confident in the people running this.

lisad

I really want this box but Only if everyone receives the same items and value.

barbara

I contacted them and asked this question…this is their answer “Right now we are trying to place the same things in each box until they are sold out. Based on the fact that they are all handmade products and have an exclusive collaboration all parcels are limited editions”
“The next parcel vol.2 which arrives 1st week of December will have a different region of Greece with different products”

lisad

I take that to mean they are not sending boxes that are not equal. Anyone else weight in? I may try this one out….

Stephanie

This has to be an Ouiplease sister company!! It’s like seeing déjà eu with the wording and all. So I’m not jumping on this one quite yet

Barbara

Except it is more expensive. Oui Please yearly sub is $650 (with 20% code $520)….this sub is $799 (with 20% code $639)…..Not really sure I want to take a chance. $639 is a lot for a new sub with no real spoilers. At least for OuiPlease if I don’t LOVE the box it was only $86. But $106 on a new box…just not sure!

Adele

I don’t think my comment from earlier posted. I asked Oui Please about it when the box first popped up and they said it’s not affiliated with them. Oui Please had also said on MUT it’s not theirs. It bothers me they ripped off the Oui Please website, but I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in the box.

somanyboxessolittletime

Same. I just posted this. I don’t see my comment yet.

Adele

I checked with Oui Please when this box first popped up and they said they are not affiliated. It does bug me that Ellada Lane ripped off their website, but I do love Greece and look forward to seeing Liz’s review.

Mickey

I know we don’t have any spoilers yet but I love the concept and the first box theme so I signed up for the annual subscription with the coupon code! I hope it doesn’t end up being a bust! I was on the fence about getting Ouiplease for a while now but their boxes interest me less and less. This seems like it could be a fun box with the same allure.

chris

Excited to see what will be in this subscription box!

Mailbox Junkie

Yes! So happy you are going to review!! The spoilers look so promising!! Do you know if they boxes are going to be the same for everyone?

Liz Cadman

I don’t know. I’ll reach out and ask!

Barbara

Liz…can you also ask what the value of the box we receive should be? I don’t see that listed.

lisad

Thanks, i was wondering the same thing.

Barbara

Does anyone know if you go month to month…will the 20% apply to all the boxes you receive or just the first box?

Caroline

Great question I’d like to know as well (Liz) 😉
