Just got both Nina Garcia boxes today and I LOVE them! I am so excited to have been able to get them at a discount. All the products are great (a few I already love like the redken products). And I especially love the bag and beanie. Not thrilled with the earrings (mine were really old style w/pearls, antique gold and a green stone). But, I’m sure I’ll bring them out over Christmas to brighten up an outfit.

I ordered the Nina winter and the Nina hair boxe, and just received them both today. I hadn’t received any shipping notifications from quarterly so was starting to get concerned, but they both showed up today. Half off is a great deal for these boxes.

FYI I ordered the Nina Garcia hair box and just got an email today that they oversold the box and they are giving me a refund. I ordered it the same day the sale came out so I’m not sure how they oversold it. Maybe I waited too long but if anyone hasn’t gotten their shipping confirmation I would check with them to make sure they are still sending it.

This happened to me too. Bummer! I also ordered on Day 1 and got an order confirmation. I ordered a total of 5 boxes and after waiting a week for some sort of shipping confirmation, I emailed. Finally they got back to me and told me they had oversold this box (they refunded me) and the rest would ship today or tomorrow. There were a couple of products I was really looking forward to trying.

This happened to me too but I didn’t even get an email, I finally emailed them asking where my boxes were and they wrote back saying oversold….and I purchased the first day of the sale in the morning 🙁

Does anyone have any idea how long these usually take to ship? Seems to me they would ship quickly since they are basically “leftovers”! No shipping confirmation yet though and I ordered on the 2nd.

I had the same problem with the shipping notifications for the Nina hair box. I never got one, so I finally emailed them today. They replied and gave me the tracking number–it’s being delivered tomorrow!!! I am so excited! I am a total hair care junkie and have been praying this box would go on sale since the original review. Thanks Liz! 🙂

I was actually wondering the same thing…. Does anyone know a projected timeline for shipment? Or have you had past experiences with Best of Quarterly boxes? I also ordered the Nina Garcia hair box, so I’m wondering if the seemingly delayed shipments are due to overselling the box.

So, I placed two orders (was trying to be restrained and then gave in later in the day) and I contacted customer service yesterday when I hadn’t received any shipping notices.
They sent me tracking numbers and it looks like the order I placed Friday morning shipped on Tuesday and the order I placed Friday afternoon had a label created on Thursday, but it hadn’t gone anywhere yet.
Last time I ordered from BOQ I did get a shipping notice (4 days after the purchase) so I don’t know what was up with them not doing them this time around.

Just heard back…they oversold on the hair box and issued me a refund plus a 5 buck inconvenience fee, great customer service but I’m still sad. The other box should arrive bf the 15th tho…

I was about to post an identical comment…you beat me to it!! Every day I keep expecting a tracking number. I ordered both NG boxes & leave for Europe in a week, was hoping to have fabulous hair, a cute purse and new earrings to take with me. I’m going to contact CS, if I hear back I’ll post a reply

I decided to get the gaming box even though I probably wouldn’t call it a gaming box personally — more like a tech box, but whatever. The bluetooth head phones have good reviews and *can* be used wired as well. I’m always looking for better bluetooth headphones but they are so expensive. And I can always use smartphone gloves, especially if the whole glove works on your screens!
I also got the Nina Garcia winter box — I just really like those earrings and most of the ones on that brand’s site, so I think I have good chances to get a pair I like. I might wear the hat, and the sweater comb has great reviews should I get around to using it.
I’ll probably sell/swap the fringe bag, face oil (not the best reviews on MakeupAlley and I have others already), nail polish, and add-on microphone from the gamer box and end up with a decent percent of my money back. I wanted the Thrive membership from the other box, but couldn’t really justify it …plus it sold out anyway. Maybe I’ll be able to swap for it. Sorry for the long post, guess I’m excited!

Are there any coupons that work on these? Hoping to at least get out of the $8 shipping charge 😀

I really like Nina’s boxes so I had to get both! Great for splitting it up into gifts for my girlfriends! Now just patiently waiting for her next box to ship..

The Nina hair box is a great deal— but I have a pixie cut so wouldn’t use. The other Nina box is waaay too young for me.
Sadly, neither Ariana box seems even worth the money. One is bath salts, a journal, and mala beads (though I love mala beads– but that all isn’t worth $50 to me), and the other has literally nothing I would want.
Argh, maybe xmas gifts for grown sons (18 & 21)? Maybe the GQ one for the vain son and either wil’s box or the gamer box for my gamer son? Has anyone gotten any of those boxes?

Okay so I went back and ordered a 2nd box, the Arianna Huffington box. I’m so excited I got the Nina Garcia and this one, $100 for both!!

I have been waiting to see if the Nina haircare box would go on sale since I read Liz’s review so I jumped on that right away. Now I kinda wish id gone for the Ari box with Thrive and the sleep aid too. So tempted!

Does anyone know if quarterly.co typically excludes the gift cards in boxes if they are placed on sale? Or does anyone remember when the $25 giftcard to Thrive Market expires? The main reason I’m looking at the Arianna Huffington box is the membership + gift card to thrive market. 🙂

I bought one of the Mizzfit boxes on sale a while ago. There was a coupon code in there that had expired. I reached out to them and they gave me a partial refund…

The current box listing has the membership but not the gift card, so I’m assuming that has expired/been removed.

thanks for the heads up Liz!! I just bought 4 – a few things for me and a few things for Christmas gifts! Early start on my shopping 🙂 1 each of Arianna Huffington’s (perfect to add to gift baskets!), 1 kevin rose (great gifts for the men!) andddd the nina garcia hair box for me 😉 – so excited! Was super tempted to get the winter box from nina as well, but stopped myself.

Oh sure, I FINALLY manage to swap for the brush and now the whole box is 50% off! DANGIT!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I got the Nina Garcia hair care box, Ive been eying it for a while now!

I thought I didn’t need any of these until I rered your review of the hair care box. I wanted the hairpiece and brush, but didn’t NEED them, but I think I need that elasticer and that is half the price fo the box, so the brush, hairpiece, and masks are easily worth the other half.

I had to get the Nina hair box. I’d been eyeing it on the best of, and I am a hair product addict… how could someone like me pass up that box for $50??

I ordered the nina garcia and ariana huffington (the one w/ the thrive market code) now I wait for my husband to call when he gets the charge notification : / so bad when I just took advantage of the vaute couture sale and got myself a $300 jacket (but it’s worth over 500)

I’m really wondering why so many people would pay full price for these boxes when there is a good chance it will be available for 1/2 price later! I’m clearly not the audience for most of these boxes though as I’m not really interested in them at 50% off… maybe the Nina Garcia hair box but I already have a big stockpile of hair products that I need to use up! 🙂

I got two of last year’s winter Nina Garcia boxes. The crossbody bag has grown on me over the year and I regret swapping mine. The other items will all make good Xmas gifts for friends & family or swap well.

Me too! I liked the bag and the earrings at half price it is more worth the money!

I picked up the Kevin Rose and the Arianna Huffington. Seems like a good value for $50 each. I’ll save most of the Roses items for Christmas.
