Oui Please Volume 1.6 Box Spoilers + Coupon!

So, I purchased the annual subscription last January and only received 4 boxes.
1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
Isn’t the annual subscription 6 boxes? They tried to charge my credit card again for an auto renew of the annual subscription and thankfully my credit card didn’t work, I cannot commit to a company again that still owes me two more boxes. I contacted them to see if and when I am getting the 1.6 box. I have not received a response nor have I received a shipping notice.
I have loved all of my boxes from OuiPlease, but feel very frustrated by this.

If there is no mention of the 1951 Maison Francaise clutch in any part of the booklet accompanying the box; and they only list the card case, then i think they are not including clutches in the box only. if this is the case then it is a blatant bait and switch from the spoiler they had on 12/18.

Oops, I forgot to put the RV as stated by Oui Please on my invoice.

ALSO, a big THANK YOU to Liz for the coupon. I would not have tried the box without one, so would now not have a regular subscription with Oui Please.

Total RV of my box contents as stated by Oui Please is $352.
Broken down as they have the items listed on my invoice:

Harem Des Sens $30
Mirgiole Earrings $60
Histories de Parfums $40
Tassia Canellis bracelet $50
LeBon toothpaste $17
Atelier Cologne $25
Petite Parisienne $30
L’Attelier Chocolate Disk $25
L’Attelier Walnuts $15
1951 Small $60

Total for 10 items: $352

If they are going to use the Paris subway tragedy as a reason for the box being 2 months late, do we get to pay less because of the strong dollar against the Euro? Someone should ask them.

I received my 1.6 “White Winters In the Alps” box today.
This is my first Oui Please box, and I had really expected to cancel after the first one. Nix that, I’m keeping this subscription! I LOVE my box, although it did have a ” Christmas feeling” to it, which is not strange, considering that it was supposed to ship out in December.

I got the following:
1) Tassia Canellis bracelet in gold with a pearl. It’s very dainty and goes extremely well with my right hand jewelry. Mine was in a teeny red velvet- like pouch and arrived in the pouch but very tangled, so it is easy to miss this.
2) Mirgiole triangle earrings. Very pretty and well made.
3) Maison Francaise 1951 spotted animal print hair calf card holder. ( Leopard, cheetah, one of those cat prints).
4) Harem Des Sens Fabulous Silk Milk
5) 1876 fem. chypre fragrance
6) Lebon cinnamon toothpaste ( my least fav. thing in box)
7) Petite Parisianne Candle in Epices de Noel fragrance- very holiday scent.
8) L’altelier Chocolate Caramels- very pretty in the jar, would have been a nice stocking stuffer for a foodie.
9) ” ” Caramelized Macadamia Nuts- very pretty in the jar and would have made a nice little stocking stuffer for a male or female.

I followed the booklet pages when listing these items as I cannot spell French words well at all. I would have swapped the very expensive toothpaste for one of the overload of lotions sent in last box, for sure.

There was NO mention of the 1951 Maison Francaise clutch in any part of the booklet accompanying my box. Only the card case, which I don’t use. I was really hoping for the clutch, but I’m not entirely sure how many were shipped, or if they sent any more out.

Finally! Just got a shipping notice! The box has been picked up by FedEx. I was starting to think it was never coming…

Has anyone received their December Oui please box yet?

I just received an email response and they said they were shipping later this week and into next week. ??

I like the mix of items but I really hope that they keep track of who they are giving the hero items to and who they are not. I thought I read somewhere awhile back that they were tracking it to ensure that people who miss out one round will get it another time.

What bothers me is that the boxes that have the hero item usually seem to have extra items that are already on the high end of the box value then plus the hero items that make it really skewed so folks who get the bare minimum feel extremely slighted.

So the only thing this sub does on time is charge. That’s interesting! I don’t get the discrepancies though … How do they decide who gets what? I know my box was pretty disappointing last time.

I was upset when I heard OP was charging $45 to cancel!
I emailed right away to make sure this wouldn’t happen to me.
They said only if I am charged and want a refund, not just to cancel.
Of course I asked about the remaining boxes on my account and they said even if I cancelled to not be charged I would still receive all boxes I paid for. I love this box and can’t wait to get 1.6!

Does anyone know when the next box, V1.6, is shipping?
they are super late with this box

I sent them an email saying that I wanted to end my yearly subscription a few months ago. I had been unable to get into my account. A few weeks ago I received an email stating that I was going to be charged the yearly rate again. I was really tired of how late the boxes were sent out and I had thought they had really gone downhill. They then charged my credit card company but then reversed the charges after I sent them another email and billed me $45. At this point, I don’t even care because I want to be done with them. I do think it’s odd that they tried to charge me for another year when I have yet to receive six boxes.

I have such mixed views of this box. I loved 1.5 but there’s so much that doesn’t quite feel right and yet I keep subscribing because the box has a certain je ne sais quoi.
Having said that, I have just been charged $150 for my next box 1.7 which has me severely ticked off as I have not yet received 1.6.

I really enjoy the variation – I find it fun to see what I’m going to get. BUT all boxes should ABSOLUTELY be of the same value. And they should all include at least one high value/exciting item.

This is problem that I have with this box. I appreciate that they’ve made an effort to improve by ensuring that everyone will get one or two specific thing or brands. But they really REALLY need to address the value issue.

Personally, I’ve bought three boxes from them, the Mother’s Day box, 1.4, and 1.5. The Mother’s Day box was good, but not great. I was satisfied. 1.4 was a nightmare; I didn’t use a single item from it (except the box. Love those boxes.) 1.5 was pretty great. It could have been better, but not by much. So my experience has been really varied.

Meanwhile, does ANYONE actually like getting perfume in these boxes?

I received 2 boxes from Oui Please, and I was satisfied both times, I received the Tee and beach towel from the 1.4 box and a monogrammed scarf from 1.5 box. But I have found that doing a curated box this past November worked for me much better ( I really wanted a clutch) and the coupon code OUINOEL worked great. I got the Luxor February box instead of re-upping for this one. Although, I think I might use that code again and do a 1 month. HMMMM What to do!

I agree with most of the comments below. I have been a subscriber since the launch and all my boxes have been on the lower end of the value. I have NEVER received any of the leather bags; since they are including them again in the next box I would hope that they are keeping track of who has not yet received one. I agree that this does feel like a bit or bait and switch, which is unfortunate since we all paid good money for this box. I want to stay positive but if the next box is not great I will not renew my subscription.

Does anyone know if this auto-renews after the 6th box?

I love the French themed boxes. Getting products that are not readily available here at a discount is always great. But…this one is not going to get my money. I know some of the boxes I get give variations, but none like this one. It seems too bait and switch to me. I think values at least need to be the same, but it doesn’t seem like that’s even happening here.

I usually try to stick to the positive with my comments, but I do have a funny feeling about this subscription box. They indicate the boxes have some variation but actually it feels more like a very calculated bait and switch. They show spoilers of all the higher end items. But a minority of people actually receive the big ticket items, just enough to justify the pre-sale advertising. I am a big luxury box girl–but my experiences have left me feeling unsettled. I would not be able to recommend this sub to others until there is more transparency on how the company is fulfilling current subscriptions. This was actually very hard for me to write — like I said I really like to stay positive.

This will be my second box (I caved and purchased the annual subscription) and my first box was terrible. My items were ALL on the lower end and it was annoying to see all the boxes with monogrammed scarves. I don’t mind that there’s such a huge variation in items, it’s the value differences that infuriate me. I suppose our sub money is what funds Oui Pleases’ lifestyle in France. Unless my boxes improve I certainly won’t sub again

I don’t sub anymore as I had horrible experiences with the first few boxes. But here’s a question – what is “the other side” of the 1951 bag? I don’t see anything shown that would be comparable to NOT getting the bag. way too much random variability. I would stick with Luxe Provence (if they didn’t stick me with DHL customs costs!)

I know I am in the Minority but I really like the variations per box. This is and has always been my favorite box. I appreciate all the different items I have been introduced to and some of my favorite items are from OuiPlease boxes.

I hate the “lottery” style of this box. This will be my first out please. I decided to try it after seeing the spoilers on Facebook. If I get a not so great box…it will be my last Oui Please. It’s too much $ for me to “wait out” getting a fabulous scarf of clutch. I’ll stick to Luxor and Rachel Zoe.

I love the French theme of the Oui Please box but I’m glad I’ve never subscribed. It seems to repeat brands a lot. The jewelry is odd and always gold tone. A clutch isn’t practical most of the time. I would love to shop in Paris some day but I wouldn’t be buying anything like this. Just me, I guess.

I want this box, I’ve gotten one before (either the spring or summer ) and it was mostly products. If rather have more items like these shown in the spoilers. And I would love that bag! I’m trying to buy less boxes, so I’m not sure yet

And I don’t get the theme either

They always have the most beautiful spoilers then send out almost none of it. I will not be sucked in! I love the spoilers but I KNOW better.
