I got my box today. Very underwhelmed. The past summer boxes looked so nice. Mine is even MISSING the canteen bottle.
And the fact that they waited until the MIDDLE of summer to send is really annoying. FabFitFun sends their summer box at the beginning of summer, you know, so it can be used for summer. I don’t know about you guys but by the end of June I’ve already bought any items I want for summer.

My last LE box was the really horrible Resort box. I’m done with wasting money on their LE boxes.

I received my ( big! ) Popsugar Summer box a few days ago and I totally pleased with everything! I definitely will be using all the items I received. Wasnt sure about the *candy* but oh yeah, they are tasty ( and cute ).

I love the towel best of all!!!!
I took it out of the box when it arrived and I have used it for a pillow, a blanket and everything in between!
It is the main thing that I thought I would be getting rid of.

Does anyone want to sell theirs?

I received my box yesterday. I must say I love everything. The tote is huge and will hold everything you need for a day at the beach. The towel is beautiful, much nicer than the add-on in FFF. I may be in the minority but I love face sprays. So refreshing. I can never have enough water bottles. Glad I got the box.

I am in the group of people who thinks that there should be a piece of jewelry in this box! I am in love with the towel (after I got my box), not so much for the Tote bag. I have the Tote bag on swap site, but I have not had very many people request it! Very surprised after all of the talk on here… I like everything else!

Just got my box yesterday and I’m really happy. Am I totally “wowed”? well…not really, but It is a great box and I will use EVERYTHING. The straw tote is really beautiful and BIG. I originally ordered the box because of the towel, and it is beautiful. Right there, these two items make the whole box worth it. I was actually going to order a corkcicle bottle—so imagine my surprise to see it in the box!!!! The nail polish is a perfect shade for summer–and I am a huge royal fan, so I love the name of the polish. I’ve never used face mist, but from the comments on here, I’m excited to try it! The ice cream gummies are cute and will definitely be eaten by my kids. All in all, I am happy with my purchase. Wish there was a piece of jewelry or sunnies in there, but I don’t regret purchasing. Also, for people asking about the weight. It is BIG BOX…much bigger than past boxes, which is probably why.

I’m pretty happy with this box. It’s one of the first ones in awhile where I will use everything. I LOVE the towel. I cannot wait to bring it to the beach. Sadly, that won’t be until next weekend. But it’s all washed and dried and ready to go. The bag is a good size but a bit flimsier than I would like. The nail polish is a bit lighter in person than in the picture but it’s still really nice. I didn’t really need the bottle, but it’ll be good for the beach. The face spray is fine–not overly exciting but I’ll use it. It’s refreshing. My only beef is that the size of the box of gummies seemed a little stingy to me. A larger amount of candy and/or one more item would have moved this box from pretty good to amazing.

Sarah

I agree….bigger candy and one more item (jewelry), would have made this box perfect.

Did anyone else get a vague email from Popsugar about warehouse shipment delays & an extra gift?

Reply ButtonReply

Janet

I got the email, but no “extra” in my box, so I emailed them yesterday to ask. They responded this morning, saying the “extra” will be coming in a separate shipment. I’m totally good with that…they responded in less than 24 hours, and I’m getting a goody I wasn’t expecting…yippee! Unlike some others on here that got the email, though, I have now already received my box. If I hadn’t, I’d probably be a bit frustrated… Of course, who knows for sure if an “extra” will actually arrive…

Reply ButtonReply

Randi

I got that email on Friday too – I sent them a message on Wednesday about my box still being in the “label created” stage… they responded that they were checking on it and hopefully it would ship early this week. Then a little bit later the email about warehouse delays and an extra gift came…
so I’m assuming that they’re sending something extra to those whose boxes are still waiting to actually ship out (as of right now, mine is still at “label created”) since we’re at 10 days past the promised ship date right now. I don’t think there’s anything missing from the picture, its just that there’s obviously some issue at the warehouse that is really delaying the shipment of some boxes.

I think its a nice touch by PS to do this, especially since it sounds like some people haven’t even contacted them about the delay yet, but are still getting an “extra gift”

Reply ButtonReply

Janet

Yep, I got the email as well. Very strange in that the email subject was “update regarding your replacement items.” Then the vague “enjoy your extra gift” wording. Hmmm. I’d really just like my box, thanks! I live less than an hour’s drive from the CA location they ship from…so not sure why the delay, especially when it sounds like some folks on the East Coast have gotten theirs already!

Sarah

I thought so also! I purchased mine in presale & my box still hasn’t moved at all ? Still just label created. I hadn’t emailed a complaint but it is disappointing. Hopefully we get some sunnies or a hat ? for our patience

Caitlyn

Yup, came on here to see if anyone knew what it was. It said to “enjoy this gift” so I’m assuming there’s a picture missing?

Reply ButtonReply

Sarah

That’s what I was thinking. Let me know if you find out ?

Jodie

I am getting this one, haven’t received it yet in Louisiana either… It’s late for summer but I also just received FabFitFun this week too. I am tired of water bottles, enough already. I hardly even use them.. Only occasionally really. I like face sprays, I’m glad they did not put hair wave spray in, every other box I’ve received did this year. Enough already lol! A hat or piece of jewelry may have been really nice… Idk. It really is a much lower price point than I expected from PSMH for a LeBox

Received mine today! I like it OK, but purchased a round towel add-on from FFF, so have decided to list this in swap or sell on ebay, in case anyone is interested.

Reply ButtonReply

Oops sorry, don’t see my other comment yet hope it shows up. I left out that I made the error of thinking it was the round towels in FFF (probably because of them showing up in a few diff. Subs) my daughter corrected me saying “mom they clearly said throw blankets….not towels”. Boy did she show me, lol. But to me they don’t really feel like a blanket either, more like a table runner or curtain. Nonetheless still good for the grass and easy to launder after.

This towel is an actual towel and way better in my mind. The ones I got from FFF I was disappointed they are not towels however they are useful to lay out on the grass or the beach. Very light weight to take on picnics or lay out to watch the fireworks.

Reply ButtonReply

Jodie

That’s what I was thinking too! I bought one also from FFF to use as a blanket. It didn’t say it was a towel. I’m hoping this one is a towel though

Cheree

This is a towel and not a thin shaw or blanket – it is a real Towel!!
I’m pleased with it!!
But I disappointed with the Tote. .. but that said, it arrived at the same time as the Luxor Summer box…
Might be putting up the Tote bag on swap. Have to think about it over the weekend. I am going to either keep the FFF OR Popsugar. …
FFF is the blue….and I have 2 Standard Poodles that are not fully grown. …. despite how huge one is…
Decisions, decisions. ….. I think it is easier when I worked full time as a supervisor RN… ?

Liz, I recieved my first LE box today. I’m so upset I want to cry ? I emailed them. Do you know how well they work with their customers? Crossing my fingers.

Christina

Update: wow they already responded, they are working on it and will get back to me. Still going to be crossing my fingers but to me that seems like great customer service so far to respond so fast.

Do you mind if I ask what your issue was?

Seems interesting, but how much is it?

Karen

I received an email notifying me the my box is on its way. That was Friday, to this day, the box hasn’t moved. It still states “label created”. Annoying

Reply ButtonReply

Hmm. I have a lot of thoughts.

First: I got my box today- lightning fast considering I live in Boston and considering that SO many people are dealing with shipping issues.

Second: This is the first box since October 2015 that I didn’t look at spoilers because I wanted to be surprised and i wish I had looked at spoilers. The photos are beautiful of the items and I was more excited looking at this page after opening it. Weird.

Third: ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THE FACE MIST AND WATER BOTTLE? We literally just got a face spray IN MAY as well as a water bottle in MAY mini and a water bottle in CFDA! Ugh. I’m really surprised people aren’t more annoyed about this. I know not everyone gets all boxes but a lot of people do. It’s also just a sad thing when you consider that Popsugar is usually very innovative with their curation and….they couldn’t think of two other items for this?? THE SAME items you just sent?

Fourth: I know people are hating on the polish but it’s one of my favorite items. It’s a GORGEOUS color, and it’s the most perfect coral shade I’ve ever seen.

Fifth: The towel and bag are divine. They complement the shades from CFDA, the cover up and sarong from CFDA/June and the hat from Resort very well, so I’m happy to have these items complete the list of beach essentials.

Sixth: The gummies taste like plastic but were a nice idea.

Seventh: Why is the value so low? $250? The past two years were approx $350 I believe. They totally could have (and should have) thrown in a nice piece of jewelry or a summery bronzer or highlighter item.

It’s a nice box. It’s worth the $100 for the towel & bag & polish, but I’m not over the moon for it.

I completely agree with you! And I’m in CT, and I got my box today as well! I’m normally last to receive my box.

KimBos

OMG my box has been delivered! I want to leave work early so I can get it!!!!!!!! I’m with the majority in that I would have loved some sunglasses or a nice piece of jewelry, but I’m still excited for this. I love the towel and the bag. oh, and the water bottle.

Reply ButtonReply

Randi

Really!?!? That’s exciting!
It is good to know that some people are starting to actually receive their boxes… but its frustrating for those stuck with “label created” and absolutely no movement whatsoever for a week now.

* I really am happy for you that you got your box already so you can start enjoying everything 🙂 & kinda hoping there will be some sort of “extra item” included since it just kinda feels like its missing something

Reply ButtonReply

KimBos

No extra item… I was kind of hoping for that too. Oh well… this is my first box and I’m happy with it. But from seeing the past monthly boxes I will probably just stick with the special editions. Plus it seems like you can usually wait for the spoilers on the monthly boxes and then decide whether to buy it.

I hope you get yours soon – I can understand your frustration 🙁

Amy

Something seems missing in this box. I should have gone with the Happy Rebel one in retrospect. Another nail polish and face spray does not excite me. This box is not a total waste of $100 just wish I had opted for Happy Rebel. I think I will try Happy Rebel this fall just for a change of pace.

Love this box! I rarely like the jewelry PS sends so I’m happy there isn’t any. I agree with what others have said about the slow shipping. I did get my June box today and like it better in person than in the spoilers.

Suz

I feel like I’ve been waiting for these spoilers forever and I’m not let down! I’ve been wanting that herbivore spray forever!! I’m so excited! Now if my shipping label would just move past the “created” phase it’s been in for five days and get here already!!

Nice box. If I had the $100 to spare I would be happy with this. Since I don’t I may just pick up the canteen and call it a day!

I have a Corkcicle and I love it. I just poured my water out from Saturday (got busy and forgot to empty it) and it was still cold!

So glad I skipped this box. If they put ANOTHER nail polish in a box I’ll cancel my subscription. Nail polish is way overdone and such a drug store item, I’m sick of them! Huge disappointment. This box was very underwhelming, feel sorry for anyone that dished out $100 for this. No where on earth should a towel cost $74. Really?

Barbara

I really like this box…and.jewelry would have been nice if it came WITHOUT tassels or pom poms!

Sigh, th eonly item I would use is the towel and the rest would have gone up for swap. lol Glad I missed getting this one, even though I really really wanted to get it at the time. lol

It does seem light as far as value, I too say it is a jewelry piece that is lacking.

AS a million other have asked, if there is anyone who wants to swap for the towel let me know.
