I ordered a Beauty and Fashion Box for customer and as of today it is still showing as in “Processing.” I contacted CS and they replied they would be getting back with me yesterday. I am so perturbed and frustrated with PSMH. I ordered my Cozy Home box and after multiple complaints and contacting them about not receiving it as promised for Christmas finally received it after a “replacement” was sent out on Christmas Eve. Now I wonder if I will receive the Fashion and Beauty box at all with the boutique sale going on. They planned poorly for the sale and the delivery from their warehouses. Has anyone else had this issue?

Did you get your fashion and beauty box? Mine had been processing since the 20th. I’m sending CS a message right now.

I ordered a home and fashion box. The fashion arrived, but the home hasn’t even been given to FedEx yet. It has said label created since 12/13, I’m very frustrated.

The mystery home box I sent as a present did arrive in a timely fashion; ordered 12/15, arrived 12/23. The problem I have is that they aren’t providing the message which was included in the order form. If I hadn’t told another family member about sending the box, they wouldn’t have had a clue as to who it was from.
I also don’t know if they got the home box, or the fashion box.

I should’ve known better. I ordered 3 of the home boxes to gift for Christmas and the package was due to be delivered 12/23. I just checked the status and now, it won’t arrive until 12/28.
I think Popsugar overwhelmed themselves with so many different deals since Black Friday that they are not able to meet their obligations. I’m sure lots of people will be very disappointed with their undelivered gifts.
There goes the Christmas spirit.

I completely agree! I ordered a box for a gift 12 days ago and have contacted customer service, only to be told in a cheery tone that if it doesn’t arrive by Christmas Eve, email for a special surprise. Had to go out in the madness and buy another gift. I think it’s bad business to guarantee something without following through.

I ordered two mystery boxes, one of each on the 14th and one is arriving on the 27th and the other is not even accepted by fed ex yet :'( so much for by Christmas! They sent out an email after I ordered that I had time to get Christmas delivery 🙁 anyone else have this problem?

I understood that any orders placed by the 17th would arrive by Christmas, so I ordered on the 16th and it hasn’t shipped yet… I came on here to see if there was another update…

I just got my pop sugar home mystery box. I got 12 items! That is $2.08 per item.
I received:
1. Pehr Burgundy/ivory table runner
2. Oogies toffee butter popcorn
3. My cup of cocoa dark drinking chocolate
4. Flint retractable lint roller
5. Baublebar snowfall necklace ( The one in the December must have box)
6. Jotblock notepad and pen
7. Ridleys Games Room “who am I” game
8. The round wire bowl
9. HB striped umbrella
10. Festive rubber stamp set
11. Meri Meri 24 piece gold and silver star party picks
12. Meri Meri mini star garland
I LOVE it. Now I have tons of things for stockings, extra little gifts and I sooo wanted another of those wire bowls. I have a very long table and I’m going to use both of them filled up with pinecones and greens. Some of the items I received were duplicates and some were not. I am very pleased. I would have been happy with just the wire bowl!
Now if you will excuse me I’m going to have some toffee butter popcorn for dinner!

Apparently the CS person who reads emails about our accounts does not read the entire email. I asked about 2 boxes I have purchased and when I would receive the tracking and got a response the day that I had received my December box but alas, still no information regarding my Mystery box. I hope I get it before Christmas.

My mystery home box will be here tomorrow and it’s 6.5 pounds!

Just got info today that my box just shipped by SmartPost–even though they sent me an email yesterday stating it would be shipped ground. I’ll have to wait until the shipping information updates to find out whether they kept their promise or not.

Omg same here! I emailed customer service because I’m really getting fed up with them. I had an issue with the shipment of my limited edition box that was poorly handled so this is like adding fuel to my fire lol.

Both my His & Hers LE boxes were damaged. Not the the outer box, the LE box itself. Outrageous.

Just got an email from PS. My home mystery box is shipping today from NY and will be delivered tomorrow. One day shipping!
The tracking number isn’t in my account, just in the email.

I checked my spam folder…no email. Very frustrating. My vacation box still says “processing”….well, at least I wasn’t planning on gifting anything. (I’m going to Hawaii in January, so hopefully some of it will be useful…do you think the hotel would mind if I float the swan in the pool??)

I ordered a Gilt city box and the Home Mystery Box. I’ve received no emails about either one. 🙁

It’s kind of annoying because I was planning to use some stuff for gifts for people at work, secret santa, etc. Guess I’ll save!

I ordered some boxes through Gilt and a home mystery box and LE box directly from Popsugar and I don’t remember seeing any emails either, but if you log into your Popsugar account and look at past orders it should tell you if they are processing or a tracking number. I’ve recieved the LE box and the October box from Gilt, the November box from Gilt has shipped and is on its way but my home mystery box is still processing…

Google the following, and there is a SPOILER pic and description for the Ultimate Vacation mystery box (don’t know if this is the only variation…):

I saw that, mine says 4.2 pounds, those don’t seem to weigh that much. I bought 3 CFDAs, planning on giving 2 of those lem lem away and using one as a travel sleep shirt since it is so thin and light, now one more. Sigh

I KNEW that swan would be there! I saw nothing I’d have wanted. Glad didn’t buy 🙂

Someone posted a photo spoiler of the vacation box last night in the Forum on this site. I am a little bummed with the contents… Not what I was hoping.

Me too 🙁
But I suppose if you distribute / work out a price per item, then it is not so bad, particularly if you like the main item (which I’m not sure yet if I do — would have to see it in person)…

I just emailed them as well. I purchased all three and am showing one shipped. The Fashion and Beauty one has been at Fed-Ex and has sat without moving for over 30 hours. I do not show either of the other two as even having a label created for them. I really hope Fed-Ex didn’t lose the one in their warehouse. If they did, then I just hope Popsugar does something to replace it. Come on Sunnies!

I ordered the December box (got if free with promotion) and the November box, and something else, I can’t even remember at this point, so it will be a surprise to me! Only one item is marked as shipped and is in transit, and in fact, it was supposed to arrive tomorrow but it’s now supposedly going to arrive on December 20th. I placed the order on November 28th, thinking it would arrive in time to gift to someone I was going to see, but that did not happen. I fear everything will come too late! December 24 delivery isn’t great for me because I won’t see my gift recipients then. Oh well 🙂 At least the prices were good.

My fashion/beauty mystery box is on it’s way, and is supposed to be here on Friday. The package supposedly weighs 3.2 lbs. Hoping there’s no hat involved (even though there probably is).

One of my beauty mystery box’s is 4.10 lbs. arriving Monday….hope it’s good! No tracking for the second one I ordered yet or for the vacation box either. I was hoping get these all in time to sort, wrap, and gift for the holiday parties I’m attending. Just don’t think it’ll happen now. Bummer.

My fashion and beauty box weighs 3.3 lbs and dimensions are 14x11x5. I have a feeling the cozy home mystery box is the october box with the hot chocolate and mug. That one is selling on gilt and is titled cozy home box.
Reply

I worried about the Home Mystery box just being the same as the October box since I ordered both of them, but I’ve already received the October box (ordered through Gilt but shipped direct from PopSugar) and my Mystery box has not been shipped yet. So if they are truly the same it seems like they’d be able to ship them out at the same time….so now I’m thinking there may be some overlap, but there has to be something different about them too…. For reference, I also ordered the November box (the onther “homey” box) through Gilt and that one has also been shipped and due to arrive by Friday.

There could be a hat … that weight is a little light. Either that or the dreaded bingo game, right?

I got that dumb hat. Now I have 2 hats I will never wear.

I ordered the Home and the Vacation boxes. I got shipping info yesterday, FedEx Ground, for the Vacation box. It says it’ll arrive Thursday however it’s still in CA and I am all way in IN, so we’ll see…
I got the above email this evening too, I guess, for the Home box…

Liz, is there any chance they’ll cough up some spoilers before we get the boxes? Dying to know what I’m getting!

I got the mystery fashion box and the gilt city (should be guilt city). My popsugar addiction is really out of control. I don’t even care when they arrive, so much as what is in them. Someone should start a virtual subscription box. Then I could pay fake dollars and have fake items appear in an account. Then spend hours compare what it’s my account with other people. Maybe this could be connected with minecraft or pokemon go. I can see myself now hatching a 10k egg into a tassel bracelet.

I love you. Hatching the 10k egg — too funny. We would be friends irl.

This is why I don’t order PopSugar around Christmas anymore. They always “upgrade” to FedEx ground, and FedEx leaves it tied to my mailbox, 900 feet from my house, after I’ve left town for the holidays, and I come back to a clear (empty) plastic bag tied around my mailbox.

The last time I ordered 2 dog beds and FedEx delivers early in the morning but my sitter does not come until dinner time, so I went into my FedEx account and put it on hold, and picked them up after my vacation. It worked really well.

How do we know if we get a surprise extra item since we don’t know what is in the boxes to start with?!

Lol, good point. And whomps! Mine is en route and due to arrive on Friday. This is a gift for myself, lol. I would have rather waited and got an extra item. On the bright side, a colleague gave away the September hat today, which I didn’t think I liked but I do! But I suspect it will be in my box too.

My guess on the bonus item: the swan drink rooted. It has not yet reared its inflatable head. Seriously. If you had a free bonus item, what would it be-within reason?

It would be the hat or the dreaded bingo game!

I didn’t order a mystery box but how awesome would that swan be for the office white elephant gift exchange!

I ordered the vacation and fashion beauty box the first day. Both shipped today via FedEx ground, I am in Texas and both will get here Friday. I am shopping for bday gifts next year and really need to know what is in those boxes to see if I need to buy more from gilt city. I am a subscriber and have bought every LE except the NM. Cannot wait.

both of mine are 4.2 pounds
