GlobeIn February 2017 Box Theme Spoiler + Coupon

Did they stop emailing customers entirely? I never got a notice that I could pick this month’s theme. It’s just luck that I remembered today to log in and check.

I am not getting the Love box apparently. So I told them to pause my subscription until it became available. I do not want any of the past boxes that I didn’t want the first time around…..

I come to these forums to hear both and good about the sub. I want to know about bad experiences as well as good so I can judge for myself if its worth my money. There are sooo many to pick from it can be overwhelming. I think it is perfectly acceptable to voice your opinion, I want you to.

Would love to resub, but when it’s sold out before anything has really posted you can’t. I don’t need the previous boxes since I already have them. Glad they are growing, but the business can’t keep up 🙁

Hmmm…I seem to prefer the really useful Globe In themes (like Laundry, man I loved that box) to the more whimsical, esoteric themes. I’m leaning toward sticking it out another month to get the Love box, and then taking a break for awhile.

I’m getting the love box this month. This is my last month o a 3 month sub and I will not be resubscribing.

I would like to eventually subscribe to GlobeIn. Thanks to MSA, it’s been one I’ve always looked at and had on my list to get. It’s just the expense is something I cannot give in to yet. I will have to decrease the few I have, and hopefully by November, there will be a black Friday deal I cannot pass up. But I empathize with the people who have been upset with not getting the boxes that have been showcased. Hopefully they will be able to work out the sudden kinks.

This sounds like a great box! ! I think the comments and complaints here are completely understandable however. There have definitely been many issues and it has caused a lot of disappointment on the part of many loyal subscribers.

GlobeIn and Liza do seem to be making sincere steps to improve communication and site issues. While it’s great that are growing at such a fast rate (and providing income to many who desperately need it) some feel they could have implemented a waitlist rather than taking on so many new subscribers that it wasn’t possible to meet the demand.

With that said, GlobeIn continues to offer one of the best boxes on the market with beautiful, unique items that keep us coming back. Liza has reached out to some of us to gather feedback and hopefully address some of our complaints. I appreciate the initiative and trust that eventually things will improve over time.

By the way, a word of warning: My understanding (I could be wrong and feel free to correct me) is that if a subscriber “skips” a month, they lose their rank in the system. I’m not sure whether it moves them to the end of the line or just reduces their months of purchase and other are bumped up – but either way it would be good to clearly communicate this as some may choose to get one of the older boxes to preserve their status rather than skipping. Just my thoughts.

I don’t subscribe to this subscription because I think it’s personally to high for me to pay monthly but Wow the February box sounds like a great month! But I find it weird that they would release the box contains when it is sold out.

A bit of positivity here – I am SO excited for this box. A dream log, tote, and dessert bowl sound wonderful and I can’t wait for more spoilers.

For those of you who are getting January Love boxes, have any of your boxes shipped yet? Just wondering because I am still waiting for mine to ship. Not complaining, just curious.

I skipped last month since Love wasn’t available and I didn’t want a box I already skipped. I just logged into my Globein account and it shows I’m getting Love this month, while it shows Dream as sold out along with most other sold out themes. I’ll probably go ahead and get the Love box, but don’t plan to stick around much longer if things don’t get straightened out. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve picked a basket sub and didn’t get it because it sold out, or had add ons removed for the same reason.

If you already have an account, log in — it tells you which box you’re scheduled to receive. You can’t add on items yet, but you can either confirm you’received already receiving the Dream Box, or what your options are at this time. If you’re not already a subscriber, the point of the above disclaimer is to alert you that the Dream Box will not be available, at this time, and you have the option of choosing from previously offered boxes.

Just like LM above states… this shouldn’t be a surprise for existing customers, as we were told about the sourcing issues back in December. We were also told a new strategy is being but into place, starting in March, in an effort to mitigate demand issues that are tapping out small artisans.

As for the former subscribers — I understand you left the service because you were unhappy with the business decisions (and sourcing realities) of GlobeIn. What I don’t understand is why you’ve made a point of coming back to the spoiler board just to vent your spleen. I read your posts last month, and your displeasure is evident… but why come back just to complain more? Either subscribe and accept the vagaries of small artisan production — and empower them to achieve their dreams and support themselves — or go elsewhere. But please, stop with the pointless complaining (if you jumped ship — you really don’t have a car in this race any more). It’s not going dissuade those of us willing to live with the slings and arrows of business growth… it just feels like sour grapes. Either be a part of the solution or don’t — but stop trying to dampen the excitement of those who want to be a positive part of the system.

This used to be one of my favorite boxes.
Introducing 2 boxes in a row that are sold out before subscribers are even given the chance to choose them has me unsure if I will even renew.

SMH…

So the box isn’t released yet and it’s already sold out? I’m confused on this subscription. All the items look really neat so I was planning on subscribing but how does it work? Will I be picking one of the old boxes as my February box and then I will get the March box once it releases or will I still be a month behind and get the February box in March?

Hm sad the new box is already sold out. I canceled my sub after the last few disappointing boxes and January fiasco. I hope that they work out all their kinks.

If I won’t have option to get love box, I am going to cancel. I don’t want keep spending my money while they fixing their business model.
