GlobeIn January 2017 Box Spoiler #2+ Coupon

I’m pretty ticked, I just received an e-mail that they won’t let me pick the Laundry box. “it’s not an option for this month.” I am able to buy it in the shop so I know they have them. I feel like they are trying to force me to take inferior boxes they want to get rid of. I didn’t really have a huge problem with not receiving the Love box until this very moment now I will not be renewing my subscription.

Releasing new spoilers makes no sense. It’s not that I ” don’t get it” I understand about their inventory issues, it’s their communication that upsets me. I learned about the substitution for last month’s tea cup by reading the forum, I felt like GlobeIn tried to sneak that one in. When they released the theme spoiler for January, their verbiage was that they would most likely sell out of Love boxes and that they can’t guarantee that everyone who subscribes between now and the 15th would get the Love box. That was not a true statement from them since they knew at that time they didn’t even have enough Love boxes for their current subscribers. Why use this box as bait for new people? I thought the sell out issue would only effect new people by their statement, but when I read the forum, I learned that long time subscribers would not be getting Love either, you had to login and see. They should have sent an email when they knew that not everyone would receive the Love box instead of assigning people old boxes that they had skipped. If it wasn’t for the forum I would have just assumed that I was getting Love. Yes, GlobeIn did eventually send out an email after everyone was aware of the situation, but they should have done that at the beginning. And now I feel like I’m going to be punished because i opted to skip the months that I didn’t like, I will forever be moved to the back of the line since I will continue to skip the old boxes that I didn’t want the first time around. I understand that the Love box will be reviewed on this website, and I’m OK with that so everyone sees what’s in it if they ever get the option to pick it, but instead of releasing spoilers, just email the contents of the box to the people who are going to get this box so they can decide if they want it. These spoilers are just going to upset us more.

I have seen that fabric in other boxes. I have a cosmetic bag made from it, so I don’t consider the napkins to be very special or unique. As far as the wine glasses go, I’ve seen just as nice ones at Pier 1. They also have a nice selection of napkins. For the price of this box you can get two wine glasses and two napkins and still have money left. Get a couple of napkin rings or something. And, you can also look at Home Goods, Marshalls, etc for wine glasses and napkins. The only difference is if you feel that you must support Globein. There are however many places to buy responsibly sourced items.

I wonder if they have reversible patterns (which would be great) or just don’t match each other… Hmm.

I choose to view it this way. When the Love box does become available again, at least I’ll know what I am getting. After I see all of the spoilers, I may be thankful I’m not getting this box. I’ve decided I’m going to trying to be positive. If a subscription box causes me stress, I will cancel. The stress I allowed the Winter Adidas Avenue A box to cause me, will not happen again. This is a subscription box. It should be fun and exciting. Just my opinion.

Disappointed that I can’t get this box. 🙁 It is not right that I pay the same and can’t get the box listed for the month, just because I am a newer subscriber. I ended up picking the “thread” box from last year and cancelling the subscription.

When you log on to choose your box, you can hit the green button to select another box, and it will list the options. Love is an option, and underneath it, it says sold out, click here to join the wait list. I guess they will be doing a new box in February and sending spoilers for it next month – when we could also opt to get Love – so maybe they are just following their normal protocol and thinking that if people really really don’t want anything else this month, they can skip it so save the money and then order this in February and March. I don’t know. I know it’s disappointing, the glasses alone are amazing and I want them, but it really does feel like they are doing all they can and it’s a month or two delay, not something we won’t have forever. I have a soft spot for companies like this who are operating on a shoestring and trying to help impoverished.

Not that most of us are going to get this……….

How do I go on the wait list for the Love box? I skipped January as they were going to send the Pamper box.
I’ve looked all around the GlobeIn site and can’t see how to join a waitlist.

And I agree, it’s bad form to continue releasing spoilers for a box that very few will receive.

I think it little bit insensitive to keep releasing the spoilers knowing that most subscribers won’t get the box, especially with so many disappointed customers these spoilers like a joke. Bad business strategy move.

I too am disappointed that I won’t be getting this box. I really like Globe In so I don’t want to slam them here. I do feel like showing these spoilers is a bit like rubbing it in…see what the special people will be getting! I know, sour grapes!!
I guess I am settling for the picnic basket option. I really love those wine glasses though! Hope I can get them in the future

It’s a shame subscribers are being punished yes punished and made to receive old products in place of what everyone should be getting if they don’t have enough for all their subscribers then they should have done something different. If we wanted the products being offered we would have already purchased them or so I would have. I’m not going to by just because. So I cancelled all my subscriptions!

I think they’ve been clear that they will be getting them again and they should be available in February and March. And some people were able to get them, either originally, or off of the wait list. It’s sad to see a small business dedicated to doing good who is trying hard to please people get slammed no matter what they do to ameliorate a month or two inconvenience. No, I don’t work for them, I’m just a person who buys way too many boxes, but I feel badly for them with the constant stream of negativity in these comments! (yes, everyone has a right to their opinion. No, I’m not trying to police yours. I’m just using my personal right to share an opposite opinion on this topic).

I love the spoilers, it’s a shame not everyone will get the box.

Beautiful box – bummer most of us won’t be receiving it. I went ahead and cancelled. I had a three month prepaid, but have had problems with the first two boxes. Even though their customer service has been fantastic throughout all of the troubles, I just didn’t want to “ride it out” and hope for this box, or skip or wait for another one, etc. When I realized that something that was supposed to be joyful was legit stressing me out (I’m looking at you Box of Style, not just Globe in), I figured I should probably take a step back and adjust my priorities!!!

Why do the keep releasing spoilers for a box that is sold out….and even subscribers couldn’t get??? Not really a good move Globein.
