Any box that arrives during the estimated time frame. Ordered the cozy chic box from the Gilt City deal. They told me via email that the box had shipped and would arrive by this past Wednesday. But the tracking number was stuck in Indiana for a very long time. And surprise, surprise, I now just received a text from USPS saying the new EST is after xmas.

My favorite box was December. I liked every item which is rare for me. My favorite single item was that purple/wood paddle thing from the April box. I put it in my bathroom. I had nothing purple in there, but since then I have slowly added things in the same color. It has shaped the decor in my bathroom a bit.

BUYER BEWARE
Purchased on Dec 13th and received confirmations about shipping labels. Notice others having issues so I wrote to the company and received notice i will be getting a refund for the Must Have box. Suggest you never rely on this company for any of the items. Their growth has exceeded their capabilities. Much better service/products can be had else where.

January and December! (P.S. PopSugar – if you are reading this, I need another yearly calendar for my desk for 2018! My desk will be so lonely without it!)

I desperately want a December box. Will pay for box + shipping. Popsugar allowed me to order the box and even pick out the silver necklace. Now, I’m told they are sold out. I’m truly crushed. I even have a screenshot of my order where it says December is my first box and I selected the silver necklace.

Amanda,
Have you reached out to CS? I have been told in the past that if I had a screenshot they could do something about it….so I suggest that you email them and include that. In my experience their CS has always been helpful and went above and beyond.

Hi Kelli,
Yes, I contacted customer service numerous times and included the screenshot with “my first box: December” and the silver necklace showing where I picked that. I also sent the screenshot where FB messenger Popsugar rep guaranteed December as my first box before placing my order. They changed my account to January as my first box, no announcement. Only reason I received any communication is because I have been to their butts that I should received December as my first box since that’s what I ordered and have proof with the screenshots. I was told I could get a refund or a January’s box by Ann or Andy and I said I did not find that acceptable. They need to try harder. I don’t have $ to get reoccurring subs like this one. It took me a week just to get the $ for this and quite some time to get a prepaid card in my name. All for this box. I asked for a supervisor, but since then this is through email, I am at a loss. I am very polite, but I do not have the kind of $ to just have a $40 reoccuring sub. I did everything in my power before ordering to guarantee it would be December, and I think a screenshot should be more than enough proof. This was my one and only purchase for the holidays. It was for myself and my mother since I’m without income, waiting on my disability. It’s got my crying all over again.

Do you have any ability to help me in this situation where I ordered the December box, have proof that I ordered it, and I’m now being sold out.

December by far. I ordered it on 12/15, and now I’m being told they are sold out. I want to buy a December box from someone please! Popsugar even let me pick out the silver necklace when ordering so I’m really really upset. Someone has a Dec box up on eBay for over $200. This was a present to myself and I don’t have lots of money.

1st place – April — cutting board and terrarium kit ( both unexpected for me but I really enjoy them– )
2nd place- October — Pillow and blanket set, shower gel (awesome) , and the free samples of coffee.

Aug for sure but I haven’t received my Dec yet and it looks great. I love the tray from Aug and actually got two Aug boxes. I’m using one tray on my night stand to mange all my lotions, lips balms, reading glasses, etc. i have the other tray in my bathroom with my collection of face oils and serums.

July and August. Then I cancelled after subbing for 4 years in September. The best boxes were from the previous years imo

I liked February and use that clutch for my few dressy occasions, but December is the bestest PS box ever.

DECEMBER! Of the Must Haves, it’s the only one I ordered & I don’t regret it. Just got it on Friday & it’s FAB.
Out of all the items, only swapping 2 – that’s pretty good for me!

December for sure! My favorite items were probably the towels, both the Turkish one and the yoga one….but maybe those are tied with the Lalicious sugar scrub which is super useful for me, with this month’s scarf being an honorable mention!

April! I kept everything myself for once! And the crystal terrarium was my absolute favorite item, I actually swapped for a couple more as gifts so we could have a girls’ night and make them together!

October by a long shot. I really loved the turkish towel though. That was my fav item in the boxes.
HATED Novemeber. ugh. There was literally nothing in that box but brozer that was usful.

April was my favorite overall box, but my favorite item was the pink wallet from August.

This is a hard question because there was usually at least one good product in each box I received. (I didn’t receive September or November.) However, December is first place with the necklace, the scarf, the Lalicous & those really pretty coasters. Who would’ve know that I’d like those coasters so much. 2nd place is probably April. I loved the products in the box including the floss & the toothpaste. 3rd, maybe Febrary. Loved the bag, the necklace, and the Juara cream is fantastic.

April and December! Maybe August. I actually loved the crystal terrarium. December was the best overall box. Although the tray from August turned out more useful than expected.
