Does anyone know if they will add a free mystery bundle for orders over $100 like they did before?

I updated to annual partially for add-ons … but please, don’t get all upset if you can’t get a particular item. FFF often has add-on items on repeat. Some items from Edit sale came to this add-on sale. And, as has been pointed out, you can often get items cheaper from eBay or Amazon or the actual brand site (I got small Bum Bum creams from their website in a bundle, on a great sale!)

Yes, the site is slow in the beginning. Hopefully they will fix this for next time. Also, what they sometimes do is only put a fraction of the inventory items out in the first week, and then they restock with more in second week.

Finally, stalk the site in the last day, particularly the last hours. That is when most of us finalize our carts and a LOT of items drop, get picked up, and drop again.

And remember that for most of us, we don’t know what the add-ons will be, and we don’t really NEED them…and we may even go a little too crazy shopping. Personally I find it fun trying to track down an elusive item, even as I realize it may very well show up in a future sale at a lower price.

Thank you for the tips! I usually buy an add-on because when you do, your box ships sooner.

Ah, that is a good point about buying an add-on to get the box shipped sooner. For the first two or three seasons, I didn’t even look into add-ons and didn’t know what they were! Now my credit card is wishing I’d forget about add-ons, Lol.

I did discover that early on and the last day (really, the last night) are great times to look for add-ons. And I’ve realized that FFF will keep listing items until they are out, so we see the same items either in successive sales or in alternating sales. For example the Juice hydrating mist (I love this stuff) has been in several sales. The Jook LOVE necklace has been in multiple sales too, with price getting reduced over time.

I do love add-ons. I have found some really good products that way. And I’m guilty of going too crazy over items that I didn’t know I had to have until I saw them at 1/3 of cost.

Good luck shopping to all!!

Christine

Odd. Today is the 12th and I logged in to order an add on. It tells me I have to upgrade still to do so.

will there be any more add-ons added?

The FFF subscription scares me…it’s pushed so hard on social media, and the (non cosmetic) stuff seems so cheap. And then when I cancelled, I was pushed really hard by customer service to stay (offering me things, right left and center). So high pressure. It makes me feel like I am being ripped off when that happens…like a used car salesman. But, then I read about these add ons and it seems like there’s good deals to be had. But, meh – I have a lot of other subs that make me pretty happy, so I am happy to sit this one out!

I have several of the face oils in my cart and am going to remove one of them. The retail values seem way overpriced.
Does anyone have a review of the facial oils?

Wow!!! Some angry people. We should remember what this box is called… Fab, Fit, FUN. I couldn’t get on the site for awhile but I think “stalking” the site over the next couple weeks is half the fun. In my experience, the best time to get what you want is not when it opens but when it’s about to end. Filling your cart is fun but paying for it is not. Put what you want in favorites and keep checking. Regarding the ever popular Bum Bum products, I bought the cream once and initially liked it but the scent gave me a migraine. Does the lip product have the same scent? Happy hunting/shopping to everyone!

Reply ButtonReply

Slynne

Idk that I ever have gotten a Bum Bum cream. I really love their lip product! I was able to load up on some the last time they were in add-ons. They are a decent size and they last a while. I agree that the very best time to add items is very early on (which is when I go crazy and then pare down until the end of sale) and in the last 24-hours, when people are really finalizing their carts. I only just figured out how to use the favorites list (duh!!) and that is a good tip too.

I do agree to a certain degree. But it definitely should not be stressful. FFF is a huge company and I am sure they can afford a better web service. If this was one-person business, to hire a good web support could be a challenge. Also, if this issue happened only once, it’s ok.
However from what people are saying, with FFF looks like it happens all the time, of course it’s frustrating. In some companies, if this issue happened more than once, someone responsible could be fired. Also, some people may not have time to “stalk” the page for 2 weeks. Personally, I’d rather put whatever I want in my cart, then by the end of the add-ons period, I would review everything again and get rid of things I don’t need. I don’t have time or desire to log in every day. In any case, I feel like FFF needs to make sure their page can handle all this traffic and hire better support.
To answer your question – that Bum Bum lip butter does have a similar smell but it’s really faint 🙂

Thank you for telling me about the Bum Bum lip product. You saved me time and money. I’m sure everyone does this “add ons” thing differently and of course we all have our favorite products. I also think FFF has figured out a way to get the highest sales. Everyone wants good deals and for some reason we usually want things in short supply. I’ve found myself wanting things that were sold out BECAUSE they were sold out. How dumb is that? I ended up buying them because I finally got them in my cart. So…who won? Me or FFF? Nothing against them though, they’re a business and I have been a happy customer!

I’ve learned to do all of my add on shopping 2-3 hours before add ons are over. It’s not as much fun as the hunt, but I usually get everything I want in one swoop. I got a little too neurotic last time about a 5 dollar jar of callyse coffee beans when I strayed from my usual method of operation 😂😬

Thanks for the 2-3 hour before it ends tip. This is my first time being able to get add ons and its very discouraging seeing so many things already sold out since I am a seasonal subscriber. How does the favorites list work? Will you get reminders when it’s available? I askd someone at FFF and she said you just have to keep checking. Who has time for that though?

That Callyssee coffee scrub… God, I was stalking it FOREVER! But I got it and when I did I felt like I have really accomplished something. Sad.

This may be a dumb question but can unsubscribers ever get access to this sale? I want 2 items but don’t need another sub.

Reply ButtonReply

Jamie

No, you have to be an active subscriber to gain access to the sales. This sale is specifically to add items to your box.

This is seriously day 1 – we have 13 more days to shop.

If you want the bum bum and lip butter but dont want to refresh for days- the Sol De Janeiro site has the bundles with the full size bum bum, lip butter and travel crush spray for 40% off in the exclusive pull down on their site. Make the bundle under $36.

Reply ButtonReply

Mandy

Thanks. I just ordered one because I know one won’t open up on the add ons. It’s a better deal through their site anyway with all three items !!

Reply ButtonReply

Laura

But shipping adds $8 which brings it to $44. I can get the cream for $45 on Sephora. Is there a way to get shipping paid?

Reply ButtonReply

MB

I just bought 2 of the bundles – total was enough to qualify for free shipping.

Heather

The 10% off can’t be used on exclusives but try FREESHIP and it should work. I didn’t find it until after I placed my order but hopefully it’ll save you some cash!

Rebecca

So if you sign up for the newsletter on sol de Janeiro you get a 10% off code. That should take care of some of the shipping

Heather

You get a lip butter and travel size body spray with the full size bum bum cream (and the lip butter is amazing!) so even with the shipping it was worth it for me…sorry I can’t be of more help

Heather

Thank you so much for posting!! I really hadn’t planned on buying any this time around but couldn’t pass up on a deal like that!

Yeah the site has been down for at least 2 hours and I was late but trying like at 12:30 ish. I normally never buy much anyway but I like to look I finally just got my order from the edit sale yesterday.Hppy with my goodies.

They normally open add-ons on a weekday when many people are working and can’t log on right away. I can see how a Saturday launch could cause way more traffic. I am fortunate that I was able to get through at one point but haven’t been able to go back and edit yet.

K guys I’m going to stop spamming this thread now, just letting you know I’m seeing stable action so you should be good to go!

Hot items were of course sol de janero, bundles, and unicorns. In the unexpected category, the lemon pouch and all things ish. So heads up if you want those. Happy hunting, I hope you all get everything you want!

All of you who are frustrated all you can really do is keep trying. For me it has been going in and out. They may want to look into preventing this in the future. As I type this it’s back up and running

I know some of you are frustrated. Maybe I can help, web dev is my career. If you are seeing 504 or 502 errors that’s ok. It’s not wiping out your cart. My mom always fuses at me for not explaining “techy things” simple enough, but simply put, this error just means you’re sending out an “ask to view page” message and the server on the other end doesn’t give you an answer like expected in a time frame. So imagine you have a phone and it’s got five lines. You get one, maybe two calls regularly. All at once you get 100. Your phone is going to flip out and not every call will come through. As soon as people stop all hitting refresh at once, which usually happens pretty fast, those messages will start being able to all be processed again. They likely can’t afford the type of support needed for this when it’s drastically different than their day to day. There’s probably one guy somewhere frantically trying to untangle this for us, he is probably very stressed out. Add ons are always kind of a game. Try and have fun with it 🙂

I would like to think there’s hopefully one techy lady trying to fix this for us — from one techy lady here to another, let’s not assume the IT person is a man 🙂

I would like to think that a techie lady would have prevented the problem from happening in the first place. We are awesome at preventative maintenance. 😁

Karen

Thank you for your post…you totally brought me away from my pissy state and back to reality. You’re so right – the fabfitfun add-ons have always been a bit of a game, this is just another obstacle.

I’ll just have fun with it (and do a little dance when I do finally add something to my cart!)

Thank you!

Thanks for reading my novel 😉 I hope it helped.

Leah

Oh and the reason you are getting through and then not… So basically your call came through but another 30 followed it so you got put on hold and you timed out. This might not be the BEST analogy but it encapsulates most of the problem. I want to give you all big hugs based on these comments. If you want something badly and can’t get it, come hang out on the FFF forum. I helped dozens of people pick stuff up. It can totally be done don’t stress 🙂

It will be very interesting to see how FFF responds to customers after this. I would expect an email at the very least apologizing for the delay. I was going to log in at 11:30 and upgrade my account to be ready for the sale.

Unfortunately, I am discouraged to now especially seeing the comments from people that nothing is Wow.

UGHHH! I think this website problem is the universe’s way of telling me I spent enough during the Edit Sale and to move on and enjoy my Saturday.

47 minutes and counting…

Still down, though it sometimes loads the sign in page.

its 12:44pm east coast time and the site is down! crashed!!!
i hope when it comes back on that there are still good items left

this is unfortunate – but maybe is the universe helping me save money….

So it started working for a few minutes and I added everything I could to my cart then crashed again. So far 146 items in my cart. LOL. Now if I could only get back on to remove items.

Kim

146? Really?
this is why there is such hysteria for people to get in to grab only one or two items.

Reply ButtonReply

Deanne

I know, I’m totally amazed. I’m sure they’ll be dropping items and I’m not really judging but how crazy!

Heidi

And you, dear annual subscriber, are one of the reasons I won’t be renewing MY annual membership. I get that it’s the internet, and I get that we each can do whatever we want on the internet, so no lecture please, but there’s really a point where FFF should step in and start limiting the number of items in people’s carts. Since they don’t, and this practice is allowed to continue, as well as the practice of annual subscribers grabbing items to “save them” for regular subscribers (thereby depriving other annual subscribers of the opportunity to purchase early), I won’t be resubscribing.

And yes, as soon as the servers clear, I’ll cancel the auto renew feature on my FFF sub

Same here, I added 49 items and more concerns with not be able to remove items then with whipping out my cart.

I somehow managed to get in and add a bunch of stuff. Most things tend to become available again once people go back and edit their carts. Hang in there, folks!

Mandy

I’m not going to re-subscribe when this year’s membership is over in the Winter.
IF they can’t even have enough servers to process the web traffic they know they will have, and IF they open things early without warning, that’s just not fair to everyone. Not that I’ve ever been enamored of most of the add- ons.

I bet influencers got first dibs…

If it helps, I saw no client side indications they did anything like that 🙂 read my other comments! You can totally get anything you want if you really want it.

I got on before 9 and scrolled through the entire shop and added a few items to my cart and went back and it crashed. This is the biggest event in subscription box add-on history 🤣 and I wasn’t that impressed s few items I was like “wow” but that’s it. Excited for the FFF collectible tote and tumbler should I get the tote or tumblr.
