Has anyone else been sent out a survey for the new Macy’s sampler review box?

No, darn! I haven’t seen one yet.
I got September’s box today and it had a $10 gift card in it! Yay! That helps take the sting off their new policy of requiring a $10 purchase to use the monthly gift card.

I go my box today and I love the bag. It is huge verses what I thought it would be and I have many uses for it. Pretty happy this time!!

i was very pleasantly surprised by the size of the bag too.

I agree about the bag. I have gotten all the bags since they started this a year ago August and I must say I only disliked one of the bags in that 12 months. And it was similar to this one. it was a burlap looking pull string. BUT, what we are getting is beyond awesome. OMG, Cashmere Mist– oh yea baby– love it!!!!

I was about to sub to this but wanted this Sept box. When will the Oct spoilers come out? If anyone’s interested I will take Sept box for the cost plus shipping. Or let me know where to go for swaps etc…

There are some items i dont want from this bag that i would love to swap but i’m on the waitlist and it says swaps are by invite only. if anyone wants to invite me to swap 🙂 i have some items from Aug and Sept for ipsy, sephora play, birchbox, and Sept for macys i’d like to swap.
I’m more interested in skin care than make up.

The swap value is much higher, plus the coupon alone is worth $10.

Ugg.. I cancelled and was told that I cancelled too late in the month and I would still be billed and September would be my last bag. Honestly, I don’t like anything in it at all. Maybe the lippie but I wont use any of the other stuff. Really po’d that you need to cancel way earlier in the month to not get next months box. I think the cut off date was the 15. I don’t even have anyone I could gift these items to.

Grace…. if you don’t want your entire box then would be willing to sell it for $15 plus shipping ?

Yes their billing is not very good for a major retailer. The kept messing up my account charged me for double triple bags and then would not send them is was a pain in the butt subscribing with them. I normally keep a positive out look but after 3 tries and a lot of my precious time wasted on the phone to speak with CSReps I decided to cancel. It would have been nice to be one of the few who have had no issues with this beauty box. What evs. I subscribe to Ipsy and have not had major issues and CSReps are great there.

The processing time is how it’s always been with Macy’s, the subscription has been around for more than a year.

Two words: SUNDAY RILEY.

Lol, yeah, you know we are all too spoiled when everyone is complaining so much about a box containing Sunday Riley. 😄

I would subscribe, but looks like signing up now has the first box in October. If anyone doesn’t want their entire September bag, I’ll buy it from you at cost + shipping or swap for it. You can click on my name for my swap profile. Thanks!

I’m so glad you flagged that!! I was about to do it for the good genes.

I wrote them today, I guess the cut off was 8/21. Just for future reference.

At first I thought “ho hum”, but looked up the deodorant and it looks like something I’d love to try so I’m thinking about subbing. If only subs that include perfume had a no-scent option!

If you sign up now, you’ll get October, not this one fyi!

This is my last box as I cancelled last month but not in time. It’s ok but surely doesn’t make me regret my decision.

I’m not liking this box. I’m also not liking the minimum spend to use the coupon. This one is soon to be on my cancel list…

Good luck canceling it. Plan for at least a small portion of your day to be lost.

I canceled a few times by now (I keep going back and forth with this sub), and it’s always just been a one-click operation.
sara
This is worth $10 but on the fence for $15. At least there’s not a vitamin supplement instead of a beauty item, given the theme. Also, I’m bummed that you now have to spend $10 to be able to use the $5 gift cards enclosed in each month’s bag. Feels cheap.
I used to be 100% happy with Macy’s. Now I’m slightly meh. Although if given a couple really nice months, I could get over it : )

the gift card is a $10 gift card!

I recently used the $5 coupon in store and didn’t need a minimum amount to purchase. I got two $3 masks in store for $1.08. However when I tried on line is when I needed to meet the minimum $10. Still haven’t used it.

Did they change this? Last month I bought a $10 trial size, used the $5 coupon and got free shipping. I would be very disappointed if there were a minimum now.

I’ll probably be in the minority but I actually really like this bag. I have been wanting to try that deodorant forever.
Reply
Luna
I’m not subbed, but I think it’s pretty awesome they included that deodorant. I can’t recall ever having tried it (but I wouldn’t surprised if I did years ago), but I’ve only heard great things about it on both the antiperspirant & deodorant front.

I’ve been wearing that deodorant for years and it’s awesome. I would never wear the cashmere mist perfume though.

I cancelled a while back, but am debating getting this one. I’ve got too much product sitting around from various boxes and this has at least a few really practical items I know I’ll use up!

If you subscribe now, you’ll only get the October box. You have to subscribe by the 10th of the month prior with Macy’s.
JuJu
It’s a nice box, but I am kinda glad I am not currently subscribed. I already have the Clinique item, and I don’t think I would have used anything other than that and the perfume & deodorant.

eww this will be my first bag since last month they screwed everything up and i didnt get last months which i wanted so badly and this bag will be my first. body wipes? and 2 perfumes? and deodarent. ugh

this is my first subscription and would have totally preferred August box. this i’m kinda eh about. I would love to swap but appears i’m on waitlist for that. :/

Regina
I feel you girl, they screwed up so many times on my orders, I finally had to cancel. I gave them like 3 chances too.
Reply
sara
I’m sorry, Brittany, I feel ya. This is not their usual fare, though. I’ve never had deodorant or wipes from them before. I’m guessing next month will be back to usual business. If you look at their past bags, it’s almost alway all name brand makeup and beauty items with the occasional face mask thrown in. Hang in there!
