FabFitFun Spring 2019 Box Spoiler + Add-On Schedule!

11am Pacific

I feel the same way! It’s a great way to remind me to treat myself.

Only annual subscribers get to choose certain items they receive. Otherwise fff chooses for you. I didn’t receive the exfolikate either, I got the other choice which was a hand cream.

I just went annual and I’m happy about it. FFF does limit our purchases to three of each item. The entire time I was seasonal (one year,) I was always able to get what I wanted from the sales with a little persistence of course. Also, I think as long as I pay for something, I have the right to do with it as I please. Whether it be the swap and trade boards, keeping them, giving them away, or even selling them if they turn out to be something I can’t use or don’t
like. I do not purchase anything for the purpose of reselling them so let me be clear about that. They are also making the effort to allow for box skipping if you go annual, so I really don’t think they are out to get anyone. FFF has always listened to their subscribers and they can’t please everyone, but out of all the subs I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot, they are the absolute best with customer service and listening to their subscribers.

at least pay less go to annual (if you buy them every time). however, you have the option to opt out of a box you don’t like, so there are +’s and -‘s to both options.

Jen, no one pays full price for any of the items on the swap site. Getting items as add on is rarely as good of a deal as getting items in a box. So if folks want to spend hard cold cash to get items just to swap them, so be it. I don’t think that makes sense financially but they can do whatever they want.

You need to become a select member if it upsets you that much. Part of those perks are why some of us pay upfront annually. Actually FFF does limit how many any of us can buy to 3.

No one got the coasters there was something wrong with them…

yes 🙂

I see two dates – maybe I’m reading it wrong?

truthfully, i fi had to choose between unsub and an annual/season such as i ahve now.. i would unsub.. i have other subscritions i like as much .. i am not having a for profit company dictate how i spend my hard earned money .. particulary as a teacher..

While I’m an annual I totally agree with you. I think its messed up how they’re removing things seasonal’s once had and calling it a perk for the annuals.

I agree! I would too!

That’s how it originally was when I joined. Seasonal got what they got and annuals could pick a certain color such as with the ponchos a few winter boxes ago, but not everything in the entire box. I like knowing what I am getting but I also miss being surprised when I get my box. I only renewed my annual membership this year for early access to add-ons and edit sales because I do agree, if you don’t get on there right away many things are sold out until people purge their carts the last day, and even then you aren’t guaranteed to get everything you wanted.

Seasonal have 3 customization choices the same time as the annual chooses theirs. The big deal is that seasonal might not have a chance to pick the 3 products they wanted but instead pick the ones what is left.
Imo, Fff should have changed something else. They could have put more perks to annual, like rewards such as give add-ons credit or put extra item for paying upfront. This “change” just drives away loyal seasonal.

I’ve never had a hard time getting things in add-ons, since people drop stuff all the time. And I generally work when customization opens, so don’t get to that until the evening. There are always options available. I might not be able to pay the extra $10 for an item I like at first, but it usually opens up after the initial feeding frenzy, too (those towels this summer was the exception for those). Just check back a few days later. Play the fun little refresh game like the rest of us. Ah… that thrill of victory when you snag that thing you want! 🙂

From what I understand, seasonals didn’t always have customization choices. That benefit has been added in the last few years, so I highly doubt that they will take it away. I don’t get why this change is such a big deal. It changes nothing at all for seasonal members. They still get all the choices they would normally have. Nothing at all has been taken away from anyone. And the extra “benefit” doesn’t really benefit anyone. A few days early is meaningless. It’s lipstick to make people feel like they’re getting something, but nothing has actually changed.

Totally agree – this doesn’t make me want to go annual it just makes me feel like if you aren’t annual they don’t appreciate you at all

Most people complain that a weekday morning is inconvenient bc most people have Saturdays off, so I guess they can’t please everyone unfortunately I. I feel ya though..I work Saturdays and won’t be able to get to my phone until almost 1!! 🙁

There was an official post in the community from FFF regarding select members gaining access to customization before seasonal members. They did not say anything about a change in the ability for anyone to add multiple items from the same category for an extra $10 in the post and I believe they would have if customization were to be changing so much. There’s also a thread in the community started about this post now. If you’re a FFF member, join the community and you’ll see more!

I personally think the post here is a bit confusing, but who knows, maybe FFF is going to throw this at us the day customization opens and people will have a fit. Lol.
