FabFitFun Winter 2019 Add-On + Customization Schedule!

For some reason my box shows closed for customization and awaiting shipping already. I’ve not been able to make any selections. Anyone else having this issue?

I see people complaining about select members choosing first. I was a non-select member for 2 years and I never got a bad box. I paid $50 and got anywhere from $250-$350 worth of stuff. If you don’t think you’re getting enough for you money with that alone, please do cancel. You’re being ridiculous. When I realized that I was never going to cancel my membership, I upgraded. I never had a problem with select members getting first dibs. THEY Are paying more money and have paid for full year. Yes, they deserve to get the first pick. If you want that luxury, than pay up front. If you can’t afford $180, then be happy that you’re still getting an excellent deal for $50. Man, people always complaining. Pay or don’t pay, but don’t complain about what you’re getting.

First winter spoiler is out on the forum y’all

Wow I can’t believe some of the negativity for the boxes. I LOVED my Fall box and especially my Amika flat iron and cute Kate Spade lunch tote! Also, I am a quarterly subscriber and have NEVER received “second best” – I always receive my first picks. Sorry for those of you who are not happy with your choices but you do get to choose 3 items up front – just make sure you choose when the customization opens. Don’t give up on FFF; this is a great service and I feel like I celebrate my birthday 4 times a year! 🙂

I really don’t understand the complaints about select members getting early access. Even if you buy all four boxes for the year, you are only paying $5 more per box than an annual member who prepays and is unable to skip. Most subscriptions will give you an expensive gift and/or a much deeper discount for buying an annual…I think FFF found a pretty good way to give annuals a meaningful perk while keeping costs down.

So basically Fabfitfun is telling you that unless you’re an annual subscriber you will get the leftovers that nobody wanted. They need a just make it annual subscription required and go from there. I cancelled once they started giving annuals early customization. In the long run seasonal members pay more so they shouldn’t be treated like second best.

I’m anxiously awaiting spoilers for the next box. I’m happy with the faux fur blanket spoiler – I can’t have too many big fuzzy blankets to snuggle up in during our looooong, dark Canadian winters. The summer box was a total win for me, I loved it and will be using many items again over next summer (tote, robe, necklace, etc.) but the fall box was a big bust for me. Aside from the Aveda I really didn’t like it, and things I did like at first, like the salt/pepper mill, which turned out to be unwieldy, awkward, and of lousy quality, I liked for only a short time. All of this to say – I hope they give us a nice box for winter or this will definitely be my last year with them. I’m not an FFF hater, but there are a lot of really fantastic boxes out there that I could be spending that money on.

The edit sales have been going down hill but still not fair select gets to do them twice. They should have it spilt even. They already get to go first and pick extra choices. Are they going to replenish items during the second edit sale? This last sale I added the max items but wasn’t impressed and emptied my cart.

I canceled 3 or 4 boxes ago because I have too much products stashed up. FFF needs to fix their stupid web site. I was so fed up with counting down to the Add-on launch and attempting to log on and ………………nothing. They shouldn’t have their site crash EVERY time. It would take sometimes 15+ minutes to finally log on and then all the good stuff (or items I wanted) was sold out already. There are also so many sub boxes now to try.

So glad I cancelled! What I’m seeing now is that that non-select members are going to be further devalued for not paying in advance. So they’ll have the worst add on and customization options and I’m not on board with that. I would rather just get Boxyluxe. I don’t need to pay for a year in order to get all the benefits. I love that non-select members are actually paying MORE per year to be treated like they aren’t valued. Select is garbage everyone should be equal and boxes should ship based on how long you’ve been an active member. I used to love this box but fff needs to pull their heads out of their a**.

Liz, do you know when are going to be spoilers?

I’m a select member so this works for me. I just need to make sure I set my calendar to remimd me finalize my Add-on cart in time. Winter box is my last box and if it doesn’t wow me I won’t be renewing.

We’re only getting 5 days to shop add ons. I’d like to see a little more time. Maybe 7? I know I’m select and can shop again but then I have to pay shipping and I didn’t see what that would cost. It’s bad enough I have to factor in tax since I’m in CA. I always buy way too much and that adds up tax-wise. LOL

Fabfitfun is overall entertaining me for the whole year. Although the winter box is the last box of my annual subscription and I am not renewing it because I am not super felling the last two boxes, I Wish Fff the best for their continue effort. Their CS is the best.

Will this affect new members signing up?

So will any of these changes affect new member sign up? What if I sign up November 28? Will it stay the same it is now for new members signing up?

Ok what this message doesn’t address is how it’s going to work for brand new members, I’m guessing it would depend on whether u sign up to be a select or a non select member?? Like they have all these set dates but what if I’m signing up outside of these various dates? Like they have the last billing date as November 27 what if I sign up November 28? So all new members are immediately billed, then u customize following that payment, and they ship in the next couple of days from that? I just wish they would’ve made a note to say how or if there’s gonna be any changes for new members, or is it just gonna stay the same as it is now for new members signing up??

I’m really happy they’re finally getting things organized, and trying something new. It’s some progress at least.

I haven’t received my fall edit items yet, and I’m super nervous about items not being included like last time…I already got an email stating that one item will be shipped separately, but the last time that happened the separate item they were supposedly shipping to me was out of stock, soon we will see…I’m really hoping this sale runs smoother than last time. On top of that, 2 other items were not included in my package that I had no notification of, and one damaged item, and another of the missing items was out of stock as well. It was my first horrible experience with FFF, so I’m hoping this time goes much smoother, and all of the items I purchased are included this time.

I received an email and the sheet where they say what’s included in the box was confusing, and has me most nervous about it because 2 of the items that should be included don’t have a number next to them (they mark 1 or 0 to show what items are included). I haven’t received a separate shipping email for those items, so here’s to hoping…

Can’t wait! I’ve been using my summer add ons and fall edit sale items a ton!
