**Other Subscription Box News / Closures / Updates**
~Birchbox: Birchbox Aces will receive sample choice e-mails tomorrow (10.27.14) while all other subscribers will receive the e-mail on 10.28.14. Samples do “sell out” so if there is one you really want to get, make sure make your pick quickly! You can see the sample choices here.
~Blue Velveteen: I’m not quite sure what is up with Blue Velveteen. According to their Facebook wall, October boxes were suppose to ship on 10/20, however, no subscribers appear to have received them and their Facebook hasn’t been updated since 10/9. Also, from the sounds of it, subscribers are not getting responses to their e-mails. If you are a subscriber, you may want to watch this one and file a PayPal / credit card dispute if your box doesn’t arrive. ETA: As of 10.27.14, Blue Velveteen has deleted their Facebook page.
~PopSugar: I posted this on Facebook as well, but PopSugar sent out an e-mail update on October boxes. It stated that, as of Friday, 90% of the boxes had been shipped (not necessarily received, but shipped) to subscribers. You may or may not have gotten tracking on your shipped box yet. I received my tracking on Saturday for boxes I received earlier in the week. If you didn’t get this e-mail, you can read it in full here.
As always, if I have missed any new boxes or if you know of any box news (or are wondering what’s going on with a box and want to know if anyone knows anything) I have missed, please let me know!
What does it mean when I can click on the Blue Velveteen Facebook page yesterday and read the wall comments, but can’t today? It comes up with a Facebook login. Same when I google it. I don’t subscribe to the box, but am curious to what this means.
Ohh, I just checked and mine is the same way. Means they deleted their Facebook account!
I was trying to decide between Blue Velveteen & Frenchbox…so glad I picked Frenchbox! I was reading the BV comments yesterday and it all seemed pretty shady.. then to delete their account…As great as a new box looks I usually wait at least 3 months to see what kind of feedback they are getting first.. Hopefully everyone who subscribed to BV will get their money back…
Oh for sure! I think contacting your credit card company / Paypal if you are a subscriber is the way to go. If you can’t get a response from BV, they should help you!
