POPSUGAR Must Have - November 2012 - Page 24

« Back to Group Discussions

Thanks for the comments ladies! I'm going to try the live chat tomorrow, I've been too busy to get to it today :)

I just heard back from Pop-Up Pantry.  Here's their reply:

We strive here to figure out the best solutions to problems that we have encountered. The PopSugar coupon, released in the September Must Have box, was only meant to last through the month of September. We allowed the code to be used an additional month through the month of October, but as I mentioned before....it has expired.

We would love for you to try out our meals and our service. As I mentioned in my previous e-mail, I have added a $20 account credit for you to use at any time. I do hope that you will taste some of our delicious meals soon!!

I don't understand how the promotion was meant only for the month of September when most of the members didn't even receive their box until the start of October.  I don't understand how there are inconsistencies with how they are handling this situation.

After reading everyone else's reviews and the conflicting resolution that they are offering ... I don't think I'm even going to mess with contacting them.  When we got the code the only meal on the site that I thought we might like was the meatloaf sliders, which were sold out by the time I got my boxes ... I signed up for notifications and they never brought it back .. I checked back a couple times and never saw anything I wanted to try.  Either the appetizer and dessert sounded great but the entree wasn't something I'd like, or vice versa.  I think I'll just take the loss on the codes since it was a good month with the other items in that PopSugar box. 

The Pop-Up Pantry thing is ridiculous. If it helps, my meal sucked and was a big time waste because it does take time to prepare the meal and read through the directions. Also mine involved multiple pots and pans. The stove and the oven. I would contact PopSugar and let them know what is going on so that they can change and make it clear to future vendors how their program works, so that future vendors don't pull the codes again. The pop-up pantry code did not have an expiration date and actually was one of the reasons I think many of us rushed to use the Stylemint code (in case it got pulled all of a sudden).

It didn't have an expiration? Then they can't pull this stuff. I think you ALL need to push for your meals and order them even if you don't want them. Give them to someone. So not cool.

I definitely feel that it's our right to receive the items since we did pay for the box and the coupon was in the box we paid for.  I replied to their response and declined their 20 dollar credit.  I also told them I could not support a business that handles resolutions the way they did.  I did notify them that I would contact PopSugar Must Have and I will be writing a review about my experience with their company on my blog. 

Strength is in numbers so I think contacting PopSugar would be important for anyone else in the same situation as well as posting on the Pop Up Pantry Facebook Page.

They need to give you a full credit. You guys should NOT let this go.

Good information. I haven't used my pop pantry coupon yet either and I didn't realize it was limited to those months. I will have to send out an email too.
 

Wow - just reading this BS about Pop-Up Pantry... absolutely ridiculous! Nowhere did it say that the coupon expired at the end of September - especially since most of us didn't get it til October, and then everything was sold out for another month and a half! Whatever - nothing on that site excited me at all, I'm over it.

On another note - I did the Yogalosophy DVD last night - totally kicked my butt! I'm so sore today, in such a good way.... highly reccomend it :)

Also - has anyone else noticed how many newbies are on the December thread?! kinda funny how big this forum has gotten!!

TY for your mini Yogalosophy review! I finally took it out of the PopSugar box last night & put it near my DVD player. And now, you have def given me the push to try it. :)

haha you are very welcome!! I did the 55 minute "fully loaded challenge" and it was pretty hard core! granted I'm pretty out of shape at the moment so that of course made it much more difficult, but I loved it! and the instructor is kinda funny, so it makes it more fun :)

I'm still waiting for the Mor Lip Macaron since mine came without one. They told me it would take 6 weeks. -_-

I didn't even open my lip macaron  because I was going to give it away but maybe now I should just keep it for myself...I'd hate to give someone a melted one!

Got inspired by your comments and I just did the yoga dvd, did the short version. I think I will have to do the version without her talking next time. She didn't really count off the repetitions and sometimes failed to mention when she was going to switch, so that was annoying when you are facing the floor and not knowing to switch. I wish she would have worn some longer shorts and it seems she wishes she had too. The dvd was only mediocre ok for me. I like Kristin McGee ones much more. I did like some of the moves she did and I may incorporate some of them into my normal routine.

The socks we got in October totally made it more enjoyable, no cold toes.

I just got my shipping notification for my Stylemint order I made last Tuesday.

I'm enjoying how this November box has entertained us well into December. Or maybe its just because I decided not to get December.

I had to email Jewelmint cs and they responded pretty quickly, they said that my order was shipped on the 2nd and today my account just updated. I also live-chatted with one of their reps and they were able to give me another code that actually worked :) I'm pretty happy with Jewelmint although I skipped this month.

Hello all!  I'm new to the thread.  November was my first Pop Sugar box.  I liked it, but it will never compare to the box they had in September.   Including the Stylemint credit was a great addition though.   I used mine to get an outfit -  the freemont sweatshirt in rumba red and a pair of the floral print leggings - using the coupon code B1G1.  After using the credit, I only had to pay $3 bucks!  I can't say I've ever purchased an outfit for that cheap!  I ordered on Nov. 24th and just received my package yesterday, so I think their shipping is WAY too slow. The sweatshirt was a bit baggy and the sleeves are too long (their sizing is weird), but overall I'm happy.  The color of the sweatshirt is phenomenal and goes perfectly with the leggings.  I was really surprised how soft the leggings were too. I  don't plan on continuing my subscription to Stylemint  (it's just a bit pricey to me), but I really enjoyed trying it out.  

I ordered a mystery box on the 20th, and it just shipped on the 5th...only after I emailed them asking where it was.

OMG hahaha so I was out at a bar last night in NYC and I see a girl with the brokedown scarf from September... having had a few drinks already I go up to her and grab it (scaring the crap out of her, obviously) and go OMG POPSUGAR?!?!?! She started cracking up.... that was exactly where she had gotten it!!

My stylemint mystery box tracking says my box was delivered Monday night at 10:10pm which is crazy to me since i'm pretty sure there aren't any fedex drivers out and about delivering packages at that hour.  Needless to say I did not get the package.  I called Stylemint and they said they have to wait 10 days after it was "delivered" to check into the matter.

OMG, that sucks!  I am sure you'll get a replacement package if FedEx doesn't clear things up.   A lot of times they will have the driver come back and point out where they supposedly delivered it.   Maybe they left it at the wrong house (happened to me several times, for some reason FedEx cannot get my house address right.)

The real reason I'm replying is to say that during holiday season, the drivers really DO run super late.  I've gotten deliveries at 9PM before, from UPS and FedEx and even USPS.   Usually everything comes mid-afternoon but not in December!

Hope you get your order soon :D

FedEx probably dropped it off at your post office. I know that's what usually happens when mine says delivered.
