    That does sound better - at least then if they explode they're safely contained in the microwave!

    I just got my SSB despatch :)

    hope you are ok Rose!

    well thats JB cancelled. of all the months they really needed to pull it out of the bag they have just shot themselves in the foot and put off potential new customers. have you seen the FB update blaming it all on UKMail and "mis-labelling" of boxes?

    It's such a shame as they are my favourite box but this has been handled in a hopelessly shambolic way. Either they didn't know what on earth was going on (they should have responded sooner to the droves of people asking where their boxes were) OR they haven't been entirely truthful about what has been going on. If they knew about the labelling prob on Fri then why give the impression that boxes might arrive on Sat or today?? I also think that they should have emailed everyone as there will be many people that aren't on Facebook and will have no idea where their box is. Goodness. I know it's not that important in the grand scheme of things but it's a case of trust and competence and goodwill and constantly disappointed expectation :( (I can't imagine being excited about this box when it eventually turns up. I was really excited but that was weeks ago!)

    Far more importantly: Rose - I hope that all has gone well for you and the LO today :)

    JB is absolute pants in my eyes after this fiasco, imagine spoiling your own birthday with such a shoddy celebration.

    I'm thinking I'm a bit bored with the whole concept now as it seems to bring disappointment month after month.

    Amitee has also had delivery problems this month and GB is still showing the June box for sale.

    Fingers crossed for SSB.

    Hope Baby IT has made a safe arrival Rose and now has a proper name x

    I really don't understand how it could have gone so wrong for them :eek:

    It almost doesn't matter what SSB send us - just by being on time they will be way ahead of the game! :rotfl:

    I hope that Lux box are ok - they've gone very quiet (although I can't remember when they are meant to send things out...)

    Lux said on FB last week that their boxes were being sent out last Friday and they apologised for the delay............BUT nobody has received anything and Lux haven't responded to any questions asking whether or not the boxes have actually been posted or not. Pretty typical really.




    Hope the beauty baby has arrived and the poor lass isn't in for another 36 hours of waiting! I think she's been patient enough waiting for little one to make an appearance

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Amarya aren't despatching until next Monday now. JolieBox has basically said we won't get it until next week after a c0€k up with labelling and UK Mail. Last FB update from Luxbox was on Friday 21/06 and said despatch was last week :(

    SheSaid has apparently despatched today and so has my beautylishious bag

    Think I am gong to have another cull - I'm not going to bother with the beautylishous bag again as one of her products next month is a bodyshop showergel - I can pick them up for £2.00 in the sale.

    Also haven't heard from Amitee/Pamper Secrets yet:(

    Purplebutterfly - I see what you mean about their FB page. :eek: At this rate SSB, Lux & JB are all going to appear on the same day :rotfl:

    (I don't mind Lux box being a bit late as they are still new. Mind you, SSB seem to have kept all their delivery promises right from the start, which is impressive :T)

    It must be getting close to Amarya time as well :D
