Oui Please Subscription Box Review – Vol 1.5

Oui please 1.6 spoilers are out and includes 1951 MAISON FRANÇAISE CLUTCH! I’m already a subscriber and wondering if I should get another one!! I love Oui Please, and I love French product!

Yeah! I got the same box as Liz but my tonic leaked so most of the outside boxes were stained. The scarf is a beautiful blue and mauve color. The candle is green and pink outside and the tea is in the container. Same bracelet but the paper got stuck on the wood black part so I am trying to carefully pick it off. I’m very excited to have gotten a great box! I did subscribe annually with a coupon 20% off about 3 boxes ago. I am not a blogger – so it was a nice surprise!

I signed up at the beginning, last December, for one year with a 20% discount. I was so excited for this box, and expected to have a year of wonderful bi-monthly packages arrive at my doorstep to take me away to all these exotic French locales…. but that’s never happened. Not only did I never receive my tracking info after the first box, but the shipment schedule, as as everyone knows, has been very haphazard. I wont be renewing, which is an easy decision, no temptation to renew at all. I think I realized that after the wrinkled cardstock circular “coasters” advertised as being worth $20.00 in the 4th box (Immediately they sailed with disgust into my paper recycling bin – oh, SO sad!) This last box included mustard, almonds and a tin of loose tea, like mostly everyone else’s box, too. My big ticket item was the Marina de Bourbon Vamp perfume, which I like, but am very sad that the booklet claims it is valued at $160.00 yet many folks have said they’ve seen it online elsewhere for 75% less than that. Since I signed up, I have a new credit card number which I have not updated on their site so I wont have to worry about them billing me for next year. I seriously doubt they can last another 6 boxes with all this bad feedback and serious “box envy”.

While this box was better than the last couple I’ve received from Oui Please, I am SO over this sub. I regret purchasing an annual subscription. There are some beautiful items but there are also a lot of duds and it’s a complete crap shoot as to what you end up with. I will be moving on.

I do think they have excellent taste and I like the products they pick. Since I paid for an annual subscription with a 20% off coupon the value is still met for me every month, and I love my bracelets this month, but agreed that I have major envy for people who have received clutches and bigger ticket jewelry (though I love my one scarf and tshirt). My frustration this month was receiving two perfumes, a perfume soap and a heavily perfumed lotion as my major items and I’m super allergic to fragrances. Last box was all heavily perfumed lotions, I would prefer more variation in that regard

Everytime a ouiplease review comes up I get excited but it’s quickly replaced by frustration. Why ouiplease! Whyyyyyyy?

I mean, I already know “why” from their previous comments about the variations, but the curation and value are not balanced enough for it to be working well.

Ugh, subs are usually a gamble but this sub is double.

Liz, you are too good! Thank you.

I am not an annual subscriber. It was just way too expensive for me to do so. But I’ve been buying every box since1.2 when the coupon was available. For this box, I purchase 2 and in both, perfume was my ticket item. I was so frustrated when I opened the box, I actually kicked it away and scared my boyfriend. Like Candie said below, it’s just not right to have such varied products as big ticket items. It’s not honest. What’s more valuable, a perfume that’s supposedly $160 bucks but you can find it on amazon for $40 or a hand made, personalize scarf, that you can’t even buy even if you wanted to. I feel duped and taken advantage by this company. Oui please was my favorite sub, but it’s time for me to move on.

Not sure if anyone form Oui Please reads these comments, but they should! In order for this box to become successful – they need to make it a little more standard on what everyone gets. Perhaps – do the annual subscribers first – and they should each get one of the more valued items – in this last box.. perhaps do the skarves with initials for them as a thank you. I now have been getting 2 boxes and my second box had not one accessory item – lots of perfumes, lotions and food. Yes , the bracelet was in all boxes and it appears almost all also got the nuts, mustard and tea. But, when you see others getting purses and beautiful skarves – it is upsetting! Fine to have a variation in colors or styles of products- which makes swapping fun…but when they do such varied items… this will not work! I fear a lot of swappers will cancel after the delay in getting the boxes and the odd mixture of items they send. I do kove the comment Liz made about the booklet which lets you know what you wish you would have gotten….too funny!!!

Signed up for an annual sub, but I’m out once I’ve fulfilled the terms of the agreement. 3 more boxes. Might take a whole year to get those, though!

I liked the box I got, though of course I liked some other variations more. I really wanted the candle, but was able to swap for it thanks to one of the lovely MSA swappers. Now I just have to swap for every variation of tea – the one I got was amazing!

I have to say though, the second I saw your box, my first thought was, ‘nice blogger box!’ It’s not just the one-off nice box for you, it’s every box. Maybe you could have one of the lesser known reviewers sign up under a spouse’s name?

Thanks Liz. So kind of you.

Love the scarf I would totally rock it during the holiday season. Thanks for the chance to win it!

I also received the Rubi & Cube scarf but a pretty sparce rest of the box. The scarf is glorious though!

OuiPlease is my favorite box! It has introduced me to lovely jewelry, clothing, accessories, beauty products and food items. Whether I receive or swap, I have enjoyed this box immensely. I like the varied boxes and look forward to each box. Without them, would we ever have discovered the joy, envy, desire and obsession of the hunt for the Maison Francais 1951 clutch?

My husband called dibs on the almonds as well! Great review Liz.

the things customers have had to put up with from this “business” are ridiculous. that is no way to treat your customer base , constant delays, open or broken items ,non responsive. it is utter and complete nonsense.

When I saw the review and clicked on it my first thought was “I bet Liz got the scarf” – I hope someone else here got it too! It’s very nice of you to give it away Liz.

Love the scarf, they are my colors! Would love to own it.

Fingers crossed. I am Sooo hoping o win this scarf. This will be my third box from them and while I love what I eventually get, it has been such a hassle. First box for lost. They sent me a replacement. Second box, they sent to the wrong address. Again sent me a replacement. Now this is my third box and once again it is missing. Apparently delivered. But can’t find it. So once again they are gonna have to send me a replacement. Unfortunately by the time I get any of the boxes I get a bunch of leftovers. I still do love what I get. But it’s the most random haphazard stuff from past boxes. It’s a bummer. I want to love this box. But right now I just can’t. Thanks for the chance to win this scarf xoxo

This box doesn’t seem very well put together. ..I thought they curated to a region or did I make that up? Will be interesting to see the variations

I laughed at the line about the magazine being great for finding items you wished you had received! That’s about all it’s good for, showing you the great stuff that they didn’t send but made you think they would.

I know that I had read this somewhere– Liz, were you the blogger who had reached out to OuiPlease a while back about receiving nicer/higher-end items more than “regular” subscribers and they replied to the effect that they were planning to give everyone a higher-end item during the course of their subscription? And if it wasn’t Liz, does anyone else remember seeing this– maybe it was after the 2nd or 3rd parcel?

That scarf is gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the scarf. Crossing my fingers!

I’m a little bummed with Oui. I splurged and got 2 separate annual subs. The last 2 boxes I’ve recieved duplicate boxes (meaning 1.4 & 1.5) which totally negates the whole purpose of having 2 annual subs. ? perhaps my mistake for “going for it”. Worst thing, I always seem to get the less desirable selections…thank goodness for swaps!!! Not trying to be a downer but lesson learned. Multiple annual subs are def not worth it!! Huge waste of money!! I think it would’ve been a nice touch had they offered ALL annual subbers a monogrammed scarf…..seriously!
