These boxes seem to get worse and worse! The first one, which I missed the boat on looked fab. Spring was meh. This is nothing that I would buy. I have no idea what to do with this cover since my planner is the LUXE HARDCOVER. I purchased that specifically because the removable back cover kept popping off in 2015. The coiled hardcover was a dream.

have you thought about selling the cover in an EC group?

I LOVE everything in this box!! The cover is gorgeous in person (just opened my box). The only thing I might not use is the oh what a week pad bc I just write everything in my planner…but it would be great to gift to someone who doesn’t use a planner or for my high school daughter so she can see her week at a glance. Love, love, love!!!

This was my first box and was super excited to receive it…until I saw the spoilers. The first two were waaaayyy better than the useless stuff they sent this time around. To top it all off the clutch was missing from my box. I emailed them and they said they would look into it with their production team and get back to me with the best option for me. Best option and only option to me would be to send me my missing item. You would think that by now they would have better quality control. So disappointed.

My box is on the way or I would make them cancel it. It is my first box and I am disappointed but oh well. I do think it is worth more than the $35, however, it’s not how i would choose to spend $35 and I am so bummed! Could have bought me some Etsy stickers. I like the cover, cute for summer, and the stickers are nice. I’m ok with the blue band since I don’t own one. But the clutch, I won’t use it. Wish it was the planny pack. I’m the type that throws away all the little cosmetic cases that come as gifts with make up purchases, just clutter to me. Pencils are cute, but I never use pencils. Wish I had a daughter to give them to, but 3 boys over here. The notepads witll not be used. The little notepad is lame and not cute at all. And don’t get me going on the lip balm! What the heck is that about…seems like the free promtional type lip balms you get by vendors at work.

This is actually an addendum of sorts to my comment above. Can’t figure out how to edit it. I am actually a little happier with the box now. The pencils do look super cute on my desk, and I LOVE the Oh What A Week pad. So great. I have been jotting things down on it instead of post its in my planner for the following week. It’s been helpful for putting down new release dates for sticker shops, appointments, etc. And the sticker sets in my planner looks amazing! Very clean but very pretty! Still don’t like the lip balm or the pouch though. But I like enough of it that it is tempting me to gamble with the next seasonal box. 😉

So I got my box today, I’m like the items in the box but not for the price point. If the pencils were patterned they would be worth $6; the pouch is okay but the dark grey seems fall to me, not summery at all. They gave me double the sticker sheets and I assume that is an accident so it’s nice but in total, I’m bummed. A coupon for free shipping or a percentage off would be nice.

I just opened my box (this was my first and last surprise box!) an am very disappointed. I can’t believe I wasted the money on this box. I have purchased many planners for myself and my daughters and friends. Seeing an order like this makes me never want to purchase from Erin Condren ever again.

My box is supposed to arrive today….and I’m not even excited! Was really hoping for items similar to the other two boxes…pens? gift card? dry-erase? Definitely doesn’t feel worth the $35.

There’s a planner cover in this but no planner included to put it on?

Why would they include a $55+ planner when the box value maxes out at $60? (unless you were being sarcastic).

I have bought all the boxes and think they are a great value! If you add all that up, it’s worth more than the $35 I paid. I will use all of it. Will buy every box!!!

I almost ordered this since the first two looked pretty good, and I’m so glad I didn’t. It seems they could do a lot better for $35.

Definitely meager this time. The first box was a great value, second one not bad either. This one is very disappointing. I switched to all hardbound planners this time around so the planner cover will be of no use to me.
The surprise box purchase was my 10th order so it activated my $50 off coupon so that helped. Used it to buy another planner and sticker book.

I didn’t know they did a $50 coupon. So that’s a positive. Not impressed with the box.

I can’t figure out why this is $35? I mean it all looks nice, but maybe for $10.

Agreed, at least with the others there was a discount coupon to that kind of made the value in addition to the items.

I can’t help but notice how much the little asterisks used everywhere look like the spark (that’s how they refer to it) Walmart has in their logo…

Great- never noticed and now I can’t unsee it!

That’s the last time I buy this. I wonder if I can cancel.
Reply

I emailed them last night as soon as I saw this and requested to cancel the order. It’s not a custom order and has not shipped yet, so I don’t see when they shouldn’t honor my request. I checked their cancellation FAQ’s and their policy is VERY vague. It discusses how they can fix orders where there was damage in shipment or errors in the customization.

i do love the model that carried her erin condren subscription box almost to the ocean. be careful with the sand and those stickers, my friend!

I’m cracking up at this – you mean that having my stickers and planner pages blowing all over the place and sand on my washi tape isn’t the norm?????
I have so many gripes about the EC brand at this point after having made several purchases over the past 5+ years. The planner and organization market is so flooded right now and the EC brand is SO overpriced, I don’t even know why people are still spending what they spend on their items. They’re not original or unique, the quality is on par with what one could find in a local hobby/craft store and as someone else said, the asterisk is very reminiscent of Walmart.
This box is laughable. I can’t imagine anyone other than a diehard EC follower getting any value out of this.

I can’t wait! I normally don’t change my covers but I think I’ll use this and see how I like changing it up. I love the sticker sheets, flags, and that clutch I need so bad. The pencils are not exciting and I’m disappointed they are printed designs. And the lip balm? Everyone knows that is the cheapest thing to toss in a box. Still a win, I was going to buy a clutch so the rest is just a bonus

I agree. Was very happy with the first two boxes but this one is a Meh! Wish, I could cancel.
