Got my box on monday – I chose the necklace, and also got the car charger/air purifier and the dental floss. Don’t care for either of those items but the necklace is GORGEOUS and that was the reason I ordered the box, so I’m more than happy 🙂

My mystery box just arrived and the candle was completely smashed. Im not surprised either because they didn’t put any padding at all in the box. It was just the loose items 🙁

I got the necklace I chose. The car charger/purifier. And floss

Same for me as well. Was so excited to see the purifier and floss. Something about that cute glass container. Another great mystery box for me!

develbow

I got the same! Would really have taken just about anything over the teeny tiny roll of $10 floss, but I’ll use the charger and the necklace really exceeded my expectations – exquisite!

My box was scheduled to arrive Saturday and it arrived today. I was really worried about what I would be getting given what everyone has posted so far. I chose the gray nesting boxes as my hero item. Ended up with the nesting boxes, headband, barrette, floss, gold pens, charcoal soap, and the rose hydrating mist. Retail value exactly $138. With the exception of the headband lol I love everything else. This box was definitely a win for me.

I don’t like to complain, especially when it comes to mystery boxes because you never know what you’re going to get, but I am pretty disappointed. I received the barbed wire earrings (my requested “hero” item), the tea towel, and the plastic-y headband. I reached out to HR about the min value – seems like this is a bit of a recurring issue. But, I guess that’s to be expected when there’s such demand!

Hmmmm. I placed my order on Nov 19th and still don’t even have a shipping confirmation. Is anyone else still waiting?

I ordered the nesting boxes. Maybe they’re having trouble fulfilling those orders?

Clarissa

some people have already gotten their boxes? I’m very happy for them but really bummed that we’ve been told that it could be the 15th. That’s literally almost a month after we ordered the box. This is frustrating. They should mail them all out at once. I got a necklace. Anyone else get one?

Reply ButtonReply

Rochelle

Clarissa, I received my mystery box a while ago. My hero item was the Air purifier car charger but my box didn’t meet the minimum value. So maybe they are taking their time now making sure each box has the minimum value? They did mention how busy they were in their response to me about shipping another item & I just received that today. I’m sorry you’re still waiting for yours, I agree December 15 is way too long-that is frustrating!

Karen

Mine is scheduled to arrive on Friday. Hopefully you get yours soon 🙂

Karen

I’m not sure if anyone is still following this thread, but if so I just heard back from Happy Rebel and they said all the mystery boxes will go out by dec 15. For those still waiting with me, fingers crossed they’re fabulous! (I’m so happy to be getting the gray boxes…I loved the gold ones I received in my subscription).

Do they notify you when the box ships? Bought it right off the bat on Monday and no box yet – haven’t heard a word from them. 🙁

Ditto. Not a peep in 10 days.

Wow my mystery box contained 2 dish clothes and dental floss…Do not order from them!! This is a joke!

What was your Hero item??

Laurie, What was your hero item? That doesn’t sound like your box will hit the minimum promised $138 value either.

Alex

What else did you get with it Laurie?

Rochelle

I just opened mine & it was disappointing too: dental floss, dish towel and a headband. I have to go look up the retail value of the items to see how that reaches the $138 minimum.

Reply ButtonReply

Rochelle

Update: I just added mine up. I received a total value of $114 for a box with a “minimum” promised value of $138. I’ve reached out to Happy Rebel but I’m pretty annoyed at having to do the extra work and fight to get what I paid for. Did anyone else get a lower value in their box than the $138 that Happy Rebel is advertising? I hope everyone else got better boxes or at least a higher value hero item !

Vanessa

Rochelle, everything is listed in their website if you want to count up the value of what you received.

Redhed36

Seriously! That is all you guys got. A combo of dish towel, headbands, and dental floss. Is the dental floss gold or something! We would be having words! Did you get to pick a mystery item?

minnowjoy

I just opened my box! I got 2 mystery boxes, the candle and the gold studs. My extras were the shoe bags, tea towels, headband, floss. I’m good with it!

Has anyone who picked the gold studs gotten their boxes yet? If so, what did you get? (I bought a box with gold studs and haven’t received yet so I’m curious! 🙂 )

Yvonne

I picked gold studs! I also got the shoe bag set and the tea towel set. I’m not super impressed, but it’s good enough for $50

Sadly, that actually sounds like the best box I’ve heard of yet. How sad that it appears HR did this again and filled the boxes with overpriced filler. I subscribed to the other mystery box debaucle and decided to give them another chance this time. I still don’t have my box. I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised. If they don’t make this right I fear they will have lost a whole new crop of subscribers. Again.

I just got my mystery box and I am happy with it! I picked the candle and also got the headband, floss & the urchin! I wanted that urchin so I’m happy!

I got the same exact box – swapping the headband but loving the rest!

Similar Car air purifier “hero items” on sale on amazon for 18 bucks. I will buy one of those instead and call it a day and feel proud I saved $38.

Got screwed last year on the mystery box. Once burned, twice shy.

Well… so many mixed reviews! I am not a subscriber, but after spending more than $40 on some sad makeup mystery boxes, I felt excited to order a box with the candle and another with wire gold earrings as for sure inclusions….HR, feel free to send me a silver earrings, too!

I am OBSESSED with those woodsy smelling candles so I got 4 boxes all with the candle… lol! With the no repeat item guarantee I bet I get one of just about every item in the shop 😀 Done with stocking stuffers (basically for free)!

Reply ButtonReply

Lauren

I grabbed a box for the candle, too. Been wanting one forever and haven’t had the right swap-bait to pull it off. Even if the rest of the box isn’t my exact style (I am a bit of a conformist…) I’ll still be happy. I figure I’d have spent at least 15$ shipping whatever swap would’ve nabbed me that candle, so my “net” cost is maybe 35, tops.

DL Co is having a huge candle sale, they also did a $39 mystery box with $200 in candles this week.

Reply ButtonReply

Sammy

I just looked at their sale section and didn’t see a whole lot. DL&Co no longer has this specific candle in stock, just HR. I would want to know the scent of a candle before I get it, so this is the best choice for me. Might try it though now that I know I have my staples squared away! 🙂

erika

interested in robe too. but only XL and larger left. wish I could find a picture of it being worn somewhere. A flat-laying crushed velvet not the best look for it — there hard to tell quality. sorry to hear that it sheds. drat was looking forward to this one today.

Yes! Have been waiting for this deal. Both of my last mystery boxes were amazing. Actually, I bought 2 for the last hero item mystery box. I have subbed for 2 years so I have almost everything but I have been wanting the necklace in black (I have the white).

The air purifier is amazing. I had one, chose a second for a hero item mystery box, and swapped for a third. Everyone in my family wants one.

Reply ButtonReply

Bethany

I picked the purifier as my hero item this time around! I like getting to pick the big ticket item, makes it less of a gamble. And I too was pleased with my last couple mystery boxes from HR. This is the first BTBF deal I’ve grabbed this year. Also hoping I like the FFF deal coming soon!

Wow clicked on the link as soon as I got the email 20 min ago and managed to snag the last of the croc embossed nesting boxes. Tried adding 2 and it let me know only 1 left in stock. Didn’t even try to pick something else just hit check out as fast I could lol. I’m new to Happy Rebel and I kicked myself for missing them the first time.

@HappyRebelBox

Hi MSA Readers! We added 8 new hero items today just for you. Two have already sold out, but six new options are still available, along with the existing handful of hero item options we had previously.

This year the setup is different, as you are guaranteed to receive the hero item(s) selected.

Happy BTBF shopping!

Happy Rebel, have you considered trying a different model for your mystery boxes? Just a suggestion, but it seems many MSA readers are hesitant to purchase this box due to past issues. Would it be possible to list the full contents of each mystery box variation (e.g., if you choose the robe as your hero item, you will also get items X and Y in your box). Even though it sort of defeats the purpose of a mystery box, I think providing full transparency regarding the contents would generate good will with MSA readers (and likely increase your overall sales). P.S. I say this as a fan of your company—I want you to succeed!

I just got a horrible $50 welcome box (basically a mystery box with their least desirable items they’re unloading). Swapping ALL of it. However I’m looking forward to their winter box.

Zo

The problems folks have with the mystery boxes were before the hero item mystery boxes.

Jen

I have an even better idea. Instead of mystery boxes of $50 for $138 value, how about discounting items that would be included in the boxes at the same rate, so we can build our own boxes. I’d definitely get some stuff. 🙂

minnowjoy

Bummer! I had the grey boxes in my cart, when I went to pay they were gone!!

Reply ButtonReply

Noelle

Not gonna lie, I’m disappointed. I’ve been looking forward to this day, hoping to get a box with the croc embossed nesting boxes in white or gold. Of course, they are only offering the gray. For $50, knowing I’d get those boxes, I’d consider it worth the risk. But I’m just not feeling any of the current offerings for the hero item.

Reply ButtonReply

CR

Same. I’m also a bit underwhelmed by the hero items. I think I’d be more inclined to jump on this mystery box if it were slightly cheaper ($40 or less), and there were more “hero” items to choose from (even if they started at slightly lower RVs of $40 and up). My concern is that by paying $50 for the box, I’m essentially paying close to retail for a hero item that I like but don’t love, with no guarantee than any of the other items in the box will be useable. It doesn’t feel like a good deal to me.

Reply ButtonReply

Noelle

Exactly, if I loved one of the hero items, I’d be all over this because all the mystery items would just be freebies. But I only like them, I don’t love them. Gonna mosey on over to PSMH and get the winter box for $50 instead. I do love that throw and I like the vast majority of the other items.

Vic

To everybody still moaning about last year… this one is totally different. Last year they let people submit requests (while clearly stating that all requests were not guaranteed) and people got upset when they didn’t get what they requested. This year you get to pick your hero item and it’s guaranteed! So the setup is not the same at all. Also, you can tell exactly what items you might receive by looking in their shop. It takes a lot of the mystery out of it. I am stocking up on more candles!

When looking at the $138 value make sure to go off the inflated HR values not the actual cost of the products. A few of us thought we were missing items last time then told our items were more expensive we were just dumb for not knowing that (had never been a subscriber so went off real RV’s)
