No spoilers please, but had anyone had their August box yet? Last month I received it on July 1st but I've not even had a dispatch email yet.

I didnt know they did one, I have some of their perfumes, lovely

Probably would never be able to replace them as I think they're one offs?

I've ordered one for the first time and not had a dispatch email yet either! Looking forward to it.

The website says shipping from yesterday (1 Aug) but I'm pretty certain that they've increased the number of subscriptions so will probably take them a few days to get everything on its way. Last month's was unusually quick (previous months have taken several days longer).

Someone raised on Discord that there's been no shopping notification yet but there's no response from the Haeckels team yet. They're probably all frantically packing boxes.

Thanks for the reassurances. Yes, I think I was spoilt last month, it was super speedy!

@bellac11 yes, I think this is the 4th box. I only started with the last one which was perfume and bodywash.

You love me really @Cyclingmummy1, or rather, you will when this month's box arrives 😜

So @Cyclingmummy1 an update from Haeckels:

They sent an email on 1 Aug saying boxes were dispatching but didn't realise that the email didn't actually send because there were too many recipients.

Boxes have been shipping from 1 Aug and will be shipping all the way to Monday (7th).

So hang in there...not long now.

HundredMilesAnHour · 03/08/2023 17:42

Sorry @dullandgrey I should have tagged too in my previous post.

I really liked the green box, but agree that it's not as environmentally sound as it could be. I'm assuming they are looking at something more like liberty beauty drop?

OP posts:
HundredMilesAnHour · 04/08/2023 11:22

I liked the green box too but I guess the magnets aren't as environmentally friendly as they'd like? Haeckels are always innovating. Their packaging has changed (quite significantly) at least 3 times since I started buying their products as they're always looking to be greener. I guess the box change is more of the same. Sounds a bit stressful for them though!

Being shallow, I'm just desperate for the box to arrive as I want a treat 😛

@HundredMilesAnHour me too! But I've been to the hairdressers so maybe that's enough of a treat for this week.

This is my first month subscribing to the box and I'm super impatient to get it!

I know there's no spoilers on this thread, but can anyone fill me in on what has been in previous boxes? I'm really curious and can't find the info anywhere!

Saurus72 · 04/08/2023 12:32

I’m so excited to get mine! I’m really hoping for some lip balm, hand cream and maybe a candle. I’ve loved pretty much everything so far, it’s such a brilliant treat

Saurus72 · 04/08/2023 12:35

@rougechaotic We’ve had a serum, facial oil, perfume, soap, hand/body wash, body lotion, some decent sized (15ml) moisturiser samples. I subscribed from the start and I’m so glad I did, really fantastic products and this is a really good value way to try them out.

rougechaotic · 04/08/2023 12:39

I'm really hoping for perfume, candle, or serum...!

I'd love a candle. I have a candle subscription from a small family run company, I've had it for ages and have loved it, but the last three have been very strong florals which make me sneeze. If this month's is the same, I might cancel.

Fabulous, thank you @Cyclingmummy1 I didn't realise candle subscriptions even existed until I read your post. But Googling has revealed that apparently I'm been living under a rock. Who knew?! Not me apparently. 🙄
