Haeckels subscription box

[Cyclingmummy1]

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.

Hurray!! Glad it's been worth the wait for you @Lotsofpots

For those of you who aren't using Discord, this post there makes it sounds like the next box is more promising. Here's hoping!

And we're already over half way through the month!

What was in this month's box, please?

@Housewife2010 October? Bath salts, a mini candle and a sample of facial wash.

Thank you.

If I subscribe, please can you tell me what date they take the money. I can't find it on their website.

@Housewife2010 mine is taken about now and boxes are usually despatched in the last couple of days of the month and into the first week of the next.

Thank you

Wishes for this month? I bought using the discount voucher,
Algae pump Serum &
Spiraglow Hydrating toner.
Both I would recommend and repurchase although the toner was more expensive than high street versions but it was very gentle.

@Housewife2010 Mine was taken out 17 Oct for the next (November) box. It's usually the same date for me every month.

I'd like a toner too and an exfoliating block but I think there's something coffee related.

I've just ordered my first box. Hopefully it will be a good one.

Ah yes! I'd forgotten about the big coffee hint. Seems like ages since we had that discussion @Cyclingmummy1

I'd like a body wash or body lotion or basically something big that clearly isn't sample sized. 😛

I'd like a body wash, and yes, full size products please 😍

I actually signed back up after Haeckels seemed to address the issues with the last box - so I have quite high hopes for this one! I would love fragrance, moisturiser, or serum - not sure how coffee fits into those though!

I decided to stay subscribed in the hope that this box will be really good to make up for the previous one! I have been enjoying the bath salts and face wash but I was really disappointed with the size of the candle considering it was supposed to be a full size.

Do you think rather than coffee, that the box may have a holder for the metal casing for the candle?
Thinking that hot liquid and metal are not a good combination, eg. Burnt fingers.

@SmithfamilyRobinson I was wondering about the practicality of using the metal casing as a coffee cup when I accidentally touched it just after the blowing the candle out and it burnt my fingers! Although if they are sending a casing then I don't really understand why we would need the metal part??

I've cancelled my sub after this October box. Been pretty underwhelmed and I noticed, too late to flag up after receiving the box, that the tiny sample of face wash in last month's box was not even half full. It hadn't spilt/leaked. Whilst I loved the scent of the candle, it was small and in a very impractical holder for an object that could get really hot! Wanted to love it but 🤷‍♀️ . Have really enjoyed all the samples in the Liberty box, though.

@rougechaotic something for it to slot into with a handle?

I'm not sure about a holder - what if this is your first box?

So I set up a new subscription this month (as a surprise gift for a friend) and had an email today saying it's on its way.

Yet my own original subscription (from the very first month) has no notification. I'm wondering if they prioritise new subscribers for delivery? Or if I'm just a grumpy old mare. Possibly both. 😂

I think they prioritise new subscribers - my first box was really early then every month since I've been towards the end.

But good news that they are on their way 😍

My box 007 will be delivered today... but I am away until Thursday! DS22 is at home... won't be asking him to open it so will have to sit tight!

My (new subscription) box has arrived and I think you will all be very happy. I'm happy (well, apart from the fact that my original subscription box hasn't even been sent yet but patience has never been one of my virtues).

No spoilers of course (if anyone is desperate to know, PM me).
