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.

My box arrived! I’m very happy! There’s a repeat but it’s a product I use so no complaints there.

As long as it's not the seaweed tea again! 😂

@HundredMilesAnHour 😂😂😂

I really liked the tea @HundredMilesAnHour

I really liked the tea @HundredMilesAnHour

@Cyclingmummy1 If it's tea again, I'm posting mine to you 😜

Cyclingmummy1 · 09/01/2024 17:27

Looking forward to it @HundredMilesAnHour 😀

So I'm not sure if I'm gutted or not. 😏My Haeckels delivery arrived a few mins ago. The box was smaller than usual so I thought "oh no, the repeat I was hoping for wouldn't fit this box but at least it's also too small for seaweed tea". Then I opened the box and was disappointed as the 2 things in it were identical to the order I placed recently with Haeckels and I thought what bad timing with my order. Then I realised it was my order! And not the subscription box.

In my defence, I've been pretty ill with Covid these last few weeks and it's been an exhausting day back at work. But I'm also an idiot. 😃The joys of the peri-menopausal brain!

So this means neither of my subscription boxes have even been dispatched yet so I go back to wondering what might be in the box and why @Cyclingmummy1 and I always seem to get ours last.😂

Cyclingmummy1 · 10/01/2024 22:24

Another day and still no sign of a box @HundredMilesAnHour I think we're on the naughty step 😜

Those who haven’t received their box yet, have you had a dispatch email? I haven’t heard anything about mine being dispatched so I assume it will be at least a couple more days before I get it 😢 I’m very impatient!

No email yet. Haeckels posted on Discord that today is day 3 of sending them out so it's quite possible that some of us might not get our boxes until early next week.😓

Must admit that I don't understand why they can't pack them earlier and then they're all ready to send out at the same time at the start of each month.

Mines due to be delivered tomorrow Smile

Cyclingmummy1 · 11/01/2024 06:40

@HundredMilesAnHour that sounds like a more sensible plan.

TheSecretHistoryOfGoldfinchTartt · 11/01/2024 08:48

I’ve heard nothing yet ref dispatch ☹️

rougechaotic · 11/01/2024 12:45

Mine is being delivered this afternoon!

HundredMilesAnHour · 11/01/2024 16:55

One of mine is coming tomorrow. No email received for my second one. Apologies all if I sound slightly stroppy. This winds me up every month. I really should be used to it by now!

What are people hoping for???? I would love perfume and body lotion but I suspect it will be neither. 😂

rougechaotic · 11/01/2024 19:09

I've just received mine and am really happy with it! The repeat I didn't love the when I initially received it in the earlier box but ended up actually liking it and finding it useful so am glad to have another!

Cyclingmummy1 · 11/01/2024 19:32

It's annoying me as well @HundredMilesAnHour particularly as someone has brought it up on discord and Haeckels have replied that they are rotating it. No, except for the first month, I've been amongst the last every time. The Beauty Drop will be here before Haeckels at this rate!

I skipped January... can anyone tell me what they thought of Earth Marine AHA Toner tester? I tried it last night for the first time and it smells foul! I tried their Spiraglow toner and it was OK (subdued scent).
TIA

SmithfamilyRobinson · 11/01/2024 22:23

Sorry meant to add, this toner sample from box 008.
The Spiraglow toner I purchased separately, and liked.

Cyclingmummy1 · 12/01/2024 06:40

I don't like the smell either @SmithfamilyRobinson it's not one I would purchase.

I'd like toner (unscented) and serum. Still no dispatch email.

I tried the AHA toner when they first released it but didn't see/feel any difference so went back to my favourite Superdrug Naturally Radiant one (as that makes a visible difference to my skin).

I am becoming increasingly grumpy. I have 2 subscriptions (2nd one is a gift I gave to a friend but it gets delivered to me on her behalf). I received a despatch email for 1 of them but just had a message from DPD saying it's been delayed and "it is usually resolved within 24 hours" 😡I haven't received a despatch email for the other one.

I apologise for moaning about this year again but I'm so fed up. Mine always seems to arrive so late. It has been 'early' only once (the same time as @Cyclingmummy1 got hers 'early') despite me being signed up from the very first box. So that's Early 1 - Late 7.

I've been a loyal Haeckels customer for many years (since the very beginning when they just had their small lab in Margate) but I'm not feeling like my loyalty is appreciated. In fact I feel like a mug.😥

TheSecretHistoryOfGoldfinchTartt · 12/01/2024 10:44

My box has arrived and it’s a good one. There is a duplicate from a previous box but it’s I a product like and use so that’s not an issue.
