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.

Definitely @SmithfamilyRobinson

No word on mine yet.

Nor mine

AnneShirleysNewDress · 28/09/2023 17:57

No email as yet @Cyclingmummy1

If delivery was via Royal Mail I would guess my speedy delivery is due to having a local sorting office. I guess I am very well located just outside London so the delivery hubs are near!
Another tease - generous voucher included and I actually read the booklet this time as I didn't know what the sample was and there is a mystery teaser in there for the future!

Zoetrope1 · 28/09/2023 18:20

Mine arrived yesterday! I like the products but everything seems a little small really. Only my second box so not sure what to expect!

SmithfamilyRobinson · 28/09/2023 18:23

@Zoetrope1 yes quite a lot of packaging versus contents this time! Don't throw the post card away! I nearly recycled it without reading it. I think the idea is to try the sample from a more expensive product and use the voucher or restock with one of the things you've liked...

rougechaotic · 28/09/2023 18:46

Apparently mine is with Royal Mail but no delivery notice yet… interested to see what these samples are! Will definitely keep the postcard, but I’m trying not to spend any more than the box at the moment so I’m not sure how useful it will be for me!

rougechaotic · 28/09/2023 18:47

Actually, I spoke too soon! It’s now out for delivery tomorrow, so just in time for the weekend!

TheSecretHistoryOfGoldfinchTartt · 28/09/2023 19:31

Nothing arrived here yet

dullandgrey · 28/09/2023 20:20

No email as of yet so still waiting over here!

HundredMilesAnHour · 28/09/2023 20:38

How come you all get yours via Royal Mail? (she types while stamping her feet). Mine comes via stupid DPD Local who I loathe and who last week we caught their courier on cctv coming back to steal a parcel he'd delivered earlier in the day (a £400 speaker belonging to a neighbour). DPD just put the phone down on my neighbour when he's called to report this guy. Here's hoping our courier thief doesn't like Haeckels.

Mine is usually DPD @HundredMilesAnHour maybe they've been switched to RM this month?

I wish @Cyclingmummy1 but unfortunately my email notification says DPD this month. 🙄

Yours has been dispatched @HundredMilesAnHour ? I must be in the last batch 🙄

Just received mine via DPD.
It’s a like for all in the box. I’m going through a very stressful time at the moment so looking forward to trying the biggest item at the weekend.

As a PP said don’t throw the postcards away, they have a value.

@Cyclingmummy1 Mine is still showing as DPD are awaiting it so no chance of delivery today, maybe not even tomorrow. I hate this staggered thing that Haeckels do (mainly because I always seem to be one of the last to be sent despite signing up from the beginning and being a customer for years! 😂More foot stamping from me. 😛)

Yes, mine is also on its way to DPD @HundredMilesAnHour and yes, also hate the staggered delivery. But I suppose it's because it's in house not outsourced like, say, liberty.

AnneShirleysNewDress · 29/09/2023 10:43

DPD are expecting my parcel so should be here by Monday.

HundredMilesAnHour · 29/09/2023 10:46

Must be a good box this month as nothing new has appeared on Vinted or Ebay (yet). 😜

Babysharkdoodoodood · 29/09/2023 12:04

Got mine via dpd this morning.

All I can say without a spoiler is hmmmmm

Saurus72 · 29/09/2023 12:32

Just got mine - all fine but a bit underwhelming tbh. I wouldn’t have chosen to spend £30 on the products. The postcards are a good benefit, on the train now and have brought the little magazine to read.

rougechaotic · 29/09/2023 15:32

I just got mine too - I like it but, like @Saurus72 I wouldn’t have chosen to spend £30 on the products!

HundredMilesAnHour · 29/09/2023 17:52

Mine has arrived (the DPD man didn't steal it, hurray!)

I'm pleased with the sample as it's something I use every day so I'm happy to get a little travel size one. Very handy for my next weekend away.

Saurus72 · 29/09/2023 20:00

Are any of you on the Haeckels Discord? There has been a lot of negative feedback about this box and Haeckels have responded with a pretty open and gracious response - I’ve screenshot the comment below.

@Saurus72 is there a spoiler in the response? I haven't received my box yet so will wait to read it if there is. It's due tomorrow 🙏
