Julep September 2014 (SPOILERS)

[Lumaday]

I called them just to ask about why I was told I didn't have any more months but others were getting this month too even though we signed up on the same day.  She basically said that yes the welcome box counted, so I did get 3 boxes (true) and that the code I used gave me a big discount to begin with so there wasn't much they could do (I agreed - I did get an awesome deal, I just wanted to see what they would say about the discrepancies).  I just told her I was confused and slightly frustrated about it all, and a little sad that I didn't use my Jules last month because I thought I had another month to go.

 
She said they are working on updating the website so it explains clearly about the sub and welcome box counting, and so it's easier to see for sure how many more months you have.  I hope they actually do that.
Anyway she was super nice and I got through almost immediately so if some people were waiting 1+ hours to get through that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

She did give me a code good til the 24th for a free polish with a $10 purchase - code IKNOWHER.

Have fun you Julep people, and maybe I'll be back one day if I sub again!  Hope they get a lot of these bugs worked out for you all going forward.

I'm liking those October colors. Totally justifiable to get an upgrade in your birthday month, right?

 

[jesemiaud]

I decided if I'm going to have to deal with it, I might as well have a little fun with it...

So I'm sending my own carefully curated 'complimentary box' right back to Julep today:

All better now.   :smilehappyyes:

Late to the party, but this is so awesome!

@@shutterblog I totally love it!!! This would have me cracking up if I was the employee to open it. As for October, I really hope they will incorporate some fun finishes. Just at a glance the colors look like several dupes. But I don't know. Does anyone know what the finishes are?

 

[Laurenv78]

I'm actually looking forward to my September choices.  I don't have a gray yet and dark reds are a favorite.  Looking at the October sneak peek, if that's accurate, it's an easy skip....thank goodness...my bank account needs a sub box break!

 

[mandithomas89]

So happy! I called yesterday to ask if I could skip September since I'm moving and the guy was super nice and did it right away. The whole conversation took less than 2 minutes and within the hour, I got a confirmation email.

Hoping October is awesome since it's my bday month and I have 2750 jules I want to use up!

 

[biancardi]

I found it on polish jinx's blog.  Meh, I wont be able to skip fast enough next month.

I like those colors, but I have a lot of those colors already.. skippidy...

I pretty much only like light, bright happy colors...which usually means I don't buy any polish all fall until holiday sparkly things come around. I guess I'll be spending fall building my 2nd polish rack, since the first one filled up long ago.

 

[latinafeminista]

Thanks to @latinafeminista 

I totally value your reviews so I am skipping this month based on your input of the dry shampoo. The Girl on the Go box was the only box I was really interested in based on the value but I already have Kendra, already have two Julep top coats, got a Caudalie multi purpose oil from Sephora and don't need a dry shampoo that doesn't work. 

Thanks again girl! 

Glad I could help! You'll have to let me know what you think about that Caudalie oil, I've been dying to try one of those! 

 

[Lolo22]

I checked late last night and it was still saying I had a credit applied to this month so I'm just going to wait and see what happens.  If they do try to charge me and the charge fails, I will be ok with that since I don't have any real strong feelings about this month.  In a way, I hope that does happen, because then it means that the CS people weren't lying to those who cancelled.

It's probably not worth mentioning anymore but there were tons of polishes added to the savvy deals section this morning. I think they are mostly sold out now but I believe the sale lasts a few days so maybe the will restock, who knows.  I saw the sale, took a shower and when I got out most everything was gone.

 

[Ryan Chamberlain]

There's so many good polishes in the Savvy Deals section. Problem is. They are all sold out.

I did manage to score Ingrid though. Such a nice orange for fall.

The only one I was able to get that I wanted was Madeline.  I really really wanted Ginger and Meryl, but no dice. And I signed on to it immediately after getting the email.

So I just checked the credit card that I use with my super-cheap 3 month Julep sub.  The pending charge reflects the cost of one add-on polish, plus tax (about $7.50).  So it appears that September is still covered under that original subscription.  So if you were able to take a chance on not being charged for a new sub (which know some people couldn't risk) -- looks like the gamble probably paid off.

We'll see what happens next month.  I no longer have enough Jules associated with that account to cover even 1 add-on, so if they are going to charge me for another 3 month sub, I will just cancel the account.

It also appears that they are trying to update the section where they show Maven boxes in the My Orders section to reflect subscription and use of Jules.  It may not include discounts, though, since it shows that I'd be charged $10.35 and I was charged a few dollars less than that.  But it's better than seeing $48!

Edited to fix spelling.

 

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Well. I re-did my order again at the last minute. Took off Ana as an add on..and got Quinn instead.

I'm getting all 3 of the satin polishes. Yay!

That's a relief!  I checked too and mine says my total for September was $0.

 

[mollybb]

I had the cheap three month sub and I wasn't charged either. My order on Julep's site says it was $0, so I don't think they will try to charge me later. I wonder what will happen next month because it said I had another prepaid month after this one. Hopefully they figure out what's going on at some point.

 

[MissTrix]

I ended up choosing the Boho Glam box with Magenta Plum Plush Pout and I used the bonus jules from the secret store promo to pay for it. I was also fortunate enough to hit the Savvy Deals sale early and managed to snag 3 polishes from my wish list: Chelsea, Portia, & Evie, plus the grey wrap bracelet and I threw on Eva using the COLORFORYOU code. All said and done, I'm getting 6 polishes, the Plush Pout, and a bracelet for $20.96. Not bad!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
