I will have to investigate thanks for the reminder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-398089 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:41:26 +0000 shopaholic 398089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: From what I could tell, you can post your Wittlebee items that you don't want on that FB page to share with other WB users. I've seen some just straight out selling. I think it's not thru WB processing at all. It's just like a swap/selling page. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-398085 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:38:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 398085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I just got that email! how awesome is that. So they let you exchange it even though you used a promo to buy the box? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-398082 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:36:10 +0000 shopaholic 398082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Oh man! grr! I wish I knew the emoticons for a grumpy face! That sucks! I would definitely cancel! I haven't heard back from them yet since I sent my box back. Sent a 2nd email today to inquire.<br /> Did you see though that they just launched a "Swap" Facebook page today? Maybe you can swap some of the items if they're too small.<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/wittlebeeswap/?fref=ts" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/wittlebeeswap/?fref=ts</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-398035 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:09:06 +0000 T-Mom 398035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I finally got my 2nd wittlebee box today.. They charged me on 10/7 and finally after over a month it arrived. I asked for 12 mo pants since LO is tiny but that was over a month ago that I made those notes. Since then he has gained some weight so I emailed a few days ago asking if I could change the size (seeing as how the box had still not shipped) and they said it was too late. I got three pants/top sets size 12 mo. The tops are too small but the bottoms are fine. The brands are bon bebe, Carter's "watch the wear" and baby works. They are ok but considering only 3 items fit, it's definitely not worth the price this time. Canceling!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-377556 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:33:31 +0000 daniellemybelle 377556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I guess anything you put out there online is for public consumption, but the way they framed that pin was pretty misleading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-376850 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 17:49:36 +0000 immabeetoo 376850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic yes, i've seen watermarks before! I think those or text in a hard to crop place are a good idea. I wish there was a simple way to add them on automatically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375953 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:45:13 +0000 T-Mom 375953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: seems like a good idea about watermarks.. Wonder how hard that is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375857 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:30:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 375857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: that's so funny that Wittlebee themselves pinned your review!! I wonder if they do google searches for wittlebee review that finds posts like these. I actually send them the link to my review on my blog but as far as I know they never pinned it. </p> <p>@scg00387: that was the same issues I had. I ordered from them TWICE and both times they sent me things I specifically said not to. I was pretty peeved. And they don't do returns/exchanges unless you sign up to continue receiving boxes. Like I got a pair of jeans that were damaged (hole in the crotch) so I emailed them about it, and they said they would send me a replacement item "in my next box." When I said I wouldn't order another box, they never replied to me. I was pretty peeved. Why would I order another box when they didn't send me what I wanted in the first place?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375810 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 18:43:43 +0000 Bao 375810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm not sure I would like that personally, I'm too picky and have very specific style for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375767 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 18:03:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 375767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: yes I do think a watermark helps. I just don't know an easy way to do that. Is there an app for that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375694 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:19:19 +0000 shopaholic 375694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: @T-Mom: Maybe a small solution to deter such acts would be to add add a watermark to the images we share? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375689 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:16:25 +0000 shopaholic 375689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Oh my gosh! THAT is AWFUL!!!<br /> I know the limit of what to share and not to share is really so hard to distinguish these days.<br /> I have my own blog, but somehow I've managed to secure it w/out my know how that I can't even pin my own images. I feel like boundaries are really a matter or character these days. I know I PIN a TON of cute babies &amp; kid pictures on my pinterest, and I hope the parents don't mind. But it's all for "oh how cute!" vs. selling a product!<br /> P.S. It IS so crazy how pics travel these days. We had a group pic from a bachelorette party in Vegas show up on a club flyer for somewhere in San Diego (I think). One of the girls saw it and sent it to us on FB and we all thought it was SO creepy, but not sure how/what kind of action we could take! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375685 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:14:10 +0000 immabeetoo 375685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@t-mom makes me sick :( :( I know that is an extreme example.. but still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375681 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:12:16 +0000 T-Mom 375681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Wow that's just crazy!!??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375675 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:09:07 +0000 immabeetoo 375675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@t-mom @shopaholic yes... I think about that even when I post bump pictures :/ This recent example is a more inttense version of my worst nightmare - my photos being used for something I am personally against: <a href="http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2012/06/27/gay-couples-engagement-picture-attack-ads-colorado-statehouse-races/75130/?doing_wp_cron=1351893770.9071030616760253906250" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2012/06/27/gay-couples-engagement-picture-attack-ads-colorado-statehouse-races/75130/?doing_wp_cron=1351893770.9071030616760253906250</a></p> <p>I've also read recently about a blogger's baby pics being photoshopped into some online store's ad and there are multiple instances of people creating fake blogs/facebooks etc. pretending someone else's family is theirs. </p> <p>BUT on the other hand, I love seeing other peoples' pictures! :/ I don't know the right answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375662 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:59:58 +0000 shopaholic 375662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Oh that is so funny! I didn't realize that Wittlebee pinned the pic themselves until @scg00387: posted link! Selective choice of what they promoted about my review!<br /> P.S I've had to return the whole box, including the Tea leggings I liked for an exchange. Will post an update when I get my new box!</p> <p>@scg00387: Interesting point on the pics. I think I will love sharing pics, but I wouldn't want LO used to sell stuff I didn't know about.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375658 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:55:12 +0000 T-Mom 375658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: good reminder that anything I post can be propagated on the WWW .. Food for thought </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-375637 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:42:00 +0000 immabeetoo 375637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thehistoryofus I was JUST going to say that. I was curious if stuff was posted from the boards (I go back and forth if I want to post pictures of our baby once he is born) and searched for the bee boards as a source and @shopaholic they pinned your post and highlighted the positives in the text <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/265571709248078210/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/265571709248078210/</a> - but your post made me think I'd never, ever order a box from them if they blatantly disregard style choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-374196 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:50:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 374196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: FYI. I just saw the picture of the tea leggings here was pinned by on Pinterest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368895 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:28:33 +0000 shopaholic 368895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: Glad I could satisfy your curiosity! I think this 1st exchanged for 2nd box will satisfy mine too! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368889 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:18:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 368889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: BTW, your post totally satisfied my curiosity about Wittlebee! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368888 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 01:16:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 368888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like The Tea Collection leggings, but the others isn't my style either. Wittlebee isn't offered here but even if it was, I like to pick out my own things so I don't think I'd order from them. I do love a good deal though, which can be a little tricky with a constantly growing LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368882 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:37:55 +0000 autumnlove 368882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have too much fun picking out her clothes and don't think I would ever order a subscription like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368879 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:30:28 +0000 banana 368879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too much of a control freak to sign up for wittlebee box. haha. I like buying my own stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368830 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:28:31 +0000 shopaholic 368830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@princessbaby - Oh I KNOW I have better luck picking out stuff myself too. Curiosity just got the best of me and it's just like getting a gift or surprise! But then I forget that I almost always return or exchange gifts! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368827 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:26:35 +0000 PrincessBaby 368827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think some of the stuff is cute, but I am too picky about things to leave shopping up to chance:) This is a great idea for like a Dad or something who needs to shop for a LO, but I am so particular about what I like/don't like, that I would find something wrong with everything...I'm better off picking my pieces out one by one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368822 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:23:57 +0000 shopaholic 368822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-mom - I hear you. I got a reply from WB today and was told I have to send EVERYTHING back for exchange, not just the 4 items I didn't like. It's going back tomorrow and we'll see how the exchange box comes. I'd love to hear how your 2nd box goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-368805 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:15:55 +0000 T-Mom 368805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I really love those tea leggings but agree that everything else is not as cute. However, I feel like everything looks cute on babies! I am waiting on my 2nd box. They seem to be having growing pains. It's almost the end of the month and I still haven't seen my box. Also, their business model isnt quite perfect. They say they will follow your notes, but at the end of the day, if the have x inventory of a certain brand, they have to put it in people's boxes even if no one wants it, you know? If this box isn't amazing, I think I'll cancel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-first-wittlebee-box-review#post-366872 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:16:50 +0000 shopaholic 366872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cocobee - LOL! Maybe it's the blogger/yelper/tripadvisor reviewer in me! But yeah, I loved your comprehensive review as well! I also sent them a version of this post to see what their response is! Overall I like the Tea Collection onesie and leggings the most. The Bon Bebe outfit is okay enough to keep, but just not worth it if I can get it for $7! I'd be game to order another box just because I think it's a pretty fun surprise, but not at $40/mo, every single month. We'll see what their response is! LOL! </p>
