Did any of you get it? If so, did you get the regular PL box like it's been for over a year or did you get the new cheap squished box with the elastic thing?
I got the icky box and don't like it at all. I would have liked to know they were changing it. I considered canceling my subscription last month and didn't.
If this new box is what the kit will be in I'm fairly certain this is my last month to sub
How about you?

I don't have a sub but have seen quite a few comments on the new boxes - mostly negative. They sound pretty flimsy and apparently don't travel well. Guess they're cheaper than the previous ones!

They did make a blog post about the change about a month ago with a video that showed how you could reuse it a few times then toss it. Does it come just I. That box in the mail or that box in another box? If it's shipped in that one I could see lots of problems with it b.c the video showed how easy you could fold it up and about it being Eco friendly.

I don't really care what kind of box it is in but if my kit weighs or costs less to produce, you best be filling it with some yummy embellishments or something to cover the difference. I didn't really use the nicer boxes for anything other than storing my kits or random embellishments. Sometimes I'd send a RAK in them so everything would stay nice.

My box wasn't squished, so I guess the box worked. I prefer the look of the old box much better. However, I just collected the boxes and never figured out what to do with them. I also like that these are recyclable.
The new boxes are plain (not buying the "cute" angle SC is trying to sell.) However, they are functional.

There was nothing extra in the box to make up for the much cheaper new boxes. In fact, the kit seemed smaller than usual. I guess it's time to cancel my sub:( |

I was actually using the old boxes every month. I divide up my BH kits and give them to my DD and DGD in those boxes.
Bummer. The new ones won't hold up well for that
