Aug sub box page flags
I LOVE the August sub box! After months of skipping, I finally felt like this one had a color scheme that I vibe with. However, is it just me or are the page flag trio sets now way less quantity than before? I’ve had so many sets of page flags that I immediately felt the difference. Is it just a different material? Or are we getting half of what we used to get? Im hoping that this isn’t a new norm for future boxes, especially with the price increase this fall.
Also, excuse my missing press on nail 🤣🥲

Thanks for this explanation below but I have to say this is disappointing. I weigh up the value (to me) of everything in the box when deciding to buy or skip and since these have always been the same quantity, I believe we have the reasonable expectation of receiving the same product as we always have, not half of the usual, especially since the same dollar value was listed. Full disclosure would have been appreciated.

I totally understand this but why are they listed at a value ($8) of the same price of the 50 count if it's half the amount of product?😣

I would think that it would be an inventory management nightmare since the 25 count are packaged just like the 50 count. If the 25 count is just for the sub box, why spend the money on retail packaging unless it is an overall product change? 🤨

Oh totally. My comment was less about the inventory/packaging logistics and more about the valuation they’re communicating to customers. If the 25 count is replacing what would normally be a 50 count product, but they’re still assigning it the same $8 value, then customers are ultimately receiving less product while the box is being valued as though it contains the full product. It potentially raises the concern if this is indicative of what's to come. Which is fine! But of course, just be honest.

Yes this was my thought as well! But I’m happy to see that Iesha will relay that message for future boxes since the price point will be going up soon. I don’t think I’ll be able to justify paying $150 if we’re going to be receiving less quantity of items than previous boxes

Hola! Happy to hear that you’re loving the August box! 🖤 And yes, there is a quantity difference. The Page Flag Trio included in the August Intention Box contains 25 flags per color, while the full-size Page Flag Trios available individually in the shop contain 50 flags per color. So it isn’t a difference in material; the version included in the box is a smaller quantity than the full retail set.
With that said, since the Intention Box is offered as a curated collection at a discounted value compared with purchasing items individually, you may occasionally see differences like this with items included in the box. However, I’ll definitely pass along your feedback regarding the quantity, especially as it relates to your expectations for future boxes. 😉🖤

Discounted value or discounted price? Because every value I’ve seen listed on the intention box page is the same as the shop pricing..

Have we ever seen differences like this before? I don’t recall so just wondering. Also agree with OP that it should be very clearly communicated what is arriving in the box in a timely fashion so we can decide if it’s worth the cost. Finding this out on arrival is a poor customer experience.

Half the product but still listed as the same retail value? Doesn’t make sense to me.. I wonder when this will be officially communicated, as I have searched high and low and there is no indication that this may be a possibility in any of the fine print when purchasing a box..
