The Parcel – Marie Claire – Is it worth subscribing to?

I was thinking about subscribing to Marie Claire’s The Parcel.
For those who subscribe to it, is it worth it. What type of products do you receive and are they full size or sample or sachet size products.
I’ve noticed they also have an Ageless Parcel but it doesn’t say what the difference is between the two.
It looks like they are bringing a new one out soon which is a womens health parcel, I wonder what will be in it?

    I tried to sign up last month and it said it was sold out!!! So no chance to sign up now.

    Did anyone else have any issues signing up online? I tried to register for an annual parcel subscription via their website after reading the positive reviews here, but the page was filled with bugs and wouldn’t take my address.

    I emailed the company (after having to do a bit of a search for the email address) and the response was very average – just told me to ring instead. The whole experience so far hasn’t been great and doesn’t fill me with confidence about the security of my data or what will happen if there is an issue with delivery.

    Has anyone else had any problems? Is there an alternative subscription service that people would recommend over this one?

    If you’re subscribed to the Ageless Parcel, expect your parcel shortly – mine arrived today in Perth.

    As always, some really good products in it, and of course, easily worth $100+

    In my opinion its got better and better each box!
    The last Health Parcel and Ageless I received were the best Ive ever gotten from any subscription box ever!
    $100+ more value than what I paid for them and all things Id actually use unlike most sample boxes

    I’m thinking of asking for this as a Christmas present with the magazine subscription also…. Have seen a few blogs the last few months saying it’s not so good anymore…. Thoughts?

    I subscribed to the Autumn 2015 box having never had a subscription box ever, from any company so looking forward to seeing whats in this surprise package.

    Most definitely worth it. It’s the only one I bother with now (and still subscribe even though I’m on a spending ban – it’s that good!)

    There’s a big discussion thread here with info on previous boxes, any issues people have had (more earlier on) etc here: http://www.beautyheaven.com.au/forums/industry-watch/new-subscription-box-dot-dot-dot-the-parcel?page=18#comment-2471771

    OMGOSH, yes!!! Definitely worth it. It’s the best beauty box I’ve tried (I subbed to bella box, lust have it and the parcel).

    I’ve only had one box so far and I loved it. I have seen reviews and unboxing videos of previous months and

    They send out their boxes on time, it’s filled with mostly full sized products and it’s affordable at $25 per 3 months.

    Love everything about it!

    So the Ageless Parcel is focused more on anti aging products. I’ve subscribed to both although I’m probably a bit young for that one. In both boxes there’s a nice mix of full sized products and deluxe sized samples – not tiny sachets, but enough product to last you a good few weeks and give you a chance to figure out if a product works for you. They’ve also started including perfume samples in the last few boxes. I find its a nice mix between skincare and makeup, and the makeup is nice colours too, not like they are trying to get rid of unpopular colours. And in my experience they’ve matched colours to my profile.

    Haven’t heard of the Women’s Health parcel, I’ll have to check that out. Sounds kind of vitaminy, doesn’t it?

    I personally think the parcel is worth subscribing to. Have a bit of a google to check out past boxes. Ingrid does some good reviews on them at http://fabulousandfunlife.blogspot.com.au

    Hope that helps!
