Hello!
I realised that there wasn’t that many reviews on Eggie (I couldn’t find a single review on the mystery boxes anywhere), so I decided to make one! This review is only based on my own experience and is not meant to disrespect anyone.
So, I ordered the jetset box size in small and a dress for my friend in size medium. Now, there are instructions on how to figure out your size, but I must be dumb because I ordered a size small and it was a bit too big for me. I’m more of a size small when it comes to stores such as H&M, Urban outfitters, Forever21 etc. I wish I would have known that before ordering since I might have loved the items more if I bought it in a x-small. Unfortunately, you can’t re-send wrong sizes from the mystery box, which is something to keep in mind!
The jetset box retailed for $70 when I bought it and the box was supposed to contain items worth at least $110. I love the mystery box idea, even though it was super hard to figure out the different codes for the items that might arrive with the boxes: romantic, jetset, boss and life of the party. After my friend asked a person on the site about what one of the boxes might contain, I decided to purchase jetset (disclaimer: on the new Eggie boxes a short description on about what each word mean exist). I was super exited for my items to arrive since I had missed when the last mystery box was shipped out and did not want to take any chances to miss it again. Both me and my friend had cried a little when we saw that the shipping was $50 to Europe and that we still had to pay taxes on that, but sucked it up for the wonderful items we would receive.
It only took about two and a half week for the package to arrive which was wonderful. BUT! A misstake had been made when handling my order and the two items had been shipped separately even though we had purchased them at the same time (conscious choice to lower the tax fee since you need to pay a service fee on that too). It turned out that my package was split in two and that I never got a mail of the other order number. My own package with the mystery box got sent only 2 days after the order had been placed and accepted (amazing!) but for some reason took almost two weeks more than the first package to arrive (damn you postal service). I was anxiously waiting for my package and sent a couple of emails to Eggie about my confusion. They were really good at replying and I give them much respect to that because I had a few problems with my order. Eggie handled it all great and I got a refund on the extra expenses that I had paid because of the mistake and a promise that they would look into it so it wouldn’t happen to anyone again. I’m writing this review a few weeks later and they have hopefully changed the way they handle the orders so that everyone who decide to buy from there won’t have to go through the same hardships as I had to.
So, here is the fun part, aka a collage of pictures of the clothes that I received in the jet set mystery box c:
For reference, I’m usually a size x-small on a great day, but prefer to call myself a size small for consistency. When it comes to pants, I’m a size small, or a size 27, or size 36. And my shirts are usually size small (I suffer from the condition known as very wide shoulders). Rip
Shirts are of a good material and fits good, seems to be of a good quality (from left to right: Emotions Crop T $25, PE TEE $28)
The pants are made for someone who’s at least 7cm taller than me, I’m around 164cm, and preferably have more curves than me too. (Black Rock Overalls $82)
Overall, I liked it. A slightly stressful experience, but it ended well. I’m not sure if I can alter the overalls, so I’ll just have to look for taller friends.
Would I recommend Eggie? Yeah! What really tips the scale for me is that they’ve started to sell clothes that’s supposed to be sustainable. best.idea.ever
