Stay.on.track.Tiffany!!! Lol

My husband is British.  For a while we long-distance dated so I spent a lot of time in London.  There was a period when it was like $2.20 to the pound.  PAINFUL.  

(And I still visit Boots and Superdrug on every visit just to poke around and see what new beauty product I can find.  Drugstore products are so much more fun in other people's countries.)

I understand the currency really is painful. I was thinking saving up for a year you know n but it doesn't mean that we have to buy them all. We could visit factories or headquarters to gather samples. Kinda like a group tour price. It's one of those ideas.

Doesn't Target sell Boots now? I've tried one of their foundations and haaaaated it.

Really? I didn't like boots too much. The skincare was too watery. I started a new thread for August since its a week away. https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/136908/glossybox-august-2013

That's a good idea, beauty discoveries in other countries. I  love going to my local German drugstores and have discovered a few products I love. Whenever I visit another country I try and go to the drugstores its always interesting to see beauty products from other countries.

I love French pharmacy products. Thankfully, it's readily available in the U.S., but there are some items like Bioderma makeup remover that's super difficult to find and marked up. French drugstores > American drugstores.

So, someone at Glossybox finally responded to my emails with this:

Dear Lisa,

I tried looking into your account to dig up your tracking info, but it seems you cancelled your subscription on June 16. That is why an order wasn't generated for your July box.

Even if you used the dots, canceling your subscription meant no more boxes were going to be generated or sent to you.

Not to worry, we are shipping you a July box right from our office via FedEX (tracking no is 20*82***5004**8) - you should get the box next week!

Have a great weekend!

Our Glossy Best,

Your GLOSSYBOX Team"
  They basically told me that it was my fault for not receiving a Glossybox because I canceled, even though Alex from Glossybox told me this:     [SIZE=80%]JUN 14, 2013  |  11:57AM EDT

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for writing in! Yes, in order to not be charged for your July GLOSSYBOX, you would need to cancel your subscription. Best,
Alex From The GLOSSYBOX Team

At least I know I have a box on the way, but I still don't get how to apply Glossydots and not get charged/receive two boxes per month (one free/one paid).

OMG....I have a bizarre email story to tell too! So I received my box on Saturday, and I promptly emailed them because I received the Evologie which is a repeat for me from February's box. I was very polite and nice and asked why I received a repeat, etc. and I received this today:

Hi,

I reviewed your account and it shows that your JULY box is shipping out early this week. You will be receiving a confirmation email along with your tracking number soon.

I sincerely apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience. I know that you have been waiting patiently for your JULY box.

I have added 200 GLOSSYDOTS to your account for the inconvenience.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact our office at any time.

Um....hello....lol....I HAVE my July Glossybox! Apparently they didn't read my email at all! I sent a reply back immediately and somebody replied to that within 5 minutes with an apology and asked me to give them a list of 5 items from previous boxes so they can send a replacement. Also, I didn't get the 200 glossydots which would have been nice since I'm at 990. Oh well. I did tell them in my reply that I found it strange that my account shows that my box is shipping out when I already have it.

::sigh:: Weird!

 

[reepy]

My July box still hasn't arrived and the expected delivery date keeps getting pushed later and later and later.   I emailed them on Friday and today  they sent me that same apology note (which does apply in my case obviously)....frustrating.  I know this is a surprising thing to say, but this is the first time I've had any real issues with GB and I've been with them since the beginning.  But this is SUPER ANNOYING.
 

 

[jayeme]

My July box arrived, and it had the evologie, which I already have because I got a free sample from the company. So I can't complain to Glossybox, but I'm still disappointed. So not impressed with this month's box. I'll probably use everything, but I'm not really excited about it, it's just kind of there and I can take it or leave it. 

Also my tube of lip balm had broken somehow :/

 

[SubJunkie]

Honestly my box still hasn't shipped out yet. Unfortunately all they told me is that they're in the process of shipping my box out. No glossydots offered I'm so annoyed with them....I should have just stayed away instead of buying that one year sub. 

Update: They shipped out my box then the replied to my email  :/

This happened to me too.  I keep logging in to see if there was a status change, but the approximate delivery date keeps getting pushed one day later. Ugh.

I still have not received tracking for the two boxes I ordered either and no status change on the website.

 

[MzKayleeJames]

Inviting myself on your beauty trip to Europe! Can we all just slumber party it up in one hotel room so we can spend more money on beauty products??

Oh yes! And then at the end of the day try out some of the goodies and have a par-tay! I'm SO down!

 

[Sunflowercake]

Got my box Saturday. Same stuff as everyone else including the color whick looks pretty good on my toes, I must say! I was pissed to see the stupid blemish stuff again and e-mailed them. Let's see if they answer me since I had cancelled.

 

[Tiffany27la]

Ever since Lexxie and I are first started talking about it, it seems lots of people are really interested...I'm going to get with her to discuss some details, and then we'll probably get a thread started for all those who are either genuinely interested, or just want to live vicariously through us! Either way, I think we're on to something here! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
