Doesn't even make sense.. and it is further proof that they do not know what they are doing and/or are simply not adhering to what they are suppose to be doing!

 In other words... you can cancel, but only AFTER you've paid for the NEXT box. Grrr.

Hmm, that kind of just sets them up to HAVE to issue a refund if you DO decide to cancel...

LOL-too funny not to share, but my friend just suggested that maybe I was too literal about the boxes, I should of said leakage or product combust...that some people might read that and think-OMG, the boxes did what??! So to clarify, "Numerous people have gotten LEAKY BOXES."

I just spoke to someone in customer service about being charged for July's box today when I didn't even get June's box yet. I was told that it is Glossybox's policy to bill in the beginning of the month and ship at the end of the month. I told the rep that this is not acceptable and she told me I could go online to cancel but they "normally don't issue a refund". My box is still somewhere in NJ and I live in RI - not very far away. I asked the rep why it takes so long to receive the box. I was told that once the boxes are shipped, the delay in transit falls on the US postal service and there is nothing Glossybox can do about it. Talk about passing the buck! Something just isn't right here. I'm going to cancel. I really had high hopes for this service but for the money, the amount of time it takes to get the box and all the other "glitches", it's just not worth it to me. I'll stick with Birchbox.

Last time I checked, Newgistics was not the US Postal Service. Sure, it will eventually be in the USPS' hands, but it first goes through the shipping company that Glossybox has selected. I mean, my log says GB sent it on 6/27, but Newgistics didn't send it out till 7/2. What the heck?

I've already cancelled. The first box was nice, and looked gorgeous. But I don't want the hassle of waiting forever for a box and then be charged for the next month. I haven't seen a charge yet, but will be keeping an eye on it.

Plus for the girls who are being told no refund, are you asking for a refund on the June box or the July box?

I've checked my tracking daily and more; no movement since 6/27 and it started on 6/22.. lame.

Mine did the exact same thing. Its out for delivery now.

Hi Ladies,

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I just called glossybox and told them I haven't received my June box yet and was charged for July already. I told them that I wanted a refund for my July box charge and the customer service rep said that if she were to refund me my money she would have to cancel my subscription - which I was fine with because that's also why I called. So she looked up my account, cancelled my sub, and said that I would be refunded the new charge of $21. I think they've been getting A LOT of calls and facebook messages and emails so they know what people want.

i had an estimate delivery for 7/6 and i just received it. i was excited to try out the ahava but i didn't get that box. but i am loving the shea terra body creme! i am a fan 

 

[xiehan]

Mine came in today, which is good because I just about threw a fit when I saw the estimated delivery was 7/6-7/9. I live in NYC, just across the river from the distribution center. It would've been ridiculous if it took over a week for me to get my box.

I got:

Ahava Mineral Botanic Hibiscus & Fig Velvet Cream Wash

First Aid Beauty Smooth Shave Cream

Ofra Cosmetics Eye Shadow ICE in Dumb Plum

vBeauté Lite Up, Buying Time & Eye Never

Wella Professionals Enrich Moisturizing Treatment

A Perfume Organic sample in Urban Organic
This was my first Glossybox, and I'd give this a score of about 3 or 4 on a 10-point scale. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Not worth $21 (or really, $22.68) to me.

I think the only things I will use are the shave cream and the eye shadow ICE.

The Wella won't work for me because I have thick, frizzy, chemically-treated and color-treated hair. (Isn't that the sort of thing the beauty profile is supposed to avoid??)

I'm not terribly interested in skincare and I have no need for body wash.

Also, I'm pissed off that the perfume sample is less than 1/2 full! It's already a tiny container to begin with, this will give you at most 1-2 uses.
Hopefully I can trade most of these items.

I just got my first GlossyBox!!!  My shipping notification has still not updated since 6/28 and it was expected to be delivered 7/5-7/6.

It was SO fun to open and see what treasures were inside (and see if any of them had exploded...they hadn't!!) and I am so excited to try the products. 

Yippeeeee! The wait for June is over and the speculation for July begins!!

I would like your AHAVA /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Is there anything in my trade thread you want? PM me !

Wanted to give a quick review on the kinerase, mascara and shave cream since I have used them once.

Kinerase - I really like this face cream, it is definitely moisturizing so it may not be for people with really oily skin

Show off Mascara - I like this one, I caution against using more than one coat though, because its not necessary. One coat is more than enough and it lengthens like crazy.

Shave Cream - Nothing too special about it, but it definitely gave a close shave and my legs are so smooth after using /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yep, Newgistics stinks! Once again my box went from West Sacramento to Richmond despite the fact that I live much closer to West Sacramento. There's a big USPS distribution center in West Sacramento so I don't know why it gets sent to the bay area only to come back to the Sacramento area! It may take 2 weeks for me to get my box. Of course I'm also surprised at how long it's taking for people on the East Coast too!

For now I'll just watch what everyone else is getting. 

 

[Linabunnie]

I just got my box... Not too excited!

 

[Denise Moya]

I just got my box and I am not very impressed though many of you loved it. If anyone is interested in trading, the entire box will be on my trade list in a few. 

 

[MissLindaJean]

I think the glitz and hype might be wearing off. It has for me, but I've yet to receive my box lol.
