GlossyBox - June 2012

[Missyrocks]

Agreed on everything. Not to mention that on their FAQ it is stated that you are able to CANCEL at any time as long as it is 2 weeks before shipping of the next box.. umm hate to state the obvious here, but how is that even possible if you are charged 3-4 weeks PRIOR TO SHIPPING?? 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!

EXACTLY! I'm underwhelmed with pics in box because still don't have box from June. Too expensive and not worth it. I'm going to cancel.

My box updated today as being out for delivery.  When I got home, there was no box, but a notice from the USPS that I had a package they were holding at the post office.  The package is coming from "beauty trends"--is that how Glossybox ships?  I work days, so will be really frustrated if I have to be home to sign for this each month or have to go to the post office to pick up.  Thanks for your advice/experience. 

Yep, Beauty Trends is Glossybox.  I didn't have to sign.  It seems like this happened last time around:  Some postal carriers will require a signature if they don't think that there is a safe place to leave your stuff.  My carriers usually leave stuff at the door (including one time when I came home to find something like *five* boxes just stacked right on top of each other), but there was one who felt that a package wouldn't be safe if it was left on that particular day, which was odd because there have been days when I've come home to five boxes stacked on top of each other.  One time, they left a box that contained somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars' worth of perfume oil.  The one with the pickup slip?  About six hundred dollars' worth of perfume oil.  It just depends on the specific person dropping off the mail.

I don't have to sign for my boxes but I have a vestibule that locks and locked mailboxes (not that the glossybox can fit inside them but my Birchbox does) so the mail carriers have to use a code to get in.

Im pretty much putting my whole box up for trade. Keeping shaving cream & still kind of on the fence about the mascara. So if anyone wants to swap anything, just thought i'd let u all know first.

I got my box today and overall I'm happy with it but I do have some concerns. I think for the price they could do a much better job on the shipping and actually get it to us within that same month.

Also I didn't get a Glossy mag? Were we all supposed to get one or only the new subbies? No big deal either way I've just seen some others posting pictures of it so was curious.

How much is the value of this month's box?

 

[xine]

My box came today and I love spoilers, so I already knew what was in it - so no disappointment with the products (though I could've definitely been happier)... but MAJORLY disappointed that the Ahava body wash top was unscrewed and the top part was flipped open. Double trouble.

So...about 80% of the body wash leaked all over the box.

Everything was coated. It took me about 30 minutes to get everything thoroughly cleaned out and I'm pretty sad about not being able to re-used the nice box. Also, the perfume was about 75% empty. 

I tried to call the number on the website and it went straight to voicemail every time (sounded like a cell phone voicemail, too, but said "Glossybox" as the owner...kind of weird...) I submitted an email via the form on the website. Hopefully I'll hear something back soon. I guess if I don't hear anything by Friday, I'll try tweeting or facebook. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'd love to trade for the mascara if you decide not to keep it.

@xiehan, it's actually perfume oil and supposed to go on your wrists! it's VERY intense once it's on your skin, you just need a tiny dab that you rub in. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Interesting... hadn't realized that. Thanks! Still, fragrances are not my thing. I just wish if it were intended to be such a tiny sample, they'd have found a more suitable vial for it. I still can't help looking at it and feeling like I got gipped because the sample is half-empty. (But, I suppose I consider myself lucky since I seem to be one of the few for whom nothing seems to have leaked.)

I have never had to sign, but GB does ship in a box labeled "Beauty Trends".

This was my second box, and I got the mag, so I think it was supposed to be in everyone's box!

Yeah, so my bottle of Ahava was 100% empty when I opened my box just now!!

I am not havin it!! This is a $21.00 box there should be NO leakage whatsoever.  I just emailed, tweeted, and posted on their wall about it.  I hope they fix this fast!  I also want a new box, it was completely ruined also /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 I had the same problem. Not as much as you, but still had a problem. I emailed them and are hoping they take care of it. I was really disappointed.

 

[MyriadVoices]

Is anyone else unable to give feedback for Glossydots for this box? Are they waiting until all the boxes have been delivered to put the surveys up? I was able to complete last month's with no problem, but now I'm getting worried. I love giving feedback for the samples received. I actually quit Eco-Emi partly because there is no feedback option.

So it seems - so far- those of us who got the AHAVA got faulty bottles. I've posted on AHAVA's wall as well and suggest you guys do the same.

Good idea. I just posted on their wall also.

 

[murflegirl]

I wasn't charged today, since I still haven't changed my cc info on the cc that got compromised.

Seeing all these issues, I'm hesitant to change it at all.... I may put my Serve card info in when it gets here. 

Just undecided thus far!

My box hasn't moved in 2 days. :-/

 

[glamourdolleyes]

I received the ahava and didn't have any issues.

 

[internetchick]

I got my box today, and my Ahava emptied into my box. The bottle was practically empty. It even pooled at the bottom. I sent an email with pics to Glossybox. Why didn't they tape the lid? The majority of companies do to prevent this from happening.
