Is anyone willing to trade their Shea Terra, any scent, for the Wella Moisturizing Treatment? PM if so.

I actually love this product I have curly hair and it made my hair so easy to brush thru. I thought I'd only get one use out of it but there is half left over to use for another night. I think I will actually be buying this product it left my hair so soft , how did you guys like it after you left in for few minutes? Same effect?

I used it as a leave in. So on my damp hair I applied a bit to my ends and left it. I really liked it! It smells awesome and my hair was quite soft.

I've been trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible, but it's kind of hard when it's been such a long wait for me. I got my tracking number on the 29th and I'm still waiting on my June box. Like, wtf? I guess I can wait another couple of days. It does say delivery should be on the 10th or 11th, but my tracking still hasn't updated from MD. This is the cruddiest, slowest shipping ever. Is anyone else still waiting for their box? :-( I know some of you ladies have canceled... I can totally see why. 

I checked their UK site and it seems they have just as many issues and apply just as much care (ha) into answering their customer's queries. Sad. 

I heard they're trying to ship boxes out the third week of the month starting either this month or August. I really hope that helps. I feel like they're cutting corners with shipping. Newgistics must be the cheapest option for them, hence why it's so slow. As I said, my shipping ETA is July 10th-11th. It honestly feels like they're milking every day of that. lol.... Like my box is sitting on a shelf until the estimated delivery date pops up on the calendar. 

Anyway... Will update with pix and stuff when I get my box. Just sad... Wanted to vent to you ladies. :-(

Yep, I'm still waiting on my box, so I share your frustration.  Originally I was estimated to get my box anywhere from the 6th to the 9th, but it didn't come today.  This evening, my tracking FINALLY updated after sitting since July 2nd and it looks my box is at the post office near me and should be delivered tomorrow.  Of course, it's kind of a let down when everyone else has had theirs for what seems like forever!  I'm not too impressed with the shipping, either.

I haven't been billed yet. I called GlossyBox today because I just wanted to make sure they got my new (serve) card information.

She said if I haven't seen a charge by Friday, I should sound the alarm - they haven't done any charging yet this week.

Hope that helps those who haven't been charged yet!

Honestly they should be ashamed of themselves charging us for shipping ( I am sure thats why its 21.00 instead of 10 or 15 a month) and using the cheapest/slowest/crappiest shipping method they could find. 

I received 2 emails saying that the July boxes are now open... thanks but no thanks !!

Does anyone know if I can cancel my six month subscription and get some of the money back?

I believe none of the services allow you to cancel when you've prepaid and get a refund. I know BB/GB/and MG are like that. I could be wrong but I think some links were posted last month about this.

ETA: This is from GB terms and conditions.

If you cancel, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.

 

[Baberanza]

I caved and resubbed...I lasted long, lol. But this time I resubbed using my prepaid serve card. =)

 

[princess2010]

Has anybody changed their payment method via the website? I'm hoping when I go to change it that nothing gets messed up.Thus far I've had 0 problems with GB and I'd like to keep it that way!

Very nice! I like that locket and that's a neat idea to use the locket for oil rather then applying the scent to your skin.

After much indecision, I think I'm going to cancel.  At $23.05, I didn't find either box particularly worth it.  

Don't get me wrong, the first "paid" box was good but the Birchboxes have been worth as much value wise and at less than half (+ points).    This month I got what I think was the crappier box: no Kinerase, no Shea Terry, and no mascara (wah!).  

The eye-shadow is not that great based on swatches I've seen.  I may try it if no one wants to trade for it - and I won't be that picky just want it gone!   I'm cool with the shaving cream, hair conditioning product, and body wash (which thank goodness was intact!) but neither of those are high-end or pricey samples.  But the eye shadow and those itty bitty V-beaute things - ugh.  The size of those actually turn me off of the brand entirely, it seems rude to use those ad promotional items on a high-end sub.  If I love something, I'll actually cough up dough for it so V-beaute's loss...and Glossyboxes.

I will get their next box.  It's paid.  I figure if they blow me away I can re-sub since they seem to have lots of openings.  But I don't think they are a good value for the money.  Especially with their slow shipping.  Their GlossyDot points take a loooonnnnngggg time before you see any advantage to them - which is a bummer.  

It makes me appreciate and love Birchbox more and more!

I had to update my info on the website and had no issues.  Good luck! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

[BFaire06]

Bummer! I just did a budget and realized how much money I spend on beauty products and was looking to cut some corners!

 

[PaulaG]

I received the Mascara box, I'll trade the mascara for a SheaTerra (any scent).  PM me.

Edit: I did open the Mascara to see if it was goopy, dried out or normal. It looks like a normal new mascara to me.

 

[BabyMafalda]

Nicole replied to my email, and Glossybox are going to send me a new box!!!! So happy now!!!

I am also waiting, last update was July 6th. Still in NJ ;( I had to cancel. I will probably get my July birch box before this one. It is a huge disappointment.

 

[Kittables]

I'm sorry. I know. The shipping is just very slow. If I didn't like the products so much, I would cancel, too... :'( 

To the person above me, try putting your tracking number into newgistics.com. That actually showed me an update. Apparently, mine had left MD right away and had been on its way to South Florida since July 3rd. So, it took a few days... 

...but I got it. :-D


             I can't believe how anxious I am to get this silly, little box every month. :- I'm on pins and needles waiting for this thing to arrive. lol. Does anyone else feel the same way? Anyway, love what I got. There's also a perfume, but I put that off to the side and forgot to take pix. Very pungent. It reminds me of the natural oils a friend gave me to soothe my headaches. I think there must be lavender in there...? Maybe they realized what a headache they would give me beforehand with the slow shipping and decided to throw in the natural oil. hahaha Anyway, I'm gonna go play with my box.
