Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Saffyra]

If they are going to continue shipping out memeboxes through #16 to International customers, why even do away with International Shipping at all, I wonder :

Unless its just a way to reward current customers for being faithful.  Maybe that's it.

Still, seems counter-productive.  I bet they bring it back once they get a handle on their current customer base.

I'm also getting only one box in April but who knows what's gonna pop out later... I just really can't get anything more in March, I'm so broke!

Oh, it just occured to me I'm not going to be able to buy anything more in April, I still keep forgetting that... Oh well, I'll just save up a bit then, I'll be still getting a bunch of regular boxes. I can't keep up with using up all the skincare anyway /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Maybe they've changed their mind and are not planning to do away with us anymore, I don't know.

I'm quite sure they'll try to bring international shipping back as soon as they get hold of everything, at least that's what they wrote me.

They said their Korean department had real trouble sending boxes to so many countries - maybe it got easier with the new US departments and they've divided the shipping somehow?

I love the products in the memeboxes SO MUCH that I let stuff slide with them, but honestly, I've sent them hundreds of customers, review all of their boxes and as of last week they've completely stopped responding to my e-mails. I have no idea why, either. They said they were sending me box 6 and it never arrived. I e-mailed them to ask if it had shipped yet and asked about the tax issues that you were all wondering about and they haven't responded. I'm a little upset that I kind of worked my butt off to get their name out there and they haven't taken the time to get in touch with me.

I'm too poor to buy the boxes from here on out, so I'm just going to sit and admire everything that everyone else gets, but I will say to be cautious with your money. That's an awful lot of boxes to be buying up front from a company who has changed all kinds of things in just a few months. Not saying they'll be bad, but it's a gamble, as always!
Exactly. Just one box once a month. I think I have 4 boxes coming  and I am being very cautious of ordering any more.

Korean depart sells it for about 34.00 US but the shipping charge is VERY high. http://en.koreadepart.com/shop/item.php/1386138624/

Thank you. Ekkkks the price plus shipping is a turnoff for me. Il just skip it or wait till there is another place that sells it for a better pricing and shipping.

Shipping cost at Koreadepart is consistent more or less with Korea Post pricing http://www.koreapost.go.kr/eng/sub/subpage.jsp?contId=e1010606 +2.50 for tracking/registration. You have to pay 20$ in advance and they pay you back the difference when the parcel is ready and the actual weight is known (for this cream 350g =9.05$) However the price of the cream is ca.35$, and on the product chart it was said 29$.

Since we are all broke but still drooling over Korean cosmetics/ skincare, why not have some fun curating them for our imaginary memebox?

I'm not sure if this is done for other boxes. I hope we will all unite with some creative juices and fun while waiting for our boxes to arrive.

What a cute and creative idea and then let's send it to Memebox and say fill this box please and send it to all of your customers!!! LOL. That would be fun! Should we make it a mixture of makeup and skincare or just makeup or just skin care?? First item: silky balls 5 bags worth at least! : )

Awesome!  Did you see that if you are an International Customer you can choose 10 packets?  I just got 7 packets and 1 bottle /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Edited to add: Whoops! I'm behind on posts and didn't see it had already been mentioned!  Also, I just realized they are based in New Jersey so Im not International! We will see what I end up with /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If you find stuff, can you let us know =) I live in MI and if there is good stuff in/near Chicago, I think hubs could be convinced that we might need a weekend getaway! We don't really have any good Korean beauty stores that I am aware of in our area.

Of course! I think I'll go next Saturday. When it gets closer ill post and you all can post your wish list and I'll see what they have. There is a giant store near my parents house, hoping they have some good stuff

 

[QueenJane]

My lucky box is here!!

 

[Saffyra]

Whoa!  Talk about customer service!  I just emailed them about the social media sample bag and they got back to me in four minutes!

These look just like Benefit Tints ! but at such a more affordable price.
