Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[cfisher]

I waited for the $5 off coupon to grab a couple of the value sets that I wanted. Kicking myself a little bit now. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, those US value sets don't even count. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

They have to give us SOMETHING worth spending our money on by the end of the month. Isn't this when they're supposed to be taking in most of their profit for the year? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My mom helped with the decrease in CPM2 boxes! She bought one after I showed her the serum and appletox, and wanted it for them. She'll get use out of the other items as well. Looking forward to Dirty Girl spoilers. Had it in my cart a bunch of times and kept changing my mind.

I think that one of the last boxes they will ship out this year is going to be the Luckybox 12. Maybe next year they will move on and won't be bringing out new boxes and will be focusing more and more on the shop and on their line (cf. the article that was posted about Memebox wanting to only sell their line). We might not even be bothered that much by next year, if we don't get new boxes by then.

@@biancardi I was randomly thinking about it last night...And it sort of registered how weird it must be for those that aren't members of MUT or Memebox Addicts, and are just wondering what on earth happened to all of their pretty pink boxes?

This whole business model just baffles me. The fact it's been over a month and they can't send out some sort of email or even just post a little something on their Facebook, ...I really can't even fully process it. I can't make any sense of any of it.

But it's definitely exhausting at this point.

Tbh I have a feeling that after I get my empress's secrets bundle memebox isn't going to give me a reason to bother or care anymore

 

[Amy1234]

I don't think we will get any new boxes this month. They have their 12 day countdown starting next week but that looks like products rather boxes..

Maybe next year...

I agree with you, this is looking increasingly likely.

I at least hope they put some good deals on some products and PLEASE, don't make it just US only!!

 

[Mahsa]

Tbh a good business would never make such drastic changes so suddenly to warrant a big announcement after the fact, or they would make an announcement and then make the changes. I understand that the way things have gone we are looking for answers, but nothing about what's happened this last month is good business practice.

@@cfisher I agree. What annoys me most is that we know they read, if not the emails, the comments on here and on Facebook. So why are they keeping quiet?

They might be moving on from the boxes that made them so popular, but I wouldn't be half as mad if they told us something, if they brought out some statement. By not saying anything they are fueling hope for new boxes, updates, great boxes and that is what is most disappointing i think

 

[Amy1234]

To be honest they need to change their whole name and branding if they just want to sell their own products.  Imagine if the transition fully happens where they just sell their own make up and skincare and carry on calling themselves Memebox?  Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Oh Liv I so agree with you, that is definitely the most annoying and upsetting thing, it feels discourteous and even disrespectful.

Anyways I don't want to go over the top over a skincare and makeup website as there are more important things in the world so it's not worth getting too het up about, but I wish they would communicate more and not give false hope.  Comments on Facebook are asking for boxes as well.

Do you think fellow memebox addicts exist out of our little MUT lair though? :K

I mean, I think we all got to here and the memebox addict group by searching for a community of fellow addicts... For everyone outside of this bubble maybe it's just a nice thing but not something they would go crazy over or particularly miss

One thing that gives me a little hope of boxes next year is an email I received from Gwen

Memebox Global is working on a lot of things right now, and this new year will bring a lot of good stuff. Not just in terms of private label things but with Memeboxes too.

Which suggests there "may" be boxes to come in the new year...,but by then, a lot of customers will have moved elsewhere. A simple statement on Facebook saying there WILL be new boxes next year is ALL that is required.

I wish Gwen would reply to my email!!!!

One of my boxes had a damaged item when it arrived and I've had no response as yet.

I'm so fed up at this point honestly.  I can understand they can't control if Korea is curating new boxes but at the very least ANSWER YOUR EMAILS.   :angry:

 

[Alidolly]

Oh...etude house website has their masks on sale again as part of the princess days thingy...48cents each...

 

[Mahsa]

I know these are all items everyone raves about but my top 5 memebox items at the moment are:

Blithe purple berry patting water

Pure smile snail hand cream

Rich collegen smart balm

Re:cipie spray essence water

Pig nose clear black head steam starter

 

[biancardi]

@Amy1234  exactly - I got an email asking me to rate the response on a query I made - hello, no one responded yet!! 

it is so unprofessional to ignore emails.  I have some that are pretty benign, just asking about if they will stock a product or something.

and no response.

Getting tired of no boxes and thinking of getting more from Wishtrend. What are people's experiences with the site? I've had fast shipping from them even when they send it regular mail.

I've ordered from them and I have been pleased with them quite a bit.  I've written about them too.     They are more "pricey" than memebox, but you know what you are getting.

 

[Amy1234]

Ooh I will have to have a look at Wishtrend!

 

[cfisher]

I really hope this doesn't come off the wrong way (you all know how guilty I am of doing this), but I think we should try to be extra cautious to keep non Memebox discussions in the Korean Skincare thread, especially when none of it relates to Memebox.

There's lots of new people posting (Welcome fellow addicts!) and I really would hate for @@MissJexie to have to keep coming in here and trying to break things up...And I know some posters aren't even aware of the fact that we're not supposed to talk about general skincare stuff in here. 

This thread has blown up in the past couple of weeks (which is sort of ironic considering how dead things are in Memeland) and I really feel like we should try to help monitor ourselves (and guide people over to the Korean Skincare thread).

And selfishly, I just really don't want them to have to break this thread down into separate ones. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
