Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Lorna ljblog]

Oh home from work and we all back here online thank god . Goes off to read up on what I've missed

 

[Theblondeangel]

@@Theblondeangel Now I'm curious...Lauren?! ...Did they say they're going to do anything about the missing tint, by any chance?

@@Jane George Yeah, I saw the white one in that $5 steals thing. Which is the only reason I think they actually have some to send out, haha. 

No, didn't hear anything about a tint. I wrote her a pretty serious email regarding why I (and 90% others) don't like repeats in our boxes, and more specific CPM2 leftovers and shara shara, hope+cheekroom duplicates. It's ok once, but twice/trice isn't. And she went on and on about how it's not unfair in a pretty rude manor.

 

[Cindy Elliott]

Boy did I ever miss you guys!!!  Glad we're back in business again

 

[Tracy E. Robey]

Wait--Lauren is handling regular CS inquiries?

I would respond in the following manner...

you are correct, it isn't unfair.  It is ********.

XO

 

[Jane George]

Btw I meant Gwen sent brusque replies not Lauren...

 

[cfisher]

@@Theblondeangel Ohhhhh, sorry.

I'm actually shocked that Lauren is responding to such emails now. I wonder if they made her deal with customer service to help catch up on things? 

@@Jane George Yeah, I've gotten some not so friendly emails from Gwen. If anything it just seems like she gets extremely fed up with her job and it definitely becomes clear in some responses. I sometimes just imagine her thinking something along the lines of "Seriously, why isn't someone else dealing with this rubbish? This isn't in my job description."

 

[Theblondeangel]

I wrote her together with my review for snow white that they sent me. Since global cs didnt reply. And she did..

Is it possible it's a different "Lauren" than the one that handles affiliates?

 

[Alidolly]

On another train ...5th one of the day. Is there spoilers for the Christmas boxes yet...want to know if its goodies or a turkey in the boxes

 

[Jane George]

@@biancardi lol choking on laughter at that response

 

[Theblondeangel]

Sorry if you thought it were sent to the original email. It weren't. 
I haven't replied yet @@biancardi, I were stunned.. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Didn't Memebox stop shipping to other countries except the USA for a brief while? It was before I discovered Memebox, but I believe I read it on Lorna's blog...

Oh drag me into this cheers . No lol . They stopped march to April . After we got the 11-16 bundles . Europe and Malaysia and Russia and Portugal were causing issues with customs . I kept emailing and got DHL and Royal Mail info for memebox and they contacted them to discuss reintroducing shopping back I think it was 31sr march they stopped and uk got reinstated at midnight 19 th April as I joked in the email is that my birthday present your giving me . Then they released 10 boxes over that weekend . I believe done of the polish girls also helped by gettin their customs and shipping info and emails sent to memebox to let them discuss shipping again . Originally customs were not sure about the pink parcels in the UK . I told my uncle it a beauty box sub so it will be coming through a lot and it got added to the monthly sub box list . And they haven't really been a trouble since going through gbla and heathrow. But I believe Australia and Canada were next reintroduced back . And the main countries never got added back with shipping issues. I think India still suffers though. But all has been good since then and memebox ship loads of boxes compared to January . I remember when we clicked the memebox face book page and only being 150 likes back then now look how many

 

[Lorna ljblog]

Hahahahaha YES! THIS! Next year I say we do a buddy system and mail each other things we want that we can't get from other countries. I'll even add in tons of Memebox stuff as an extra. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@crazysweet I think it happened around 12PST. So hopefully about 3 hours and 20 minutes from now?

That seems to be the standard release time when things are done in the US, isn't it?

Omg purple lipsticks and medusa and American candy in return for uk advents count me in girl

/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The Christmas boxes sold out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

I am kind of annoyed that there is no VIP codes this month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> If the sales are amazing for the 12 day of Xmas, I would really like more than a single $5 coupon to use.. I been hoping they were just late but it just doesn't seem like the code will be coming out any time soon.

It's the XO that makes this the perfect response. 

My elixirs box came today! I think I might love it. I was happy when I saw the spoilers but actually reading the card etc has made me even more pleased with it. I want to immediately start using everything except the eye cream, but I'm trying to limit the number of open products I have. These will probably get bumped to the front of the line. 

 

[Bunbunny]

Being disappointed when I see something I would like, then learning that I can't have it is a valid reaction, no more so than when one sees a beautiful item on a shelf then learns it is out of their price range. It is not a feeling towards an entire country but simply frustration at business practices. I understand that business practices go where there is money. That does not mean I am not allowed to be frustrated.

That's all I've got to say. I'm gonna drop this issue! It's not even a big deal in the end. We're all friends, friends love each other. Group hug, etc etc. 

Speaking of XO Memebox shop, has anyone gotten the new lip products, or read reviews? I see now that Memebox has added the international set of lipsticks! Thank you, Memebox. I'm so close to pulling the trigger, but I'm hesitant because of what I've heard about the glosses.

 

[cfisher]

@@Lorna ljblog Oh my goodness, are purple lipsticks hard to find in the UK? This is beyond tragic. ...Can I just claim you as my future swap buddy?  :wub:

I'm still desperately hoping that more of the plum lipsticks I see all over the Korean skincare sites start showing up in our boxes. Let's hope Korea moves on to their next trend so we start getting their unwanted leftovers. Purple can be our new orange, hah.

@@Bunbunny I don't think anyone was commenting on that aspect of it.

@@blinded Your elixirs arrived already? Ooooh. Really anxious to get mine. If yours is there, mine should show up any day now.  :lol:

And tomorrow is masks and brighten and correct. Whoever gets it first, please post and let me know if I should bring my expectations down a notch or three.  :lol:

 

[tiedyedlifestyle]

Can't wait for spoilers of brighten and correct.  I ordered that one with high(ish) hopes.  Trying to manage expectations /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
