Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Theblondeangel]

Will not buy this one.. Rly want to, but need to get some trust back in their curations lately first..

@@jmen What boxes did you order?

 

[sayswhoo]

Ladies, in regards to the expired item....Was it the item that was in the Jackpot box?

I received those with the same date. It's a blatant warehouse clearout.

Or there a new item that I need to keep an eye out for?

I posted in the spoilers thread about an expired one-use item that came in the Garden of Eden box today...the "till" date is 12/18/14.  Not sure what you got in the Jackpot box...

Spoiler

Is the packaging black with an animal on it?

Tbh I know there has been more than one occasion where they have refused to cancel someone's box on here that was over a week away. Can't remember who.

I think sometimes they want to bend their own ruling if they think they can get away with it.

All the trust seems to be fading with memebox at the moment. I'm sure the new box will sell out before Christmas but I'll wait for any restocks if its a good one. To me, they seem to just be clearing out old stuff they've had lying about and supplementing with an order of stock they got cheap because of the use by dates. They need to start adding spoilers for boxes that will ship out quickly (so can't be cancelled). A couple of decent spoilers and I'd reconsider but as it stands, I think there are a lot of ladies that are apprehensive of spending any more money with an organisation that appears not to care what its customers want or think

When will we get spoilers for the new mask box, mine ones snail mail

I ordered this with express shipping, but so far I see no indication that it has been shipped. That means Tuesday at the very earliest, I think.

@@sayswhoo Yes, that's the item! I haven't opened my value set yet today...So just so everyone knows, the one use expired item is an item they tried to clear out by shoving in LOTS of Jackpot boxes.

Wow, they must have found a hidden stash of them.

Not cool Memebox.

If anything, it should have been a free added on item....A month or two ago.

(But, really....I wish ALL of the repeats has been gotten rid of through one heck of a Jackpot Memebox. Because this is ruining them.)

I don't think they will restock any of the new boxes as they don't accept cancellations for them. Unless they receive back boxes that had the wrong address on. I agree that should add at least one spoiler for these boxes. I think it will be safe again to buy boxes once they clear out completely their warehouse!

 

[sayswhoo]

@@cfisher Yikes...I agree it should have been a free added on item given out months ago. Luckily though I still like the box so I'm just gonna use the item tonite before I go out to dinner and forget about it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Then that makes it worse - the fact they KNEW the item was due to expire soon / had expired but still put it in the box.

Not impressed at all.

I don't necessarily think they knew it had expired. I've actually purchased those panda eye masks from Wishtrend, and I received a box of 10 that had only weeks to be used up, which is ridiculous. 

But they definitely should be checking these dates of repeats from so long ago.

And I have the bundle that arrived today, and I see multiple other repeats. 

I am so so so so so so so sick of getting repeats in every box now. 

Especially since it's so obvious it's warehouse clearouts from long ago. 

 

[cfisher]

Well, Ladies....

I've joined the strike. Unless it's a box where I know it will contain items I can use up (like mask boxes).

No more boxes for me until they clear this mess up. (Our out, apparently.)

I never thought I'd see the day. (I bet none of you did either.)  :lol:

 

[tiedyedlifestyle]

I just have to say (on a random, completely unrelated note) that I'm loving the packaging of these Vivito music themed items (some were in the color box I think, one was in wonder woman)!  I love that the concealer looks like a little mixer.  I thought it was just on the box, but its actually on the items too.  Coolio!

 

[Alex Z.]

My guess is that issues like products expiring soon came out now, because it's one year since memebox started. Probably they hadn't realised that some of the products that bought some time ago would still be in their warehouse and now they try to get rid of them.

I think that was me. I tried to cancel my Tea Tree + F/W Bundle 2 weeks before it shipped and the first CS rep said no, but then I emailed back kind of demanding they cancel it and copying and pasting their policy from the website and they relented lol.

I ordered the new Christmas box. I'm not sure why, it just 'spoke' to me more than all the other ones in the series. I'm actually hoping for a mix of skincare and makeup because I need more glitter in my life.

 

[blinded]

I wouldn't even trust spoilers, tbh. Look at the bloggers box. I avoided it until I saw the spoiler and bought it based on that. I figured if that was the spoiler they MUST have actually stuck to what bloggers suggested. Yeah, I was wrong about that. So unless a spoiler was an item I think is worth the cost of the box, I'm not going to trust any of the "best of" or vague themed boxes.

Yeah, I knew it was someone as I remember we all said to reply.

So, I contacted Memebox about a Memeshop order that shipped on November 3 and still has tracking from USPS that says the origin point is preparing the shipment. After I emailed them 3 times, they finally replied and told me that shipping is taking "a few days longer" than normal. It's been 46 days <_<   I am losing my patience.

If you paid with a credit card, I would ask for a refund now.  If you used PayPal I'm afraid you may be SOL; their protection limit is 45 days.

Edit:  biancardi in the following post is correct; PayPal updated their protection limits policy about a month ago.  No longer 45 days -- which I always thought was way too short -- it's 180 days.  Yay.

I bet memebox CS gets tons of emails about their package missing, when it is only a few days since they shipped it out.  I would respond and tell them that it has been 46 days - six weeks (and bold it) and it isn't a few days longer.

also, I think paypal has extended protection to 180 days and tell them you will open up a dispute with paypal or your credit company
