Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[juless231]

I only have one Memebox order left to receive and that's it. I'm really happy with the two boxes I received today and the one coming, but the new boxes just aren't appealing to me. With the exchange rate, it's just not even close to being worth it to order one, unless I had tons of points and coupons. I did receive my 5 set of the duo eyeshadows though and I'm IN LOVE! They are so gorgeous!! I want the others now... and the lipsticks... 

Anyways, Memebox must be seeing that their boxes are selling out anymore and people are acting very cautious about buying. It's a shame since a lot of the fun is out of it now. I still do love the products I have received so far though, and if a great box comes out I'll order it if I can.

HI EVERYONE!!

long time no talk/visit. =]

what is new?? someone please catch me up! 

I haven't read since mid December :X

I miss you guys!! 

my last box comes ships on 1/24  and its the global 19 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

what do we think about the new boxes? I actually didn't even really notice there were new boxes coming out.

Seems that my memebox excitement kind of fizzled since all the the mess in October, November, and December. haha

Memebox going downhill both in terms of quantity and quality of boxes

Unfair / illegal competitions

Ongoing customer service issues

Unhappy customers

Changes to affiliate programme - and not for the better

VIP status a joke

That's it in a nutshell (oh and a poorly cat everyone hopes gets better as furimals are part of the family)

I was surprised (pleased) to see that an oil cleanser made it into the newest cleansers box, but I'm so overloaded on cleansers that box wasn't even KIND OF appealing.  My last box (Global 19) is coming in January.  I, too, am moving more towards buying the items I want from other shops rather than just letting Memebox do the choosing for me.  I'm excited to see what happens with the Nakedboxes they will be releasing, but my expectations and hopes are so damn low.  Memebox hasn't been wowing me, they've been making it easier to sit on my wallet lately.

I've enjoyed being a part of this community. I'm done with Memebox, unfortunately. I definitely enjoyed the ride, but the constant lying, package issues, cancelled packages, missing/illegally held funds and decreasing value have resulted in me moving on to other avenues. My last few boxes were never even shipped (long story). Thanks for providing a fun place to comment and lurk. I'll creepy around here for a while longer, but I don't expect to purchase anything from Memebox again.

Honestly, for me, when they all but did away with the coupon codes, I was kind of over it.  That $5 really did make a difference in my buying... And now the $3 off $30 excluding shipping is just pointless.  Boxes, not products, were what I was buying.

Think my last few orders have joined the Bermuda Triangle of lost boxes. My Pony 2 palette has not been heard of since the 30/12 at Incheon and the Boxing Day 2 box and Wintercare masks have gone walkabout between GBLala and Scotland...to the point I could have walked up from there quicker! Hoping they will arrive tomorrow but not holding my breath. Neither am I excited about the naked boxes. They are value sets but with random products instead of one brand so will be any old crap they have lying about and want to get rid of no doubt.

Yes I'm Polly Pessimistic at the moment...had one of those days (incident at work which could have turned violent...with me in the middle doing first aid and conflict handling at the same time!). In need of a nice warm bath with some relaxing smellies added /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And I feel bad for everyone who has been on the receiving end of some REAL, serious Memebox BS. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Yeah, I don't want to be the one to get burned and we all know memebox does NOT take care of their customers.

The body and facial cleanser I was referring to using was in a box from before the holidays, I think.

Not from a new or new-ish box.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Well, found one of the boxes - my neighbour came over with it tonight (the postman had yet again failed to put a note through the door to let me know!). Its the Boxing Day #2. Its not bad for the price but think the memelove has gone completely as was like "yeah, ok..." Think Kirsty was more interested than I was wanting to see what was in each of the mini boxes.

Still no sign of winter masks or pony though..

Yep, the good old days of memebox seem to be well and truly over. They've become greedy and lost focus IMHO. The reason people loved them was the variety of products / price but one has gone down and the other up and customer service when there is a problem is poor. They aren't in Korea anymore so can't use the language barrier as being part of the problem...if they don't have English speaking staff, they need to hire some. Looking at their Christmas photo on Facebook though, there was at least one American lassie on the payroll. Fair enough if it was the warehouse staff responding but it isn't..

Kinda bummed that I got on the Memebox train right as it derailed. I have the next two luckyboxes coming and I can't really muster up any excitement over them. I'm still waiting for the Boxing Day #1, which I really regret buying as it only has one or two items in it that will be remotely useful for me. I mean, they included a tonic to stop hair loss?! What is up with that?!

those are quite popular and we have gotten several hair thickening/loss prevention items in memeboxes in the past.

For me, as I have fine hair, it is welcome change over hair oils!

As far as contests go - I won one of the 2nd place golden tickets for $100.  I got it about 10 days ago.  Of course, the code didn't work.  I emailed CS 5 times over 9 days before they answered.  The answer from Gwen was that the code had been used more than allotted (they must have used the same code for all 5 2nd place tickets) and she couldn't reactivate it.  She said if I want to buy a box I can buy it on paypal and get reimbursed if I email her the paypal receipt. -  you can only spend $33.33 at a time.  I have to say, I've read a lot of nice things about Gwen on this board, but she seemed just totally annoyed to answer my question about the code and wasn't at all friendly.  And I don't 100% trust that I'll get reimbursed since half the time I never even get a response back from an email so I'm not sure that I'll do it.   I was excited to win, but now I don't even feel like I won anything.

I'm pretty over memebox.  Especially after buying so many disappointing boxes (the later OMG, cute wish list, korea's most wanted to name a few), half of them filled with crappy cutiepiemarzia leftovers.

I've learned so much from reading this forum and visiting all the amazing blogs from the people here.  I'm so grateful for that.  And a special thank you to Rachel from Harlot Beauty for introducing me to Korean beauty/skincare.  I bought the very first memebox after she posted here.

Lol jane.

It not for me that's for sure .

Another one to wait for the FULL unboxing after the 14th as no doubt another 5 products. A few months ago and we'd have been hitting the buy button without a second thought. Now I really don't care if it sells out before then....just not interested. Bring back the $23 boxes or give us at least a $5 voucher or free shipping.

Tbh the boxes are no longer moving fast, as can be seen from night care box, and I can't see this one being any different
