Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Lorna ljblog]

so memebox put a new box up last night the starter set ,over 8 hours later and they are sending out emails already saying the eye cream has been replaced ,looking on Facebook, 

memebox you are breaking the law ,you have advertised it as one product in written info and photos of the box, trading standards ,false advertising, 

you have learnt nothing in a year ,nothing.

clearly before selling boxes you should receive products first.

and people have been told they can't cancel the boxes still

Is anyone else having problems getting onto the website?

Is that box set to ship immediately? If they are replacing an item, they need to allow people to cancel their orders for a refund.

Pretty surprised this has happened and it is hard to surprise me. It is probably the shadiest thing they have done other than the 'waxing' book.

As Lorna said they are breaking eu law with their advertising one product and replacing it with another without offering cancelling. I don't believe they ever had the first product personally.

I think only US laws apply since that is where they are selling from--they are just shipping to the EU, but not selling there. I'm sure there are legal issues with this according to US and California laws as well, though. They need to allow people to cancel the order.

They seem to have waves of real idiocy and we seem to have hit one again... Sigh

I really admire those of you who continue to hang in there with Memebox. They kind of fell off my radar during the period where they weren't putting out any new boxes, and I'm always surprised when I pop in here at how they somehow continue to really really mess stuff up. I don't mean this to be a hater message, more of a really, WOW, I can't believe they did something that crazy again type message.

I do still hope they'll start putting out some actually good new boxes again, but my hope grows dimmer by the week.

@@Alidolly, I think it was you who wanted the blue, did you grab it?

Nope...missed it.

Nope...missed it.

:/ You mentioned that you were interested in the lipstick, there seem to be a good number of blue-to-pink lipsticks available on ebay, here's one example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-x-GENUINE-Hare-Magic-Moroccan-Lipstick-Changes-from-BLUE-to-PINK-/291359358217?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Make_Up_Cosmetics_Lipstick_PP&hash=item43d65efd09

The blue lipstick in the color box looked pretty and fun, but as a whole, they're pretty meh boxes, but I'm sorry you missed it @@Alidolly

You know what? I really couldn't care less about memebox. There customer appreciation week is an absolute farce. 2/3 boxes in a restock that are snapped up in seconds. A new box that also sells out quickly AND they do a bait and switch on it.

ENOUGH!!!!

I'm not playing the game any more. I've had it so I'm out. I simply cannot take any more of their utter bullshit. Once my orders have been dispatched I'm going to be buying from TesterKorea instead. I've almost made the next level (8% off). I can buy what I want, WHEN I want and still track the shipment. It still arrives about the same time and I can ask them to stock items I'd like to try.

Memebox can take those 4 points and ram them up their.....

@@bluefintuna No one has gotten review points since last year.  I think they're not doing the program anymore now that they've switched affiliate programs.  That's my guess anyway.

I got review points on the 5th.  Lauren was out on vacation all last week, I think she is really behind and trying to catch up.

I gave up on the restocks and used all of the points I was hoarding on the Goddess Cream. Now, if they would just make the LJH set available internationally, I would actually be a happy camper in Meme-land. I get that the US market is where it's at and their stock is in the USA, but there are other USA retailers who have found a way to ship to me for a reasonable price (Limecrime, MakeupGeek, ColourPop, Glossybox, Birchbox, Julep, Ipsy, and the list goes on).

I'm actually glad that Memebox gave me this time to reflect on my spending habits on their website, since I realize that no matter how great a product may be from a box, I can't use it if it's wrong for my skin-type. I then somehow feel guilty that I have to toss it because I spent money on it, even if it only ended up averaging out to be a few dollars. This way, I know that I'm in control of everything I purchase and have the ability to only purchase items I can actually use.
