it looks like that is not a typo - you pay for one express shipping cost 18.99 - it is no longer a free upgrade to express shipping. they really need to reword that better. that is not a free upgrade. that is just express shipping at one cost.

So...Looking at the sold out page. What boxes there haven't been listed yet this week (as can maybe work out what'll be up tomorrow).
Jackpot
#29 scrub (can't remember seeing that up)
#7 Milk
Dirty Gal
Luckybox 1,2, 3, 4, 5
Two mini boxes
The early globals
Etude House
Is there any more? They've "sort of" done chocolate mania, from Jeju etc as the value sets so don't think they will come up again..perhaps cacao?

That kind of defeats the purpose of a value set.. They really don't want our business do they?
Nope, there is no way that can be classified as being free upgrade. Its a standard express shipping cost of $18.99 and, at that price and no other options, I'm out

LOL at this in the new box description: "Whether you're in your 20s or your 40s, the quest to maintain supple, soft skin is a daily challenge."
So I guess since I'm in my 50s they think I'd be better off just offing myself now and getting it over with.
NEVER!!!! :angry:
P.S. I'm glad they're offering bundles of the newer boxes; however, since I think all the new boxes will only have 5 items at best, I'm wary.

Oh, god.. Such a let down anyway. Not paying 18.99 for shipping. Keep your boxes to yourself Memebox -.-

Yep that's a disastrous move. People bought the value sets for the free express. Sorry memebox, to follow the title style of your skincare products, you can go "**** yourself"
(eta: sorry if that's harsh or crass, but I'm just SO unimpressed with this company right now.)

Memebox FREE UPGRADE means it costs nothing, zip, nada, nowt...it does NOT mean you charge $18.99. That is NOT free. Comprende? Its misleading and untrue to say FREE UPGRADE so change it...oh how I wish I were a US lawyer...I'd even send the letters in for FREE (and not charge $24 for them lol!)
They just seem to be taking everyone's suggestions and altering them to fit the bottom line. I guess for the die hards who always order express shipping, technically paying only $9.50 each box for express shipping could be considered a deal. Regular consumers aren't really going to go for that offer though.
I can't remember who mentioned this a long time ago, but someone did say that all of the great customer perks were to boost their year-end sales numbers, and now they have to get back to padding their profit margin.

That and the new customers who is not aware how the previous bundles were priced. They may think it's a reasonable deal as well.
So, just asked my husband what he though free upgrade meant and he said...well, it would be the regular price of the shipping but for the express shipping.
Fair enough...that's still only $6.99 as that's the snail mail price. So, even if you double that (for the two boxes...it would still be less than the $18.99 they want to charge).
No matter how you look at it, its misleading. Express shipping is $18.99 normally. Even putting 2 boxes for 1 express shipping would suffice

What on earth?
Since when is paying $18.99 free?! They're both arriving in the same box so it's not two shipment charges and one is free... because there's only ONE shipment which means ONE shipping charge. And if there's a charge then it's not free.
Dopes. Who'd want to do that anyway? It completely takes the value out of buying a value set. How many times have I bought a box I didn't really want just to get the express shipping? Several. But this makes it completely not worth it anymore.

Is it bad to bait them by pointing it out to them on Instagram?

No. I pointed out to them on Facebook that we know they are deleting negative reviews of their products. I asked them how stupid they think we are.
No so have I . Also the hand cream lip cream bundles as advertised as global sale is USA only wanted the raspberry
