Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Tracy E. Robey]

Gotta say, with Memebox going US-only the shenanigans have to stop. You know which ones: illegal outside of Utopia contests/sweepstakes/raffles; using very obvious, famous product containers on box images (minus the words)--signaling to newer people that they're going to get a premium product that's not in the box (even with a disclaimer we all know that's shady); all the copyright infringement stuff. In my mind, the bar is set at a completely different level now that they're going full-US and presumably have a fully US staff.

Between the bar suddenly going up and the prices of the boxes no doubt needing to rise on account of a lot of factors (including working with US pricing set by their suppliers) I am not particularly optimistic about Memebox's long-term success right now. I said that I'd give them til the end of January to get their mess sorted out, but here we are...and they're still a mess. So, yet again, we're back to Tyra.

Yeah. And the obvious Su:m37 bottle on Moisturize*3. Grr
There. Are. Other. Bottle. Shapes. And. Colors. If they stick to known bottles and just remove the words that's shady. Sketchy. Not trustworthy. ESPECIALLY when so many box promotional images now show the products--it's a different level of shady.

So, meme staff are back on Instagram and said there will be US boxes released this week so don't think there will be any more boxes released for the rest of the world.

that is good haul...

I am supposed to get my spider mask kit today + a koreadepart package, but it is really snowing heavily here - so I don't know if the mail will get thru or not.

My spider mask kit is out for delivery today, can't wait to try it tonight!

Lol loving how memebox are saying it was a tough week for THEM. It was their choice.

 

[Alidolly]

OK - just had a response from them on Instagram saying there WILL be releases for international customers over the next week. Will see what they put out...

Granted I've been married a while but before him I was dumped a few times and after I certainly did want to talk about THEIR pain lol

Holy shit balls, Memebox Armageddon.

I did a makeup and beauty inventory in Jan so have been taking a much needed break from Memebox, their decision to stop shipping to my country is almost a blessing, I guess it doesn't matter because I was less likely to purchase anything now as I feel it's not as good a deal since they changed their business model.

I'm waiting on points for reviews (still, it's been a while) and have a few stashed away so I'll try to use them before the cut off date.

I was looking for the Affiliate thread to see what would happen to my $3 in commission and when I realised that I couldn't find it I came here and saw that I'd missed a shit storm.

If anyone could send me the how2reddit guide that would be nice, I'd likely just lurk but if I need to ask a question I'd like to have a place to go where the people will be able to give good advice.

Actually, I bet the people who we have contact with ARE probably stressing out.  You know that wasn't their decision.  Can you imagine if your company did that and you were in charge of media relations?? Ugh!  I'd probably quit just so I wouldn't have to deal with the backlash.  

But secretly they're probably all so glad they don't have to deal with Meme-Korea they can hardly stand it. So maybe they're like "Yessss, finally! It's just us and we can do things our own way (and correctly)!"  If MemeUSA has any autonomy, I mean...

On the other hand, they could very well be reading the writing on the wall and passing out their resumes. Haha!

You can buy it from Olive Young in Korea via Avecko's shopping service. You can also request that Tester Korea add it to their Want section.

Yeah, seriously--the people we know and like are probably getting a ton of extra work and anger heaped on them when they were brought on to do very different things.

I've only found it here which doesn't help you at all, I know.

testerkorea.com is back taking requests.  You need to have an account there and then just go to the forum section - there is one forum called Want.  Start a new thread, requesting this product and then use the above link to show them what it is.

I've used this method several times and was able to a lot of products that I couldn't get elsewhere

@ haha we posted at the same time!
