Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

But you get it for free if you blog about it! If you still don't want it, I'll take it off your hands. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Promotion not valid for box purchases made prior to February 2, 2015

Damn it...

I'm in Canada but if you're willing to pay shipping costs I will gladly sell if the cancellation doesn't go through.

Brand spanking new contest. Tbh I am feeling a bit like this is a slap in the face for their past reviewers. This is to create publicity hoping to increasing sales for after change.

Plus they can't even sort out existing back logged review points, can't see this being any better.

 

[crazysweet]

Wah?? You do? I thought that blurb on the page was for an old contest. Does everyone who blogs about it get it for free? And is that a refund or points? hmm...

No it says it's not valid for purchases prior to Feb 2nd. I was about to buy it when it just went out of stock. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  It's a full refund as long as you follow their rules listed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wonder if you are able to redirect the package. If not I would be willing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Im in AB /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[juless231]

Oh geez, it's late I'm half asleep and didn't read that right lol! If the cancellation doesn't go through I'm going to email to ask for details on the contest. If it's refunded in points then no thanks, box is up for sale. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You have first dibs if the cancellation doesn't go through and they tell me that the refund is in points!

Seems like they restocked quite a lot of boxes, all with the free review promotion. I'm wary somewhat since it's Memebox. Feels like it's too good to be true. I'm guessing they restocked a handful of each box, knowing that even a smaller handful of boxes will actually go to bloggers or people willing to take the time to blog/youtube about them. The refunds to that smaller amount would be worth the sudden influx of publicity Memebox will get online from all the reviews.

Sounds good! Thanks!

I assume it would be cash refund since they will stop shipping internationally and you can request a cash out of your memepoints higher than 4 points. Though that's not enough time for everyone to receive their packages... :S

I know! I thought about it too long as well.

Seems to good to be true? I'm only grabbing 1 box for fearing they might somehow dishonor the refund.

Haha, yeah, I just sat here for several minutes thinking, "Wait, what...?" I also couldn't remember the name of the box I wanted (was thinking it was Cleanse & Tone, realized it was Step by Step after I looked up unboxings). By the time I was ready to get it, it was gone.

I did decide to pick up the dessert box, we'll see how this refund deal goes...

Lol.

My brain was still not catching up, like "review whaa..?" and Chocolate Mania went from available to sold out in a zip.

If the wording was Restocked Boxes, maybe my brain would've worked faster!

I decided to grab Garden of Eden, I want to try the Rosehip essence.

Nice pick, dessert was a fun box! I've enjoyed the Juice Ampoule & the Hand Cream very much!

Garden of Eden is a good box!

I'm thinking about picking up one more, but I am still nervous about the whole deal. I'm also wondering about the shipping costs. One person on Facebook bought 9 of the boxes--I'm wondering if she's going to end up still paying over $60 to ship them!

 

[theori3]

This deal kinda sucks for established bloggers who have already purchased and reviewed most of these boxes. On the other hand, I guess it is a nice thing for people just getting started with blogs... The guidelines are concerning, though. How is Memebox going to judge whether something is "quality" and "compelling?" Memebox is just asking for trouble with all of this.

 

[Jane George]

Tbh the restrictions are very tight....

Tbh the restrictions are very tight....

They do have some restrictions established, but above those and in the email Memebox uses vague words to describe what they're looking for. If a blog follows the guidelines for photos and a brief description, but the entire blog post is poorly written, will that matter? My guess is no, but this kind of language makes me wonder what Memebox is thinking.

ETA: I work as a project manager/editor for a company that creates blog content for businesses, and we have very extensive guidelines that we follow... that might have something to do with why I focus so much on stuff like this, lol.

@@juless231 I'm planning to cancel my Valentines Day box as well. Let me know if you hear back from them!

I finally managed to get Choco Mania /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was thinking about getting Dessert Box, but it sold out before I could get it. Good choice, it has some really cute stuff I wanted to give as gifts!

Is Garden of Eden a good box? I saw unboxings, but not completely sure if I should get it.

I'm also concerned, they left out some details for the review guidelines. For example, how we would be refunded?

 

[detroitjewel]

I grabbed the omg 4 box...

Does this mean I have to take detailed photos of the no-no zone masks?!

Valentines Day activity!

 

[sam356]

Can you imagine emailing memebox for an answer to that question? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They didn't think this through.  I think you can skip those masks. No body wants to see that lol!
