@@LoveSkinCare Well said! I would have said/asked the same things! Thanks for the info!
I was happy to share it. I said what I thought and felt needed to be addressed, and wanted answers to. I just wish she would have provided more info on reopening global shippng. Perhaps she just didn't know at this time. I also hope that these surveys mean that we will see positive changes.

 
Long shot: Does anyone have a translated ingredient list for the Ladykin Mangchee Lifting Mask?

Thank you in advance.

So actually looking more closely, I think my Seeds & Flower tracking is listing CO as the destination... which is strange, since I am in AZ :wacko:

 
I just got a memebox delivered too and I opened it but it doesn't say what it is. How do I figure out which one it is? I have to look at my orders because now I don't remember what I ordered. Sounds ridiculous I know.  :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

is it the one with the skinfood sake?  That is the lunar box - I just posted spoilers for it.

 
pretty fast shipping too.  of course, the 2 masks I added on to get free shipping were not in the package - haha  I will wait and see as my box has not even been marked shipped yet!

That's what threw me off. The mask I had ordered with this wasn't in the box either. I guess it's coming separate. Yes very fast shipping, faster than I expected.

 
Guess people are so used to the snail paced shipping from Seoul lol! But glad they have a fast turnaround for orders now for you US girls. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lunar box looks ok - nothing earth shattering amazing but a box of useable products.

hopefully they'll actually listen to the people they've phoned so far and continue to improve with different brands and good prices for you all.

They ship the boxes separately it seems.  I had my Memebox and my face wash (all one order for the free shipping) arrive in two separate packages with separate shipping labels, etc.

The Lunar box really does confirm my suspicion of no more direct-from-korea products.  Although, Lauren did say they were going to continue to do so, I'm just not seeing it.  These products are all brands that have a US presence. :*(

 
@@TonyaBeans I think all three versions of LB14 have been spoiled in the addicts group.
Hate to sound stupid, but can someone link the addicts group or the link to the 3 versions?  I don't know what the addicts group is, and I just got version 1 and am not thrilled at all with it, so was curious what was in the other 2 versions.   This was officially my last box I had coming.  Such a sad day, but I know its the best for me.  Thanks for any more direction/info anyone can give me on this.  I came up with nothing googling it

 
So I was chosen for a telephone survey with Memebox USA and I had that conversation yesterday evening. I thought I would share the info with everyone and hope it helps.

Basically they wanted feedback on how they could improve and make my shopping experience better. She asked me about my skincare routine, what brands I used, had I tried the Memebox makeup, how I found Memebox and where I shopped for skincare and cosmetics. The conversation lasted about a half hour. I made a list of questions before hand and this is what I asked and the responses.

Slow responses to emails:

Response: Emails were slow because most of the requests required information from Korea so they would have to wait to get the information. They are working on improving their response time.

Want more brands in the shop, unique brands that we can't get anywhere else like we were getting from global:

Response: We will see more brands soon in the shop. A few new brands have already been added. (She asked me why I was interested in the unfamiliar brands and I said it was because I want to try things I can't buy here with interesting ingredients)

I mentioned the high prices of the boxes with low value was not making me want to purchase them. And also too many of the same brands showing up in each of the boxes:

Response: She understood my concern and made note of it. (She also agreed with me that the higher priced boxes were lingering on the site and not sold out yet, I suggested adding more unique items to the boxes to raise the value and not a sheet mask as its one time use)

I asked about the VIP program not having many perks like Memepoints each month, coupons to use on boxes, and early box releases at a discount for VIP's as these perks made me want to buy things:

Response: She took note and said they are working on the VIP program since they are in transition, but they still have the program. (So hopefully we will see some perks)

I asked about the affiliate/ Blogger $3 and $5 off codes and would these be coming back as these codes help influence people to purchase:

Response: They still have an affiliate program. She said she was not sure about the coupon codes or what would be offered since they are still in a transition period so things are rolling out slowly. (I'm not sure what we will see)

I asked about since now everything ships from the U.S. When we receive a damaged item, would we get a replacement or still get Memepoints:

Response: We would get a replacement. The reason why they gave Memepoints on the items shipped from Korea was that most often, they didn't have the item to replace it with and the logistics issues of replacing.

I asked if they would reopen Global:

Response: For now it will be like it is US separate from Korea. They had to stop international shipping due to logistical reasons. (We already knew this but I was hoping to get more information for everyone).

I am happy that they are at least reaching out and talking to customers. I don't know why I was selected, but she did say I was one of there top customers (my boyfriend said, yeah because you've spent a fortune, LOL).
thanks so much for sharing this! It's very interesting that they're reaching out to customers. I really think they're noticing a lack of sales in a big way and want to know how to fix it- I hope they do. I find it interesting that she wanted to know why you were interested in unfamiliar brands. I'm sure they assume people want to see popular and recognizable brands- it makes sense in an objective sense, but they need to realize that we're all too dang kbeauty savvy to be impressed by tonymoly at this point lol

 
@ The group is memebox addicts on facebook. I added the pictures of all three versions to the spoilers thread. 
Thanks so much for doing that for me!  Seems like I got the worst version, oh well.  Even though I no longer order I still like peeking at what others are getting.  Seems like global 19 was a good box and at the old price too.  Pity I didn't get it.  I was hoping for more in my LB 14 though since it was ordered and paid for so long ago, but it wasn't filled like old lucky boxes in the past were.

 
@@LoveSkinCare fab. That's basically the same questions I would ask them and how I would answer too~ Thanks for sharing :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :)

@@biancardi Whoa thanks for posting up the unboxing of that mystery box. Just read it :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I keep seeing naked boxes which I would not have bought if I was in US. (secretly glad..) But you know me...I prefer boxes with a surprise factor. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
My guess is there are fewer quantities available for each box offering in an attempt to gauge the market. Maybe now would be a good idea to consider doing a subscription. I would love to have more skin area, masks than glittery makeup etc. I seem to be allergic to their gel eyeliners which is a bummer coz I bought the set and don't dare use them again. They make my eyes tingle, almost water and the effect lingers After it is removed and my face cleansed. Since I have tried it twice with the same result, the problem is definitely the gel liner.

 
I emailed Benton last week to let them know I also got a toner with floaties and this is the response I was sent today. Doesn't really say much, but it's nice to know they are following up with customers. I'm still pleased with how the situation is being handled.
