Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Jane George]

I think I might get charged taxes when I order from wantable but never come across any other incidences of that. Memebox certainly likes to make buying from them very interesting. But definitely good to learn new things about business practices in my opinion.

US sales tax is by state so it doesn't seem right that you are getting charged...

I suppose it could be uk import tax.

Getting excited.  Just got an e-mail updating my Super Box 2!

 

[Jane George]

Updating how?

 

[elainecad]

Shipping date of March 14th, how it is  shipping. Shows my address and ask if any info needs to be corrected. Shipping policy when I will  receive my tracking number, etc.

So bummed I didn't get to use my points before all these changes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> waaahhh

I just sent yet another email to Memebox regarding the tax and shipping. Now awaiting for a response. I've said this before and I still believe that although Memebox is awesome, they really lack communication with their customers. I mean, if they were to only properly communicate the changes then customers (like me) wouldn't feel the need to flood them with so many email inquiries. My initial thought, regarding tax, was that they've worked with some broker and collected custom duties on your behalf. Some businesses practice this. However, I don't have extensive knowledge on this topic so I really don't know.

Very sad about the taxes. I was waiting to see the previews of SB 2 before buying it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think that this is simply the higher the price. So hide it.

each of us in his country pays taxes

I am beginning to think so too because this extra tax calculation makes no sense. I'm eagerly waiting for a response from them for an explanation.

I'm wondering: did any of non-American customers get their points rounded up? Or don't we qualify since we're not going to be around for much longer?

Edit. I just got them rounded up so it's ok. Hope to still buy sth nice before the possibilty is gone for me

I'm still trying to decide what to spend my points on! I've been eyeing a few things in the shop, but I'm afraid a new Lucky box or superbox will come out RIGHT afterwards and I'll regret it. GRRR I hate having to make decisions LOL

 

[nelliebelle1197]

I just did not love my box enough to put up with this wackiness. I get too much good stuff from my other boxes to care much about meme. Which makes me very sad. I want this to be  my new thing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

EXCEPT! I just saw I have about $10 in points and I am too cheap to let that go. Any one get a Hydration box yet?

I really think that we should follow the suggestions of the moderators and move on from that part of the conversation. We all agree that it's an unfortunate situation and we all have very strong opinions on the matter, but I think it's time we move forward and let it go.
And I really  think we should let moderators step in if there is an issue rather than once again trying to impose our personal interpretations of  comments on others and shutting down conversation. Thank you.

It's pre-order, they're going to be shipped on March, 21, so unfortunately no possibility to check what's inside yet.

Ahhh... thanks! I have had so many emails from them and I am not invested in writing down deadlines!

I don't write them down either - it's always much easier to check them in the description of the box you're interested in

Thanks!  Rule #1:

1. Be polite and respect other members and staff. Blatant mean posts will result in banning of user account and/or ip address.

A moderator did step in, and ask that we let that part of the conversation end, as it was getting out of hand on both sides. Rather than ignore that request and continue going back and forth and wait for a moderator to step in a second time, I thought I would continue to do what was asked of us.
