I just went to the Facebook site. There is NO negative comments. That is going to mislead potential new customers.

Ok, so lets play devils advocate here and tally this up.
She paid
$5.50 to ship
$1.50 for paypal fees
$3 for earrings (we are guessing)
$3 for sunglasses (we are guessing)
$5 for stila (again guessing)
$5 for avon, and
$2 for borgasa (guessing very low)
that equals $25 based on YOUR own calcualations!!!
Even based on those guesses from you google geniouses, it still shows she BROKE EVEN sending out these boxes. what were you expecting, to pay $25, free shipping for $100 worth of goods and have her pay $50 out of pocket? well thats just very stupid on your part.
wanna know what these "sample" boxes monthly costs are that you pay $10 for? high end beauty samples are sold by the lots of THOUSANDS and are .20 to 40 cents a piece. so in reality, she could send you complainers a box of sunglasses and 5 beauty samples for $10 and make more than sending out full sized items. yet you arent swarming other pages complaining about their sample sizes! so next time you are so appreciative of your high end sample sized items, i hope you enjoy being ripped off as well.
Yes, the expired cosmetics are bad. everyone makes mistakes, maybe if you'd approach it like a grown up and be mature about it she would have been able to correct it. She told me once my friend paid to ship her expired moisturizer back, she would send her something else PLUS refund the shipping fee on paypal. she has to be careful about just issuing refunds etc, she is the business and we are the customer - just like returning other items, you always pay shipping so they know they arent sending a replacement item and never getting the damaged one back. has it occured to you that she NEEDS the expired items back to get a refund from her distributor? probably not because none of you have ever ran a business or have a nickles value of how to even begin.
I do not know her personally but have seen from her facebook that she has been suffering with a brain tumor, has been screwed by another beauty company and decided to start this, and has an autistic child as well as other life issues.
her goal was to get us awesome values of full sized products. she had a hiccup and is trying to fix it. if you guys would stop circling her like wolves and let her FIX this, you will be in awe of what she has in store!
also, for the costs of things. who cares if she paid $25 for the items and charged us $50? thats business! you cant expect her to take a loss to give us a service can you? she bought in BULK and got a deal in order to do this, like all other companies do. unless you can afford to buy 500 of each item you should be grateful she made the investment and is sharing her deals with us!

Also, Your beloved admin that posted info... emailed an offer to "smoothe things over" and delete this thread and actually PROMOTE for red carpet box if she was willing to pay. when she declined, the admin took it upon herself to find more dirt and post it... the word extortion comes to mind here....
ALSO, I offered to buy a pair of earrings that someone was displeased with and was told she wants $30 for them!! you paid $25 for 5 items and said you think they are cheap so why ask me for $30!?
this whole thing SCREAMS shady that you guys want free items and to get your money back which is sad.
I UNDERSTAND THE EXPIRED ITEMS, but as far as not liking them or doubing if they are authentic? thats a risk you take with any box!
I have a lot of experience with paypal and let me tell you, its not going to fly and you guys can lose your account for filing false disputes so i hope you think with your own head before you follow the lead of someone trying to be greedy.

If she has nothing to hide, she should post permissions for the email to be posted. its $350, $500 or $750 for "advertising" and deleting negative things etc - each level has a specific "plan" for success of the business.

This statement right here and many others posted by her friends proves she is having a hard time with life. If she has a brain tumor and an autistic child she has to be insanely busy, tired, sick, and probably all around overwhelmed. My heart goes out to her for these reasons. Having said that, if these things were happening I have to once again ask, why was she thinking she had the time and resources to start a company?
I am amused at the people who joined this forum in the last couple of days to criticize a group of people you feel are too critical.

Amanda if you take a look around I'm pretty sure all of us know how this box thing works as we are all box subscribers ! Just goes to show if you don't know her personally or have anything to do with the company So you keep saying would you know anything about people's personal disputes which leads me to think you may be working with patty which leads me to not to listen to you! We are not new to the ball game! Trust me

This is a passion of hers to fix what happened with the other company. this is why i firmly believe she would never intentionally rip anyone off! If she was approached in a proper manner she could have resolved these issues but instead it turned into this drama!

Yet as soon as i called you out on it, you added it to the description (it was NOT there before) and clicked subscribe to my youtube account... yeah sounds like you have too much time on your hands!

I do understand passion for stuff. I just think that instead of sending in her friends to defend the negative reviews she could have opted to be up front with her subscribers. When someone is honest from the beginning I think you will find a lot of these ladies have an amazing amount of patience and understanding. So while her initial idea may have been completely innocent things got muddied up when people were told one thing and given another.
As someone who has subscribed to most popular boxes out there, I have been burned by a few for different reasons. I choose my subscriptions by viewing past boxes openings on the web or new ads showing the goodies they intend to promote. Either way, I join because something enticed me. If someone does the bait and switch it is frustrating. The bottom line is no one wants to feel they got screwed out of their money.

Just wondering, are you referring to your offer to me to buy the earrings from me? bc just in case i never told you a number, i told you to make me an offer... Just saying just in case...
Also no one is trying to get free items. everyone here is willing to return everything for a refund. & i think i can speak for everyone in terms of that. o think you people against us expressing ourselves negatively about the company keep turning our words against us and misinterpreting us to make us look bad and RCB as the victim. That is shady!
