Holy cow... that's super long... and she again mentions a tumor. Regardless of her medical condition it has no place in BUSINESS other than to gain a sympathy. Having had to deal with Patty the tumor really doesn't explain why she went out of her way to send me email after email calling me vulgar names. The tumor doesn't explain her "I'm a law student! I KNOW the law!" yet plagiarized MyGlam/Ipsy's website or ILLEGALLY using images. Granted those items were eventually removed but her "complaint" against a former customer who hated the items she got (which included EXPIRED makeup) on Rip Off Reports as well as complaints against Irene (who no longer works for Huddler) or myself because I refused to remove this thread has nothing to do with her tumor, it was her being a crook and trying to make herself the victim. I totally understand that a tumor can change a person's personality however if someone is THAT ill to the point where it causes them to be nasty, vicious and vindictive then that person has NO business running a business that deals with CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Personally I would NEVER EVER use nor recommend Red Carpet Box not with the fact that if you don't like the items because the items are EXPIRED or DISCONTINUED or possibly COUNTERFEIT then Patty will post your name AND address on Rip Off Reports! She ILLEGALLY posts PERSONAL information for ANYONE to see which can potentially be damaging to someone's reputation because she is upset that they want a refund! As a business owner myself I've had to deal with upset customers who I felt were trying to scam us however I rather give them a refund and be done with them than do what she did and post their personal information online as revenge.

Some of you know we have been in the process of building a brand new website and it hopefully will better convey what we do as a company and how we can afford to give you full sized products that are not expired, only discontinued. Some people actually hunt down their favorite brands no longer many years not in use and as long as they are sealed properly, should be more than fine. Our new website I hope with a great copy-writer friend of ours should hopefully put to rest and turn a new leaf on our company. We have a question for you and hope to get some input! We'd gladly LOVE some input regarding the jewelry. We personally loved the All the Rage and Target jewelry that were put into bags and that is what sets us apart a bit from other companies. Would you rather have a nicer handbag each month than the jewelry being offered? Would you prefer ''all cosmetics package'?

We are open to new ideas because we are about to launch our new site and we offer just one product line or a line with cosmetics and a handbag and no jewelry. I noticed even with our jewelry's quality going up dramatically, it is least noticed. All the Rage jewelry is a personal favorite of mine and is high quality. The Target pearl set we thought was very nice and classy. Give us your thoughts, though! For 25.00 or even at 39, we at RCB pay for our products WITH sponsors, whereas companies that take all free samples and sponsors have it much differently. RCB sources and personally purchases our full sized products to you to ensure you have a great full sized product each and every month. Also, the issue of the products being discontinued is highly misconstrued. VERY misconstrued. Buymebeauty.com, for instance, is a whole website dedicated to selling discontinued cosmetics as well as actually, LOTS more! Some of their things are also not cheap because they are very hard to find being that they are discontinued. We try very hard to bring you the best for your dollars spent.

We'd love polite feedback as to whether you would like us to send you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. We honestly want to know what you would like to see on the new website. I have been able to source very well as the owner very nice brand names in full size for you as well as some very unexpected things such as the Elizabeth Arden Tote bag with a full palette of makeup, sunglasses, creams, a cosmetics bag, and so much more! We also sourced out products we had never heard of and would like to try and also tried our very best, our heart and soul into December's bag.

Our specialty, our niche, kind of in the realm of buymebeauty.com, is finding you full-size cosmetics that may be discontinued, but it still perfectly fine to use and is sold still some of it at least in the mainstream market. Discontinued cosmetics, no matter how we've tried to explain it, are not very well received and the wording ''discontinued'' sounds negative to boot, admittedly. Even Jane cosmetics is going through a change right now and it was a concern for the VP that his packaging is changing very soon. I was so glad that I was to reassure them that I myself very much understand that discontinued can also mean just a new package /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />!!. Red Carpet Box can afford to give you a price with high quality, desirable goods by buying in wholesale. Also, it is a misconception that we buy from eBay. We do not buy fake cosmetics that could be harmful. The wholesalers site just for cosmetics buyers have PLENTY of lovely goods and some of the same wholesalers I buy from still sell their things on eBay as a company but not at the prices I am getting from them directly as a wholesale buyer's marketplace. If I see something on eBay WORTH buying and very thoroughly researched. Some of my wholesalers I work with have pointed me to only a few and trustworthy wholesalers who also do business on eBay. I honestly would have no problem with buying it as long as I read on the seller (high ratings, no fraudulent claims on them as a seller) .

My purses are not bought on eBay, they are from a wholesale site. Have we ever as a company bought from eBay or even Amazon? Yes, we have! But very little. We have a list of favorite wholesalers and that is our main way of buying. When this company was first formed, many mistakes were made, our mission is not to repeat them. Not only were eBay purchases made that turned into literal hell but I have learned so much even in this four months of being in in this industry. Please know that we are just growing, learning, and companies are starting to trickle in and sponsor us /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />! I always do explain what I do, even the discontinued cosmetics, and they are always okay with what I do. There is a niche for everything and our niche is not brand new, small samples in a little box (I like those, too, btw) but for our company, we also have a special niche in discontinued full sized cosmetics and that is why we can extend the prices that we do. Not ALL discontinued cosmetics are inexpensive, btw, a lot of them, because of their rarity, are actually really VERY expensive! Where do discontinued cosmetics come from? They are sold directly off the shelves of THE COSMETICS COMPANY THEMSELVES for RESELL to WHOLESALERS so that they do not lose ALL profit from discontinued lines, which even a package change can qualify a product for the term ''discontinued'' in some minds.

For those of you who have stuck in there with us, thank you. This has been such a grueling, extremely hard process just to explain our niche alone. We are different, very different from your standard subscription boxes. For those of you who have understood from the beginning, enjoy what we do, and have had patience and loyalty, thank you very much. It has been a long and hard road, with many emotions and many obstacles.

Also as founder, I'd like to announce something personal. Around seven months ago, I was diagnosed with a type of brain tumor that almost wrecked my entire life. It caused seizure at times, it caused hormonal imbalances, it was truly something. Now, at my last MRI scan, I am truly pleased to announce that without any treatment, I am tumor free!!! I chose only alternative treatments that included high dose vitamin IVs and many oils and vitamins and a LOT of ''freaky'' stuff most people wouldn't try, but I had no choice. Red Carpet Box was my hope that it would keep my mind healthy and occupied, excited and mentally upbeat. I hate to say that sometimes it did the very opposite /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. My neurosurgeon was so astonished. He called and was happy sounded, yet confused all at the same time, knowing how sick I had been. For a brain tumor to just disappear? Yes! I had half of Florida praying for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Now my doctor has said that there is an empty ''sella'' called empty sella syndrome and that might finally close and I won't have the migraines I have been having. When I first started RCB, I wondered if I was doing the right thing. I still wonder, of course.

Everyone who knows me personally has called this a miracle. Especially for anyone who had ever seen me in person. I am a mother first and foremost of all. I am mother with many who are absolute delights! My neurosurgeon said it might take a while for me to feel all the way better, maybe even months since essentially, there is a hole or something from the death of the tumor. I honestly don't understand it all the way. What I do know is this: I believe in miracles! I had been sick for years before the tumor was found! Now, all I want to do for my loyal and very faithful and understanding clients and even new clients is the very best I can. I hope you love what we will do on your new website! What a LONG post! I'm sorry, loves, LOL!. So much hubbub has gone on this founder's life! I am grateful to God for taking the tumor away and for this business, that kept me occupied and for the happy people who didn't have a clue how happy they were making this founder.....I truly appreciate every single one of you who have stuck this out with me. Thank you! I will keep striving to do my absolute best. Now, if you would, please give me some feedback. Would you like no jewelry and all cosmetics? Would you like jewelry and a handbag? Would you like ALL cosmetics? I'd LOVE to hear your answers and it will help me keep you happy and that is all that concerns me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. Thanks for your input!

Happy Holidays!

Is it me or is it quite cool in here. Everything is shady! hehe

sorry for the bad pun, just wanted to bring a little chuckle to the thread.

All joking aside, I'm probably going to write an update post to warn my blog readers about this service yet again. They actually have the nerve to jack up the price to Canadians to $50 (according to their FB page) Fifty?! I pay at least that to receive all the Canadian monthly beauty subscriptions; TopBox, Glymm, Glossybox, and I get current and up coming deluxe and full sized samples from reputable companies working with, actually acknowledging they are working with these services, and offer really good discounts and coupons to members. Why on earth or any other planet for that matter, would I pay $50 to get a box of leftover, wholesale, counterfeit, discountinued, etc. junk, when I can easily spend that on a high quality sub with the utmost professional and courteous customer service. I can't remember the last time, or any time, I complained about something with Glossybox or any of my other subs about something I was dissatisfied with and they replied with insults, threats, shipment back at my own expense, and useless explanations of why I should 'like' the product they provided. That being said, RCB needs to take a good serious look in the mirror/business plan, and actually formulate one instead of hiring people you met on the internet, using other forums to promote your business. Oh and fabricating sponsorships that clearly are not legitimate! Why is this so hard for them??????????

All we, as smart consumers, ask for is accountability, credibility, transparency and the ability to do our due diligence with fear of harassment or retaliation (such as release of private info!)

I guess this is just too much to ask Shady Red Carpet Box.

Ain't that the truth :S

 

[SiriusDreamer]

Just read her lengthy post!  Here's my 2 cents (hopefully she reads this, because someone needs to seriously help her out and provide her with some business advice):

The last 5 sentences was all she needed to convey an intelligent, thoughtful, and genuine concern for her company.

There was absolutely no need for aimless ramblings on how much she loves her own products, where she purchases them from, her business practices, and most definitely her personal life.  To express so much information in a professional setting (on her company facebook page) is unprofessional, insipid, and naive.  She has so much to learn.

I feel for her with having so many children and her medical situation.  I really do hope that she learns her lessons from this and finds a way to turn her company around to a legitimately profitable business, not a scamming little clique where she can stand on her soapbox and announce her problems to the world.  It's a business, not a therapy session.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

I just read half the novel she wrote and I'm confused. She says she doesn't buy from ebay but some of her wholesalers sell on ebay. She doesn't pay the prices that are listed on eBay. So is she saying she pays more, less? And just because you don't buy FROM ebay doesn't mean anything since the EXACT THING you sent was LISTED ON eBay. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say but she's buying the same listings as eBay just not on ebay so technically it's still an eBay item.

 

[glamourdolleyes]

Also, sorry for the double post, she mentions that another company sells discontinued items. Yes, they do, a few out there do but when you go to these sites to purchase, YOU KNOW THEY'RE DISCONTINUED. You're not promised a fabulous something (expecting it to be new, because what sample box sends out old (yes old) items anyways) just to find out they're discontinued. It's one thing to buy KNOWING and buy unknowing.

She contradicts herself - again. She states in one paragraph, "Also, it is a misconception that we buy from eBay." yet in the next she says, "Have we ever as a company bought from eBay or even Amazon? Yes, we have! But very little." To me her claims in one paragraph about not buying from Ebay is thrown right out the window when she admits to it.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

Vee, this woman is just a liar, pure and simple. She is bad, not-too-bright liar, but a liar none the less. The only reason she even admits this much is because we called her on her nonsense. Now she is trying to cover her messy little tracks.

 

[kawaiimeows]

Ok, has anyone else noticed that it seems like Jen has had less of a presence with the RCB on facebook, and Amanda also implied that she believed that Jen no longer was affiliated with RCB. I wonder what happened there?

 

[beautymadn3ss]

Wow that was SO HARD TO READ! A company doesn't ever use caps while writing to customers that's rude IMO. It is know(as one of the Khaleehsi's servant/slave ladies would say) that caps are like yelling. 

 

[Robinssa]

Maybe she should have called it, Discontinued Beauty Products Box to begin with or Flea Market Box. Old, discontinued cosmetics and Target brand costume jewelry does not equal "Red Carpet" in my opinion. I think soon she will be trying to sell her self proclaimed "freaky" cancer cures. Want to be Scam artist.

I call it the Yard Sale Box. There has never been anything red carpet about it. And what she doesn't seem to realize is that the sites that sell d/c products? The products are usually recently d/c or items that were popular and still have demand for them.
