Red Carpet Box

[nelliebelle1197]

I read her Facebook posts to customers. The fawning is just bizarre. Again, we MUT'ers need to pledge to NOT subscribe to these living room boxes!

Could the earrings or sunglasses have been from a Little Black Bag trade? I know she has a LBB account since she followed me on there before the whole debacle took place.

No, I don't think its from lbb. I've never seen those eearrings on lbb (and I've spent too much time and money there, lol), and the sunglasses in the picture posted earlier in this thread from an ebay auction on page 5 to the pictures of her sunglasses for the bags posted on FB, I'd say they are from ebay, and the earrings are from that "wholesale" jewelry place she posted the link from.

Wow- definitely that lot. You match them up to the pic easily!

 

[zadidoll]

Ahhh. I see now. Why do people do that? I get that there's money to be made in beauty box subscriptions but people are not stupid, they're going to look into things if there are problems with the products received. I just don't get why people thinks that consumers are not savvy in this day and age.

I find that this company has a huge lack of respect toward customers! If you dont't love your expired products get ready to be dleted from her facebook and email! The only two ways of contact she will block you from contacting her for a simple comment of dislike! Very unprofessional in talking about your buisness the (client ) in other forums! I also wish her little followers of friends would see instead of following her upset customers help her in her service provided! Someone else should handle her customer service because she is way to defensive to handle the task ! Which is fine but maybe some customer service should be hired to handle people in a kind matter!

Agreed. Sadly, we all know her business will not survive. It's easy to fill 75 slots, but if you can't keep a customer base, it will get harder and harder to fill those slots month to month. Especially when each month, the negative reviews grow higher and higher. I still see her facebook posts, she hasn't blocked me because I haven't complained to her. If she read my blog and figured me out, I would be long gone by now. LOL. It's just hilarious to see the way she talks on her facebook. The way she goes on and on and also includes defensive but peppy comments like those zadidoll included in her screen capture of Patty's/RCB's facebook. If I was a new or potential customer, I would be wary of her including comments about blocking people who request refunds with paypal. RED FLAG, much?

My glasses are in BOTH photos....coincidence?

I realize this is only my second post on here and all you can do is take my word that the pictures of my glasses were exactly how I received them. With that-

It has to be this lot because my Big Buddha glasses are one of the few that did not have neither the UVB/UVA protection sticker nor a Big Buddha item # or label on the arm. I am pretty sure every pair of eye/sun glasses have a sticker or bar code somewhere. When I got mine I was wondering what the heck was up with no sticker on the lens or arm. From the eBay lot pictures you can see that only a few have no sticker or tag. Just to compare my pictures to the eBay ones-











An odd coincidence if you ask me.

This also saddens me, because I was excited with Patty about her box and, I wanted so badly to support a work at home mom.

Also, if she is going to be a lawyer, she needs to learn about proofing. Her about page on Facebook gives at least two different answers on what qualifies for a refund.

Hi,

I don't understand what is going on with this forum, but I purchased a Red Carpet Box and I am thrilled to pieces. I loved the sunglasses, the French Manicure email polish and all the other goodies I received and will sign up again next month for sure.

I compared photos and styles in all of the photos. I  wanted to be sure I  was right before posting any of the links.

This is a screenshot of the invoice she posted and then deleted. I did edit out her personal info. The item description on the invoice exactly matches the wording of the item title here. http://www.cheapwholesalejewelry.com/shop/qvc-quality-earrings-gift-boxed-retail-79.99-each

Wait... she posted her personal information on her Facebook business page?! Wow. I'm shocked anyone would do that.

You see it when you pay by PayPal also. It gives the same address.

yup and there was a string of about 10 ranting comments with that photo only by her. And all she did was prove they aren't Qvc earrings and that she's clearly not thinking before posting. It was on her facebook for nine hours before I took that screencap. I think she deleted it soon after.

 

[zadidoll]

Wow.

 

[lmillerrome]

And another thing is that for $25.00, I got way more than I expected.

It's great that you like your box, unfortunately some members received products that were expired and discontinued. I would suggest checking your own products to make sure it hasn't expired and isn't discontinued.

For $25 I rather go to Ulta or Sephora and buy things I want - I know how to coupon and shop so I can pick up some hot new items for less than $25. Like today, I plan on going to Ulta to get some NYX eyeliners - 20% off and I have a $5 off $10 coupon. I could also get two MyGlam bags for $20 or even a Glossybox for $21 (and despite the lack of customer service least the products are not expired or discontinued).

So, up front, I am going to admit that I am a friend of Patty's.  However, I also bought one of the first 50 VIP slots to her business.  I received my product in a timely fashion.  I was amazed to receive so many products that I enjoyed for only $25.00.  The Big Buddha sunglasses were worth more than the $25.00 on their own, and with the other cosmetics and earrings it made the box worth far more than $25.00.

I guess that I can understand it if some folks were not satisfied with their products - maybe you didn't like the styles, or cosmetic choices and that is a legitimate topic for this forum.  However, getting products that you don't care for is the risk you take with any subscription service.  It does not justify KEEPING the products AND asking for a refund (like some of you have suggested is your intention).  That is ridiculous and downright wrong.  Just don't buy another box if you don't like what you got.  Or, if you got a defective product - prove it - and I KNOW that Patty would send you a replacement.  But, to say that you didn't receive your money's worth is just ridiculous.  

The reality is that there will always be customers who will try to take advantage of businesses, and business owners have to keep clear boundaries to protect themselves from that.  After reading some of the posts in this forum it seems pretty clear that is what some of you are trying to do.  

On another note, to think that Patty does not have legal advice is ridiculous.  Her husband is a longtime legitimate businessman. 

My personal hope for Red Carpet Box is that she is able to persevere beyond all of this, get CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and feedback, and grow a business that pleases lots and lots of ladies out there.  She is in this for the love, and I will definitely be a continuing subscriber.

i think it's great that you're happy! i just hope you know that for what you paid for, you could've gotten more (or better) elsewhere.

the earrings in the lot they came in came out to about $3 a pair based on the link posted a few posts above

the sunglasses in the lot on ebay mentioned earlier in this thread also came out to about $3 each

i haven't checked each and every stila product sent out, but the stila tinted moisturizer (which i believe is expired) ranges from 5-9 dollars each, depending on the ebay auction.

the avon eyeliner goes for about $5 on ebay.

(the last two products i'm being generous on, you can get them for as low as 2-4 dollars it appears, depending on the timing and the auction)

Mamma - I dont really think we are complaining about price points! The fact of the matter is I have screen shots of items that were to be in bag this month! That is what I purchased! Patty said herself on facebook these would be in the boxes but wernt because she couldnt get it to fit! How did she not know that purse was not going to fit? Sounds like she didnt wanna spen the extra money to up it to the next size box! Also i got a personal email sayin korres shadow would be in the box! If you have seen my video I did not receive that! As I think many of us know in here Party loves to post and delete things on her facebook! But I assure you everything has been screen shot and I will be puttin all the peices together tonight! Yes it is a box but when she gives a preview before we pay i expect it to be in the box. As a purchaser I have the right to decide if I wanted that or not! So she can stop talking about whats in the box if she doesnt want this to happen again! The fact of the matter her customer service is terrible! Yes you can even see that in my screen shot ! She called me ungrateful and honestly dumb on her owb website that she deleted as well! Enough is enough . All she talks abou is having so much money! If you have so much money youshould have just shiped ne another stila with the proof picture i sent! Why should i waste more money to send her an expired product sje sent me which she claimed to have inspected everything before it went put ! Which clearl is just not the case!  If you enjoyed your box and dont know the diffrence in quality between boxes then cheers to you! I on the other hand think pattys box makes my 10$ birchbox look amazing!
