I had only one problem with a pair of shoes about two years ago and easily exchanged it. I've been a member of Shoe Dazzle since... 2008 or 2009 I believe.


Got this from Sample Society this morning on Facebook.

Just joined, woo! I just saw the official line up for this month's myglam and knew I had start diversifying. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Has anyone tried getting a magazine refund yet? I found this: http://stag.condenastdirect.com/corp/beautybar/

I wonder what receipt they are referring to. There's no receipt of purchase in the dashboard. Maybe they will send you a confirmation when they charge your card? Or maybe you can use the statement for your card as the receipt?

What is the official lineup for this month's MyGlam.  I cancelled but just curious.

My account was charged and now my Dashboard says my first box is going to ship April 3rd.  Has anyone found out any news on this?

Check your bank account, you should have a charge for the March box, if so, your March box is being shipped to you already.

Looking through My Account page I see they ship UPS Ground, which is good news for me, since I get those faster than items shipped by USPS. I guess since they are charging us 15.00 a month they want us to get our boxes quicker /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got an email back about the call I made last night and the website saying April 3rd:

Hey there! 

I spoke with you yesterday regarding your membership into the Beauty Bar Sample Society, and the error message you saw saying that your first shipment was coming in April.  After reaching out to our Beauty Bar website team, and they assured me that your first shipment will be out to you in just a few days (on Monday!)—the April message you’re seeing is a technical glitch on the website that they’re working on rectifying. 

If you have any other questions, comments, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to contact our customer care department by phone (1-800-696-0423) or by email ([email protected]).  We're here to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Have a great day!

So it looks like the kits are indeed being shipped on the 5th and as yanelib27 said, they will be shipped UPS. That is awesome for us on the west coast since they're based in the LA area.. I should get mine on the 6th or 7th but people on the east coast might not have the same turn around time ):

ETA: NM, I don't think Sample Society is in CA. I was thinking of Sindulge! Although, their owner Quidsi is in CA.

I was reading the FAQ's and saw this:

When will my credit card be charged? Your card will be charged on your ship date each month. Your ship date is shown on your Dashboard. You can expect to receive your Sample Society box within 7 days of the ship date.

Mine says expected delivery March 5. Really excited for this one. I'm subscribed to Birchbox (year), MyGlam and Sample Society (oh and Julep, but I only got that for the 1 cent offer). I'd like to keep it at 3, but we'll see...

This is super exciting because i thought it would ship on March 5, and also really bold on their part to put a received by date. That tends to make people mad when the box doesn't get there when it says it should have.

 

[americanclassic]

Soo if I didn't get charged or get a shipping confirmation, I'm probably getting an April box? That's ok, I was one of the sneaky people who signed up through the glitch anyway.

I guess this might be good for me--I've spent a crazy amount this month (I'm usually really good about not being impulsive..) maybe it'd be best if I just cancelled, I keep forgetting how these sample companies add up every month but my bank account doesn't lol

Still haven't been charged but now my page says March 6 instead of April.   Hmmmm

 I was charged on 3/1 but my first ship date is supposed to be 3/5.....hmmmm.....I am confused.  If it shipped on the 1st, I have not received any shipping notification.

Most subs bill you on the 1st, then ship a few days  later. 

 

[javagirl87]

same here...except mine says Mar 5.  yesterday it said April. I signed up the beginning of Feb so I don't think I was too late in signing up...

I wonder if they used the day they actually cut people off from signing up as the cut off for March, and weren't able to include the people who got in through the facebook link? 

I signed up end of January I believe, and the charge went through just fine, and my account says March 5 again. 

Has anyone else noticed a correlation between sign up date and getting charged? 

They also fixed that funny sentence under shipment information to just "Your sample society box has not yet shipped."

And it now says "Order received"

I signed up in January.  My Dashboard says Order Received March 1st and the Expected Delivery Date is blank.  Anyone else have this?

Same here. But the front page says March 5.
