Social Bliss

[ChicagoBlonde]

I contacted SB about returning the May box and this is the response I received:

We had a change in our returns policy back in February where we do not accept returns in most cases; however, I do see that your account is an exception and returns are allowed for you since you have been an active member prior to February 20, 2014.

For a return, the complete box will need to be sent back. The shipping fee to return the box is covered by the subscriber, so my suggestion is to "Return to Sender." Once we receive the box, we will go ahead and credit your account.

They also gave me a RMA number so you do need to email them first about returning the box o' Dollar Store treats.

I sent my box back too.  They never refunded me but my credit card did

That quoted "Return to Sender" made me wonder if they were implying I should write that on the outside and chuck it in a USPS mailing bin. I'm not sure how well that would track and I'd prefer to spend the 5$ or so to ship it back my way with proof. SB is really tumbling down right now.

That's really weird, because when a package was returned to me, the post office made me pay shipping. Seems weird Social Bliss would want you to return to sender when they don't want to pay return shipping.

So strange.

I had to pay the return shipping on mine

I just want to say, for those thinking of subscribing who may be scared off by the negative feedback in this thread, I think Social Bliss has been great so far and is definitely worth trying out. I didn't like the last box and honestly I may cancel if I don't like the next one. However, I have found that the curation is well thought out and that the quality of items is usually high. It's a pricey box and so it's not one that I can afford to give a ton of second chances too, but i have a gotten a few items I plan on keeping forever. And I've received good customer service from them when I got a defective item.

Good customer service ????  They do not answer any email ever .  They do not respond. I do not consider 10 dollar plastic purses or cases high quality items. I got the sub  for 3 months. One plastic purse was ok  but one each month from the same brand??  They get discontinued and dollar store items.  The lowest quality around.  I am glad you like it. I got way better things to do with my 50 dollars  !!   Do not waste your hard earned money on this.  Get popsugar ipsy birchbox.  Established good companies  all with actually physical addresses not some box in a building that they rent for storage as I found out social bliss does.

Yikes, sounds like you had a really bad experience. They did answer my emails, so they do at least answers some emails sometimes. I guess I'm not sure what materials most purses are made of (other than real leather which I wouldn't expect from a $50 sub) but whatever the materials I really like the last two actual purses we received. (The coin purse was okay, but not my style.) I'd love to know where I can buy one of the purses (not coin purse) for $10.

That part about the storage building is creepy. They don't have an actual office? That makes me wary.

I love Popsugar too, definitely prefer it over SB, but I love subscription boxes in general and like to give new ones a try. Definitely, there are better things to spend $50 on (or even $10 since I found Birchbox was a total waste of money for me.) I still believe that if someone is wanting to try a new sub SB might be worth a shot for some, obviously not all. I would not recommend committing to longer than one month for any sub until one knows if they like it.

The only box I've received that I actually felt was a total scam was Her fashion and Her fitness. It was a total money sucking disaster for me. So expensive and so hard to cancel. Horrible trashy, poor quality items. Atrocious customer service. After that, I guess SB looks good. But even those junk Her Fashion box items were worth something. I swapped a whole box to a woman and even warned her that the quality of the items was poor. She got the box and loved it! To each her own.

I've been a subscriber since the beginning, and I have to say that I'm still holding out hope for next month.  Did anyone notice their new cover photo on Facebook?  I'd be happy to get pretty much any of the items there...

SPOILER ALERT!  

There is an Ulta lip product in this month's box apparently.  Probably made in China.  The bonus item is a bag of makeup sponges.  I am so glad I canceled my subscription.  Just not worth 50.00 a month in my opinion.  There is also a ring, a pair of sunglasses (cheap) and a wrap.  Value is around 100.00 total.  

 

[northwest22]

Ramblings of a suburban mom has the spoilers. The sponges look like more dollar store junk, but other than that it's and okay box. Not worth $50 to me. I said I would give them one more try after last month's junk. This box okay, but I'm canceling. Wish I had ordered the first 3 months when they were trying to impress everyone. Maybe I will out $50 aside every month for a purse fund, since those purses are what drew me in.

 

[ikecarus]

I'm really glad that I only subbed for April, because the bag they included in that month was the only one I liked. (even though I didn't get the color I wanted, haha) This is not worth $50 a month to me either. :/ 

 

[stasi7]

I'm actually looking forward to this box. I love everything, especially the wrap and sunglasses. The makeup sponges were just a bonus and will come in handy. I'm glad there wasn't another purse. I don't need anymore purses. I was really hoping for that necklace they had pictured on their Facebook page, though.

 

[JLPeach]

Hmmm- I am very torn on whether to cancel (and probably have to make up my mind ASAP before they charge me for another 3 month sub). I agree with stasi7 that I like this box. There isn't anything in there that I would be compelled to trade away (unless the kimono looks horrible on me). I think this gets back to the point- to try trends/fashion items that I wouldn't necessarily buy for myself. I've been intrigued to try out a kimono and I think that the magnetic nail polish is really cool (and like the essie brand). Everything else is something I will use. Nothing wrong with a cheap pair of sunglasses for when you are out on a lake or doing something that would risk losing/breaking sunglasses. That said I am not 100% positive whether I like it enough to re-up my subscription. I liked the purses, but understand that at some point people would have too many. I kind of wish that they would still have a WOW item that just makes me feel without doubt that this was a really good deal... not that I know what would be a good substitute for the purse. It would be cool if they had a profile that allowed us to give sizing information- I think it would give them more options.

Thank heavens for that preview, I just cancelled. What a pile of dollar store and discounted items. The only thing that seems to be in the realm of what they promise is the Essie polish and I believe their line of magnetic polishes came out in late 2012/early 2013 so it's not even the newest Essie line. The shade of Ulta lip gloss isn't on their site anymore so I'm assuming it's discontinued and Ulta currently has that line of glosses on sale at 2 for 8$. I can't find the ring anywhere but I'm guessing it's on Alibaba if someone wants to dig. The sunglasses look like something you buy at a gas station when you break yours on a trip.

The kimono wrap by Fate Inc doesn't look like it's worth 50$. Fate Inc appears to be an Australian clothing line and all the sites I found their items on have them marked down around 50%. Not exactly the cutting edge fashion and exclusive products SB is claiming. I'm not even going to comment on the bag o' sponges

Wow another month of not good items. Not impressed. I canceled also

 

[dayzeek]

Ick...a box full of bleck. I tried to unsubscribe last month, but just missed the cutoff. What I'm most excited about is that this will be my last box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the discontinued items they send are what really turned me off .. They are supposed to be more on trend I feel

 

[Baublesntreats]

I just got my shipping notice!  I should get my box on Monday.

I'm OK with this box.  It will depend on how the wrap looks, but there is a strong likelihood that I will use everything in the box, so that works for me.  I like this one better than last month's, so I'll keep subscribing for now.
