I think was FFF is trying (and failing) to say is that they only intended the code to be available to a select group of people – i.e. members of a certain site. When the power of the internet shared the coupon code that they only intended to be for one group – they pulled it.

I think they should issue individual one time use codes when they intend something like that in the future. I tried the code and it initially posted $20 off but I got distracted with my kids when I came back to website (page refreshed or something) it showed up as $10 off. I then remembered this same issue from their last box plus the cancellation horror stories. I personally would never subscribe to this box. It reminds me of a lip sub that MSA had stopped reviewing (they recently did one review) because of billing issues (theirs was double billing).

Thanks Liz for code š my card was only charged $29.99 and the $20 code did work but several bloggers posted it. They hit there max for $20 off code. So it’s not her fault for trying to help us out on discounts . I appreciate everything she does and love this site.

I agree! Thanks Liz! I was able to use the code and was charged the $29.99. I wouldn’t have subscribed otherwise. š

Honestly Liz I don’t think you should share/post these codes anymore without actually verifying with FFF that it’s legit.

I wouldn’t have ordered without this code, so I disagree.

I don’t know why my comment was deleted, but I want to express my feelings for FFF. I have never ordered a box, but have wanted to numerous times. However, FFF is always offering these $20 off coupon codes that are then denied. FFF claims that these codes are being sent by vendors’ mistakes; however, I do not believe this to be true. Instead of deleting my comment, perhaps you should portray the truth of how this company operates. All you have to do is search FFF on google or even browse through comments on here to see that they’re not a decent company.

Knowing web pages, if they are blaming the vendor it is a flat out lie. The fact that people were able to use the code and it was coded into their site to equal a $20 discount, means someone from FFF programmed that language into their web page. No vendor can go in and change the value of a discount code on FFF’s website. If the code never had a value or came up as $10 the entire time, then sure you might be able to pull off that argument…but that was not the case. It seems many people successfully used the code, before FFF changed their minds.

Same ole FFF. Good luck to all. I will never resubscribe. I lucked out in having zero issues when I was a subscriber. I’ll be checking the swap boards for items that interest me. Such a shame because the spoilers are good. Reading the comments here remind me of the comments from the last two boxes. The only difference is that FFF customer service seems to be more proactive this time. I hope it works out for everyone because the boxes have great items in it.
I do hope there is a giftcard for Bouqs in the box.

Hi Ladies!
We are SO sorry that a few of you were emailed in error. Unfortunately one of our billing emails was sent to a list of unsubscribed followers, we can’t apologize enough for any confusion or inconvenience . We’ve since sent a follow up email to everyone involved and want you to know if you did receive that email, your account is in fact canceled and you will not be billed. If you have any hesitations you can login to your account and it will say “Inactive” letting you know you are unsubscribed. Please also feel free to call us at 855-313-6267 (Mon-Fri 10am-5:30pm) and we can verify with you that your account is canceled. Sorry again for this error, thank you all for your patience and understanding as we grow.

FFF-
I really wanted to order a box; however, I am disgusted by your customer service. If a $20 off coupon code is sent out to people, then you should honor it- regardless of whether it was a vendor’s mistake (which I don’t believe it was) or if it was your own fault. This has happened numerous times. You do not sound like a legitimate company and you WILL eventually lose enough business to where you will no longer exist. Perhaps, you should try bettering your company and customer service. It is really a shame that I do not get to purchase a box, but I just can’t knowing what kind of company you are.

Really sorry if anyone was unable to take advantage of the offer. This coupon was reserved for bouqs members who are new to FFF. If someone used the code while it was active it was in fact applied to their account and we have not and will not remove any coupons from an account and charge the full price, ever. This was a limited offer for Bouqs members that has since expired. Apologies for any confusion or misinformation.

Received 3 pre-billing/shipment emails today, for accounts that were closed over 1 year ago, 2 years ago and 3 months ago respectively. I’m so sick of having to constantly call them to keep confirming accounts are closed. I have confirmation emails that all are closed but I can’t just let it go at that because last time around I was charged 3 times (all at full price) and had to fight to get them to rescind the charges. This is approaching fraud since I did not authorize the charges and have repeatedly asked that my stored account info be removed from their databases/servers. Short of canceling my credit card (which is utterly absurd and would create a huge hassle since it’s used for all of our bills via online/auto bill pay), I don’t know how to break up with FFF. Breaking up with FFF is like trying to shake a stalker. This time if I’m charged they’re going to receive correspondence from me in my attorney capacity. I am also placing a block on my card for any future charges from FFF. This effectively ends my relationship for good with them. And I’m ok with that. No matter how much I’ve liked their boxes over the last 2 years it’s nowhere nearly enough to compensate for the ongoing hassle in dealing with nonexistent customer service and fraudulent charging of closed accounts (to the tune of $150).

That’s pretty bad. This is my first and last box. It’s not that serious.

Not going to be happy if I get charged again and full price at that. If i end up with 2 boxes would send one to my sis, cancel and remove my credit card. Doesn’t Guiliana Rancic curate this box? Need to tweet her. Maybe she will fix it if her name gets put out there.

Guiliana Rancic has not been a part of this box for a very long time now. She has nothing to do with this subscription.

I sent them an email today just asking how I could apply the coupon code for the $20 to reactivate my account and then Alex emailed me back saying that code for $20 was a mistake and asked me if I would like to reactivate my subscription with $10 off and I emailed him back saying no thanks , then a few hours later I get a bill notification from them saying that I’m going to be billed on September 14 and my box for shipping soon !!
I can’t believe that I didn’t even reactivate it , I only asked a question and they just reactivate it without my permission , this is ridiculous?
I hope they get my email to cancel this in time

I got an email saying I would be charged on the 14th if I did not make any amendments, and my last box with them was last December! When I went to log into my account, and hit the “Cancel Account” link on the left side of the screen, it sent me to a blank page that said “Cancel Your Account” at the top… but nothing else was on that page. No link to click, nothing to select.
I sent them an email inquiry via their ZenDesk link on their site. I can only hope they’ll get it and address the situation before the 14th, because that’s only a few days away.

When I did order their Winter box back in December, I ended up getting charged for 2 and received 2. I emailed them and they said oh, just mark it return to sender and we’ll take care of it. I argued that they should provide me with a return label so it could be tracked. I didn’t want it getting lost or damaged, and have it be my word against theirs. They refused to budge.
I did as instructed and sent them an email informing them when I’d sent it back. A month later I had to contact them again to make them issue me a refund. That’s the reason I cancelled in the first place. Apparently they still don’t have their billing and customer service issues ironed out.

I was tempted by this deal, but I remembered how cancelling went and didn’t buy last night.
I cancelled after the spring box, then was charged for the summer box. I contacted them multiple times, finally received a response and a confirmation of the cancellation.
Today, I got an email titled “Your Upcoming Billing Notification” stating that my card would be charged on the 14th, and my box would ship soon. Nothing they could send in a box would convince me to sign back up at this rate. :/

I just got the same e-mail for my de-activated account! I called their number and got someone on the phone who said they accidentally sent out a bunch of e-mails to the wrong people. She confirmed for me that my account was de-activated and I wouldn’t be getting a box, but I demanded an e-mail confirming it. She said the best she could do was give me a screen shot of what she sees saying that I no longer have an active account, so I had her send me that. At least I’ll have something to dispute the charges if they try to charge me. I hate that this happens every single time a box comes out!

By the way, their number is 323-454-2220. They have an 855 number that doesn’t even ring, it goes right to an answering machine. I encourage everyone to call and get it straightened out like I did!
Maddy
Wow, this is getting me worried!! It all sounds so shady!! How can they charge you after they already sent you a confirmation informing you that your subscription was cancelled? Did you remove your card from your account? I hope you’re able to cancel your account for good this time – it seems like a huge hassle! Now I sorta wish I hadn’t signed up for the box last night since I only wanted this one box and planned on cancelling after I received it! š

I can’t figure out how to remove my card from the account without adding another card. I did finally get an email response, after leaving a voicemail on their 323 number and emailing this morning. The rep said I would not be charged, and the email was a mistake. It’s weird that they have those kinds of ‘mistakes’ so often, but hopefully its fixed!
I am planning to go get a one time use credit card to swap the account over to, so that way I don’t have to contact them every season about this.
Elise
I feel the same way…YIKES! Ordered last night because of the deal and I’ve loved every spoiler but wasn’t planning on keeping it going forward unless I loved the box…now i’m scared!

Same thing happened to me. I kept the email from them (after the impossible attempt at closing my account) that finally confirmed my account was closed back in June. Just received email stating they are going to bull me Sept 14! What???

I got the same email just now saying I was to be billed. Furious, I tried to call the customer service line. It went straight to voicemail. I kept all my old FFF emails due to their horrible customer service and the fact that I keep canceling, yet they keep rebilling me. I canceled for the first time back in 2014, then again in March, was billed for spring even though I had canceled and finally got another email confirmation of cancellation in June. I have all the emails saved. They better not charge me on the 14th like that email says. I will keep trying to call CS.

The same thing happened to me! I am chatting with their customer service. They assured me the email was a mistake and cancelled accounts would not be charged. I am not sure if I trust it.

The phone number always says it has a full voicemail and no one is available. If you give the email a shot, it generally takes 24-48 hours for a response. Be detailed in your message and reply right away if you’re unsatisfied with the response.

same here! Would be illegal to try to change the charged amount anyway..they had a coupon code earlier during the day which was laborday for $10 off.. Who they think they are fooling by trying to say that “bouqs20” really meant $10 off??? Didn’t they try to pull the same bs last month??might be my first and last box if they keep up with their shady biz motto!

My email and pending charge on my credit card also say $29.99! I’m pretty sure they can’t change it but they could possibly refuse to honor the discount and cancel our orders. I’m excited to finally give this box a try and plan to upgrade to a full year if I really like this one but if they refuse to honor this discount I’m out.

Just an FYI for everyone… I used the code last night before we realized it was an “error”. The $20 off was applied in my cart but when I checked out… I got a confirmation email saying I was charged full price. I was confused so I emailed them and this was their response… Thanks for writing in! We apologize for the confusion, it appears the terms for the code BOUQS20 were released with an error by our vendor. We do not have $20 off promotions and all discounts offer a maximum discount of $10 to your first seasonal box.
Looking at your account it appears your subscription did not go through with any promotional codes. Would you like us to apply a $10 discount to your order and refund the difference?
Sigh. I think I’ll just cancel because I don’t like when companies refuse to honor something that was their mistake.

They call the code BOUQS20, make it work for $20 off for a short time, then say it’s really a $10 code and expect us to believe that? Why not call it BOUQS10 if it’s $10 off? My order was processed for $29.99 and I have a confirmation email so they’d better honor it. >:{

i was going to cave….but realized the upcoming wedding I’m going to stand up in will be expensive, so I connected with my rational, budgeted mind and said no. Then I laid in bed and remembered my current umbrella is actually falling apart and that’s obviously a complete emergency and got up and immediately purchased this box. Lol Welllll, rational mind won the first round at least?! I did skip the Julep mystery box this month too! I’m getting stronger each day I swear! Lol

I have drastically cut my subscriptions to three (PSMH, Powell’s, and Pennie Post) due to lack of funds and an over abundance of some items (makeup, blue anything ?). This was too impossible to resist. Although, I did hear an echo of ex-President George Bush Sr. in the back of my mind – “Read my lips. No new taxes, errrr BOXES. No new BOXES!!!!” Yeah, I just ignored it.
