I recently unsubscribe do from the “club” and getting my last Artisan box this month and I’m done with Globe in. I wish them all the luck in the world, but although the idea is wonderful to help others get ahead from countries that need help, I find that the concern for customers is underwhelming in a very competitive industry today. I did 2 years with this company, and bought many extras which I love, but alas…. One last broken item sent as a gift to someone with being told to send it back on her dime and they would replace it…. And that was it for me. Several emails later, and my note that I was up subscribing and they replaced the 12.00 item. Just too much work. But it was nice the first year for sure. Good luck GlobeIn! I really mean that too

I subscribed for the year when the increased the price to lock in my current price and now they’ve dropped it down to what I originally paid. I am pretty upset by this (happy for others who can subscribe since it’s an awesome box). I paid $420 to subscribe for a year and for subscribing i got punished with paying more for the rest of the year. Wish Globein would make it up to subscribers like myself with a refund in add on credit or something.

They didn’t really decrease the price for the old Artisan (now Premium) box. They charge $10 a month for shipping on top of advertised price (except first month). I did the calculations below on another comment. Your locked in price is still a deal.

The new pricing has an asterisk next to it and when you read what’s next to the asterisk, it tells you that there’s $10 shipping after the first box, so yeah, you did get a better deal as you gotta add $110 to the new yearly price.

I think this is a great idea. I used to sub then couldn’t afford to sub when it went up to $50. I’ll be rejoining for this deluxe option as it’s more appealing financially to me and I always loved the handmade products 🙂

Hi all, sorry about the confusion. We’ve introduced new naming that should make our product portfolio more understandable in the long run.

We are also emphasizing that our products are “club membership” instead of “box subscriptions” to remind customers that they gain access to exclusive products at discounted prices which can be added to their monthly shipments

So to clarify: all of our former subscriptions now fall under the Artisan Box Club umbrella, under which there are 4 levels: Premium, Deluxe, Essential and Starter.

The former “Artisan Box” (from $33) is now our Premium level. And the former “GlobeIn Club” ($10) is now our Essential level.

The newly introduced Deluxe level is for people who want the themed collection experience of Premium but at a more affordable price. The main differences are 1) Premium includes higher value products, 2) Premium members can choose from among curated theme options, and 3) Premium includes 4+ items while Deluxe includes 3+ items.

The other new level, Starter, lets you choose your products using your monthly fee as credit. So for example, if you sign up for the $10/month plan, each month you’ll receive $10 in credit that can be used towards purchasing member-discounted products. You can spend more than the $10 credit if you want, or you can save the credit until the following month at which point you’ll have $10 more in credit, so $20 total.

Hope that helps!

This is really upsetting that you posted this less than 3 weeks ago and you are not only taking away the deluxe option but you are making the people who subscribed to the deluxe option pay more even though they paid for a multi month subscription. I haven’t been this disappointed with a company in a very long time. It’s not even about the $ but the fact that you didn’t just honor what people had already subscribed to- and to boot less than a month after you launched the new tiers of subscription availability. Not a way to win customers- especially brand new ones.

Gee, that wasn’t confusing at all.

Why is it that Globein feels the need to complicate things more than any other subscription I’ve ever heard of?
Club, Sub…why the arbitrary distinstion?

Sounds like Starter is free since “if you sign up for the $10/month plan, each month you’ll receive $10 in credit “

The $10 monthly credit is the $10 you pay for the membership. Think of it like a Globein account that you pay into every month that you can then cash in for product.

will they finally stop exaggerating with the plastic and paper use in their boxes and act like they’re concerned about sustainability, like they claim to be? so many changes all the time with globein, but this one awful thing always the same.

I looked at the website and it seems that if you do the starter you can only choose one item depending on the price point of your sub? This is so confusing.

I was also pretty confused by this. After looking at their website it looks like “Premium” is just the old Artisan Box (at the new rate). “Essential” is the old Club subscription where you get one item a month. Then there is a new “Starter” option where your monthly fee just goes towards items you choose from the shop at the member discounted rates (nothing curated). I’m still curious what will be in the lower cost “Deluxe” option though. Is it just less items than the “Premium?” Is it also going to be new items every month or items from the shop that may have been previously featured in the Artisan box? Hope they give some spoilers so we can see what’s really going on. I’m already locked in at the old prices for the old Artisan (now “Premium”) box so guess I’ll sit back and wait awhile to see what comes out of this….

I’m so confused 😂
I just recently subbed to Globe In, do we still get to choose the monthly theme? How do we do that? And when?

JB

So wait, they went down to $33 for the regular subscription again, then the deluxe is different? Does it have less items?? Items different from the monthy themes?? Im so confused over this! lol

Yeah, it looks like they’ve brought the cost of the Premium box back down to $40 a month, or $33 if you buy it for a year (so $396 a year). Mind you, I recently renewed at a “special rate” of $420 for the year….

Clearly the $50/month new rate was not selling.

Oh…I just scrolled down and say that after the first month shipping is $10 a month for Premium. So that is $396 + $110 = $506. So rest assured you still got a deal. Interestingly, shipping is $5 a month for Deluxe and $3 a month for Essential….

LB

You probably still got a special rate…the $396 for a year does NOT include shipping. There is a little asterisk that says shipping is free the first month only. So it’s really $396 plus however much shipping is for 11 months… I suspect instead of the new higher price with free shipping they are just advertising a lower price PLUS shipping. Retail psychology….LOL.

Same here. 😂

I think you may have forgotten to include the new price of the Deluxe option. 🙂
