BeautyFIX March 2018 Box Update Info – $25 Gift Card
FYI - BeautyFix is giving all subscribers a $25 gift card to address the size discrepancy in the Peter Thomas Roth Mask:
Liz,
We want to thank you for being a part of our BeautyFIX™ family. We work hard to put together beauty and skin care products backed by professional ingredients and prestige. During the process, mistakes – albeit rare – can happen.
After the March BeautyFIX was shipped out for delivery, it came to our attention that the incorrect size for the Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Mask was included in the box. This was our mistake and we sincerely apologize for the mix up.
Please accept this $25 gift towards your next beauty splurge at Dermstore.com as our way of making it up to you.
In case you missed it, here are the March spoilers:
Dermstore offers professional-strength formulas from top skin care brands (otherwise only available at a dermatologist’s office), hard-to-find spa care and natural beauty brands, professional hair care and makeup products, and specialty brands from around the world.

I emailed their customer service and was assured a promo code would be emailed shortly…it’s been over a week since then and I have not received anything :/

This was only my third box, but I am so happy that I made my switch over. I am also grateful to beautyfix for handling this month’s box error. I used my $25 code to purchase a full sized REN that we all got a sample of last month. I don’t know if anyone else here suffers from severely oily skin, but if you do then that stuff helps tame the beast! I noticed it getting great reviews for brightening your face, but I’ll add that it’s magic on taming facial oils too. Apply it and let it dry before doing your daily makeup routine. Try it out and see if it helps you as much as it does me. 🙂

Did they send you an email or something in the mail? I have not received mine yet! 🙁

Yes, I got an email. Hope you get yours soon as well.

I am happy with the resolution. But has anyone broken down and calculated the value of the items even after the $25. It doesn’t look to me to add up to over $100 even with credit?

I don’t really think the value matters. The point was to give you the box for free and you still keep the box

I called their CS because I hadn’t received my email yet, and they let me know the emails are being sent out in groups…so if you haven’t received yours yet you should be soon. They said everyone should receive emails by Monday 🙂 I’m excited!

Check on the Dermstore Order history and make sure your order is there. Also did you get an E-mail confirmation of order?

I subscribed on the 2nd and my history isn’t showing either. Emailed customer service who informed there is a glitch in the system but sent a tracking number and said I am indeed subscribed. It’s my first time purchase with the company so I’m hoping the CS is as good as the reviews say.

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer either, yet you guys better make sure when you use these codes that it is actually showing up on the Dermstore history. I placed a order and used the code I owed 64 cents and paid it with my Paypal credit ( I have proof) never got confirmation order was placed. Looked on Dermstore history and there was no order placed. It is almost just like my order has disappeared but yet they debited my paypal. Very odd. Will try to phone them tomorrow. Yet something is not right here!

Well I don’t want to be appear Jean downer, but my experience is a little different. First, I loved the box even before the coupon code, comb and all. Over the weekend, I ordered two boxes. Then Monday, one of the MSA readers received her box and the mask was not even close to the promised size. She contacted Beauty Fix. Well I am a little frustrated because I never received any emails from Beauty Fix that there was a problem with the size of a product in the box. Luckily I belong to the MSA community and heard about it, but customer service means taking care of all of your customers. Well, then on MSA I hear there is a coupon code that is being emailed to customers. I have not received that yet. So I log on and do chat Beauty Fix. Well, they don’t know when I will get my code and have no way of knowing. Then I was told that even though I ordered two boxes, and even though the box is a blatant marketing misrepresenation, I will only receive one code. When I explained that I bought this in good faith, etc., and we went back and forth, The chat rep said she could put some points in my account that can be converted. Again, I don’t want to dampen anyone else’s experience, but why should I be penalized or have to go the matts (movie trivia) to get a code, especially when I have done everything and wanted this box. I even told the chat rep that I would post this, not to cause ill feelings, but if anyone else bought more than one box be aware of the outcome. My other option is I can send it in for a refund which because I don’t believe the customer should have to work harder than the business I am now leaning towards returning both because I am frustrated.

They sent me a code and when I placed an order using the code they did not honor the code so I said to myself forget it and cancelled my order and my sub with them.

I got an email with the code. When I placed an order using the code I got a confirmation that the order was being processed. The next day I got another shipping confirmation and the price was changed to full price as if I never even used the code. I emailed them telling them how disappointed I was and cancelled my order.

Geez, if you bought two boxes you should get two codes. That only makes sense to me since the $25 code is compensation for the one wrong box.

Look in your spam mail. That’s where I found mine. It had been there since yesterday. When I called today they said I wouldn’t receive it until next week. But I was reading how others had already received there’s so I went looking for it. Sure enough it was in my spam folder.

I’m in the same boat with 2 boxes and I’m also not willing to accept the one credit. They will need to come up with a better solution.

Sam
Don’t know if this will help but they advertise a retail value of over $100 per box. Without the credit the box is valued under $80. It makes the comb the highest priced item in the box.

I like this box.. I asked the CS if I could get second box instead of $25 code but I was told the box was no longer available..

I’d send you my box at cost plus shipping. Contact me mthsieg at gmail dotcom

I was totally bummed at first since I subbed to this box specifically for the PTR mask and $25 doesn’t allow me to purchase that mask. However, I found and ordered a PTR mask sampler with my $25 credit that actually amounts to more than 1.7oz and I ordered it completely for free with free shipping. Now I am excited all over again.

Reviewing and sharing your box on fb. And for normal purchases. Go to your account and look under dermstore points. You can review old boxes that you’ve bought. Hope this helps!

What a good company! I’ve been searching for a promo code for Beautyfix! Does anyone know if these unique codes are linked to email accounts or if they can be sent to someone else? Anyone want to try to swap them for something?

Yes. They do a good number of 20% off sales which I love. Next one they have I am using my gift of $25. Btw, tried that PTR mud and tat stuff is STRONG!!! Next time I will leave 7 minutes .. skin looks good just a bit tender and I’ve used serum, mosterizer, and hydrating moisturize and still. It’s got the strength of a peel. And that small jar will last me for at least two months if I use weekly.

Nope.. it doesn’t work.. They have 20% off skinceuitcals with code SKINC20 right now.. then I tried to use my $25 off promo code.. they only let use 1 promo code at a time.. You could save up your rewards and use them with the $25 promo code thought.
Melissa W.
I’m waiting for the 20% off sale too.. Right now, it’s skinceuticals that 20% off.. I’m a little concerned that they only allow one promo code, but I’m hoping that being it’s credit and not a coupon, that they’ll let me put in 2 codes..

Amazing customer service I wish the other subs would follow DermStore’s lead. They took full responsibility and owned the mistake. Just WOW.
Reply

I also think that Dermstore took care of this matter seriously and promptly. I bought mine on 3/6 knowing the size of PTR product size because it took the promo code Liz got for us. So I knew was going to be happy with my box for the price. I didn’t contact customer service, but did received the $25 code this afternoon. I have read the PTR mask is small, but I might get a few uses out of it if I use it only on T-zone. Looking forward to receiving my box.

You should receive an email. I just subscribed recently and got my shipping confirmation the other day. Earlier this afternoon I received the same email as Liz posted, with a confirmation number to use my $25 credit.

I don’t sub to BeautyFix but this is the kind of pro-active, client-centric customer service that makes me want to subscribe! Well done.

I think their resolve is more than fair and generous. Great job, Beautyfix!
I just hope people can appreciate this and not try to take advantage of a great company’s generosity and kindness by trying to find loopholes or angles. That is what ends up hurting us all in the long run- so let’s enjoy this great resolution!

So if I subscribe today will I get the $25 gift card and the March box?
Reply
Sam
I don’t think so, the website is showing the March box as sold out. I suppose they pulled it because of the mistake and won’t be selling it anymore. I think your first box would be April. You could email customer service just to be sure

It’s not available anymore. It’s for the people that ordered before the misunderstanding.

KarmicObserver
No. Come on now, That’s just greedy.
The gift card is to apologize and make amends for those who ALREADY purchased. Please don’t try to take advantage. This is how/why companies can’t keep costs down and deals coming. Tooo many greedy people quick to take advantage. Why would you think they owe you a gift card if they already openly admitted their error and made amends to those affected???
Not cool, girl.
Karma.

I’m happy with this solution. It’s basically the cost of the box. I was curious to see whether they were going to give it for the price if they PTR mask or the box. I didn’t see them spending the money for a full size mask to be shipped to every subscriber unless the supplier was in error and was paying for the masks. On another note I personally don’t like it when beauty subscriptions include sheet or eye masks and count them as full size products. I’ve had this happen with several different subs and it always feels like cheating to me. It’s an easy and cheap way around a promise for so many full size products. However the last sheet mask I got from Dermstore was $35 so I’m not including that one.

Liz – you left off the best part, the email is titled “There Should Have Been Moor”. This was already very good customer service, but I think they deserve some props for the excellent pun.
