I never got my Winter Box or this set. I paid for the full year subscription. I received an email on January 9, 2019 that they missed my order and will be processing it right away and that they ran out of this set – instead they are sending me the Kopari Lip Love and Coconut Rose Toner. I have both those items and not only do I not want them, but they are no where in value to the items promised. I am also being sent some jewelry from the Zoe collection as compensation with a value of $100. I haven’t received anything or any kind of response and today is 1/23/2019. I have no idea when I will receive my box or what the heck will be in it, but I am worried about a bunch of these boxes and us consumers getting scammed.

It is February 5 and I still have received no box and no explanation. I have emailed them several times to no avail.

I finally threatened a class action lawsuit on their Facebook page and lo and behold, I get an immediate email response that my winter box less a lot of stuff will be sent overnight. I am very angry with this. Liz, you should contact them because I got this deal and a year long subscription because of you and your reviews.

I replied to your comment but it did not post.

Apricot

Ludicrous. They totally deserve a class action lawsuit, they are so shady and irreputable. I ordered in the wee hours of the morning after the beauty bundle posted and I emailed them after to confirm, which they did and I did not receive two of the items. And yet they promoted the Oribe lipstick a week later. What is that?

NOW THE LIARS ARE TRYING TO SAY IT WAS A ‘WHILE SUPPLIES LAST’ PROMOTION AND IT WAS NOT!! I AM BEYOND PISSED

I’m super mad as well. Total bait & switch. I will never order the box – nor items from RZ website again. In fact, I ordered clothes from Rachel Zoe website over the holidays that I will now be sending back. HORRIBLE Company – Rachel Zoe Box of Style

Reply ButtonReply

pb

i’ve posted this before but please make sure y’all remove your card details from your BOS account asap – even if you have to go to target and pay a $4 fee for a visa gift card with a zero balance, it’s worth it to not have yet another potential headache – they have charged people for next season’s box even though their BOS account was cancelled

best advice can think of at this point would be either insist that the $40 off promo be applied and credit issued or dispute charge with your credit card

Mish

SAME! Bait & Switch!!! I would NEVER recommend this company – or any rachel zoe branded items – to ANYONE. HORRIBLE. I ordered ASAP and they didnt ship for a month. How was mine one of the ones that was missing items?

I received the kopari substitute products today. What a rip off, given that I only ordered for the beauty bundle, the smith and Cult palette and the oribe lip stick. Hard to believe that they can even consider calling that a fair trade off!

Cay

They sent me the same response. I’m furious. What a horrible company! Check out their Better Business Bureau reviews.

They posted another promotion with the Oribe lipstick a full week after the Beauty Bundle promo, so, whaaaaatttt are they talking on about?!?

Reply ButtonReply

Janet

Well, apparently, per my conversation via email with Oribe cs rep named Ashley R, ‘I am not aware of Box Of Style being an authorized distributor of Oribe.’ There is no positive movement happening around this issue at all. I’m sorry I saw MSA as endorsing BOS, my error in judgement.

Janet

I keep getting emails from them saying they are so busy they cannot get back to me yet. Ya, if they weren’t cheating everyone, they wouldn’t have all of these emails to respond to. I contacted both Oribe and Smith and Cult. Oribe says this “I am very sorry but this is not an issue that we would be able to help with as I am not aware of Box Of Style being an authorized distributor of Oribe. This issue would have to be taken up with Box Of Style. Thank you and have a Happy New Year!”
Smith and z Cult had this to say just this morning: “I reached out to my contact at Box of Style and she let me know that if you reach out to their customer service team that they will send you the missing products!” Well I’ve been reaching out for a couple of weeks and gotten nothing in response from them, except that they are too busy to respond.
This BOS stands for more than box of style….
They have really hurt themselves and I hope MSA will stop supporting them by posting their fraudulent offers.

Agree – @liz someone needs to do something about it. I bought this because of MSA.

Apricot

I haven’t heard back either since the, ‘sorry, we’re busy’ email. It’s unacceptable and feels purposely dishonest.

Lily

i received all the products, but my hair stylist strongly discourages the use of Amika products, I do not wear red lipstick nor brown eyeshadow.
Basically, I got the box at a good price and the Osea oil, of which I have a full bottle already.

My Luv AJ ring just fell completely apart the second time I wore it. Grossly horrible quality.

Reply ButtonReply

Cindy

Please share why your hair stylist discourages the use of Amika products. There is one that I really like so curious.

Reply ButtonReply

Lilly

I don’t know exactly why my professional stylist at a top Dallas salon doesn’t like Amika except that she says their products are not as good as what she wants me to be using, based on her experience. As she sells no products herself, I think it’s based on products from Amika she got at a show in L.A. plus results she’s seen on her hair when using them.
She also will NOT use Redken if I bring a Redken product in from a box, which is rare, anyway.

I take a LOT of my sub box hair care products in to her when I’m getting services to see what she does with them in my long curly thick hair and also to find out what she thinks about them, and she loved the Oribe styling creme, had good things to say about my Alterna caviar anti-aging collection, and said ” Living Proof is good enough”. Also, likes the Brigeo products OK, and loves the finishing oils from Alterna, with ALL products from Obliphica for coarse hair being her favorites I’ve brought in.

She uses Obliphica for coarse hair on my hair in the salon, and says it is the best for me. Note that I’ve only received one tiny hair shine product from that brand in 2 years in a sub box and I think it was either from Net A Porter or maybe Look Fantastic. The brand is salon quality, top tier salon quality, she says, and I’ve found the brand does not sell to the sub boxes in the USA.

Apricot

I was wondering this also. I looked up the ingredients and they seem ok.

Apricot

If I may ask, when did you receive your box?

Reply ButtonReply

Anne

Did you complain and they sent you the two extra boxes? That’s odd. Did you receive your box in December or January? I still haven’t gotten anything.

Lilly

I don’t recall now, but in just few days after Liz posted the 3 item bundle with the discounted box. I had no intention of buying it until that deal posted, then ordered immediately.

I got everything extra, in a special gold RZ BOS box inside my larger BOS. I think there’s something wrong at this company’s HQ, but I got exactly what I ordered. Also, I got 2 Fall BOS free. They simply thought my first one was lost and sent out a second one free of charge.

Cay

Has anyone received any response regarding the missing lipstick and palette? I have submitted inquires on their website, but of course, havent heard anything back. Thanks for any updates.

Hi Liz! I just got my box but only received the OSEA. I did this deal the same day and am missing the 2 other items. I’ve been emailing Box of Style for the last week as I’d been waiting on tracking. I have yet to hear back from them. Is there any way for you to check if they were only sending the one item.

Finally got my shipping notice for this. 2 day shipping YAY!! Should be here tomorrow !! I can’t wait 🙂

I got my shipping notice too and should be receiving my box tomorrow. BUT… I also got an e-mail from their Customer Service saying that complete bundle is no longer available, but they will only be sending Osea oil (no Oribe lipstick and Smith & Cult eye-quad). I am thrilled that my box is finally on the way, but super bummed that they are not delivering on promised free bundle even though I subscribed within few hours after the deal was announced 🙁

Reply ButtonReply

Elise

omg WHAT?? I did not get that email! I am going to be so pissed if I dont get the full bundle! I was already pissed they offered an extra $15 off a few days later but I was telling myself the bundle was worth the extra $15 so they better include the full thing!! Wow.

Janet

And, they offered the lip stick on another a few days after this one. This company really knows how to test one…

Jen

WHAT?! How can they not send what we bought!? First I was mad that they had $40 off just days later, then mad that it’s taken them a month to ship it- and now this!? If I don’t get what I paid for, I will be disputing the charges on my credit card.. I was always hesitant to sub with them bc of the warnings in the comments from all you amazing ladies on here, and now I see why BS is BS!!

robin

Lucky. No two day shipping for subscribers. We don’t get our boxes til after Christmas. What a lousy company

Elise

WOW that is lousy!! I thought that all existing subscribers had already gotten theirs and mine was coming in the last round! They should have shipped all existing subscribers before any new ones!!

Rochelle

I feel horrible for subscribers. That’s awful that people buying this box later (including myself) get it by Christmas and you don’t! I’m so sorry.

Natalya

I ordered this deal back on Nov 23 and as of today no shipment. I just checked my account on Box of Style web site and now it says I am supposed to get the edition box where SR Luna is not included. The only reason I got the box at the end was because of this product. I am not even mentioning the bundle at this point. Liz, is there a phone number to reach out to the customer service? I don’t want to end up with the box I don’t need and not what I signed up for.

Janet

I finally received shipping notification that it should arrive Friday. We’ll see, everything coming FedEx has been delayed where I live. Hopefully that’s just so they can arrive as first scheduled and look awesome… Either way, I’m excited!!

I ordered at the beginning of November – no shipping yet. My box contents also lists the SELECT box. I am going to be FURIOUS if I do not get the original winter box. I do have confirmation of my ring selection, so I am seriously hoping this is a glitch. Can you guys update us when/if you hear back from customer care?

Reply ButtonReply

Natalya Burlakova

Hi Ladies, as I said in my earlier msgs, I was upset and furious yesterday when I saw what was listed on my account order that I bombarded customer servuce from all possible angles (emails, complain forms, fb pists, fb messanger). And here is the response I got to one of my requests: “Hi there, all renewing subscribers and new orders before 12/3 will be receiving the Winter Box, with all the great products this season. We are sorry for the mix-up on our site. This is reflecting the new Select Box as we have never sold 2 Boxes in one season we are still figuring things out. We will update the site and fix any bugs as fast as we can. Your Winter Order will be the Winter Box Thanks !” THERE IS HOPE for us!!! I keep my fingers crossed, but will not believe it until I see it 🙂

Natalya Burlakova

I did also sent them email plus submitted the form on their website and on top of it sent msg through facebook. I am still hopeful that they deliver what was promised to us otherwise I will file complain as I have all the proof if what the product should be vs what they deliver. I hope customer service rep reads our complains and acts fast.

Reply ButtonReply

AH

I’m right there with you! Mine shows the ring I selected…but also lists all the items from the newer box. They don’t have a customer service number, and their response times for emails is awful (if you can even get a response at all!). I’m going to email them, (and take a screenshot of my email, showing date stamp on my computer so I have proof) about this. If ordered 11/22, and like you ordered specifically for the SR. I am hoping it’s just a glitch on their site…but if they send me the other box, which I have no interest in, I’ll file a chargeback with my credit card. I like the RZ boxes…but their customer service is AWFUL!

robin

I am a seasonal subscriber and my account is showing the select box also. I already received these items. Who wants to pay full price for the same things! No phone number. You have to email them and they don’t respond. Go to twitter. This is a bait and switch.

kristin

Thank you for posting this! I just checked and it is the same for me…the order notice lists the edition contents instead of the winter box contents. I am emailing immediately to cancel and hopefully get a refund. Total fraud!

I would like to purchase the winter box as a gift using this promo discount code, does anyone know if my friend would get it for certain before Christmas? Also, since I just want to give it as gift, do I get charge if I can’t cancel (after seeing all those bad CS reviews)?

My experience was super different. I received one of the most wonderful cs. my first subscription was the one that had the Kate Somerville cream… My towel was damaged and they sendme a replacement without any questions. I didn’t want to pay 99 for the next box, so I just email them asking for a cancelation request, Again without any question they just reach to me and letme know that the suscription was Cancel. Im not going to lie I was super afraid to subscribe because of all the bad comments about cs, but it wasn’t true, And I know about bad cs I already receive it from allure even fabfitfun!!! Don’t be afraid and take the risk, you’ll not regret it!!! I already open a new account and take advantage of this awesome offer, just for Sunday Riley!!!!!! Sorry I’m from Mexico and my English is so so….

OK, Maria, I’m giving it a try. Hoping that my experience is as great as yours. Thank you for sharing, so many times the positive comments are never stated, leaving us to wonder if anyone has had a good experience. Thanks again. It’s worth the risk, I believe…. Be blessed!!

Thankyou!!! Im Really glad to know my experience can help other people. 😉

For everyone complaining about cancellation please let me tell you about a little trick. I keep an old credit card or Visa gift card (with $0 value) around. After I get the box I want, I cancel (or attempt to) then add the old cc info just in case they try to charge me again. I have never had a problem since i started doing this.

I’ve been with Rachel Zoe since the very first box in Summer 2015 . I always cancel after each season so that I can use any new code and/or GWP offer for the next quarter. Been working out fine for every box since Fall 2015. Each season someone posts about doing this. Never had any issues with CS. I just send an email to cancel well before the next billing date.

Nicole

Totally agree with you all. I have been burned too many times and just sub to the boxes I want and wait for the discounts now.

Isla

I feel like I should let fellow MSA readers know about my experience with BOS. I bought the 2016 winter box with the BTBF deal. Didn’t receive my box until February and received the wrong color beanie as well. Contacted CS and they promised they’d ship the correct beanie “soon”, but never did. Not a massive deal to me as everything in the box arrived in perfect condition – I was just happy to get the box finally. Fast forward a year, bit the bullet again with last year’s deal. Didn’t receive my box until APRIL and the OSEA oil had leaked everywhere, all over the stuff. The planner was totally drenched and the faux fur on the stole was greasy and disgusting. To top it off, the eyeliner was missing the box and looked like it had been used. Again, I contacted CS MULTIPLE TIMES – never even received a reply.

Long story short: I got burned twice, no way is it happening again. I’m appalled at this box.

I’d be all over this except for the watch. It’s lovely, but I wear an Apple Watch and that’s not going to change for some subscription. Without the second hero item, the value goes down a lot. Oh, and before someone says to “give it as a gift” – I can’t think of anyone that would wear it. In my world, unless you’re wearing a fitness watch, you use your phone to see what the time is. I have three beautiful watches that belonged to my stepmom that no one in the family wanted, for this reason.

Reply ButtonReply

Amanda

My thoughts completely. My watches collect dust until I’m sorting through things and discover the battery is dead. And the only person I’ve known in the last 10 years to wear a watch other than my dad was a guy who had a Rolex.

I feel this way when I see planners too. My life is too hectic to remember a planner when I can track everything infinitely better on my phone. (Journals have their uses though!)

Liz, I wrote a note on here that I dont see anymore. Can you help us with the BOS? i ordered this deal – but they have now switched my items when I go online to see where my winter box + beauty bundle might be. It’s showing the select (with nobeauty bundle – but still showing the $25 off)

Can you help us?

Liz, people who ordered this on 11/23 after seeing your post are now seeing the order switched. I have the total of $79.68 – but it’s showing different items now. No Sunday Riley. No Ameka. No beauty bundle.

I agree. The deal is great. The winter box looks amazing. I am excited I am getting it, but only because I had so much trouble cancelling my annual subscription. I would love to see the company work on improving the cancellation policy and customer service. If it weren’t for those two factors I would have probably started a second subscription to use as a gift, but just can’t risk it.

Jen

The worst part is that they do it on purpose. It’s really not difficult for them to add a cancel button. I’ve seen much smaller boxes have them included. Yep, Box of Style is purposefully making it nearly impossible for everyone to cancel so that they get stuck getting the box. They should be more confident of their products.
