Hopefully this ships soon, my Ipsy plus was kind of awful this month, and now I need this to ship to make up for it!

Me too! Excited!

My confirmation email says “By May 8th 2019, You will receive a tracking email with your tracking number when your box is ready to ship.” Then goes on to say.. Within 7 days of tracking, “You will receive your very own BoxyLimited: skincare box!”

I’ve purchased every single box for 4 years. I skipped this box. I feel like they are only trying to cater toward certain customers, by allowing early access for annual subscribers. Subscribers that have been with them for years have never received any special perks, but if you spend more money up front, you suddenly get special perks. I’m not okay with that. A brand new subscriber essentially could get first choice over an original subscriber, which is wrong, IMO. Boxy told me to reach out to them on FB, so I did. They sent a generic message back stating that exciting things are coming. They didn’t address any of my concerns. It’s like they don’t seem to care at all.

I completely agree. I’ve been with them over four years as well and have been incredibly frustrated (actually angry might be a better word) with them ever since they launched the Luxe box. Like you said, they care WAY more about new customers so lots of us folks who got them where they are today got cheated out of a box while many brand new people got one. It’s happened to me twice now. I was about to unsubscribe over a few issues I was having with them so I removed the Luxe portion of my subscription and planned to quit altogether as soon as I spent my charms. Much to my surprise, after always getting those impersonal, generic responses you mentioned that never actually clarified anything I sent a last lengthy, angry email and requested it be forwarded to a supervisor. I’m not sure that happened but someone did actually take the time to respond directly to my specific complaints. My faith was slightly restored so I re-added Luxe (I’d only gotten the December one before thanks to the 1st box fiasco). So when March charges went through I was shocked to see I had only been charged for the regular box. I reached out to customer service and was accused of not having the funds which was a lie and I had proof they’d never attempted to charge my card. Several days later I got a mass email sent to those of us unlucky few who were apparently on the bottom of the waitlist. I didn’t think there was a waitlist for their THIRD box, plus all over social media people were saying they’d canceled their Luxe boxes after seeing spoilers. I still don’t understand how they “ran out.” Especially after I was told by several sources that people that had just joined Boxycharm at the end of February were able to add Luxe for March with no wait. Once again I was fuming so I finally found something to buy in the charm shop with the last of my points so I could cancel since clearly they do not value long time customers at all.
It’s been almost 2 months since I placed my charms order and still nothing. I got a response to my email saying they were forwarding the issue to the department that handles this situation. Really? Since when has their customer service been that organized? Then last week I got another email saying they were still researching why I didn’t get my order (considering there was never a shipping confirmation number could it be it was never mailed? 🙄) but were immediately sending a replacement and would send the tracking number. That was over a week ago. Still no email, no package, no charms refunded to my account.
I’ve never had such horrible customer service in my life. Maybe I just have bad luck or something. If they treat too many others like this they will lose them to other subs like Ipsy Plus. Now they know how to run a subscription box business!

I honestly feel the same way. I’m really considering dropping them after the June Luxe box and switching to Ipsy’s similar program. I remember all of those promises that Joe made us, before the company grew overnight. 1. We would never get repeat items (they do this regularly now) 2. If they send out anything that isn’t full size, it will be a 6 item box (remember the box with 3 full size items recently?) 3. If anything arrives broken, it will be replaced. (Not only do they not replace items, they send useless charms. I have received many items that look used and have fingerprints on the actual product in recent months). 4. Luxe won’t change anything. (Biggest lie of all. This changed EVERYTHING.)

question; if I join boxycharm, do I have to join boxyluxe too, or can I just get the boxycharm box every month?

You can choose to only get the regular monthly sub, without getting the Luxe boxes.

Wendy A Phillips
You can just get regular boxy every month. You sign up for Luxe from your profile page, but it’s not required.

I tried to order from 1:00 on and every time I try to add it to my cart it tells me I have exceeded my limit but there is nothing in my cart to exceed. Email to help desk. Hopefully a fix before sold out 🙁

It did that to me also and then I realized I was not signed into my account. You have to be an active subscriber to order, so because I was not logged in it gave me that message. Hope this helps or that they were able to help!

Can you just purchase the skin are box, or do you also have to purchase a normal boxy box as well?
Reply
Danielle
You have to be an active subscriber, so if you aren’t then you would have to buy both.

I was able to pre-order. I am not sure if I’ll get it but if not I will be looking for swaps.

It’s “preorder” for everyone, I believe. Because they don’t ship immediately.

Janet
I told myself I wasn’t going to buy it…and then I bought it. 🤦🏻♀️
Reply
Dani
Don’t feel bad. I did too. I thought I was strong enough but I couldn’t help myself. I justified it because there were 3 very highly rated products I REALLY wanted ever since they came out that would’ve cost me over $100 to buy separately or even with the Sephora VIB sale. I felt guilty but then the jade roller I already had started squeaking really badly so that added a 4th item. The only thing I absolutely know I won’t use is the watermelon mask. I got it in another sub and tried it last week. It smelled HORRIBLE. Much like vinegar…only slightly worse.
I’m glad I was able to order a LE product from them with no problems for the very first time. Even if it was only because hardly anyone else wanted it. 😄

I picked one up at 12:01. For some reason I decided to check at noon, and it was open. The site hadn’t crashed, it was available, and it didn’t take forever for my order to go through. I was actually pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get it. And I’m happy with the products in this box, I will be using most of them. I’m hoping for the Caudalie because I don’t use makeup wipes often, but that’s what I’ll probably get lol. 😆

I dropped BC after Feb. Just received an email right now telling me to resub and purchase the skincare box now!
After much overhyping of the skincare box, and further delaying the skincare box (I truly believe the delay was to hold onto subs 1 month longer :-P) BC has plenty of skincare boxes for sale. Its an ok-good box, not great and price isnt great either. Easy pass for me. Definitely not worth the monthly charge + skincare box charge.
Im still waiting for BC to make some big moves or big brand changes in hopes it will convince me to resub…

I ordered one this morning, about 30 minutes after it went live and shockingly had no problems. I had been checking on the hour every couple of hours since midnight. I checked at 9 and still nothing, so they released it a little after 9am pst. In honestly, I would have been so annoyed if i wouldn’t have been able to get one, but i seriously don’t need anything in this box, i shouldve passed on it. Didn’t want the fomo I had with last luxe and last two beauty reports.

MSA has a swap site. I’m not on it, but I remember there was a link to the swap site toward the top of the homepage. I don’t see it right now, but I’m wondering if that’s because I’m on my tablet and not laptop or desktop.

I bought it right when they opened it up to everyone. I actually like everything in this box, even the facial roller, and now I have one for a fraction of the cost. I think it’s pretty well curated, and I’m glad only 1 item is a variant, plus it’s only $10/$15 so if you want the other item, it won’t break the bank to buy it yourself 🙂
I’ll tell my husband it’s my birthday/our 1st anniversary/Mother’s Day gift from him LOL. This is why I don’t ask for presents anymore. I know about all the new deals and pounce!
