CAUSEBOX Flash Sale! 30% Off Your First Box!

I don’t know if someone posted this but an update on shipping. My customization window finally closed. Yay! I purchased around 9/21

“Orders placed between September 11, 2019 and October 14th will ship out by Monday, October 21, 2019. Orders placed on or after October 15 will ship out within two weeks of purchase (usually sooner).”

A social venture, even one with a b corp certification, is still a business built on a capitalist framework that has pre-exisiting norms and best practices about how transparently things are marketed, what things cost, and when things ship (namely before there is a price drop and a refusal to adjust for customers who have yet to receive their item).

There are customer protection laws for a reason. The fact that an organization has vaguely defined charitable aims does not mean it can display subpar functionality for weeks or months on end and escape criticism.

Even FFF was more mature and communicative when shipment was delayed than Causebox. A business cannot grow without responding maturely to feedback both positive and negative. Causebox customers are not just in California, a state where there is more of a compliment sandwich and flexible time culture. The two co-founders are alumni of Claremont McKenna and UCLA. Their GUST profile claims Causebox is a 5 year old C-Corp with 4 employees, a 1 mil revenue, 4000 paying customers and 93% retention.

That is a profile that sets some reasonable expections for organizational competence. People are right to be vocal about their displeasure if their experience with the company is bad so far.

Meh. Still not worth resubscribing.

Well Well Well, I love their curation of the box, but their customer service is horrible. They terminate my annual subscription before asking my opinion. Totally bummed!

Did I miss the Fall Causebox review?? Where is it??

Ah, they got me with the 30% off! I really want the weekender bag in any color. I also really want the letterpress board over the travel wallet so I’m taking a risk on that but overall it’ll be worth it with the coupon. And I’m really excited for the MALIN+GOETZ oil. The other items may go up for swap depending on what I think once I actually get them in my hands.

FYI, you CAN order this if you already are already an annual member, and they told me that if I email them, they will allow me to customize!

I just ordered yesterday and used regular coupon (20% off), so sad 🙁

But, why not get a box you love, knowing you might have to wait a bit for the first box? I do not understand that, their customer service is awesome, and their products are high quality, AND they stand behind them and replace them if there are issues. They stand behind great causes too.

I really am confused when people complain about shipping times, but the box and company is lovely and great to work with. Why not just be more patient? After your first box, they send them extremely timely and keep you posted if you email. You actually get responses. I don’t know, I think people are being extremely too critical, and expecting 100% perfection when that is not how life goes.

Be happy if you get a great box, great items, and at a great price.

Not happy with CAUSEBOX! I haven’t got a shipping notice yet like a lot of people and they’re wanting new customers!! WTH!!

I haven’t yet received my box, but I wish I could have got this offer.

Oh no!!! This is just like FFF people are not receiving their boxes but they put a promotion out to drum up more business. Please give me my items! LOL
