Boxy Pop up is open (as of 8am EST, 11/26). I just ordered two items without the “Circle of Death”. I think the only way this has happened is because they didn’t “announce” it. One of the gals I subscribe to on YouTube (Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget) point-blank asked them, and they said it was happening this morning.

They don’t have nearly as much as the first (and second) botched launch, but there are a few things of interest, depending on what you’re looking for.

So, I’ve been reading the comments. I’m just a regular basic box Boxy subscriber. If I understand right, I wouldn’t be able to shop the sale until the people with the more expensive subscriptions were done.

If that’s the case, with all the talk of things selling out in minutes, what would be the point? It would all be sold out. Especially the items that are actually good deals. My subscription is up in Dec. and I’m overloaded with make-up and skincare, but I thought the pop-up would make it worth keeping. If I’m understanding how it works correctly, I’m canceling.

Very few people were able to place an order before it crashed again. I believe it’s postponed until further notice.

Thanks for letting us know! Just a heads up for those who placed multiple orders. I received a popup as I was checking out. Stating that it could take up to 20 days to ship because they are checking everyone’s address since it’s for first time buyers only. They may cancel multiple orders seeing that it’s a one per address offer.

That is wise. Shop for other great deals! I did the same. Got a great discount at Biotherm on products I’ve been waiting to try for a long time. Waiting on my Tarte custom box, and got my Ofra mystery box which was terrific. Going to be a nice Christmas (and my birthday last weekend!).

How did you get that deal?

Reply ButtonReply

Christa H.

went to the site, selected the 15ml “No SPF” Travel Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and went to check out. then you have to select 3 of the pictures of the 3 free items you want. When you go to checkout, it will give a 35.00 credit and free shipping. total is around 10.29
**make sure to select the one without the SPF or it will be 45.00**

Christa H.

I went to Elemis.com and ordered a $45.00 15ml “No SPF” Travel Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for $10.00. It also let me add 3 other sample items, so a total of 4 items…free shipping for $10.29. It gives you a 35.00 credit when you go to check out. I went in and placed another order as well. Great great savings. Definitely made my day much better after the whole Boxy poop up mess. I just checked and it is still the $10 deal 🙂

Christa H.

And it lets you choose additional 3 free sample/travel sizes. free shipping. Definitely made up for the Boxy poop up lol

Sadly it doesn’t offer me any samples no matter what I do. It sounds like an awesome deal for those that got it though 😀

I just spent my $$$ elsewhere that I had saved for Boxy pop up. I went to Elemis.com and ordered a $45.00 15ml “No SPF” Travel Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for $10.00. It also let me add 3 other sample items, so a total of 4 items…free shipping for $10.29. It gives you a 35.00 credit when you go to check out. I went in and placed another order as well.

I’ve been with Boxy for 4.5+ years. I’ve also had Luxe since the first box. This is happening because they care more about money, than they do about their customers.

They will NEVER do anything that benefits their oldest customers. It has been mentioned many times. Money is money to them, regardless who it comes from. They screwed over all Luxe and premium members, by allowing all of the waitlist to have early access. Anyone can easily be on the waitlist and gain early access. All they have to do is click “join luxe/premium”, buy their popup items and then remove their name from the waitlist. It’s common sense! Once again, Boxy doesn’t seem to care!

Another huge topic: why are people allowed to buy 5 or 10 of the same product? Everyone knows that the quantities are limited. People that hop on the waitlist today could go and purchase 10 Mac lipsticks ($3.50 each) in 5 different colors, then sell them for $15 each in a Boxy group. If limits were placed on items, everyone would have a fair chance at getting the items that they want, before they sell out.

Boxy disgusts me sometimes. I also got to pick an extra item for November. I had the choice of DOC or Becca. I chose DOC and the email that they sent me stated that the color would be based on my beauty quiz. It stated that twice. My beauty prefence is pink. I received bright red. Their CS reps won’t even honor the email that they sent me. 🙄

You echoed my sentiments exactly. I literally told my husband those exact points yesterday. I’m really disappointed in this latest debacle.. plus still no updates, it’s just rude. It’s like they don’t care at all because they are such a good deal, if we get fed up and quit someone else will sign up and fill our spot. Still I’m ending my subscription out of principle. I can always go on resale sights and buy the boxy items I really want, after I use up all the products I’ve accumulated. Sad because I really liked boxy every box had something I was excited about. I just can’t support a company that does business in such an unprofessional manner.

During the sale they had hackers attacking the site trying to steal peoples info. I screen shotted emails I received and sent to boxy..seems others got it too.

Jamey

Dont know when it will open. The very “first ” day of the sale and I got a few items in my cart, but when It just kept spinning….well, I got an email the next day that said “you left somethings behind in your cart, check out now” (of course boxy had cleared everyones cart) in my email it had a huge red box saying it was malware and trying to steal info and card info. It the header was different, but the email font and everything looked legit. I screen shot it and sent it to boxy security. I also seen 5 other people posting on Facebook asking boxy if their info and credit card /payment info got hacked as well. So I dont know if this is why they shut the sale down or what…but this whole thing is a mess and not fair to subscription holders that have been loyal, and they let waitlist people jump on.

When tribe beauty started up as small as they were, the OWNER set up a system where people got emailed a link to follow and use so the site didn’t get shut down and everything they did was orderly….so if they can do it, boxycharm most definitely can. They just dont care too, which is sad.

I was happily shopping (albeit slowly) when the whole thing crashed. I won’t be trying again. I have been sleep deprived all day because I got up early for a shot. I should have just kept sleeping. It’s more important than some cheap deals.

It’s been postponed again. I dont think it’s coming back up today. Same thing happened to me this morning @6am! Can’t say I’m surprised. They royally suck at special sales. Always have.

I saw a few items in the charm room just now. I bought Ciate London Glitter Storm Lipstick – Flash. They also have:
Dr. Brandt – No More Baggage
Manna Kadar – Bloom Mascara

Grande Cosmetics GrandeLIPS Plumping Liquid Lipstick (3 color choices)
Lilly Lashes – Lash Glue

The reason I shop at Target VS Walmart and Publix VS Winn-Dixie even though Wal-Mart and Win-Dixie are cheaper, guess who has better customer service and more checkout folks?
My time is worth paying extra. So with that being said I would much rather pay more for the products I want somewhere else than waste time messing with this Chaos. The time that I spent messing with this I could have been doing something productive. Like Yoga, spending time talking on phone to my Grandchildren etc…etc… Is stuff that we probably don’t need worth all this hassle?

Super bummed that they have canceled the sale after all that wasted time and energy. I was really hopeful to get some great items for our donation tree for our local women’s shelter at reasonable prices. Now there is no chance they can deliver for the holidays.

It is fascinating to see this company continue to grow, despite business practices that would normally put a company out of business. I feel frustrated with myself for continuing on this shady Boxy roller-coaster. If Ulta was smart, they would swoop-in and offer a beauty subscription service that actually has customer service. They already have the brand connections, and they have the best rewards program in the industry. I have confidence they could do it right.

I love that idea and have thought if it myself. Maybe if enough if us contact them they will do a survey and gather interest in a make up, beauty and or skin care sub box. Whose IN to send them the suggestion? I would..

Cheap tricks, Boxy! There was supposed to ba an ANNOUNCEMENT about the sale at 9 am est. I just happened to log on to their site and it said that Pop Up was open! This was supposed to be an announcement. I got in and was able to purchase four items. The only sold out items I saw were two Juice Beauty products, a hair product and I can’t remember the 4th item. Some items had great prices; some were just ok. It was taking a long time to load a page so I checked out with my four items and then went back to where I stopped on the site. It finally got through it all and I didn’t try to buy anything else. I can’t be sure but I feel like there was more hair care and skincare than makeup. There were also miscellaneous items like jewelry, bath sponges, socks, sunglasses, purses/bags, etc. If my order is dumped, I will not go back. It’s a great sale but just nothing that was a must have. I have way too much already. I bought the Becca pink powder for $10, It Mascara for $6, a Paula’s Choice toner for $6 and a Konjac sponge for $3. Shipping was free for $25 and over. I did get an email confirmation. Good luck to everyone…..I’m never doing this again. I’m exhausted!

I’m even more angry now to see that I set my alarm to wake up two days early for NOTHING. Then today I’m up before 7am and dont even bother to log in cause it wasnt suppose to start til 9am. This has been an enormous waste of my energy and frustrated me needlessly. SO many EPIC FAILS on their part. Ipsy Ultimate Fails. Boxy premium is a fail for all the hype and barely anyone was able to even get it. Whats up with all this unnecessary HYPE??? STOP taking peoples time with stuff you can’t get right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sorry but I’m shocked at the sheer level of disappointment after all their claims of greatness and don’t miss out propaganda. Too draining and exhausting for me. It was way worse than Black Friday shopping all three times!

I’m not saying this to be mean at all because I really do get the frustration, so please don’t take it that way, but it’s really the consumers that create the hype over these boxes. I feel like Boxy has a worse track record for this stuff than Ipsy, but they both have a history of screwing up on a monthly basis. They both use manipulative advertising, both send generic responses and call it customer service, both fail to provide what is promised and both ignore unhappy customer’s. Yet we all scramble to purchase their next latest and greatest. 💁 Why would they change a thing when we all tell them we are on board with their practices by giving them our money? Further, why are we all so angry and inconvenienced when we already know to expect disappointment? I personally don’t appreciate the business practices of either of these companies and have moved on from them because of it. I’ll put my money into a sub box that delivers what’s promised with some ethics or buy a product from a reputable brand. Since finding out both Ipsy and Boxy have sent brand products made specifically for them, but with a cheaper formula/ingredients, it just doesn’t seem so worth it anymore. It’s pretty deceptive when you’re receiving a certain brand in your box and the formula isn’t the same as what you would buy in the store.

Was at the end of checkout, had clicked to pay and it just froze. Only thing I saw limited quantity was one of the lifestyle items, a light up word that was purple. I could not even make out what it said.

Pop up was going on @ 7:05a MST this morning and sadly crashed again… I managed to get 5 items in my cart, but I’m sure they will remove them and start all over again. I wonder how much they get paid for us even visiting the site or refreshing over and over again?? Anyone in IT? Is that possible?

LaylaB

Haha. I had that thought too. Like do they get something from IG stories?! I never get why they use stories to give us info, and they are just annoying to watch. The owner reminds me of a salesman, “oh boxy pop up is down because we are such a big company” or “pop up will be shut down while we fix things to give our users the best experience” it’s always like everything is a favor they are doing for us. We are paying customers!

Okay, what happened? I forgot to “check in” at 9:00, because I have a career and a life, and I checked their site and it said it’s just now postponed… did it open briefly and crash again? My theory is that they got everyone on the waitlist for Boxylux and now are going to push the popup into December so they get lots of people to pay for the box.

Julie

I was thinking the same thing. It wont actually help since they cant control the traffic. I’m not luxe but if this was my site I would reward the people that have had boxy the longest and send out links in batches to people and not reward those that sign up for the waitlist to get in the popup early and then cancel which is what is going to happen. I’ve wasted at least 2 hours now when it opened both times but I really want that spongelle mani-pedi! Grrrr both times I got to cart and it would stall out.

I wish they would grace us with an update; like are they honoring the lucky few who were able to get orders in, or are they going to give everyone a fair shot? I mean if you got it honestly, I don’t care, but all the buzz about people finding back channels into the sale after closing it. I dunno, I guess I just would like to know what they are thinking

They didn’t even update on Instagram, only facebook, which I never look at. I just so happened to go to their site when I got up (which opening at 6 am Pacific time is not cool, especially when they said they’d update us at that time, not that it’d open at that time) I mean it got.postponed so it.doesnt matter, but seriously. They were clesrlymtrying to limit the flow of people by hiding that it was open and opening it so early for people not on the east coast.
