It’s finally in the shop, but you can only choose the first three 3 items, even if you are an annual member.

My box shipped today! I had selected the candle, Grown Alchemist bundle and the Tease Tea set. For the other two choices, I got the notebook and body cream, which I am both thrilled about as I am always going through notebooks and lotions/body butters! For my other three items, it just says “Mystery Item.” It indicates one is a Mystery Bundle of at least three items, then the other two just have values listed – $14 and $17.99. What is everyone else seeing/getting?

Reply ButtonReply

Sherri

Mine has now shipped as well. The “box reveal” shows my 3 choice items plus the Intelligent Nutrients Refining Micro Polish, the VictoriaLand Beauty® Skin-Loving Treatment For Eyes & Lips, and 3 “Mystery” items (which are listed as: 1x$25.00, 1x$17.99, and 1x$14.00). If I click on the $17.99 and the $14.00 ones, I am taken to a “page not found” page. The $25.00 leads me to a $29 Mystery Bundle page but I bet that is in error. I’m not really sure why they aren’t revealing the 3 items, other than I suspect it’s part of some sort of technical glitch.

I looked up the retail value of each item in each category because I had the same results. I had my three selections, the notebook, and the $55 Victorialand eye and lip cream. The other items were listed as mystery with retail values of $25, $14, and $17.99. I believe they are as follows-

$25 Item is the Rose Spray
$17.99 item is the hero acne patches
$14 item is the Lavido hand cream

Hope this helps!

Cary san

I got the tri scarf cuz hubby keeps taking mine so now we will match
Then picked GA cuz need a hand cream
Last pick foot exfoliator.. (high hopes)
Everything was available. To add on first choice was $17 second choice was $15? Last choice was $7.. almost added on tarte mascara for $7 but didnt cuz I have mascara but still thinking maybe I should of. Also when done with selections they have add ons. Got korres and spongelle for $10 as well.

Bev

I’m confused. I don’t see where the winter editors box is up to make selections. Can someone help me understand? Am I just an idiot? Lol

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa

You are not an idiot. It all comes down to this: you must be a new subscriber to be able to customize the Editor’s box at this time. Otherwise, you can wait until *after* the Edit sale is over, and then you can purchase a box and customize it if you are a subscriber.

Their video did **Not** make that clear.

Some people are starting new accounts with new email addresses so that they can get the box and customize it. One person suggested referring yourself from your current account and starting a new account that way. The new account gets $10 off the price of the box plus gets to customize the first 3 items, so it is $39.99, not the $29.99 advertised above, but your current account gets a $15 credit once your new account is open, so it all comes to a $25 savings, if you want to look at it that way.

Dawn

By the way… as of tonight, everything for the first three item choices was still available.

Started a new account… my dog now has an email account. Selected the Kate S. Goat Milk moisturizer. I received it in my Winter box since they ran out of the Unhide… It has no fragrance and is nice for bedtime. The Dragons Blood face thing and the foot peel were my other 2 picks. Holding my breath on the rest. Bought a Spongelle and Korres body butter for $10 more. I have a serious spending problem.

I just spent way too much time on chat with FFF today (after having spoken with them on the phone two weeks ago) trying to ensure that my account would be closed and no longer billed.
What a NIGHTMARE! They never came through on what they had told me in mid-December, and I was just charged for a box that is apparently in transit. Tried to fix this via “chat”, but the rep was unable.

. I gave in, ordered the box, they took my billing info but not my shipping info and when will I be able to customize it? When I log in, it just logs me right out and says “order the box” (even though I have email confirmation)

Well FabFitFun has done it again! Actual conversation with “customer service” about being able to customize the edit box –

ME: I want to customize the edit box as an annual member. How do I do that?

FFF: I appreciate you sending this photo. Please know that the Editor’s box on our Edit sale is not customizable. You would only be able to customize if you sign up as a new member as your first box would be the Editor’s box. It is noted on the advertisement that new seasonal subscribers can select three. All current subscribers(once it opens in the shop) and new Annual members can make a selection in each of the five categories. Please know that the shop section is different from our Edit sale section.

ME: So it’s a play on words?

FFF: I do apologize if you feel this way. Unfortunately, boxes are never customizable within add-on or edits. Because of this, we offer the box at a discounted price of $39.99!
I understand that you really wanted to customize your Editor’s box on the Edit sale, Jennifer. However, there is no way for us to do that as all boxes on our Edit sale is really not customizable. That is also the reason why we offer the boxes on a discounted rate.

ME: Ok then why does your ad say it is then?

FFF: It is stated on the add that its only applicable for new members.

ME: “ALL CURRENT SUBSCRIBERS”

FFF: There is an open and close parenthesis that stated that it would only be applicable for current subscriber once it it got offered on the shop section.

ME:And when will that be?

FFF: We do not have a specific timeframe as to when it would be offered as it would depend on our inventory of the boxes after the All-access Edit has closed.

ME: So let me get this straight – you advertise that all current members can edit the box, then say but not during the actual edit sale period of the box, then say they can edit the box when it goes into the shop section but have no idea if or when it even will go in the shop section? That is your statement, correct?

FFF: It is not my statement. The statement in the advertisement is a FabFitFun statement. I’m sorry if you find this confusing. We’ll let the appropriate team know about this feedback. Additionally, please know that the boxes on our Edit sale are only extra boxes while the boxes on the subscription are the general boxes.

ME: Well then why advertise them so heavily and promote this like e of advertising?

FFF: The promotion for the Editors box is only sent through invitational email for new members. I’m really sorry if you find this confusing. We only send out emails for new members who would be signing up for the subscription. Just to confirm that the boxes on our Edit sale are only extra boxes that we offer on a discounted rate.

ME: Lmao – not it’s not! Its advertised all over social media!

FFF: Please know that there’s really nothing we can do to customize your Editors box that has been purchased on the Edit sale. The box offered on our Edit sale are all extra box. The items included are all surprised. I apologize for the trouble.

ME: So let me ask – as a current member i signed up for a new account as a seasonal member I can pick 3 things but if I pay for a brand new annual membership I can pick 5 things – but the box is not editable and as never been editable because it’s a left over box – but if I wait for the extra left over boxes to make an appearance in the mysterious shop section at some point in time (or not) then I can edit them as an already current member?

ME: As you have created a new seasonal account you would be able to select up to 3 items to be included in the Editor’s box. If you upgrade to Annual membership, you get to select up to 5 items. However, on your current subscription, as you are already an existing Annual member, once you have added an Editors box on our Edit sale, you would be able to get the extra Editor’s box. It is not a leftover box. We only say that it’s an extra box as the system has added the whole box. I’m really sorry if you find this confusing. We’ll be sure to let the appropriate team know about this feedback.

Essentially – it’s a scam for current members when they do these “Edit Sale” customization advertising flurries.

Please send this to SNL – this is fantastic material for a sketch they could perform. I think it would have every person who watches the show cracking up because this is so true. I feel like this should also be posted on social media because it really is a very backwards and super sketchy in my opinion. I get that the goal is to get new members with the boxes, that you’re selling at least three customizations for $30 for your first box, or a leftover box for $40 to your current subscribers. This doesn’t make any sense. Why not just give your current subscribers the same deal, they should be able to buy the box at the reduced price of $30 and be able to customize at least three options. That seems only fair plus you’re selling more boxes. There’s nothing to lose in that situation.

It’s been this way since the Editors Box became customizable. They’re always available in the shop about two weeks after the edit sale for current select members to purchase and customize.

I love how they are sorry “if you find this confusing,” like it’s your fault. We are intelligent people, and this is confusing as heck! I sent myself a referral from my current account to another email that I have and was thinking about signing up that way so that I could customize a box (or at least 3 items from the box), but after all this I think maybe this company is just a bit shady and I should not support them anymore than I already do.

I’ve not really kept up with FabFitFun although I know it is very popular. Is it always this confusing at Edit selection time?

Reply ButtonReply

Michele P.

I’m a select member. And I didn’t purchase an Editor’s Box during the select members only days. Because I was told in chat that we could not customize anything in the editor’s box this time! I was told that again today in chat. Sooooo, why does the article here show that select members get to customize each choice? Am I confused?

Sherri

I believe it means that if you are a new member and sign up for FFF, if you sign up for an annual membership, you’ll get to select more items in your first (Winter Editor’s) box than if you just sign up as a seasonal subscriber.

Reply ButtonReply

Sherri

Oops, I should add that per what Liz said in response to another comment on this thread, you get to customize after you sign up. So at the time you get to customize, the system will know if your new membership is annual/select or seasonal.

Dang, I have never done ANY subscription program, and just started looking and am completely overwhelmed. Between the different types: beauty, clothing, home goods, pets…oy! FabFitFun intrigued me as as I’d like a variety of categories, but I think I should maybe do a little more research. I have sensitive aging skin, so I can’t use everything on my skin, plus I prefer clean products so that sort of limits me there. I love textiles, simple accessories, but don’t wish to accumulate tchotchkes. After all that blabber, maybe I’m not a good candidate, hah! Any suggestions for a picky newbie like myself (where maybe customization or a survey is possible) are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

I am confused how do I get the editors box all the links I press on do not take me only to the main site which does not offer it editors box so how do I do this?

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa

When I use this link, I do not get anything that says “get the box.” I have tried multiple times. Finally I did a search for “box.” Several options came up, including this:
“FabFitFun Winter 2019 2nd Edition
39.99
MEMBER SPECIAL:We know you loved the Winter 2019 box so much that we created a second edition with new favorites for $39.99! But hurry before it sells out again!”
Does anyone have any idea what this would include?

I also got this option: “FabFitFun Winter 2019 Editor’s Box
39.99
MEMBER SPECIAL: Additional Winter 2019 Editor’s Boxes are available for FabFitFun members for $39.99. Get additional boxes for yourself or give them to a friend!”
Is this the box that this MSA post is referring to? And we have no way to customize if we aren’t “select” members? So I would spend $39.99 on a total crap shoot?
I have *never* seen such a confusing sub box in my life!

So I went for it! After I made my choices it asked if I wanted to shop the edit sale but when I tried it wouldn’t let me because I’m not a select member. It did seem to indicate however that select members are offered early access to this sale which makes me think regular members must get access to the sale later. Can someone tell me if this is indeed the case? Thanks!

I also wanted to say I thought it was cool that I had the option to purchase items from the box in addition to my choice. And I am not referring to the add-on choices at the end. For instance, I wanted two of the choices in one of the categories and after I made my selection I was given the opportunity to buy another choice. I loved that. Is that always the way it works?

Reply ButtonReply

Becky

Yes, the edit sale opens for seasonal members on the 3rd at 9am PST and goes ’til the 12th, I believe.
And yep they offer additional selections in certain categories for an extra charge. Seasonals get 3 choice categories and annuals get 5.
HTH!

Should I pull the trigger? With sales tax in my state, it’s $32.08 for eight items. Four dollar per item. I get to pick three of them (all skincare for me!) I can gift what I don’t like (a gift that looks nice for just $4, good deal). I’ll then cancel the sub once I receive the box.

Just hoping not to get the Skinvolve Body Boost Gel. I received that in the Fall box and just trashed it recently. The peppermint smell is overwhelming and unnecessary, and boy do your thighs feel cold for hours, especially when you’re sitting down you know where.

I’ll read the comments here and revisit the decision-making tomorrow.

Decided against it. I don’t need any of these items, and the $32 will be better spent elsewhere (it’s a lean month for me, and I want to get my husband a nice gift for his birthday in a couple of weeks).

That was one of the worst sub products ever, I trashed it as soon as I tried one little dab. I wasn’t even going to donate that travesty. What a waste of resources and our money.

Next time look to trade items like the SkinVolve. If I could select the SkinVolve in this box I’d be more likely to get the Edit box. I’ve gone through three bottles already. It’s a bit smelly but it actually eases the pain in my legs caused by vericose veins. That’s not the products intended purpose but it works so well before workouts or long days of standing for me.
