thanks. How about the winter one. Have you seen that for sale?

This is the biggest scam ever! After my first year of “premium” subscription I contacted them and told them that I didn’t receive anything “premium”. They informed me that I would only get one per year. Oh I received a sunscreen voucher…was that my “premium”?
Also my winter box included items made in China with no mention of who was being helped. Usually they mention the cause that they’re supporting. I contacted them and received absolutely no response.
This is absolute fraud on the Ellen show. Law enforcement should investigate.

Been fighting with them for several months now as my Fall box was delayed (took 3 months of e-mailing to get them to finally send it out.) I also asked them about the “suprise and delight” item for Premium subscribers as I never got anything extra in any of my boxes and was advised it would be in the one they were send.

Well guess what, nothing extra. I e-mailed them and they asked for photos so I sent them and they responded, yep, that’s everything. And so I was like where was my extra thing and their response was:

“Premium subscribers receive the same boxes with the same items as quarterly and annual subscribers, but additionally the receive one extra gift a year. This year’s premium gift was an exclusive sun screen voucher in the Summer 2020 box. Fall and Winter 2020 did not include an additional gift for Premium Members.”

Well I never got the sunscreen voucher but seriously — an extra $20 per box for that?!?!?!!? Made no mention about anyone winning anything so seems like the Premium is a total scam. I’ve already cancelled my subscription, but sharing with everyone else.

If you never received the sunscreen voucher, I would keep emailing them until they send you the voucher or something comparable. They say in their description that premium subscribers will receive one additional item. If they do not honor that you should turn them in to the AG, because I agree it is a scam.

The customer service is appauling. I paid for my winter box December 1st and it still has not been shipped! I have tried emailing, phoning and all I ever get is a standart email response. So frustrating, I plan on cancelling my Spring box as I do not want to pay for another one when I am still waiting for another one.

I feel like the only way to make it stop is to get a new debit card. It’s crazy because I will have to change all my other accounts for bills and such. It is insane!

That is such BS to contact their customer service. It took me 5 months to get any action from them! When you send an email it takes WEEKS for them to reply. Try to cancel online and it says there is no account even if you get daily emails about your account! They have an F rating at the Better Business Bureau. They keep trying to charge your card no matter how many times you tell them to cancel. Now they are creating new accounts UNSOLICITED. I got 2 emails today saying “an account has been created for you, please click the link if you want to decline”. WHY would I click a link that says “activate” if I don’t want it. IT IS A SCAM!!!

Erin

I have tried to cancel my Be Kind Box more times than I can count. It has said for the past 2 boxes that my subscription is cancelled. Yet, I still have gotten charged for both. I no longer live at the address on my old account… so, I am not even receiving the boxes. I can not log into my account because it no longer exists. I am frustrated beyond belief. I have emailed over and over again with no response or change to the issue. This is ridiculous! I want my card information, email, and address removed and no longer want to receive the box.

Cancel your card. I went through this. It’s the only thing that worked. They said it was canceled repeatedly. I kept getting charged. I canceled my card and they tried to charge the old one still 2 more times. Trust me its worth the hassle of canceling your card.

Reply ButtonReply

Erin

I can not because it says I no longer have an account with Be Kind Box. But, I still continue to get emails sent to me and continue to get charged for boxes.

Erin

Unfortunately I can not cancel my card because when I stopped my subscription it deleted my account. So now anytime I try to log in it says my account doesn’t exist, even though I still receive emails from them that I have been charged. I have been trying to get this taken care of for months and they never respond to the emails. I wish they had a phone number that actually worked.

Dianne Pors

OMG I am not sure if I am happy that all of you are having the same experience I am, or just more angry. I have had all of the above things, double billing, no delivery, months with a ticket open. The root of the problem is that they WILL NOT TALK TO YOU. So much could be resolved in a simple phone call. But they are too good to even offer that service. Now I am trying to cancel two subscriptions I have, one for myself and one I pay for my daughter in law, and that is a whole new nightmare.
I think I am going to put a phony credit card just so they stop billing me. There is no way to cancel that I see.

Do not waste your time. Initially subscribed 10/23/19 with a next renewal date on my invoice of 10/23/20. I was randomly charged in April 2020 for the full year renewal and had to contact customer service. I was able to get a refund that time. Then I was charged again at the beginning of September 2020 for the next year. I hadn’t planned on continuing with the subscription since I wasn’t overly impressed with the products. I contacted customer service and finally received a response that I “was up for renewal” and wouldn’t be eligible for a refund. No, I wasn’t up for renewal when my initial invoice said next billing date 10/23/20. Contacted customer service multiple times and even tried disputing it with my credit card company. Never got my $251 back.

These responses from “Be Kind” are unhelpful and pathetic. I know this is 6 months late but it speaks to the kind of customer service I could expect if I joined. This is a hard (but easy) pass for me

I’ve had the same ticket open for months.

I have not received the winter box.

I have not received any “surprise and delight”

IMHO, the fall box was a complete rip-off with imaginary retail values.

Lastly, for over a month I’ve been unable even to sign into my account. When I try to, the following messages appears:

Hello,

We hope you are staying safe and healthy!

We are currently working to improve your account profile to better manage your BE KIND. subscription and will be rolling out updates to these features later this Fall.

While we make these changes, you will temporarily be unable to update your billing and shipping address, manage your subscription plan, or update your credit card information in your profile. Please reach out to [email protected] if you need to make any changes!

They say send all your questions to this Email they provide but they don’t respond. It’s a Nightmare. They need to step it up a 100 notches.

Guess the new CS team needs more training. Let’s see how long it takes to receive a response to my email now.

And I got the coupon for a free sunscreen too as my extra for premium. A $34 sunscreen for $60 ~ sounds “premium” to me. Utterly and completely ridiculous!

I continue to have a lack of response from the BeKind Team. Last month a new subscription period started without me receiving all 4 of my box for the current year. When i check the billing it is showing i will only receive 3 boxes next year as the 4th will be shipped in winter20(Winter was part of my original subscription which i started in feb this year) I planned to cancel after i received that box due to the lack of responses. When i question this all i received one mail to say subscription is auto renewal however no follow up from my reply questioning the number of boxes for this year.

Well I’ve started e-mailing them every day since I’m yet to get a reply from my first e-mail back on Nov 9th (and several subsequent ones.) Waiting on my fall box (and bonus items since I’m a premium subscriber) and the fall box for my sister (regular subscription but also under my account.) Have sent e-mails with the appropriate subject line but have received no response.

Alisha- requiring you to update billing for a future box you are not required to purchase by withholding a prepaid item is completely illegal. Take that email to your credit card company and dispute the charge. If you bought an annual request a refund for the portion you didn’t receive. In addition, ask the credit card company to place a block on them for future purchases. Report this to Visa and the FTC.

BE KIND.

Hi Alisha,

Please note that all Premium Members will receive at least one additional surprise-and-delight product or experience within their annual billing cycle.

Not only have I not received anything extra for premium, I read that some non-premium members received free amazon prime membership, and I didn’t lol. I have sent many requests for billing updates, cancellation confirmation, to find out what the difference between premium & regular boxes are…. especially since regaulr members are getting more… and lastly, that I haven’t received the last box?? I do get an auto reply that they have received my messages … that’s the extent of it ….. what a bummer. This was supposed to be a fun experience and a gift to myself….ughhh. I have also checked my be kind account and its blank too..

Starting in October, I have emailed them 14 times. I was finally told on the Friday after Thanksgiving that my fall box would be mailed out soon but they did not say anything about the box I bought for my daughter which is only her second box. I then got an email on 12/3 saying my box would be out the door soon and shipped 2 day shipping. As of today, no box for me but finally got an email that my daughter’s box shipped but to the wrong address so I guess the 3 emails I sent in July changing her address did not do any good so I have no idea if she will get her fall box now or not. There was no email asking to confirm the address before it was sent so I did not know they did not update the address until it had said it was already shipped. I bought these as a happy treat for myself and my daughter and it has turned into a nightmare. It is the worse customer service I have ever experienced. They do not answer emails and they do not let you have access to your account to see what is going on. My daughter’s first box came twice and that is the time where you no longer had access to the account so I still do not know if they credited the box back since we mailed it back. Well actually even though we live 8 hours from each other and they mail her box to her, they could not send her the return label they had to send it to me which was crazy. I emailed them three times after that to see if they credited the account but still waiting on that answer. I do not understand how hard it is to answer customers who are paying you for a service. I doubt I will ever get my premium fall box and the winter box will probably not come either. I also contacted the BBB since no one at this company cares to reply.

Cancel your card. It sounds extreme but its literally the only thing that has worked for many people. I have gotten two more shipping notices after canceling my card (they never send it because they are unable to charge me) which is total proof if I hadn’t canceled my card they would still attempt to charge me each box despite my account being confirmed as canceled 3 times. Because I canceled my card I am not impacted by this mess each time.

My daughter and I both had a year subscription to Ellens Be Kind boxes. We received our Winter and Spring ones (but had to repeatedly answer emails asking us to confirm our address even after the 1st box got to us). We have yet to receive our Summer and Fall boxes! I have sent numerous emails started early summer inquiring about our Summer boxes, and heard nothing. My daughter or I not both get a random email asking to confirm my address again for the 4th time, they say they can’t deliver if they don’t have confirmed address. We confirm our address again. And again Nothing. I email again and again no reply, a couple months later I get an email saying I have not paid for the subscription and that is why I have not received the boxes. I tell them we received the Winter and Spring ones and this was a one year paid subscription gift to my daughter and I from Ellen that we received at her 12 Days of Giveaway show Dec 9 2019! It is a gift from Ellen! why am I being told I didn’t pay for it? (so confusing and frustrating). I send another email explaining all of that again! And again nothing. My last email was sent early September and just yesterday December 8 2020 I received an email just saying they received my email and they are behind. No mention, explanation or resolve to the issue. I responded again, explaining the whole story as I have been all year long since early summer. I wonder if Ellen knows that people were not getting their subscriptions. I would like to think she would not be happy to know this. I agree this is the worst subscription box! I thought maybe it was just me but I see I am not alone! I really hope they can resolve these issues. I will not be recommending The Be Kind box subscription to anyone unless this gets resolved and then some. There has been no apologies for the frustration and delays its not at all what I expected from this experience. It should be joyful, reliable and attentive. Why offer this service and product if you cant keep up, deliver, reply or
care about your subscribers.

So sorry to hear your experience is as bad as the rest of ours. I think they’ve likely completely written you off since yours was a gift and you can’t do a chargeback with your credit card which seems to be the only thing that gets a response. I’d still file complaints with BBB and post about it on social media but I hate to say I think she tipped their hand when she said you didn’t pay for it. They’ve made it clear your gift is not guaranteed.

This subscription service is the worst (I’ve encountered. They charged me AGAIN at the end of October for an annual subscription on an acct that was closed in September (a disastrous experience), without any emails warnings or consent- I only knew because I checked my credit card statement. I’ve been emailing them and you would think I sent snail mail across the world or something! And when I got a response the rep was incompetent and said they already refunded me (yes, the first time they charged me!). And when I emailed back that I was charged again AFTER the subscription was cancelled, I’ve heard nothing. I will be contacting BBB per suggestion from a previous poster. This business is fraudulent. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!

If it makes you feel any better, I received an email from the BBB today regarding my complaint stating that Be Kind hasn’t responded to THEM either, after repeated attempts.

I did end up receiving a refund and automated apology for the duplicate November annual subscription charge, but they never directly responded to any of my emails either, and I am STILL fighting to get the initial unauthorized early charge from September refunded. That fight has been raging since 9/8. All I get from Customer Service is crickets, even though my last email was sent after seeing some of the more recent responses here. I even added “MSA” to my subject line for good measure, as I had done numerous times before.

It didn’t help then, and it doesn’t appear to be helping now.

I received an email the other day that my Winter Box (which I do not want, and have repeatedly said I do not want, as I canceled my Sub) is shipping. I emailed them again as soon as I received that email,. Unsurprisingly no response. I checked tracking today and it is still in the “label created” stage, but if it gets delivered it is going STRAIGHT back to sender.

By law, they cannot charge you for something you did not request. You could totally keep it.

I really hope when this box folds and these people who were “running” it try to get new jobs that their future employers background check. I can’t imagine someone coming into my work to get a job and we even just do a precursory Google search and see the kinds of complaints they’ve received that are literally some of the worst I’ve seen in my life and even dreaming of hiring anyone behind this s*&tshow. Actions have consequences. These people are not doing their job at other peoples expenses and I hope it bites them in the behind one day. This is scammer level behavior.

quarterly box subscriber

Today is the day that Be Kind. by ellen told me would charge the cost to my card. I cancelled my subscription a week ago. (I emailed the customer service to make sure – not heard from them as you can imagine.) Sad to receive a promotional email that Be Kind offered a 40% discount on the winter box. They should take care annual/premium subscribers better. I saw ‘repeats’ in this winter box. Yes, they could choose a pair of gloves or knit cap, instead of the scarf from the same company. They could include natural body scrub, for example, instead of the socks. As I see ‘repeats,’ I’m just wondering the curate team already ran out the ideas?!?!?! I understand the cause and don’t mind giving away some items to my friends/neighbors, though. I only kept eye masks from the fall box. 🙂

I was charged twice in November for the fall box. I only authorized one charge in August. I have attempted to contact customer service to be refunded but, I was informed that they can only see one charge? How is that possible when I sent copies of both charges. They seem to be ignoring my emails now. This is the worse customer service I’ve received from any of my subscription services. I wanted my money back!

Hi! I’d love if you could also check my account. I have been going back and forth with customer service and my credit card company since September. It directly states on your website that annual subscriptions renew annually on the anniversary of your initial bill date. My bill date is November 06,2019..wouldn’t that mean I should have been billed on November 06,2020? I was billed in September. Also, my husband purchased the premium subscription for me last year. Using his credit card. You billed his credit card for the renewal and it didn’t go through..you THEN dug up my credit card information from a past subscription and billed that. Completely unauthorized. It doesn’t seem very “kind” stealing $251.96 from a Christmas fund for a family of five during a pandemic.

I have written SEVERAL times to no avail! I have paid for 4 boxes and have only received 3. I am STILL waiting for my FALL box!

Can I please talk to an actual person?????

If I cannot get what I have paid for, I want my $50 back!!

I’m in the same boat. I have sent more than ten emails even using the MSA as the tag line, I opened a case with the BBB as well. I was a premium subscriber. What a rip off. Extra money for an extra sunscreen and no fourth box. I went as far as emailing the Ellen show

Same here Teri! They also charged my credit card again without permission. Then someone from Ellen emailed me and said they could fix all of it! It’s been 2 weeks and still no fall box and no refund!

I FINALLY GOT A REFUND!! I had sent 8 emails. Filed a claim with BBB and finally sent screen shots of my bank statement showing the double billing one month apart. This happened right after they posted here about getting a new customer service team. Who knows. But I am grateful that they finally fixed it.

I have emailed for weeks via your website and e-mails. I have included the attn: MSA. No one has responded to me. I was an annual premium subscriber and the Fall box was my last one. Where is my box?//. This is as bad as Oui please. Ellen should be ashamed of having her name on this box

It’s great that you’re finally taking steps to fix the non existent customer service however I will believe it when I see all the complaints and issues on here taken care of. I sent an email to get my problem fixed 24 hours ago and haven’t heard a word. Let’s see how long it takes to be resolved.

I also find it sad that you have time to come on here and post messages to a select few people but not everyone when we all clearly have issues.

Still haven’t received a response after 4 e-mails (and I did use the MSA subject line.) I received another summer box instead of the fall and my sister still hasn’t received her fall box — can you please advise urgently?

winter box 2020 announced

Just got an email with the winter box items. Sigh. Should have cancelled my subscription.

I hear you. A tribe alive scarf, they sent one last year, branded socks, also a previous send. I get that they are different in style, but for a newer quarterly box I would not be expecting repeats already. Could have been beanie, and winter scarf, fingerless gloves, so many things could have been chosen…ugh. And yes we are in a pandemic, but a mask? We all have a bazillion of them, if you need to yet again remind us of the situation instead of giving us small pleasures to distract us…..a nice smelling sanitizer? These are some of the worst curated boxes I have ever seen, and I have been a subscriber from the beginning. It is probably too late, but I emailed them to cancel.

I also have emailed them twice. 1st time because I cant log in and want to cancel. Log in states I am not a subscriber with the email I am using, however that email is the one they send billing and box info on.
Re-emailed again still no response. I am going to dispute it with my bank if need be.
