Homegrown Collective Subscription Box Review & Coupon – July

You should really update this post to help other people before they sign up for this collection! I joined before I looked at the Yelp reviews which was my own fault. Mitchell only helps you when the first mistake happens of them charging your card again pretending its your fault that you signed up for auto-renewal (I know for sure I didn’t), and acts like they will cancel your membership & refund you your money…..which they never do. Then they will charge you again & again & again…..and then you will never hear back from Mitchell again. Had to dispute the charge with my bank & cancel my card. This company is a scam & they are making a lot of money from innocent hard working people. Get the word out that they are crooks!

BEWARE this SCAM company!!!!!!!!!
Do not give them your credit card information!!
They will never let you cancel, will keep charging you even after you have cancelled NUMEROUS times, and will not answer calls, e-mails, etc. They have very poor customer service. It’s a shame, because it’s a good concept, and nice boxes. BUT DON’T FALL INTO THIS TRAP!!!!!!!!!

I too am disappointed in customer service – I sent an e-mail a week or so ago asking how to cancel my account, but never heard back. I also forgot my password, and never received an e-mail to reset – SO I’M TOTALLY STUCK!

My experience with Homegrown Collective is different. I have received 3 boxes so far without any problems. I emailed them because I never made a candle before and was unsure how to position the wick with the stick. I promptly received an email and a phone call offering assistance.

This is my favorite box which I enjoy a lot.

Their boxes are great, however, they have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life (and I’ve worked in customer service for 27 years, so I’m very patient and try to be understanding). I ordered a 6 months subscription at the end of December and have had to email, phone, and Facebook for all but 1 of my boxes. No one would ever respond to me in person to try and fix the problem, and I really tried to get them to call or email me back. I never received a box for January or March and am still waiting on my final box. I’m sure I’m going to need to start harassing them again so that I can get it. What upsets me the most is that I love the boxes and would have renewed my subscription if they had reached out to me. The monthly headaches are not worth it.

I forgot to mention that I do work with essential oils. I use Mountain Rose Herbs.

Haley – You may want to change your review to state it’s the July box. The Summer Essential Detox box is July’s box.

My August box arrived today which is The Beauty of Coconut Oil Part 2. The items to be made are deodorant, toothpaste, and lipchap. I haven’t made anything yet. I was curious if an actually coconut was going in my box because my June box had a huge aloe leaf in it.

I love doing these boxes. It is my favorite subscription. A heads up that the boxes tend to come the following month. For example August’s box shipped in August, but arrived in September.

This looks fun I love making candles. Also craft stores like JoAnn fabrics and Michaels often have wax for candles

I have been debating getting this box and am thrilled to see a review on it. Anyone been getting these boxes? Any hints on September? Or is the August still being sent out?
