Has anyone that prepaid for the Allure Beauty Thrills 2016 received their December box yet? I haven’t received mine yet and I keep contacting Allure but they will not respond.

Has anyone ever had anything missing from a box (I’m guessing it’s happened since they’re put together by humans 😉 I already reached out to Customer Service and they said they are sending a replacement but just wondering if I should really hold my breath to actually get it?

Reply ButtonReply

it’s happened to me and they were great about sending the missing product. not the same fulfillment company this time though. they owe you this product so you need to keep after them if they don’t take care of you.

I too was very disappointed with the box this time. I have been getting them for years and have been so very excited each time I opened the box. I prepaid for the 3 and have been doing so for 3 years but if this is what I have to expect I WILL NOT be continuing. Again, VERY DISAPOINTED. No Product Info either – usually there is a booklet with it.

ditto here…. been buying these for years and the deals keep diminishing and the fulfillment
keeps getting worse. and we overpaid as well since they have been selling the boxes at a reduced rate when they don’t sell out.

I am happy with the thrills box… I don’t use drugstore shampoo, conditioner, or body wash, so I am glad that I didn’t get those products… there was one body wash but I gave that away. I definitely got my money’s worth.

I was happy with my box, but with that said, I knew that this box was not up to Allure’s past standards in quality and quantity.

This was a box of beauty essentials – chapstick, deodorant, toothpaste, hair ties – Not a box of luxury. This was only my 4th Thrills box, but I could definitely tell a difference in the amount of products and brands. While it’s good to know that I have an extra (really nice) toothbrush, face wipes and body wash), there was just nothing in the box that made me really EXCITED to get it.

I’m hoping that their selection improves for future boxes, otherwise, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start losing loyal box buyers – particularly those who bought all three boxes during the pre-sale. That said, it was still a pretty good deal. I’ll hold out to see how the new couple of boxes fare…

got an email yesterday asking if i still wanted to buy one of these. these used to sell out in about 10 minutes. that being said , they could just have more this year. it also wasn’t promoted as much. in years past the products used to be work over $500.00 and there weren’t products like deodorant, toothpaste, blister cushions and hair ties. this used to have high end Hair and skin care and make up. i would love Allure to get back on track with this offer – these were always full sized products. i am assuming that Allure could pay cost (basically nothing but not free) and bring this offer back to life. they would still make a profit at $50 i pices plus $10 shipping. I DO love the pureology volume and style, the Redken and tigi products in this box

This is my first thrills box and I thought it was a good deal. There are lots of things in there that I am happy to try but I would never just buy them on my own. Reading all of the comments of how they ‘used to be’ kind of makes me sad that I never got those ones but all in all I am happy with my box!

I just received an email from Allure stating that the beauty thrills are still available for sale. It has been weeks and they have still not been able to get enough people to purchase their supply. Other boxes have sold out within minutes! When I saw the spoilers I passed. I have purchased almost all of yhe boxes in the padt. Not this one.

My box arrived yesterday. Yes, it is a lot less than some of the last boxes, but I think I might use more of these products.

I am wondering if the market saturation is having an impact on all beauty boxes. I’m not sure how obtaining products works, etc., but if there’s 15 boxes clamoring to get you included in their box, how many products can a company provide? And wouldn’t companies worry about over-saturation (Remember Purlisse? That was everywhere for a bit and I think people got sick of the brand and the products.)

I’m sure Allure has a lot of pull, but now they are competing against themselves in a way with having the Thrills and the monthly box.

I did sign up for the pre-order so I’ll be getting at least 2 more. I’m hoping the next box will knock it out of the park (you know, with SK-II or something!!).

My box arrived today, the tracking had said ALLURE BEAUTY BOX, but i don’t subscribe to allure (as yet) so i figured it had to be the thrills box…this box does not feel better once its “in hand”. However, we did have spoilers so i knew it would not be as great a deal as the phenomenal Dec, 2015 box and chose to go ahead because it was still a relatively good value.
The only items i’m truly disappointed in are the bb cream (i’m deep tan but hey maybe i can use it to define my brow IF it blends well) and the scunci – i thought there would be a pack of about 5 but its just two TINY scunci that don’t stand a chance against my thick kinky curly hair but it does come with a coupon for a dollar off a future purchase so maybe i can get something a bit more sturdy.

i wish the spoilers had been out there at pre-sell. i googled and there was nothing. i probably would have passed on this one

Bb cream?

I received my Thrills box today. I can see why they were able to send it USPS vs. UPS this month. It is light. Usually it is so heavy I struggle to take it inside. I lifted this one without effort. Maybe their reduction in quantity and sizeable products is an effort to save postage; then, again, we do pay the $10 postage for each box……

Was a little sad to see it so light.

Emily

Were the products full sized?

Reply ButtonReply

yes the products were full sized but this used to weigh 13 lbs. and it’s now about 5. The box used to be full with 3 layers of products. I did the presell – unless I am mistaken there was no product listing. I was concerned when I saw how few products were shown when they sold the solo boxes… I am very disappointed. unless the next 2 boxes improve I will pass on these in the future. I have been buying these for over 6 years. we are paying the same cost for half of what we used to get. not a good deal anymore.

received my box. SHOCKED AT THE AMOUNT OF PRODUCT. think it’s less than half of what we used to get. I am now thinking I shouldn’t have purchased all 3 in the presell.

I didn’t see a product list in the presell and I have been getting this for years so I signed up immediately. box used to weigh 13 lbs. and this is about 5 lbs. At least I will use most of what I see but this isn’t the deal it used to be by any stretch of the imagination.

I am disappointed

Totally agree. I have been getting these boxes for years and was saddened when opening this one. Everything was miniature! The Rituals body cream was the item I was most excited about and it is the size of a deluxe sample. The braided elastics only came with 2 (not a variety like pictured) and to top it off the double zip bag was an ugly cheap print. I would’ve much prefered the one in the pic. The burts bee moisturizer and tangle teezer are the only items I’m not let down by. Hoping the august box is better. I regret buying the pre sale.

Oh my! I am so, so sad that I spent the money on this box. It is terrible. The beauty bag is hideous. You can barely see a hint of cheetah in the photo and what I received is all cheetah on one side and striped on the other. Just a letdown.

They spent a ton of money printing the insert but didn’t include instructions for some of the items. Weird. And a waste of money.

Jayne

Oh…and it is STILL AVAILABLE! (Of course, that could be totally wrong too…just like how they oversold the May monthly box!)

Reply ButtonReply

Jayne

I’m still confused. IF it is the Thrills box, why is my tracking number on the monthly box login/account site? Plus, it shows that my charge was 5/10/16. BUT, I never actually got charged for a monthly box (which I suspended last month). So, it must be the Thrills, but nothing matches up on this at all.

In the past there was no Thrills site to go to about account status, etc. Just weird.

Kathleen

I know for a fact it is out. Because even if they send me my one may sub box. I am then left with another tracking for allure. So one tracking must be for thrills. They need to better organize next time!

Barbie

I got tracking info last night for what I assume is the Thrills box, however, the email looks exactly like the one sent with tracking info for the monthly BB.

I called and was told that mine hadn’t been shipped yet, and was being sent out by USPS (not UPS). I believe my regular box has been delivered (well, at least it’s at my P.O. box) so I can only assume this confirmation was for the Thrills box.

By the way, the tracking for the Thrills box says the box left York, PA and was in Harrisburg, PA as of last night. Not sure why the phone rep didn’t have this info… The best part for me is that it’s being shipped to my p.o. box rather than being left on my doorstep for someone to take. 🙂 – Hey, you have to find the small victories where you can! lol

It says allure beauty box has been shipped. I called the allure thrills customer service and the man said it is the thrills box and doesn’t know why it said beauty box in the email. Either way it’s on its way.

Kathy

I think it is the thrills box, because I just got a second different confirmation. I had one sub box that I didn’t get, due to a error. They gave me a thrills as a comp. So I got a second different confirmation just now so it must be the thrills box. Cause I don’t have two regular subs on this email. So I am sure it is the thrills.

Customer service said no boxes have been shipped. Any shipping info I may have gotten would be regarding my regular monthly boxes. I recieved them before I got shipping info. They said they have my payment and the order slip but nothing g has been sent.

I called the customer service for allure thrills which is different from their other line and my box has been shipped and I now have tracking. I hope it’s worth the 60.00…

Phoebe

Thanks for the info. This is getting more confusing. My email says Beauty Box not Beauty Thrills but I’ve already received my May monthly box so I just assumed that it was the Beauty Thrills. I wonder if they are sending me an extra monthly box for all the trouble they put me through? And I think it is strange that they would send the heavy Beauty Thrills box via the PO instead of UPS.

Allure’s customer service is the worst! Why can’t they just tell us what is going on?

Reply ButtonReply

Phoebe

I posted on Allure’s Facebook page:

When will the Allure Beauty THRILLS box be sent? I paid for this April 26th and it was supposed to be sent in 7-10 days. Your customer service does not know when they will be sent. Please don’t tell me to call them because I’ve already tried that.

Allure

Allure Hi Phoebe! Sorry, but our social accounts are run by the editorial team and we don’t have that info. You’ll have to check back with the customer service team for Allure Beauty Thrills. They can be reached at [email protected] or 1-877-356-9904.

Kathy

I got a confirmation by phone and email. So I think it just depends on who you talk too and their level of knowledge. I was told I would not get a regular box, but a thrills in place of said box. The shipping is different from my box so I am sure he was right.

Reply ButtonReply

Jayne

I got the shipment confirmation and thought it was the Thrills since I “suspended” my account on the on the monthly. Sure enough, I just checked the monthly account info and I’m getting the May box (which I didn’t want and know people were clamoring for).

Whatever is going on with Allure they need to get it figured out soon!

Sonya

Just got a shipping confirmation…..I ordered the thrills as well as signed up for the monthly sub. I was told I would not be receiving the May box. This shipping confirmation is unclear what was shipped though. Frustrating.

I emailed them and asked because it said it would ship in 7-10 business days. Today is the 10th business day. They said we are sorry but at this time we do not have a shipping date. Sorry for your inconvenience. Soooo aggravating!!

Barbie

By my count, shipping should have started sometime between Friday, May 6 & Tuesday, May10. My card was charged on 4/28. Gee, it would be nice if they kept the buyers/subbers in the loop to delays.

On the flip side – I also sub to Mishibox. I was charged for the May Mishibox on 4/29 and got a notice on 5/9 that their boxes are going out late this month due to customs delays. Not thrilled (I want my boxes, and I want them NOW! 🙂 ), but I did appreciate that they told me, so I’m not just in limbo, wondering where it is.

Funny how a short, two paragraph email from Mishi made the difference between thinking of canceling and feeling like my subscription actually counted for something with the company…(hint, hint Allure. Please take note!)

Katie

I just hung up with customer service (800-274-1603). I was told there are “shipping delays” and could give me no further information. I asked if I could cancel my order and they said that the orders cannot be canceled at this time as they are scheduled to ship. As an apology they offered a half a year of Allure magazine at no cost to me.
I also signed up for the monthly beauty box and asked when I could expect shipment. I was told the beauty box grew faster than they anticipated, and they are having “growing pains” and fulfillment issues. So, although I signed up in April, I will not received a box until the June shipments.
I hope this helps a little bit!!

I got a call back from the man who was helping me with the error. They gave me a comp thrills box due to the mix up. He told me they ship today. So I assumed I was not the only one shipping.

I’m getting very impatient over here I’m glad it’s about to ship I am kinda disappointed it’s still available though

Why are you disappointed that the box is still available?

Ann

This is my first time with this box so I am excited! They gave me a second thrills box because they screwed me out of the May subscription box. They told me that, but I was not sure, but they confirmed the info today! So double the fun!!

Toby

So, I just called and asked when my box will ship since it’s over their time frame. And they tell me they have no idea when it will ship! So, I requested a refund..And to top it off, the box is STILL available, it never sold out.. I know it didn’t have the greatest stuff, but still was a good deal.. But, I’ll take my refund and buy the couple things in it that I did want at Walgreen’s.

Phoebe

I called yesterday too. They were clueless! I have a feeling they won’t ship until it is sold out and who knows if that will happen? One time a few years ago Allure reduced the price by $10 to sell the remaining boxes. Very disappointed it them! Just communicate with us so we know what is going on.

This will be the last time I order one… they used to be filled with great stuff, now not so much.. I did receive an email today that it shipped…But I’d rather have the refund at this point…

Clueless is exactly right! I needed these items for a trip that I take on Friday. I never dreamed that I would not of received it by now. And why even offer a customer service number if they know nothing!
