Hi, Rebecca. I actually lol at the “get off my lawn” post. Thank you for the laugh this morning. I need those when I can get them.
I really love this site, and the people posting seem sooooo nice. It’s become one of my favorite sites to visit. I never thought I would become a sub addict, but here I am, one of the worst.
At this point, I’m not sure who I responded to. I guess I appreciate anyone who bothers to read my cranky old posts. LOL
You have a great day and may the sub box Gods give us a super great deal today.

I got the email about the presale but decided to skip and take my chances. Those boxes are flippin’ huge and last forever; we’re still using stuff from the one box purchased last year. I could see if you had a bunch of kids or people to share it with, but… otherwise, it’s too much stuff. I’m going to just wait and see if I want each individual box and if I miss out, oh well. 😀

Does anyone remember if you could purchase more than one box when it goes on sale regularlly? I would love to get one of these for my mom and sister for Mother’s Day. Thank you in advance for any information.

Yes,I got gifts for family last year, but i used their addresses and e-mails, for ordering. For some reason, only one per address. So if you get presale your info is already logged. Good luck, it worked for me last year, but you know how rules change.

I recall only having the option to place an order for one.
Maybe someone who ordered more than one remembers – Did you need to have another email address to purchase more than one box?

Any word on when they will be releasing spoilers for the first box?

We should have exclusive spoilers soon! 🙂

I heard about this box & pre-sell too late last year to get in on it. I was sure I’d be all in for this year’s pre-sale but I decided not to.
Had pretty good success last year in getting all three boxes when they went on sale, so I’m willing to chance that my luck will hold. It would also be nice to see some spoilers. I’m sure they’ll all be a really great deal, but its nice to know what you’re getting so you can see how much you’re saving!

I’m with you on this one. I’ve never bought one in the past after careful consideration, but because it is a decent amount to spend (even if it’s an awesome value), I like to make sure there’s enough stuff that I want to make it a good enough value for me to bite 🙂

I had originally decided to not do the presale but then succumbed to FOMO!! I justified it by the fact that I don’t remember hearing about these boxes last year. I remember seeing them in my magazine but by the time I would see it and then look it up they were gone. So this way, I have them! I will probably be cancelling FabFitFun to justify this though!

Just a heads up, if anything arrives damaged, it’s nearly impossible to get it fixed/replaced. I spent nearly 5 weeks (out of principle) and about 7 emails (getting shuffled around) to get something repetitive (and not worth the cost of shipping) because item was out of stock). it was such a frustrating experience. and yes, I used the customer service email address. But it’s so generic, they kept saying someone would get back to me and no one did. until I would start a new attempt….

Mine was missing three items, and I emailed and called several times mainly from the principle of the thing also, and finally just gave up after a month. It left a sour taste for this box. Never again.

Those of you who preordered — did you get an email confirmation? I’m still waiting on one.
I know I should feel at least moderately foolish for paying extra for the privilege of buying all three boxes at once, but I’m actually relieved that I won’t have to worry about missing it. The last Beauty Thrills box was chock full of great products my whole family has used. Next to the 2015 holiday Glossybox, it’s been my favorite purchase.

Don’t feel foolish, I also paid for the subscription as I did last year and I am glad to not have to chance missing the boxes. I did get a confirmation email about an hour after I paid for my subscription.

I remember them showing full spoilers in previous years when this was offered. I did get this last year and it came to $212-$216? And just a heads up based on my experience last year– the charge on my CC statement was some “company” that I had never heard of and I just didn’t make the connection to Allure– called the tel# on my statement and it was something about PayPal which further mystified me. Spent a lot of time with my CC co trying to figure it all out and was going to dispute it. A couple of days later it hit me that it was the Allure boxes and immediately called Discover to cancel the dispute. But they (Allure) may have changed their system from last year.

I think the company was Allied Printing. I was a little behind in updating my Quicken so I didn’t notice it until months later. I Googled the company and there was no way I had done an order with them. I called the next day after they opened and they were super sweet about helping me figure out the “order.” I felt silly after I found out what it really was. Apparently they do fulfillment for the boxes (not sure if it will be the same company this time though).
And I did pre-order. I passed on Sephora after I got off the waitlist. I just have too many small samples in my stash (see how I’m justifying this? This box will have full size things that I will take forever to get around to using up…but that’s my justification….not samples, full size….LOL)

I went ahead and did the pre-sale!
I have not previously gotten one of these boxes, but looking at the reviews they look like a lot of things I would definitely use and normally spend way more for if bought individually in store.
I did wait at least a few hours after seeing it went live to do so though, I kept trying to talk myself out of it and just wait for the box to come out and try to purchase just one to see how I liked it, but knew if it sold out on me it would drive me crazy until the next one came out.
At least now I don’t have to worry about waiting for the individual boxes to go on sale unless I see spoilers and want to buy an additional one for gifting/donating.

Happily did the presell. If I did not up at 5am pst everyday, I would miss the Target boxes. By 9am pst I am usually knee deep in meetings. It was worth it for me so I would not miss them. Plus, I share the products with family and friends. Makes me happy. ☺

I’d do the pre-order and pay the premium if I didn’t have to pay all at once. Psychologically, I just can’t do $200 (or rather $220 when you include the tax).
I did buy each box last year. They worked OK for my family of four. I got introduced to a bunch of a new-for-me products that I really liked (but that I’m still using, full sizes take a long time to go through) and I was able to swap most of what I didn’t need or give it away. I will probably buy this box as well – but I do like seeing the preview.

I happily did the pre-sale, the extra 20 bucks is worth it to me in terms of my time spent trying to get three boxes at release time. Now I just have to sit back and wait…the hardest part!

Me too! After a few hours of internal struggle, I decided to pull the trigger and I’m feeling good about it. These boxes keep me from having to buy basic (and even not-so-basic) toiletry and personal care items, plus it’s really fun to donate and share!

I enjoy these boxes and find the items useful and always worth the value (for me). What I dont use I share with family and friends so win, win and I dont have to go buy any of it. Ive never missed out and always get one but this just made it easy. Call me lazy!!! Lol

I’m right there with you, lazy people unite! ?

There was no way I could buy all three boxes at once, which kind of bums me out because I couldn’t get through for the last single box. Here’s hoping my luck will be better this time.
Congrats to everyone who purchased today!

I’m going to wait and purchase the single box. Thanks for keeping us informed as always.

I’d be up for paying more to pre-order IF it was only for a single box AND there were spoilers, but being committed to 3 boxes without knowing what’s in them is too much of a risk at $200, particularly with how much overlap there was in products in the last few boxes and the fact that I haven’t had any trouble getting one in the past. It is interesting to see them capitalize on FOMO. Hahahaha.

I’m really happy for those who decided to do this; I hope it works for them. It’s just me and hubby, and truthfully we’d never go through even one of these boxes, let alone three. So to pay extra to lock in three just doesn’t make sense for me.

Hey everyone! I was not happy with the premium attached to this order, but I caved and purchased it.
For those who did purchase it, did you guys notice the 12$ fee added to the order for digital access? I did not add that to my order and emailed them about the digital access?
Reply
Irene
i was charged taxes, but no fee.

I paid an additional $12.62 but it was clearly marked as tax, nothing about a digital access fee.

That is odd… for me here is what it says on emailed receipt
Subscription Information

Your subscription will be automatically renewed unless you tell us to stop. Before the start of each renewal, you will be sent a reminder notice stating the term and rate then in effect.

Anyone else get this?

I did not have a digital access charge. I have taxes on top of the $199.95 charge. Is the $12 fee for taxes?
Reply

How did you contact them about that $12 fee? I sure don’t want to pay that! I never can contact them!

Here’s the email addy on the page where you purchase the 3 boxes. Hope this helps:
On the order confirmation page, I saw that there was an email link, it opened up a new draft for email and sent them my question with my email on the subject line. IT was odd that there was no order number for me, just the order summary.

Well, I wasnt paying attention ( working) and thought this was for the single box. I was sooo excited and then realized that it was only for all 3. I called the customer service number right away ( in the middle of an anxiety attack) and explained. The CS rep was very nice, but they have no protocol on what to do with my situation, after holding a while, the CS took my info and said they will TRY to stop the charge. It went through my bank, but I’m hoping they reverse it soon. I wouldn’t mind so much if payments were in instalments, but 200.00 all at once…..can’t do it.
Single boxes are on sale the 27th. My error and my stupidity.

I usually wouldn’t spend the extra money but I drive myself so crazy to make sure im online at the right time and set 10 reminders….Sometimes a little extra money is worth the peace of mind

I’m torn. I haven’t had any issues getting a box when I wanted one, but it would be nice to just have it locked in and move on with my life. Hmmmm….

For those questioning whether to do the presale or not, I did it two years ago, but I skipped it last year. I’ll be skipping it again this year.
I had no issues purchasing any of 2015’s three boxes so it was worthwhile to save the money for me. I’d recommend the presale only to those who really want the boxes and find that they’re usually not able to purchase right when they go live. If you figure you or a friend can be available to purchase right at launch, you shouldn’t have any problems.
For me, the only benefit was that I got the box a few days before everyone else when I preordered, but that wasn’t worth the extra $20.

Am I reading this correctly – $199 for 3 boxes that cost only $49.95 each if ordered separately? No thank you – no bueno Allure 🙁
Reply
nana
They cost $60 each, once you add the shipping. So it’s basically paying $20 extra and paying it all at once to not have to order each box separately. Also, individual boxes may go up in price. I think last year they started at $55 and ended at $60.
Reply
Michelle
Amy it is $199.95 + tax to preorder all 3 boxes.
It works out to be $66.65 + tax per box to preorder.
If you order when the boxes go on sale it is $59.95 ($49.95 plus $10 shipping) + tax.
It ends up being $6.70 extra per box to preorder.
Hope that clarifies it a little bit.
