I am still awaiting my boxes and I can’t get any information from Allure as to when they will ship, if they have shipped, or whether they will ship.

Contemplating a charge back on my credit card since it has been almost two weeks since I ordered.

Nan

It took about 3 weeks for me to get mine. It seemed like forever lol, but once it was here I was so glad I ordered them. Lots of goodies, mostly all full-size, and all-in-all it was a bargain.

Maf

Rec’d the Fall 2016 box today

Nan

Got my September box Saturday.

Nan

I just got my August box today, so they’re shipping them. No email or tracking info at all. There’s a lot of stuff in there.

Mattie

My August box is stuck in ATL :/ Hopefully it will start to move again soon. I really liked the May box and became anxious waiting for the August box to arrive so I called CS and asked if they could add-on another May box for me. The addiction is real

Linda

My August box is out for delivery today!1

Mattie

I just received a shipping notice. I checked tracking and my August Thrills box is about halfway to me already. YAY!

LisaJean2

I received the August box yesterday. I never did receive a shipping notice (through email or on my account). So, they are shipping them out!

Phoebe

Did it come UPS or post office?

LisaJean2

USPS

Justme

Just got the May box (I’m on the west coast). Actually really impressed with it. All things I will use. I wouldn’t have paid $49+ for it but for $24.95 it’s crazy good value.

No notice on the August box yet.

Mattie

That’s how I felt too. I wasn’t interested in it when I saw it listed for $49 + $10 shipping but once it went to $25 it was an awesome deal! I’ll use everything in it except for like 2-3 items and those will be happily accepted by family/friends. To be honest I wouldn’t have picked up the August box on its own for the $49 + $10 ship either until it was combined as this 2 box offer. Stand alone neither of them seemed worth it to me ESP since they add the shipping charge. Together they were a steal that I couldn’t pass up 🙂

Amy D.

I got my May add on box yesterday. Same day I was emailed my tracking. No August box yet. Kinda happy to see that everyone else didn’t get them together.. at least it isn’t lost.. I hope.

Carolann

Same here! I have an email in to customer service about this. I was also missing an item from my May add-on box.

Polly

Received my May add-on box today. No August box though.

Mattie

My May add-on box was delivered today. No tracking email. I ordered both boxes on 7/26

Nan

This gives me hope. Thanks. Did you receive the August box at the same time?

Mattie

No. Only received May so far.

Nan

My May box arrived today! Finally lol! I was surprised to see how big each of the items are. I thought they would mostly be samples, but they were full-size. Can’t wait to try them. No August box yet.

Christine

I pre-ordered for the year in April and still have not received a shipping notification. Call CS on the 8th and they said that “it had not been pulled yet” but that I should be receiving a shipping notification at any time. Nothing as of this morning.

I just got a shipping notification. The box weighs 15.6lbs, I’m assuming it’s Allure since I haven’t ordered anything else.

shana

When do they ship these boxes out? I have not received a tracking number

Nan

I’ve been wondering that, too. My credit card was charged two weeks ago, but no info at all on when the boxes will ship. I’ve never had a company charge me until my purchase was shipped. 2+ weeks seems excessive.

Mari

I received the add on May beauty thrills box today but not the August one? I did not receive an email to let me know it had shipped. Just came home and there it was.

Jayne

So, what happened to the pre-orders getting their boxes shipped right around the time of the general public sale? I’m not sure that was ever a guarantee, but it has always been that way in the past (supposedly another “perk” of paying additional for each box).

After being told I was not a returning customer and the May discounted box was not available to me (even though I have done pre-orders 2 years in a row), I sent a rather nasty email back to Allure. A different rep responded and said they would allow me to purchase a May box. I’m not going to bother….just not worth it.

While I get that they have to move their stock, I still think that someone could have realized that pre-orders should have been notified of this sale before the general public sale (or at least have been notified at all!).

I think Allure has spread themselves a bit thin with this box and their monthly boxes. I’m still not sure how the sourcing for these boxes happens, but I think companies are getting hit up left and right to provide products and the well is only so deep.

Christy

Here’s what I don’t understand. We all had a heads up of what was in the first box BEFORE the presale and before the first box even went on sale individually. I understand that they USED to have better items but I’m happier now with items I know I’ll use than items I might use. I’m reading comments of how people have wasted money. Ummm….how? The value of the first box alone was more than what we paid for the presale price of all three boxes. Yes, the May box being an add on with the July box is a new thing but one call to customer service or a quick chat online (which is always 10 times easier) and your May box is ordered for $25.

Kathy

I wish! There was no heads up on what was in the box at the time it was first launched. Otherwise I never would have bought them!!

Christy

But there was. We get the spoilers about a week before they are even released for sale. Look back through the spoilers and look at the release dates. As for the presale, of course we didn’t know the contents of the second and third boxes but the value of the first box covered the price we paid for all three.

Katherine

I called CS last week and talked with a rep who was going to add the discounted
May box to my pre-order. She took my CC info, but so far there has not been a charge. Anyone else call to get the May box added? Have you been charged yet?

Nan

I ordered the new Beauty Thills box along with the May box a week or so ago. Checked my account and there was no record of it, so I inquired thru their chat line. She said they are “in process” whatever that means and my account should update soon.

Mattie

@Nan I think you and I purchased our orders on the same day (7/26). Both of my holds have turned into completed transactions so I’m hoping that means they will be shipping soon!

Karen

I wonder if the WEN product will still be included now that the FDA issued a safety alert on the product this morning. hmmm…

I saw that! Mine will be going in the trash lol

Lisa

I remember a time that these boxes would sell out in less than an hour. Here we are 2 days later and the box is still available. Hope Allure gets a clue that the boxes just aren’t that great anymore! They use to be a mix of high end to drug store items. I discovered IT Cosmetics and some other great beauty products through them. Now the items are just eh. They do have some value but not what it used to be. My wallet was saved from taking a hit! Lately I’ve noticed that a lot of the really great boxes are now just ok, like Glossybox. I passed on that recent deal too. Maybe now I’ll have a chance to really get through my stock pile of stuff.

Mattie

Just out of curiosity I went to check and it appears both deals are still available. It’s been over a week now

lisa

I prepaid and I added on May’s box because the cost to replace the items I use in the box is more than the entire box at the sale price. I think it would have been nice to have been offered the box at a discounted rate, but I do understand that Allure needs to unload it’s unsold products. Thankfully, I saw the deal here!

Helen

Customer Service number is 877-356-9904
I wonder how much money I will get refunded-should be 2/3 of what I paid for the 3 boxes since I only got one.

Kathy

Should be around 120. I just got a cancellation email.

So they’re actually allowing you to cancel on the pre-paids?

Heather

I ordered both boxes yesterday and my total with shipping was $84.94.. Not bad!

Justme

I caved and got this box and the past box. $84.94 for both is a good deal. I’ll use a lot of the products – the rest will be given as gifts.

Cat

Can’t find my other comment to add to but I think I just fully understood the extra $20 up front they made people pay and I don’t get that at ALL…if you preorder, you preorder. Starting to get why people are so angry now.

Mary K

I don’t understand the outrage. I think people are holding sub boxes to a different, unfair standard. When you buy a jacket for $50 at Kohls and it is discounted to $25 a month later, that’s just business as usual. Allure is a business. They charged a premium for the presale and those who took the offer knew they were paying extra for the convenience of securing all 3 boxes. Nobody at that point knew how popular the boxes would be. Prior boxes were hugely popular and sold out quickly. When the May box proved unpopular, they tried to move the inventory at a reduced price. Again, business as usual. Sure, it’s aggravating as hell to spend more money on something than your neighbor, but it happens literally every minute of every day and you can’t expect to be compensated for it every time or businesses would fold.

Laura

For those of us who prepaid for all 3 boxes back in April, I think the outrage stems from us having to pay an extra $20 for the “privilege” of prepaying. I can deal with paying full price and them discounting any remaining boxes 2-3 months later. But something about paying the extra $20 on the premise that the boxes will sell out within hours–but they don’t even sell out within months kinda sticks in the craw a bit.

Phoebe

I have been buying the Allure Beauty Thrills (previously called Allure Beauty Box) for over 6 years. I think I only skipped one. The first box I bought was $39.99 with free shipping. When they started adding prestige brands to the drugstore brands, they really took off and would sell out in minutes, one time was 11 minutes! But they allowed people to buy up to 5 boxes. And of course people bought extra boxes to resell some items on eBay for close to the retail price. You could make your money back by selling 2 or 3 of the products.

When Allure first offered the 3 boxes for $199 plus tax and shipping a lot of us subscribed. We were not told that the individual boxes would be cheaper than buying all three. We were paying a premium to have the guarantee of buying a box when so many people couldn’t get one. I never did the package deal again because I have always been able to buy the single boxes. Then Allure reduced the maximum purchase to 3 boxes, 2 boxes, and now 1 box which I think is fair. Then the quality and quantity of the items went downhill.

One time a box did not sell out so Allure reduced the price by $10 and it finally did sell out. This $25 box is a new thing for Allure. The problem with Allure is you don’t know what they will do and their customer service is terrible as well as inconsistent from person to person.

Sorry this is so long. I will continue buying the boxes on an individual basis if I like the selection. I also subscribe to the monthly Allure Beauty Box (previously Sample Society) and have had multiple problems there too. Allure needs to improve their customer service. The end.

Colleen

The thing is that Allure had set a standard over the past several years, and the boxes were so good that they sold out in minutes. So those of us who have always bought the boxes, or missed out on one, just figured that the boxes would be excellent as usual. Allure has downgraded their boxes, while charging more. That is what people are upset about.

Marissa

I do not understand the outrage either. If they would have sold out in 2 minutes they would have been super excited to get the boxes that others missed out on. Which used to happen quite often. I have pre-ordered in the past some were good others not so much but it is a chance you take with these mystery boxes and part of the fun! Some times you win and other times you lose!

Luna

I completely agree with you. Allure’s a business, and it makes sense they’d sell the May box on clearance to get rid of it (which is unprecedented, that I can tell).

I think my initial reaction of annoyance was due to the fact that the discount wasn’t offered to those of us who prepaid (calling CS to purchase the box doesn’t count since it was never mentioned to prepaid customers this was an option in the first place). After thinking about it a little, I was even wondering why I cared, because I wouldn’t have re-purchased May’s box anyhow!

Jayne

Well actually, most stores (including Kohl’s) have the option of giving you the credit if an item goes on sale within a certain period of time. Plus, my pre-order told me the boxes would retail for $49.95 PERIOD. Not that they might go on sale at a lower price. I should have been made aware of that option when I purchased.

What I really find offensive (besides being told I am not a “returning” customer) is the fact that I wasn’t even offered a chance to purchase this discounted box. It would have been nice of them to do for those who either pre-ordered or paid full price for the May box.

Nikol

If you pre-ordered the year, just call the customer service number (follow the link to the order page in this post & scroll down to the black section & the customer service phone is there) & tell them you preordered & would like to buy the closeout box & they’ll sell it to you.

Most stores will make price adjustments for temporary sales (weekly circular ads, e.g.) but not clearance markdowns.

I agree! If one wants very specific items – it is best to specifically purchase them. These boxes are often about the weeeee factor – getting a bunch of stuff in the mail – most of it a surprise. And for me that is the fun part – it is like a present! Regarding things getting marked down – that is what retailers do to sell overstocks. Of course – who doesn’t love a deal! But this (as well as other sub box companies) are businesses. It is not a personal slight.
Personally – I enjoy receiving these boxes. They are fun! And they do have a good value.
I absolutely love the idea that some have mentioned of donating what they don’t like. I have heard that many shelters are always in need of personal care items.

Kathy

This was my first subscription with thrills. I based my buy on past boxes, however these boxes are nothing like those past boxes. I judge them on their past business and expect what they have put out as the same. This is business. They did not put out so I will not put up with it. Nothing unfair or unfair standards here.

Jennifer

Anyone know what color the toppik is? I’ve used this before but it comes in various hair colors. I use the black and if I get blonde it’s a waste for me. It’s something that’s so color specific, I’m kinda surprised its in the box
