Organic Authority Fall into Health Goodie Box On Sale Monday!

Thanks Kathy!

You know I believe my dilemma started with me not doing enough (any) research before I took the plunge! That, and preconceived notions.

I had seen the box, and thought all the items were just the “preview” of the box. Not EVERYTHING that was in it. It didn’t make sense. (Not for $129?!?!) snacks/coupon&vouchers/detox tea?? I incorrectly presumed it was a promising start….

In the defense of MSA though, I wasn’t told incorrectly, it was my own assumptions that mislead me.
In a rush to grab one of the 60 available boxes (BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!?!?) I didn’t think twice?

I (incorrectly) believed/assumed that they would sell out, much like Allure beauty thrills used to always do! I had been left out of one of those before and it must have created some major anxiety and FOMO (fear of missing out) in my psyche.

Once I realized I was equivalent to the “first five through the gate” I wondered why people weren’t piled up behind me?

I had no idea what I was spending my $129 on, I am so ashamed. ??

I think my embarrassment and maybe pride was what prevented me from contacting the company to complain. I didn’t need/want/use most of its contents. However, my dumb blunder, I believe, preventing me from telling anybody.

So now, here I am telling everybody? It’s still upsetting to me, but I take responsibility for the oversight. Not wanting to look cheap prevented me, at the time, from contacting their customer service.

If that wasn’t bad enough? I got the box, and it actually GOT WORSE.

It had no pizza stones, or kitchen gadgets. It had tea, mouthwash, homeopathic throat medicine, an XS light blue T-shirt (that retails for $50 and had the strangest “logo” which looked like a blotch. Like I had spilled bleach on it? Idk…I had to go to the website bc I thought it was defective….but no, that’s just the way they are made. ?
The ill fitting, blotchy-logo, $50 100%cotton Tshirts wasn’t torturous enough? The NutriBlend oil container came punctured (pre-shipping it appeared) the $60 blush wasn’t worth near $60 (company website didn’t offer that size, but estimating price per gram based on the larger/smaller versions they offered.)So the detox tea, replacement meals (2), and organic snacks was (just about all) that $129 will get you….and that’s when you are “saving over 70%” according to them. SMH

It is so ridiculous I have to laugh now. I have been beating myself up over it for over 5 months, and it is time to get over it.

The baked goods coupons were unusable in my area (for a specific shop no where near where I live). Then the online voucher for the free full size essential oil spray worked. After the six week wait, and $10 S&H fee….I have to admit it was a welcome sight, something I actually could enjoy.

So after the initials mistake I made, with the usual policies regarding subscription box return/exchanges, and the embarrassment of my situation, should I have reached out to them?

I pray that telling my experience will, finally, allow me to release it. Being a daily MSA subscriber, reading almost every review/spoiler/announcement they post, every time I saw this box my heart sank. After someone inquired about the detox tea….I couldn’t contain myself any longer

That’s it. I have pictures to remind myself of the valuable life lesson I learned. Otherwise if someone would like the $60 organic blush….Its never even been opened. If you want it, let me know. Thank you for letting me vent.

Thanks Carmen, I was nervous to speak up. However if I can spare you the disappointment I went through…it was worth it.

I am a subscription box addict (aren’t we all, lol???) so I don’t “get down” on a dismal reveal very often. Despite the approx. 10+ boxes I receive every month (well that’s what my husband knows about) ?
I am generally a optimistic, easy to please type of gal.

Even finding tolerance for my most recent Allure Beauty Trills boxes??

79 year old Monica to gaggle of young grandchildren:
” Grandkids, come, please gather round. Oma wants to tell you of a time…..long long ago.
A time of SUBSCRIPTION BOXES filled with A BOUNTY of name brand TREASURES.
Redken, Lancôme, OPI, st. Tropez and more…..
From self tanners to peels to masks-n-lotions galore!!
Where every item was a HERO!
We all gasp, as we unveiled each new surprise! Oooohhing and aaaahhing from not believing our eyes!
We would revel with delight, with the unknown, jaw dropping amount of generosity of such magnificent companies! Every mother, daughter, and son would be fulled with gratitude and overwhelming joy. Left to toil in their bountiful curations!!!”
And then I will show them pictures of years and memories and beauty products pass. They would be left speechless, from such a grandiose display, unheard of In present time.
And I would close my eyes, and remember……
***and then they would tell grandmpa that Oma is talking in riddles again, and wonder aloud what I had slipped into my morning coffee. Lol, ah, that was fun.
Boy, I need to find a new hobby!
