My September box was delivered to a wrong address… I emailed the CS about my situation and I’m waiting for their reply 🙁
Have you guys ever encountered the same situation like I did? How would the boxycharm CS deal with it? I don’t want to miss the September box 🙁 This box supposed to be my first box… Poor experience

Once I changed my address (2+ weeks before I was charged) but they sent my box to my old address. When I let them know, they sent m a new box to my current address.

I’ve never experienced that exactly but they have been good about replacing broken items so I think it’s possible they will right the situation. I do know though that their headquarters is located in Miami Florida so they may be slow to respond after hurricane Irma.

Thanks!
They replied my email today saying that they will have an one-time replacement for me. Sooo happy that I can still get the September box as my first box 🙂

I just followed one of the comments to track my packages on FedEx (for free) by address. I see my BoxyCharm will be delivered on Saturday and FabFitFun next Tuesday. I’m super excited!

I will be swapping the Dr Brandt as soon as my box arrives. That brand sets my face on fire!!

Oooo I want! Are there any coupon codes or discounts for joining boxy charm?
Reply

Boxycharm doesnt usually have codes if you want the October box I suggest signing up quickly before they are gone because there will be a waitlist as of now I believe

Fyi my Sept box just showed up today and I don’t think I ever got an email with tracking info like normal…in case anyone else is wondering because they usually get it earlier in the month. I got the foundation brush, blush, darker eyebrow pencil I wanted and lippie in Mess Around. It looks like an unflattering (on me) chocolate color when I apply normally but blotted it turns into an ok stain with the natural pink of my lips so it’s not too bad. Wish I would’ve gotten the pinky shade but can’t always get what you want! Lol.

I think their stuff, like sending out shipping info, was interrupted because of the hurricane. I know they’re run out of Miami and they evacuated last week and I’m not sure if they have power back to Miami yet. The boxes appear to be shipped out of Connecticut, or somewhere over there, so shipping doesn’t seem like it will be interrupted.

I am so excited about t this scrub! I cannot wait to get it! The highlighter is exciting to!

SO excited about this! I am just about out of my other dermabrasion I got in a boxy a few months ago. I am loving this brand but sure can not afford 80.00 for a scrub!I am just as excited about October’s as I am September’s and Augusts lol actually I am never let down by Boxy!

Soo much YES! I already cannot wait for this box. I know I have heard a lot of people before say that they don’t want skincare in their box, but I personally think as a beauty subscription box, a little skincare every now and then is totally acceptable (and awesome to some.) I love skincare, and highlighters as well so this box is already great! 🙂

Can’t wait for my first box this month. Billed the 1st so fingers crossed for anytime this month. I got a full sized Dr Brandt pores no more from either beautyfix or Allure and I loved it! I feel pretty!!!

I was so sad when I missed out on the August box! Just wanted the brushes and Tarte eyeshadows… OK I just wanted the entire box! Excited to see the rest of the selection!

Soooooooooooo excited to see Dr Brandt! & Becca!? Woo hoo! Cannot wait!
And just an FYI… They ship from CT but their boxybabes are in Miami so we should still be getting the boxes as usual… Please also keep them in your thoughts and prayers during Irma and the cleanup after… ❤️

does anyone know if boxycharm sends tracking info? I was billed on 5th after being taken off waitlist but haven’t heard anything else?

I did not receive a shipping notice this month but if you sign up for a fedex delivery manager account (it’s free) you will see what shipments are coming to your address and I see that my BoxyCharm will be here Friday.

Thanks for the info on signing up for FedEx manager for free… I just did & my Sept box as due this coming Saturday woo hoo! I’ve been getting them at the very end of the month so I’m really excited about this! Looking forward to seeing what comes this month for my “variations” I hope everyone is happy with their shipping at least this month 😉

Sometimes I don’t get an email that my box shipped but I’ve always received my box, so far.

I didn’t get an email this month and my box showed up today!

Boxycharm will send a shipping notice. In normal months, they promise to ship within 10 business days of billing. But their HQ is in Florida and was affected by Irma, so things may take a bit longer this month.

Yyyaaaaassssss! Boxycharm I love you! Best sub box EVER! I can’t even wait! 🎉💃🏼🙌🏻👍🏻

It appears in the only one not excited. Oh well. Fingers crossed for the liquid highlighter.

I wasn’t contacted either, I sent an email asking for the tracking and they sent it quickly. My box is on its way 🙂

If I subscribe now will I receive the September box or would the October box be my first box (if I’m not wait listed)?
Reply
Korey
Actually, if there is no waitlist, you receive the month you are billed in. ie, if you are billed today, you will receive September’s box. If there is a waitlist, I haven’t seen it lifted before the 1st of the following month, but it can happen.

You should get the October box. When I signed up in May, I was waitlisted but got the May box anyways.

I have been subscribed to Boxycharm for over a year. Something happened and my payment didn’t go thru in time. I was a few days late and they now have me on the wait list. I am so bummed. Like really bummed. 😞😭

Melanie
That happened to me too. I’ve been subscribed over a year never an issue. Got an email saying payment didn’t go through. Followed the online instructions in on waitlist. I really want the palette. I’ll be so disappointed if I miss out.

Anyone know of a way to request the powder vs. the liquid highlighter? Would sub for one but never use the other…

You can’t request anything with Boxy.

What are you looking for? I want one and would NEVER use the other! We could swap!

I didn’t think boxy could top the august box but boy was I wrong! This box looks aaaaamazing!! Ahhhh I can’t wait to get this box! Soo happy right now. Boxycharm really is the best makeup subscription box ever!!!

Totally agree! The only drawback to Boxycharm is that it is darn near impossible to unsubscribe.

My September box showed up today I’m super disappointed. The Lippie cannot be described as anything other than poop brown it’s honestly awful and the eyeshadow stick is so stiff once it’s rolled up I can’t roll it down. Got the loose blush which is ok but I already have the briogeo. October is looking really good but this month is just a huge disappointment overall I’m not pleased
Reply
Candice
What eyeshadow stick did you get? If you mean the MAC eyebrow pencil I think they are supposed to be stiff…I read a post further up where someone used a small amount of the Colourpop lippie it and it came out sheer, try that and see if it works. I on the other hand would be extremely upset if they send me the pink one considering I always get pink.
Sorry, this sucks for you though maybe you can gift it to someone

Well if it makes you feel better I’m still waiting on my August and September boxes to even arrive…

I have 2 of the age defying one from other subs and have never really used it. Not totally sure why I just don’t love a large grit exfoliator. I prefer an acid peeling one or a finer grit. I will have to try it out again though. Anyone know if there is much difference between this and the age defying one?
Reply
Andrea
The age defying one is coarser than this one. This one is a little finer. I don’t think this one has the lemon smell of the others either, but I could be mistaken. If you’re not a fan of them, I’d be happy to swap for them since the age defying is my favorite.

I don’t know about the age defying one, but this one is super fine (comparing to my other physical exfoliators, such as Fresh Sugar Face Polish). I hope it helps!
