For those who got the Black Friday box, be sure to check the expiration on your Pariek Serum – both mine were Best By 6/2020 and they gave me a credit. Not sure why they put it in the box if it was expired before the box ever went out.

Hi Ivy, which box had the serum?

She says it, “Black Friday box” (which was premium #2)

GB needs to get their s*** together! When you click on the link to any of the mystery boxes, it clearly states “Buy Mystery Box and Premium Mystery Box for $30” but when you put it in your cart and attempt to checkout it charges the full price $37.

Hi AH! We reached out to GlossyBox and they have fixed this page on their site. If you add a Mystery Box and Premium Mystery Box to your cart, it will now show the total to be $30. Hope this helps!

Where does it clearly state that on Glossy’s site? This was a previous $7 off deal that is no longer offered. I only see it on this page, not on Glossy’s page.

I agree that GLossy needs to get it together. I hate their customer service so much!!!! I spent several hundreds of dollars over Christmas on their deals only to have them cancel orders left and right. So embarrassing to tell a friend they are getting 3 boxes for Christmas only to have 2 arrive. And then when I asked Glossy to replace with any box they say no and put a diff promotion on their website instead. Shady and dumb. And yet I’ll probably still spend money next year on their deals 😂
Bob
Yes, I was wrong. The page was not fully loading for me. It was my error.
I do believe the offer is no longer valid. This page is no longer accessible through their main site. You need the link to the mystery box page. They no longer have it up but page has not been removed or marked expired.

I only received 3 out of 4 boxes from BF deal and I am disputing the charge via PayPal after waiting for a long time for the customer service not responding to me.

Every single person I know personally and read comments by in the beauty box subreddit got their refund. It may take time and patience is required. I was sent 2 of 3 boxes in that 3 for $25 deal and emailed them- like many others, the spa box was missing and later told to be OOS. After a while I was credited. Some people did not message CS and were credited.
Sometimes people send many many messages to CS and I have heard this makes it difficult to process your case. I am not suggesting you did this, but just stating what I have heard and hoping it might help someone.
I hope your missing box or partial refund arrives soon but remember this is a pandemic and there were major holidays and a year of unprecedented online shopping.

If you scroll down this thread, there are about 5 people still waiting for their boxes ordered from BF or waiting for refund at the time they wrote it. Aftere receiving 3 out of 4 boxes, I waited for a few days and contacted the customer service via email on 12/14 and only once. I kind of forgot due to the holidays… Fastforward 3 weeks later, I still haven’t received any response, so I decided to dispute the charge.
Emilia
How can they sell the BF box if a lot of people haven’t received theirs when they had bought them when those boxes were first offered?!

Still haven’t gotten mine. Still begging for a refund.

I got the Rodial box and the October box. The Rodial box looks good, the October box is meh.

My combo arrived today and it’s the October 2020 box and the Black Friday LE box.

This is what I got too. I’m fine with it for $30 as I haven’t subscribed to GB in years and I didn’t already have any of these products.
Alisa
I also got the October box and the Black Friday box.
Jeanne Meyers
I don’t suppose it’s a higher price now because the contents are so worthy? Lol. New to this, but glad I wasn’t the only one having problems with the *sale*.

How did you get the $30 deal? I put both in my cart. But it stays $37.

I am getting the same thing this morning. Ended up here to see if there was a code to input I was missing, you’d think it would automatically applied.

Does GlossyBox ever release spoilers for the next months box before the month is up?

Old, leftover stock? Pass. Still waiting for Black Friday box that shipped November 27th.

I was going to buy this. I love a good mystery box. However, I looked at their website and remembered they started their own skincare line. I decided not to order, I do not want a box filled with their house products…..but the mystery might get me!
Reply
Snow
I wouldn’t mind trying their in-house products. I really like the fact that the packaging is very environment friendly. You do NOT see that very often.

Alisa
I bought a box, but am having some buyers remorse after reading these comments. 🙂
Hopefully it works out!

I’m confused … are there two different Premium mystery boxes to choose from?
You can also choose one mystery and one premium for $30. I did not see any indication of what is inside each, so I assume they are variations of leftovers.
Reply
Ashby
The real mystery is if they’ll send you anything or just keep your money.

Touché. I’m still waiting for 1 of the 4 boxes I ordered a month ago on BF. It hasn’t even processed. I guess I was lucky to get 3 out of 4. Not a chance I would take this deal, and they’ve got some nerve offering it IMO, when they haven’t sent boxes that were ordered a month ago!
Reply
Doreen
Update: I cancelled on their website 2 days ago and see the full refund for the boxes that weren’t delivered on my card today!
Kslo
I got the same message. I asked them to send me a different box because it was a gift for a friend instead of refunding and they said no. I really wish they had better customer service.
Doreen
They actually have an option on their website now to cancel that portion of the order! Supposedly I will be getting a refund as well… fingers crossed. We shall see what happens.
Coco1
Doreen- I emailed them specifically. I think you’ll want a full refund, because the Spa box sold out. Good luck!
Doreen
I’ve used the where is my package function twice on their website regarding my Spa Box x2 and only got a generic shipping is delayed because of covid and the holidays once. Did you use that function or did you email them specifically?
Coco1
Update on my BF past box (Spa Edition) that never shipped. I emailed them, and they responded pretty quickly. That part of my order has now been canceled; due to “overwhelming popularity” that box is no longer available, and I’m supposed to get a refund. 🤞🏻 The question is when or if I would have ever heard from GB about it if I hadn’t contacted them?
Emilia
I never got my BF box. They are still “investigating”…
Anja
I am still waiting on three boxes and received only one – the tracking number clearly shows that it has never shipped. I had to fill out a non-receipt disclaimer form after emailing them three times – each response takes a few days.
Ashby
Same! I’m waiting on two boxes. When I asked for a refund, they offered me a 50% refund. Uh…no, I want a refund for both the boxes I paid for that we’re never shipped.
Dea
I used to be tempted by offers like this, but ever since ipsy started offering a deal every day, that’s where my discretionary beauty money goes. They have great deals and you know exactly what you’re getting.
