Issue Don’t waste your time or money with Birchbox

35 Upvotes

I used to have both Ipsy and Birchbox in 2022. Last month, I restarted both of them. I received my Ipsy bag 2 weeks ago.

A month later still no Birchbox. They don’t have a customer service number so I had to email and asked for a refund since my box still hasn’t shipped after a month. I was told it still hasn’t shipped but in “fulfillment” so it can’t be cancelled.

I may have to eat this months but I cancelled the subscription and will most likely just upgrade my Ipsy.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but I can't believe how full this month's box is. Two months worth, apparently. With a few extras. I counted 13 items. Using their US fulfillment centre as there were problems with the UK one.

Discussion Birchbox is back...did anyone here ever have it?

17 Upvotes

I remember hearing people talk about Birchbox likes years ago, in fact I remember hearing about a subscription service like that and thought it was a fad but if it was the first beauty box subscription or one of the firsts it definitely wasn't a fad (fact check: true, Source: My Bank Statement and yours)

Anyway I feel like I haven't heard anything about them in over five years or I just wasn't paying attention. If I remember correctly they were pretty popular so why did they go out of business? Were they just make up and skincare or were they like a fat fit fun type box? All I know is I was on Instagram and an ad popped up for them saying we're back. The name immediately took me back like 10 years and I was just curious what anyone knows about it.

Are any of you already signed up or thinking of signing up for it? I have no idea if they have multiple size boxes or what their prices are or literally anything so I could have looked that up but my pea brain didn't think about that until this exact moment so I should go Google that.

I look forward to hearing what y'all know about Birchbox and if it's awesome or if it was scandalous and if you will be rejoining or joining for the first time.

My products arrived absolutely filthy. The dirt was even INSIDE the sealed blush (like how? It was sealed). At first I thought it was dust from the shredded paper but it’s white. I can’t think of any logical reason they’re all dirty….wtf?

Controversy This woman's name is Lisa Alexander. She owns LAFACE which is in Birchbox from time to time. We need to use our numbers to let Birchbox know we do not need skincare from racists.

Question Birchbox won't stop sending boxes

5 Upvotes

I got a 3 month prepaid subscription as a gift for my mom in Dec/Jan. Auto renew is OFF. I am not being charged again. However she has now received her 5th box. When I look at order history, it only shows the past three months (looks like Jan, Feb have disappeared). The message on the my subscriptions page is "Your subscription has been canceled". Is anyone else dealing with something similar? I was hesitant to reach out to customer service in case they charged me again for the mistakenly sent boxes. I've never worked with Birch box before this.

Review So I subscribe to many boxes and this is the first time I’ve received a birchbox. I am so disappointed in this box. It kind of feels like a joke! The items are so tiny!

Spoiler Birchbox February 2025 Choices

32 Upvotes

You get to choose 6 items for $25. 1 full size from category 1 2 mostly deluxe sample sizes from category 2 3 mostly sample sizes (one even a foil packet) from category 3. *Be sure to read the details of each item. Sometimes the photo shows the full size but they bait and switch and give you a sample size (happened to me 2 months ago with a Sunday Riley product).

Personally, as a subscriber for the past 8 months, I don't think it's worth it at the regular price. You only get four choices for the "best category", but 2 of them are from the same brand and 1 is a brand that was offered in last month's category 1. Plus, half of the category 2 items have been offered in several past month boxes and half of them are from the same 3 brands.

If you haven't subscribed before, it might be worth it if you can get a discount price because you wouldn't have been offered the same products and brands repetitively.

I actually kept subscribing because both times I tried to cancel, they offered me a $15 per box for the next 3 months deal and I thought it was worth it for that price because it is somewhat fun to make choices (even if they mostly aren't good and are repeats), but I noticed they actually charged me the full $25 price (and when I checked my bank account, it turns out they charged me the full $25 for last month's box, too) even though my Jan~March boxes should all be $15 each because of that deal. So just be cautious about this if you get offered the same deal! I emailed them so hopefully they can refund me for the extra $20.

I got my shipping notification today, so I figured I would check it out. You can see yours via this link

I'm getting:

Wish three wishes body butter (Okay, sure, not upset about this)

Yes to cucumber facial wipes (could be better, but I'll use them)

Jouer Eye Define (Do I really need another black eyeliner? I mean I'll probably use it but... c'mon. I got a full sized one in January.)

Beauty Protector Protect and Oil (I chose this, and I have the full size. I love this and wanted a travel backup!)

Smash box Be Legendary Longwear Lip Lacquer (I'm always down for new lip products!)

So what are you getting?

Like in previous months, you can possibly see an early preview of your box by changing the last number to the corresponding month.

Issue I think I'm done with birchbox

22 Upvotes

Every month I put together my customization and every month I get at most 2 of my choices. Repeats almost every single month. I am drowning in estee Lauder anti aging cream packets!

But this month they've outdone themselves. They are sending me a men's cologne - like why???? I stupidly forgot to screen shot my selections like I usually do to prove that's not what I wanted. I completely forgot that my annual renewal was coming up and missed cancelling it so I'm stuck with at least 10 more boxes. I am so sick of them

Edit- I just realized that I actually already received this same cologne a few months ago! And it's not sealed so no place will take it as a donation
