Glossybox December 2012 - Page 2

SO WEIRD.  My account now shows that I just placed two gift orders -- and paid $10 for one and nothing for the other.  I only wanted one (I'm hoping for sister-in-law-appropriate goodies) plus my normal monthly box, which I thought they would use my points for.  It doesn't look like my points were used or that the payment for the monthly subscription has been run, but I still show the two different orders for gift boxes in my order history.  At least it looks like they're charging me the correct amount.  If not, there's a little something I can use called a credit card chargeback.  You have four months from the time of the incorrect charge to dispute something.  I almost used my debit card for this one, but the rules on those are different from the ones for real credit cards.  *So glad* I used my real credit card.

idk why, but I think that's just how they do it. It did it for me, too, and it did that when I signed up for my first 3 month sub. (Charged me the $60, then each time they processed a box for me, a $0 box with the month specified showed up.) The first one is just the charge and the next one is the box. 

I sent a gift box to my mom and I guess they get this kind of obnoxious email with the title "(insert name) has sent you GIFT A GLOSSYBOX FOR $15 SUBSCRIBERS ONLY!!"

Classy.

Wow.  That's not a great email for a gift, yikes.

I couldn't pass this one up either, especially when our detectives reminded us to use the code and the Ebates $2.75 back for a total of $7.25 for a Glossybox.  One item in it is bound to be worth that much.  That is an amazing deal.  Love it.  I might get another one for extras for gifts, it's so cheap!

I'm trying to talk myself down from buying multiple boxes!

Same boat.  What if it's not so great?  What if it IS great and I didn't?  Ah, first world problems.  I do think I'm going to send one to my sister in law.  I'm not going to give her email address, though, I'm just going to give her regular address and when it shows up she'll be surprised.

If I remember correctly, it wouldn't let me not put an email address. I guess you could just put your email there though?

I definitely couldn't pass up getting the december glossybox for only $10... I'll be getting 2 of them now but i'll share it with my mom. Now lets just hope they have some good stuff in the box or this is going to be a waste, and I'm going to have to remember to cancel after i receive it. 

I just bought the $10 one in addition to the $12 something one I bought last week. I'm excited to try out this services as I have been weary due to their billing debacle over the summer.

That... is totally obnoxious and tacky.  WTH, Glossybox?

At least it was your mom and not..your mom-in-law or a frienemy or something.  Geez.  If I order a gift box I'll just send it to myself and then mail it out to whoever I want to send it to.  I'd be too mortified to risk the gift recipient receiving that email.

Usually middle of the month. My November was charged on 11/15.

Make sure you're checking the right invoice; I always get two. One for the actual charge, and one when they process the box. 

The one when they process the box always lists the the full price on the subtotal, but the grand total should be $0. But yeah, it shouldn't show up on your credit card statement as full price...that's definitely wrong. Mine all came up as $10. Already sent 3 and contemplating a 4th...

Wasn't just my mom, unfortunately, also sent two boxes to two friends. :/ Luckily I don't think either of them care. GB supposedly changed the email now but I don't know what they've changed it to.

I didn't receive the email from Glossybox, but I have one sub and the R29 expired sub.  Is there anyone to access the gift box option without the email?

Yeah I didn't see this either...I also have the 3 month plan.

So.... I got a little over zealous and purchased 3 additional December boxes for my Mom, sister, and boyfriend's mom. Now I'm thinking what if it has neon green eyeliner and glitter nail polish like this month's boxes? LOL My sister would use that stuff but my 60-something Mom and BF's Mom? Not so much. I think I was just in a MakeupTalk induced state of box frenzy coupled with being the laziest Christmas shopper ever. Hopefully there will at least be a couple of Mom-ish items, ha!

Haha, nice! I have considered getting GB for my family/friends as well, but the only one of my friends who I think would enjoy it is already a subscriber haha! I hope your gift recipients get appropriate items! :)

Glossybox has posted on their Facebook a contest that pretty much says that Pleats Please perfume by Issey Miyake will be included in the next box. Excited to try it!

I'm not sure if they've sampled it yet, it seemed like something new. To do a spoiler, click on the black word bubble two spaces over to the right of the smiley face and a box will pop up and anything you type in it will come up as a spoiler.

One time gift.

looking foward to gifting the glossyboxes
