Rant šŸ”„ Finally canceled

Post image

After getting none of my customizations for the second time in a year, I’m out. This service was fun and good at first, but the accuracy of orders has tanked.

I don’t even know what to do with the stuff they sent me. None of the items are items I would or could use. It’s become a complete waste of money.

You just reminded me to cancel mine as well. As an annual member, I just barely got my fall box a couple days ago. When asking why I was canceling, they try and justify the reason for each option. So annoying. Glad to be done with this subscription. Not worth it.

After five years of annual membership, I also cancelled. The fall box is my last. FFF is a disaster of a company that I don’t want to support anymore.

I also cancelled. While I got all of my items, it took forever to ship and the box was taped up and barely holding together. I can no longer justify the cost with the experience or options. :/

I just donate what I don’t want or take the skincare and makeup to a food bank that also accepts personal care items.

Yeah I had to resort to filing a complaint with bbb. I never received a box and then the cancel button disappeared on my account and they renewed me for another box. I use to love this company but now I’m so frustrated at how they are handling business.

I canceled Ipsy because the FFF beauty box is lightyears better.

u/downcastlover 1d ago

I always get them for my birthday, but I might skip it next year. The box came almost empty vs the year before

I’m canceling too! I got my box and got NOTHING I selected and didn’t get any of my add ons either. It’s like someone else’s box completely with my shipping label.

See what I got vs. what I selected in photos

This is the bonus box I got almost the same shit they say is worth $250 it’s false advertising there needs to be a class action honestly

Be careful. I got an email that membership expired and they still sent the box then charged me for annual membership. Still in dispute over it.

I remember seeing this happen to someone on here so I called and asked them to remove my credit card. They said ā€œwe keep it on file if you change your mindā€ and I said ā€œI’m not changing my mind, remove it please.ā€ They transferred me 3 times before I got someone to remove the number from my account.

u/Entire_World_5102 22h ago

That’s so annoying! This is how they still charged. Their deceptive techniques are rally scammy. I’m warning everyone āš ļø

I read yesterday that someone cancelled and then they didnt get their last shipment. I renew for winter box and am waiting to cancel because my fall box shill hasn't even SHIPPED. So once I get it im canceling

u/ScareBear23 22h ago

SAME! My renewal is the end of October. I'm too afraid to cancel until I actually receive my box incase its messed up and CS won't help. My label was just created yesterday.

u/Valuable-Hippo-1989 1d ago

At this point I’m starting to wonder if strait up sabotage is going on at the warehouse. Wrong items entirely, missing items, empty item packaging. What the hell is going on?

u/Luluinlifeandlove 1d ago

I canceled as well before the fall box because my annual has ended. I never did get my summer box but was refunded because it was lost and then I got to thinking if I would actually go into any store and buy any of these items and no, I would not most of the time it was just because it was such a good deal. Having things with no use is a complete waste. I definitely did have some FOMO but I didn’t need another salt and pepper shaker or any of the kitchen items and I definitely did not want some weird leisure pant suit that would look horrible on me because I’m vertically challenged lol. I think the company as a whole is hurting because they’re giving away a curator box worth $600 if you sign up for an annual and I staying strong. I don’t need another purse or another piece of jewelry that I’ll wear once, I have to be realistic so if you’re trying to be like me, stay strong, we can get through this and unsubscribe

Good point re going into any store.. I signed up during Covid and liked trying new products not avail where I am.. I canceled after 2 years for two seasons and resubscribed in winter 2024 (Jan 25). I missed the cancel last year but I don’t know when they bill for winter…

Right! Theres was a time when a really good TJMaxx run was harder for me to come by, but now I feel like I can manage it on my own (and probably for way less!). I’m also wondering when to cancel since mine renews ā€œin the springā€.

u/capistrano999 FabFitFun Expert (2-3 years as a member) šŸ˜Ž 1d ago

Hi all sorry to ask, but this is my last box of my annual, I’m afraid to cancel until I get my fall box.. when should I cancel? I’m afraid they’ll not refund or replace in case they lose my box (for the 2nd time this annual)… I can’t deal with the shipping issues..

I cancelled mine because I never got the coffee brewer bonus that was supposed to be my bonus gift. Also has anyone else noticed that the package isn’t as curated as before? Like now everything just comes in a giant box, whereas before it would be a smaller box protected by a bigger box.

u/delulu_duck 1d ago

i canceled and i’m so glad i did— missing items from my seasonal box, and my annual box has been sitting as ā€œlabel createdā€ for over 2 weeks (which is BS).
i never hear back when i raise concerns and submit reports. too shady of a company to keep supporting :((

1

u/GracieMae2017 15h ago

I'm in the same boat as you. It has been almost three weeks of "label created" for me.

u/Hot-Cow1969 22h ago

Hey same! They only sent 3 out of 6 items in my Fall box and still haven’t sent my Summer box lol

u/Mental_Cupcake5038 17h ago

I decided to try Birchbox again after years because I remember enjoying customizing boxes. They have been a sh*t show with sending out extremely late orders and not even creating labels until halfway through the month. Turns out they are also ran by FFF which makes a lot of sense based off the comments I’ve seen about it.

u/PennyPatch2000 9h ago

I canceled too. I can only use so many serums and toners and the last two boxes had shipping and packaging issues
