Hi Billie, Thank you so much for the review and taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback. To share a bit more information about how we are curating boxes, Alltrue prior to the past year or so, used to typically offer 2-4 customizable choice products in each seasonal box, with the remaining products being the same for all members (a get what you get option). Rather than reverting back to this to allow for plenty of variety, we brought back some member favorites in order to allow customization for all six items, as some members do love stocking up on a past favorite item! To give a bit of insight into this current season's curation, this Spring '23 season we have six choice categories, with a total of 32 possible items to receive in your box (that means there are a whooping 65 thousand possible box combinations!). While we did decide to offer past favorites in several of these product categories, largely based on feedback from the community, to provide a variety of options for every choice category. I should be sure to note that all six choice categories do have at least one brand new item, with most including 2, 3, or 4 brand new products for this season, and are very excited to be offering products in the organization category based on customer feedback. If you have any questions about this season's curation or perhaps would prefer to skip this season's box if the items are not a fit, please be sure to email our Customer Support team. Thank you again for your support and insights with this review!

Hi Kristi, We understand the events that occurred earlier this year were very unexpected and we are terribly sorry if they impacted you in any manner. To provide a bit more information, Alltrue has been assumed under new ownership, but the brand our customers love isn’t going anywhere. Though exciting, this change in ownership was not anticipated. After a financially challenging spring, Alltrue filed for a voluntary bankruptcy alternative called an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“ABC”) in April. This resulted in a complete halt in business while a 3rd party trustee assumed responsibility of the company, and was tasked with selling the assets in order to create the best possible outcome for its creditors to pay off debts owed, with the purpose of distributing the proceeds to pay off any existing debts. This past summer, Alltrue was purchased and is now in the hands of new ownership (that’s us!). It is important to note that all funds that were paid to the trustee to purchase Alltrue are being used to pay off debts owed from the previous ownership. Due to the size of the financial liabilities from the prior business, the only customers whose previous orders the new ownership were able to assume and ship were for customers who had active membership plans which were set to renew at the time of the acquisition, and whose billing information was able to be transferred. All customers who had a membership with the previous owners received an email over the summer with the specifics of their account. This email also provided information in regards to the shutdown and how to receive any funds which may have been owed to them by the previous ownership. The liabilities incurred prior to the Assignment and subsequent acquisition are being administered by the Assignee and the Buyer does not have any role in overseeing or managing the claims process to address these liabilities. If you were one of the members unable to be retained, we recommend pursuing a chargeback with your financial institution or to pursue a claim as a creditor in the ABC. If you need a copy of this email, or a link to the general assignment, please be sure to reach out to our Community Support team. We’re in awe of what Alltrue had been able to accomplish over the past 8 years, creating an incredible and engaged community, fostering meaningful partnerships with small businesses, artisan groups, and artists, and having made a tangible impact through fair wages, charitable giving, carbon offsets, and education. We’re hopeful that we’ll be able to give the mission a second chance, reviving Alltrue as a change-maker and trustworthy source of discovery and education for members and a supportive partner to those Alltrue seeks to empower.
