Hi Patricia! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are so sorry to hear of any disappointment in the products received. With a diverse community in mind (a beautiful mix of all ages, shapes, shades, lifestyles, and personal tastes), our Product Team spends countless hours carefully partnering with brands whom we can stand behind as they share our same ethical and sustainable standards. They do their very best to curate a seasonal box filled with lifestyle, skincare, home, and wearable products that appeal to the diversity of our community — delivering our members $250+ of exclusive, socially-conscious products. We take the guesswork out of finding these sustainable gems, discovering brands that are using business as a force for good. And yes! We do bring back past seasonal products :) Back by popular demand, these ‘Alltrue All-Stars’ are our community's favorites, selling out season after season. We decided to offer past favorites, largely based on feedback from the community, to provide a variety of options for every choice category. I should note, however, that we made sure every choice category included new item(s). To share a bit more information about how we are curating boxes, Alltrue 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 this and to instead 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! While Annual members always have the ability to customize each choice category, as a Seasonal Member our team works hard to try and ensure your box includes only new items, carefully reviewing your account box history before fulfilling your box. Of course, if there is ever a mistake and a repeat item is received that you do not need again, we encourage our members to reach out to our support team ([email protected]) as we will always be happy to make it right. It truly saddens us to hear you express quality issues. If there is ever an issue or damage to an item received in your seasonal box, please always feel free to contact our Community Support Team so that we can assist you! Additionally, one of the best avenues we have to know what you, the member, wants to see included in your box is through our Product Surveys. That means you can expect to receive an emailed product survey each season, asking you to rate certain items, or share what products you would like to see more of. If interested in participating, please email our support team to add you to the Product Survey list. This invaluable feedback helps us curate future boxes we hope our entire community will love. We hope our commitment to transparency and constant improvement is clear, and we would love to have your continued support!

Hi Jessy, 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.

Hi Leanne, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, and we are so sorry to hear of any disappointment surrounding the spring season! We do our best to set clear expectations surrounding our shipping timelines, as they can vary from season to season. To do so, we provide the seasonal shipping timeline at checkout for any new members joining, provide a seasonal shipping timeline which is accessible throughout our website, include our timeline in our FAQ section and post Live Warehouse Updates throughout the season which are always directly available in all member accounts. As noted in our shipping timeline updates, all renewing-members were shipped their Spring Boxes by mid-May :) Looking at your account, I can see your box was shipped within the promised timeframe! We hope you are enjoying all of your customized spring box goodies! And yes! We do bring back past seasonal products :) Back by popular demand, these ‘Alltrue All-Stars’ are our community's favorites, selling out season after season.

Please note that every subscription can be canceled. Per our Cancellation Policy, Seasonal and Annual Members may cancel their membership(s) at any time before their next renewal date to prevent the subscription from renewing. There is no cancellation fee. We make sure to send renewal reminders prior to membership renewals. If you think there was an issue with receiving your reminder, please contact our support team so we can ensure your account is properly subscribed to our email list! I do appreciate you bringing these display issues to our attention, and I can confirm our Engineering Team is working to have these updated :) If there is anything else we can assist you with regarding your membership or orders, please reach out to our support team as we are eager to help!

Hi Ann, Spring Boxes are actively shipping, and will continue to ship until mid-May. However, all Winter '23 Boxes finished shipping in February. If you did not receive your Winter ’23 Box for any reason, please be sure to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We will be happy to look into this further and make sure we get this sorted for you! :)

Hi Linda! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for being an important member of our community since 2018!! This Spring '23 season we have six choice categories, with a total of 32 different items being offered, making up a whopping 65 thousand possible box combination options — the most we've ever had! We are trying to offer as much choice as possible, and in doing so, we have also decided 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 many more. To provide a bit more information about how we are curating boxes, Alltrue (formerly CAUSEBOX) 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 during these shorter curation seasons since the acquisition, to allow for plenty of variety, we brought back some member favorites in order to allow customization for all six items, in case a member preferred to stock up on a past favorite item rather than simply be provided the new option. Additionally, this allows new members to self-select an item that was a past favorite item in a box. That being said, now that we are having more and more lead time to curate the boxes (please note prior to the shutdown curations were planned 6+ months ahead of time) the plan is to continue to include plenty of new options in future boxes in each category (the ratio will continue to look different), while most likely continuing to include just a few past favorites each season as choice items based on feedback that some members love to choose these, while new members never had the option. I hope this helps to provide a bit of insight, and please know we always make sure to pass along all feedback and suggestions. With gratitude, Alltrue

Hi Alicia! We apologize for any disappointment! Each season our Product Team does their very best at predicting what products will be the most popular with our membership. Normally, they are spot on — but, from time to time, products rise to the spotlight as elected by our passionate community. As part of our commitment to limiting product waste, we do have limited inventory of the curated products in our seasonal boxes. As the Spring Box features several wonderful choice products this season, we hope you'll be able to find another item you love in this same choice category. Of course, if there is ever a box that is simply not to your liking, we are happy to assist with the request to pause your membership to skip the Spring Box and have your membership extended one season. While we typically have plenty of inventory to cover all of our Annual Member's first selections, just to be safe, we suggest logging in and customizing your boxes as soon as you receive your customization reminders in future seasons. Lastly, we would love to assist specifically with any inventory issue for a choice item in your most recent seasonal box. Our team has sent you an email, please feel free to reply back to it directly or send our team a email at [email protected]. We look forward to getting this sorted for you!
