Let's start with the lack of communication on shipping, terrible. Finally received my box and it was a joke, the products were not worth the price. No return or exchange policy is a big ol "gotcha ya sucker". Guess I'll go back to ipsy- at least you get a cute bag if the products are not up to par.

I have been a Birchbox customer for many YEARS...over a decade! I have moved, changed addresses, had babies, and stuck with you throughout your issues. Today, I received another box with 3 items that I received at LEAST 5 times each. At this point, you are hopeless. No one cares what I put on my preferences, and No one is keeping track of what has been sent to your customers. Pathetic. I don't want any more of the same crap. I'm here to discover NEW beauty products...shame on you for telling us that you promote new products when I have been getting the same JUARA crap every month for years. Birchbox gives you maybe one new item and then the other 4 are filler that they have too many samples of. They save money and pretend like you are getting such fun new products. It's a scam now! Do not buy anything from Birchbox. Save your money and get Sephora samples on a regular purchase.

We’re so sorry to hear that your recent Beauty Box arrived with missing items. Based on your review, it appears there was a fulfillment error with your Monthly Beauty Box. We can confirm each monthly Beauty Box still includes at least 5 items, and while each box is carefully packed, occasional warehouse errors can unfortunately occur. Please know this is quite rare, and we sincerely apologize that your box did not arrive as it should have. We take great pride in our fulfillment process and in delivering a great experience to our members. A member of our team has already reached out to you directly so we can quickly make this right. If you ever experience an issue in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly as we’re always happy to help. You can contact our support team anytime at [email protected], and we typically respond within just a few hours. We also offer a comprehensive Support Center at help.birchbox.com, including live chat (you’ll always be connected to a real person!) available Monday–Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM PST. Thank you for all of your incredible support through the years, and we look forward to making things right for you.

where do i even start. im still chasing items from october and the last 3 boxes i had to chase to get them in the first place. boxes always sent well into the next month when they should have arrived earlier. items received that you received last month already. support telling you they will send replacements which never arrive. support are supposed to respond within 24 hours but its been 4 days. whole subscription was an absolute shambles.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, although we’re truly sorry to hear you encountered any issues or delays. We completely understand how frustrating that can be. I’m really glad to see you were able to connect with our support team to help get things resolved. While replacement orders can sometimes be delayed during active box fulfillment periods, we recognize that your delay wasn’t typical of the experience we aim to provide. I can confirm that our Head of Fulfillment followed up directly with our fulfillment center to address the issue. As a token of our apology, I’m happy to see our team provided your entire recent Market order free of charge. We hope you loved the items included and that it brought a bit of brightness to your experience. We’re so grateful you gave us the chance to make things right, and we truly value your feedback.

Horrendous. Restarted my subscription from a few years ago and well, I wished I hadn't bothered. First box, item missing. Customer service wanted proof via photo which tbh felt like a snub already but I did this. Promised delivery of item and two months later no item has ever arrived, even after several chases. Constantly told it will be dispatched shortly. Second box, payment taken beginning of July, only dispatched after many chases on 1st August! Some July box! What a joke. This has turned up today, again with an item missing. This means the company is always a payment in hand for a box not yet issued and is not delivering all items as promised. My subscription is over. All customer service do it repeat how your items are due to be despatched whilst speaking to you in a provocative fashion. I am not reaching out I am telling you I am unhappy and you have made a mistake so try apologising and fixing the error. If you can't give me a refund.

I have a monthly subscription to Birchbox. Evri have been waiting on my last box for over a week. I contacted Birchbox to explain there has been no movement/update. I felt Birchbox response was dismissive advising there should be an update soon. The customer service is non existent, there is no empathy or willingness to rectify issues. As a direct result I have now cancelled my subscription.

The monthly boxes are a true waste of money. There is a short window to “pick” your favorite items, every time I’ve tried, most of the better looking items were sold out so they make your box with the leftover junk. Most items are sample size items which are tiny and worthless and you could get for free. I absolutely regret signing up for the 3 month subscription- complete complete waste of money!! I didn’t get even one item that was worth anything- again, most are no-name brands and sample sizes that are useless type junk, that I just put in the garbage. Also, once you sign up, you cannot cancel with a refund- which is also complete BS.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent Beauty Boxes didn’t meet your expectations. We couldn’t find a conversation with our team regarding your concerns, but we did reach out to you via email last week to see how we can help turn things around. We’d love to hear from you if you get a chance. Just to clarify, each Beauty Box includes a mix of sample-sized, travel-sized, and even full-sized products. Our goal is to make it easy for you to try out new makeup trends, discover exciting brands, and find your next favorite product. Often times just one item in the box exceeds the value of the entire box! We also offer customization so you can select products and sizes based on your preferences. For renewing members, customization is available from the 1st to the 5th of each month, providing five full days to customize, with email reminders sent to make sure you don’t miss it. While we do not see any cancellation or refund request from you, as you did purchase your subscription with a gift card, the gift card itself would not be refundable, but again, we would love to see what we can do to best assist!
