      I have tried to cancel my two subscriptions multiple times and they purposely make it hard. It tells you that you have to confirm in the email sent but that email never comes and I check spam and promotional folders but its not there. I now have two subscriptions because they also make it confusing about how to get the luxe subscription and you think you can upgrade the premium but you end up with a second subscription for the base that can then be upgrade to luxe. I want to cancel both, and I want a refund for the charges from 9/1/22

Please enjoy your September Base Boxy on us, no return required!Since your subscriptions are still Active and set to renew another term, weve gone ahead and canceled your memberships to prevent future subscription renewals.Additionally, since BoxyCharm Luxe is a quarterly upgrade to the BoxyCharm subscription, you must first have an active BoxyCharm subscription before being able to get Luxe.If you have an active Base subscription, log in to your account and click The Box > Luxe on the top menu bar (or visit www.boxycharm.com/boxyluxe directly). On that page, click the Join button and follow the steps until your spot is confirmed. Depending on when you join the Luxe Waitlist, your first Luxe box will either be a BoxyCharm Luxe box that replaces your Base box OR a Luxe Starter box that ships in addition to your Base box. Then, every March, June, September, and December moving forward, your Base box will automatically be upgraded to Luxe, and you'll receive one amazing Luxe box that replaces your Base box.Furthermore, it's not possible to upgrade the BoxyCharm Premium subscription to Luxe for now. On Luxe months (March, June, September, December), you must sign up to the BoxyCharm Base subscription while Luxe is still available and then **immediately** upgrade to BoxyCharm Luxe. We'll attempt to bill you within 24 hours if Luxe inventory is available. That way, you can get Premium and Luxe.**Be sure to cancel your Base AND Luxe subscriptions before each new month afterward to prevent being billed for Base.** Since Luxe is an upgrade to the Base subscription, canceling your Base subscription will automatically cancel your Luxe subscription. BUT, canceling your Luxe subscription will NOT automatically cancel your Base subscription.To learn more about Premium, check out our *********** articles here:https://bit.ly/3EgqPZ6 Thank you for giving BoxyCharm a try.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I agree that I was unable to finish the cancellation as the emails to finalize never came through and as I stated in my original complaint I did check the spam and promotional folders also. I do appreciate the fast response from Boxycharm with the appropriate resolution.

      Sincerely,

      I have tried canceling my boxycharm subscription 4 or 5 times. Each time, I get a message on their site telling me that I have to click the link in the confirmation email, but they NEVER send me the email. I have also tried emailing support just to get a reply back letting me know that there are no live support and to use the cancelation process (which fails). There is also no support number to call to talk to a person.

      I ordered boxycharm on August 1 2022 using the coupon boxy 50 for a half off price. It showed on the boxy site and it showed on PayPal but when I checked out it somehow charged me *****. I talked to boxy about this within 5 minutes. And I filed a complaint w PayPal. PayPal couldn't do anything but boxy did say they would do a one time refund but couldn't while a PayPal dispute was on going. I've emailed boxy about 10 times this week after the PayPal dispute closed to resolve this and they won't answer me. That's very unprofessional. I just want my half off. Shiena promised me a refund and I'm attaching the part of her email that says so. I tried to call them and Thier phone number is a dead end. Please help me get them to answer me.

      Boxy Charm is a monthly cosmetic subscription service that has held my money hostage by making it impossible to cancel. I followed all the obtuse steps required on their website for cancellation and they said they would send a cancellation email to me to finalize cancellation, which they never did. They have provided no other way to cancel other than to receive that email and have discontinued use of their own email address, ******************************* for assistance.

      To whom it may concern,I had a monthly subscription with BoxyCharm for years. These past few months have been a NIGHTMARE trying to get my box(es) I paid for. Its August and I havent even received ****s box and Julys box as well. Theyre given me fake tracking numbers that arent moving. Im being told by their reps that theyll let me know when the boxes are going to be shipped. Ive asked them several times whats going on, now theyre ignoring my emails. Mind you when you sign up for these boxes they say that youll get them by mid month. I see other customers complaining about not receiving their box on time that month but no customers are several months behind. Like I explained to them I paid for those boxes and Im not getting them Ive already had them ship them to ******** and other locations where I dont live they think that this is clearly some kind of joke and its not a joke because what theyre doing is stealing by NOT giving me my items. Every month youre allowed to pick two items well the past few months I havent been getting those items because of how LATE theyre! Im mind boggled by how Ive been treated and told to just wait and keep paying for my subscription that I havent received in MONTHS. Im ready to take this to the news, will be my next course of attention. I have countless emails I have one tracking number for **** or Julys box I dont know but its a fake tracking number because it hasnt moved in over half a month and one of the boxes hasnt even been shipped out yet. Then I have countless emails of me trying to get my items and Im telling me just to wait.

      Complaint: 17681098

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Ive been PROMISED my items and that hasnt happened. Ive been waiting months when I should of been refunded for the time/inconveniences this company has put me through. Then giving me false tracking numbers that have been made and not a single movement for **** & Pitney ***** (June/July boxes.) Ive been with BoxyCharm for along time. You have customers complaining about their boxes being ***** days late **VER months. I dont like being lied too and you ONLY issued a refund when I stated what your doing is STEALING. Then advised Id be contacting the BBB and having my cousin bring this to the attention to your customers in the ** area where hes works at channel 7 news. I think customers and potential customers have the right to know exactly how they could be treated I feel like this is being drug on so long at a spitefulness when Ive asked numerous times to speak to a supervisor that has never been done not once Ive been promised that I would love what I was getting and how sorry you are with a six dollar gift card if thats not a slap in the face my times worth more than six dollars when Im having to email company nonstop looking for my items that I paid for and having to get a third party involved possibly another party. Ill be happy when I get my goods and an explanation why I was given fake tracking numbers to lead me to believe FINALLY the items I picked out were coming. Then I was told that my choice items were all gone. That Id love what was picked out nothing. By the time Julys box is pack my items will be given out to customers who had issues with their original boxes. When Im still WAITING on 2 of mine. If I can please get the items Ive been promised and lied to about several times it would be appreciated. Its 6 items per a box 2 I pick out monthly. Its been over 60 days, yet others have had their items buying more off the drop shop. Thats taking priority over my boxes that would take minutes to assemble. Ive worked in factories my entire life I know how it works. I dont enjoy games if I wanted those Id play with my 6 year old. Im being extremely blunt, not lying to you.

      I have on multiple occasions attempted to cancel my subscription I've emailed them and I'm still being charged and sent boxes. I have emailed them on multiple occasions also attempted to call the customer service line **************. This has been happening for over a year. No matter how many times I attempt to cancel continue to build me and send boxes. I could provide all the multiple emails if needed as proof including the responses from their employees back. All we ask moving forward is for this to be canceled. At one point I had attempted to block the payments from coming out but they sent a few boxes still and a **** and threaten to send to collections even after we had already attempted months before to cancel.

      I tried to cancel my subscription last month with BoxyCharm through their website before August 1st so I wouldn't get charged for a new box. I fulfilled ALL the steps they ask of you in their website in order to cancel. They said they would send an email to complete my cancelation. I NEVER received it. I still got charged on August 1st. I tried Again on August 3rd 2022 four times to cancel my subscription and received no email I checked my junk/spam and all folders. I have notice they have similar complaints from other costumers raising red flags. Please look into this business.

      I am a small business owner of a *********** a makeup artist as well as an esthetician. Most of these products are horrible on the skin and carcinogenic. I have had allergies to numerous products. I have been trying to cancel in every way possible for over 6 months now. This is a horribly run company that avoids all contract or help with the customer. I would just like to be free of this subscription. I believe I should be refunded for the months of constant contact to end this subscription. I can provide proof of multiple contact attempts. Absolutely unreal.

      Hi Juliette,

      Boxy here! Hope you're doing great!

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention through your complaint on the Better Business Bureau website. We cannot begin to stress how apologetic we are for the experience you had with us. Please know that we pride ourselves on creating a wonderful Charmer experience, and we would like to extend our sincerest apologies to you for the impression you have been left with.

      We're so sorry to hear that you experienced an allergic reaction to some of our products! We do our best to test our products on different skin types before we decide to feature products to reduce the chances of something like this happening. However, at this time, we're unable to customize our boxes to accommodate specific allergies. Since everyone's skin is so unique, we suggest that all Charmers review ingredients and patch tests before trying new products.

      Although we're not currently able to customize based on allergies, we'd love to do something for you in light of this experience. As a one-time exception, weve issued you a refund of $30.44 USD (worth one box), and the funds should be returned within about **** days depending on your bank. A refund confirmation email should be in your inbox momentarily.

      Also, we have searched our database, but were unable to locate a previous email from you about the allergic reactions you experienced with us. We do our best to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours.

      In the future, if you do not hear from us, please check your Spam/Junk folders, just in case, and submit another inquiry by visiting our *********** as it is possible we have not received your email, and we want to be sure your inquiries are responded to in a timely manner.

      Lastly, we can confirm that your subscription has been canceled per your request. You will no longer be billed for future orders as of todays date, unless you rejoin.

      We hope this information was helpful and are glad you reached out! Thank you so much for giving BoxyCharm a try. We hope to see you again one day!

      I have a month to month subscription for a basic box. I upgraded to premium (which now i regret) and I want to cancel the basic box. I have tried endlessly with no success. They say you have to finalize via an email they send. The emails all say the link expired. Even when I click within seconds of receipt. I tried chatting with them on ******** via a post and they say send a direct message i try and it's like they blocked me from being able to send message. It says something went wrong with each attempt. I believe their practice of not allowing consumers to terminate is intentional and illegal. I would like to terminate my basic monthly membership. I am stuck with the premium membership as I prepaid 6 months. I have no choice with that subscription. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of their unethical business practices.

      Hi *****,

      Thank you for contacting BoxyCharm. Thank you for bringing this to our attention through your complaint on the Better Business Bureau website. We're so sorry to hear that this happened. That isnt the experience we strive to offer, and were here to help.

      To prevent accidental or unauthorized cancellations, we require that members confirm the cancellation of their subscriptions by clicking the link in an email that is sent as a final step of the cancellation process. The link currently expires after 48 hours but you can request a new link by going through the cancellation process again if needed. Subscriptions must be fully canceled before the 1st of the month, 12 a.m. ET, to avoid being billed for that months box.

      To save you from the hassle, we went ahead and cancelled your Base subscription per your request. You will no longer be billed for your Base subscription as of todays date, unless you rejoin. In reviewing your account, we can see that your last Base box will be the July Base box.

      Your Premium subscription is still active, and you'll continue receiving your Premium boxes.

      Also, we're so sorry that we weren't able to follow up with the concern you sent to us via ********* In the future, we highly recommend sending us a DM with your email address in order to take a closer look and make things right for you. This is also to prevent posting personal information publicly (e.g., Email address and shipping address). We value your privacy and security and make sure that we make things right for you.

      We really appreciate your patience. Please reach out if you have any additional questions and well be there.
