My issues started early November when I initially opened the account with **********************. I have still never received that order from November 3rd. It never progressed past shipping. They made me wait 15 days before issuing a new order which has also never progressed past shipping. Included with that is also an add-on order which I've never received and has never progressed past initial shipping. They are refusing to refund my money. $50 that I am just at a loss for because they refuse to help. They just want to keep sending these replacements that I never get. Awful experience and reading other reviews I'm seeing that it's not just me.Business Response

Hi *****,
Thanks for reaching out about your November Glam Bag and order #o_rjohwh-i-m3upiq9h on the Better Business Bureau website.
We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it has caused. We understand how upsetting it must be to have placed your order on November 3rd and still not received it, along with the replacements and add-on items. Waiting and not getting a resolution, especially after multiple attempts, is understandably disappointing and unacceptable.
Your trust is important to us, and we regret that weve let you down. While it seems replacements were offered, its clear this hasnt resolved the issue. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and for not meeting your expectations.
Good news! Your replacement order for the November Glam Bag was shipped on November 26th, and the estimated delivery date is December 12th.
Heres your tracking link for your replacement order: ******************************************************************************************************
Additionally, your order #o_rjohwh-i-m3upiq9h was shipped on November 25th, and the estimated delivery date is December 11th.
Heres the tracking link for your order #o_rjohwh-i-m3upiq9h: ******************************************************************************************************
Tracking tips:
1. If your tracking info hasnt been updated for a few days, just hang tight. Once your package arrives at your local post office, tracking may not update until it leaves for delivery.
2. Even if your tracking status is "delivered," it may take up to 24 hours for your order to actually arrive at your door.
3.The delivery date is an estimate based on when your package arrives at your local post office, so if you haven't received your order by the estimated date, it may just need a few extra days to arrive.
We want to let you know that IPSY and our shipping partners are committed to delivering your orders within 15 business days, excluding weekends and holidays, from the original shipment date. Each month, there are a lot of different factors that affect the shipping process of your order.

Hi *******!

At the moment, we're primarily equipped to provide support through our automated chat bot (the Glam Bot), email and social media channels as we believe this allows us to offer the best customer care experience possible.

From there, youll click "Account" and select "View membership" under the membership you would like to update. Then, scroll down and click "Cancel Membership."
Dont worry; heres what I can do for you to make this right??
Ive offered you a full refund ($17.43) for your December Glam Bag. Please enjoy your last shipment on us. You should see the funds returned to your original payment method within 5-7 business days.

Hello I just had one question before I accepted the offer from offer from Ipsy. I found their resolution to be great because At least I would be getting some of my items in the mail.And the rest would be Refunded whereas I was told at first Before I contacted you guys that I would not be getting any of those things even though I paid for them and they were not included in my order at no fault of my own. So I am very glad that you were able to mediate to where I am getting what I paid for but my concern before I accept is that they included in the message a caveat that said, this was a one time exception and mentioned that if this ever happened again they wouldn't do this again per some new policy. I just wanted to clarify with them. That if I accept that if God forbid in the futurei plan on being with ipsy for years, so if at any pointthe warehouse makes a mistake, are they saying that they will not refund or replace that mistake? Because that is bringing us back to square one , which that is theft. Of course , I hope I don't have another issue but ipsy has thousands of disgruntled people on Instagram and ******** having missing orders, broken items and missing items. It's not just me. So I just wanted to Said this was a one time exception And that if in the future at some point ipsy makes A mistake that they will replace or refund. Also I wanted to.Verify with them that the accommodation order that they placed includes the following:1. TARTE Tartelette Juicy ***************************************** style="font-size: *****rem;">2. *******************************;Bijoux Brilliance Eye Shadow Palette
3. Briogeo Scalp Revival ******** Pre-Wash and
4.AMIKA Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Leave-in Conditioner
Also I wanted to thank them for Being so courteous through this entire situation and taking care of it. I was wondering if they understood the gravity of how bad it felt to have the insinuation from that message. Be that because the warehouse had messed up one too many times That they would refund it because they felt it was too many times so that only left the option of blame on to me which as a cuit made me really upset and hurt it's especially hurtful after being a loyal member since 2019 and didn't have my first issue for several years so to be treated this way makes me feel like I'm not valued and that they were calling me either a their or a liar by way of leaving the only conclusion being that it's my fault and I hope they consider the impact of doing that to an honest customer.
If they can just answer those few questions then I am ready to accept and I appreciate thewilling to work with me.
Best, Kaytlin
e me instead and it's theft and insulting beyond belief after 6 years of loyalty and thousands of dollars of orders I've placed with them. I just want them to make this right because it's not my fault that they have warehouse workers who mess up. Customers are constantly complaining about these errors yet ipsy says it happens less than 1% of the time which cannot be possible. Please help, I'm offended and I've been refused items I paid for. I would like my items and a removal of this character assassination from my account because they are insinuating it's my fault.Customer Answer

We can only imagine the disappointment that this situation has caused, and we owe you an apology for letting you down!
Please know that it is always our intention to get your order out to you successfully and as quickly as possible, but once we hand your package over to our shipping partners, the route your package will take is chosen by them.

Complaint: 22554942
I am rejecting this response because:
That many months worth is more than $12 and change. You didnt explain to me why I was still getting shipments (I thought I was month to month) or all me what my preferred solution was. Additionally, all of my subscriptions were year to year and my other subscriptions, including my glam bag, were stopped immediately. Then I get notice from the bank that Im still paying for the beauty boost-not clearly explained anywhere that this is separate and must be cancelled separate. My glam bags and icon boxes didnt finish out the year, but youre claiming boxy Charm does? And that its only worth $12 for 4 whole months? More people need to know that you only ship $3/wk per product with boxy charm. Scam, one way or the other.The first communication made it extremely obvious that the agent did not thoroughly read my email, nor look up my account before responding. Enter contacting them again, further action was taken with no explanation and/or option given. They plainly asked me to resolve this complaint. I decline.
I dont recommend doing business with Ipsy unless its short-term. Bad policies and practices, bad customer service, hidden subscriptions and fees, and the same brands and many times the same products on repeat, and the icon box is usually a controversial or d-list celeb trying to make a PR move.

Hi *******,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention through your complaint on the Better Business Bureau website and for giving us this opportunity to assist you.
Weve done some research, and heres what we found out.
On March 29, 2024, we received your payment of $327.04 for your BoxyCharm annual renewal. Prior to your BoxyCharm cancellation on August 29, 5 months' worth of BoxyCharm orders were shipped to your current address. In addition to that, your Beauty Boost subscription was canceled on September 4, and your last Beauty Boost shipment was in September.
*******, as a friendly reminder, when an annual membership is canceled, you will receive the remainder of the 12 orders you purchased, but your membership will not renew. After your cancellation date, you have 8 remaining credits, or 8 months' worth of orders. This explains why you continued to receive BoxyCharm boxes in September, October, and November.
As of November 14th, you still have 5 months' worth of BoxyCharm orders.
Don't worry, *******!
We can confirm that one from our IPSY Care issued you $136.29 refund today (November 14th), and on top of the initial refund, we've issued $12.36 refund to cover the remaining 5 months' worth of unshipped orders. You should see these funds separately back in your account within 5-7 business days.
Just a heads up! The second refund we've issued will reflect on your bank statement separate from the refund that was previously done on your account.
If you need anything else, please reach out at any time and well be there.

I received a promotional mailer from IPSY advertising a free gift worth $50 plus $10 off the IPSY store with a promo code. The only term mentioned on the card was account reactivation (while supplies last). When I attempted to reactive my account, I could not apply the promo code provided on the mailer. I contacted IPSY customer service. Their initial response was that the promotion only applied for making your first purchase at the IPSY store. This condition is not listed on the mailer. I replied with photos of the mailer and expressed concern over the promotion being a bait-and-switch. The next email reply from IPSY stated I could not have the promo deal because I had not reactivated my account and therefore didnt qualify. However, I did not reactivate my account because I could not enter the promo code and I was told the promo did not apply. I asked for help reactivating my account with the promised promotion. IPSY replied 2 days later letting me know that the limited time offer had now expired. This promotion was a bait and switch.Business Response

Hi ****,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention through your complaint on the Better Business Bureau website and for giving us this opportunity to assist you.
First, we sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We've received an unexpectedly large volume of DMs lately, and we truly appreciate your patience as we work to respond to everyone. Thank you for understanding.
We understand how you feel about the information stated in the promo card you received, ****, and we apologize if you felt that the marketing was manipulative and misleading. We'll ask our marketing team to review it to make sure there's no further confusion.
We'd be happy to explain a bit, ****.
Free $50 Gift: This is exclusive for our monthly subscriptions. Once you reactivate your account, the specific promotion is still ongoing, all qualified previous members should be able to get the said gift.
$10 off the IPSY Shop: The "Halloween10" code ($10 off) can only be used towards an order placed from IPSY Shop. ****, Glam Bag subscription and IPSY Shop orders are different ones, which is why this specific code cannot be applied towards a subscription order. In IPSY Shop, you can place any items of your choosing from all the products featured for the month, unlike your Glam Bag subscription where products you receive were matched based on your Beauty Quiz. In addition to that, the IPSY Shop is available 24/7 and always between 30%80% off retail prices. Shop all the bundles, sales, offers, and perks in one place.
Dont worry; since the above-mentioned promotion was over, heres what we can do for you to make this right, ****!
1. We can manually reactivate your Glam Bag subscription (per your initial request to **** *.), and we'll send out the free $50 worth gift.
2. We can manually add a new $10 code to your account, which you can use towards an order in the IPSY Shop.
Please let us know this works for you, ****. That way, I can give you the best possible help!
Thanks so much, and we're looking forward to helping you out!

Hi *****,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention through your complaint on the Better Business Bureau.
We completely understand your disappointment since you were having some trouble with customizing your BoxyCharm this month. That is not the experience we intended, and We're sorry that this happened. We want to assure you that we're committed to doing the best we can to fix any issues on our end.
We wish we could reopen the Build Your Box feature for you; however, we were unable to do so due to system design. We understand that you're looking forward to customize your box this month, and the last thing we'd ever want for you is to feel dissatisfied with the experience you had with IPSY.
Dont worry; heres what we can do for you to make this right!
Weve added a $25 coupon to your account. Your coupon code is CSMGM363O1X2 and it's valid for one transaction in our IPSY Shop through December 6th, excluding Add-Ons.
We know that the $25 coupon wont fully fix things, and we truly believe that reopening the feature to allow you customize your box would be the best way to make it right. We really hope this helps ease your worries and makes your experience better. Above all, We hope it brings you some happiness!
Here's how it works: If you select 3 items and their total is $25, you can use the coupon to get all 3 items for free. However, if you select items totaling more than $25, the coupon will cover up to $25, and you would need to pay the remaining amount.
Please know that we care for you, and we want everything to be addressed, please feel free to reply to reached out to us. The most effective ways to reach us at the moment are through email on our help site at *****************************, ******** Messenger by visiting this link: *****************************, or ******* DM @IPSYCare.
We're dedicated to responding to our members within 24 hours. Your patience is truly valued.
Have a wonderful rest of your day!???

I was contacted by two different **** from Ipsy and they truly went out of their way to make me feel heard and went above and beyond to try to make my experience moving forward a lot better! Because of this, I am going to continue my subscription with them and I would like to close this claim. I attached copies of both emails from the representatives for your information. If they contacted me because of your help, then I owe you a big thank you as well!d lines without addressing any of my concerns.I was informed that I would receive a refund of the $67.10 charged for my subscription, which I appreciate, but I am still waiting for the refund of $34.63 for the first box I never received. They said I have to track down my own refund with my bank, which means phone calls, hours wasted, and just time I do not have when Ipsy could easily send my refund right away, especially when I never received what I paid for. The lack of clear communication, the unexpected charges, and the overall unsatisfactory customer service have left me feeling disappointed and frustrated with a company I once trusted.Initial Complaint

I order 2 packages every month. It comes directly off my credit card. I moved back to ** in September 2024. I haven't received anything at all since August 2024. I filled out a change of address card before I left and still waiting for all of my packages or a total refund. I've always liked my packages and even referred my friends. But I can't find a contact number for them. I tried to file a complaint with them but I haven't heard anything from them yet. You can text my phone number ************.Business Response

We looked through our records, and it looks like we havent received any cancellation attempts, request or messages from the email you provided to BBB pertaining to your cancellation. If you responded to a marketing email, that inbox isnt monitored and you may not have received a response. Its also possible there may have been a glitch in our email portal or website when you wrote in. We're sorry for any trouble this may have caused.
Don't worry, ****!
We've cancelled your subscription so that you won't receive any future orders. we've also issued you a refund for your recent order, and you should see the funds back in your account within 5-7 business days. Please know that feel free to keep this month's order on us!
If you need anything else, please reach out at any time and well be there.
