THE MEMEBOX
Meme boxes are all the rage according to what is going on YouTube these days. A lot of the "Beauty Guru's" are getting free boxes to show their subscribers. I have to admit, I got sucked in.
Here is what the Memebox is all about:

Okay.. Did you notice that last sentence? "we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait." And wait you will! I ordered the Memebox Global #16 box on July 7th. After a month and a half went by I thought.. where the heck is my box? My order keeps saying "Ready for Shipment". It has said that from the moment I ordered it. I decided it was worth contacting the company to ask when my box will ship out. (It did not say at the time I ordered although now they do have it on the site) Their answer was "Shipping starts on Oct 24th!" I mean seriously? It will ship out the end of October and it says that it will take anywhere from 15~25 Business Days to get to me.. So, if you think about it. I ordered a box the beginning of July and won't get it until sometime towards the end of November. They did say they were currently working on collecting the items they are going to be included in the box. I would think they would already have them since it is a themed box. I am subbed to several different subscription boxes and while I understand these are "special" and coming all the way from Korea, I think it is unacceptable to take so long to even ship the box out. Of course they didn't say this when I ordered the box. They took my payment the day I ordered it. Granted, I am excited to see what might be included in the box and I hope they are right in that they will "make sure it's worth the wait." Will I order another Memebox.. That remains to be seen. Some of the YouTuber's who are unboxing these Memebox's get them free and they never know when one will show up in their mailbox (as a few guru's I am subbed too have said). It seemed that they shipped out fairly quick because some were unboxing several Memeboxes in a short amount of time.
I just wanted to put this all out there for the unsuspecting customer that orders a box and doesn't realize that the wait is so long. I have watched tons of unboxings and it does make me want to order more but how will I know I will like the box when it takes so long to get it.
I also want to add that this is not a monthly subscription service. You only order a box if you want one. It isn't sent on a monthly basis like most other subscription boxes. So there is no having to cancel the service.
Unfortunately this may be a one time purchase for me. I will come back with a photo and update when I do finally get this box. I hope it will be worth the long weight.. So far it has been 4 months. and I have 2 more months to go before I even get the box.. I don't get how people keep posting these unboxing so fast.. Probably most are sent to them free automatically.. From what I have seen, you do get a lot of products for the money, so that is still enticing enough to maybe try another one. It is just hard to wait so long. Especially because some people want to get one before deciding if they want to buy another one.
