Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 109 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers truly love discovering exciting new beauty samples each month and find the smooth website navigation along with simple customization choices very helpful for their daily routine. People deeply appreciate the exceptionally wide variety of quality products offered and the clear guidance provided on how to properly use them. However, some customers also noted frustrating shipping delays in receiving their monthly boxes alongside very slow customer support responses. Additionally, multiple reviewers mentioned repeatedly receiving the exact same items or old samples that completely failed to meet their personal expectations and overall satisfaction.

I liked the old Birchbox better. I liked that I could go online and buy the larger container of products that were in the box. I've tried to purchase numerous items and you don't have them. I still... See more

less value, more money

not sure there is a real value any longer. I started with Birchbox when the boxes were 10.00 a month- today they are 20.00 or more. Finding samples that are dried out and unusable ( mascara, liquid eyeshadow), or perfume samples missing the perfume ( sm. spray sample)- receiving products already sent perhaps a year or two ago such as jade face roller, dry skin brush- i have been considering cancelling my membership on more than one occasion.

I get a lot of repeat items

I get a lot of repeat items, and some of the items I won’t use ( not very good). I get Ipsy bocces and allure boxes for about the same price and they have great products and they don’t repeat items.

Reply from Birchbox

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, although we're sorry you haven't been absolutely thrilled with all of your boxes.

While we do occasionally bring back member favorites so longtime customers can restock products they love, and newer members can discover popular past selections, we of course want to make sure we are introducing fresh and exciting products each month, as helping our customers discover new favorites is at the heart of the Birchbox experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and will be sure to share your thoughts with our product team.

Additionally, if you aren't already, we highly recommend customizing each box so you can self-select the exact items you would like to receive in your box for that month.

Lastly, we’ve recently started sending monthly product surveys to gather input on the brands and products our customers would most like to see in future boxes. If you’d like to participate, we’d absolutely love to hear your suggestions!

Thanks again for being part of the Birchbox Community, and for sharing your thoughts with us. We truly appreciate you!

Treat yourself

I like that Birchbox provides a wide selection based on my preferences. Many of the products I can select are top quality. Th customization email allows me to choose what I want but if I forget or can't that month I know I will still get great items. I also like that I can purchase a larger version. I feel the description provided with each item is very helpful and I like that I can 'like' my favorites. The website is easy to navigate too. I still get excited to get my box each month even after many years.

I'm not very in the know for makeup or skin care. With birchbox it tells you how to use the product and what it does and where to get it. It really is great especially with being able to try something without wasting a whole item if you don't like it.

Consistently awesome!

I've been with Birchbox for years and love meeting new products! Hiccups are rare and when they occur customer service has always replied quickly and solved my problem. Cutting edge new on the market products in every box.

Sending the same things too often

Sending the same things too often. I tried to get on this week to change my profile and could not find the area to put what I like such as more nail polish, maybe perfume, etc. And really the samples seem to have gotten smaller through the years even though the price has gone up. I had originally marked that I like skin care, but it is none stop every month.

Love Birchbox so much

Love Birchbox so much. I have been loyal since day 1. However I want to be able to shop from the monthly deals you roll out but every time it says can’t ship to Texas at checkout. Please fix this. You’re missing out on selling your products monthly with this restriction. Thank you 😊

Customer service has always been great

Customer service has always been great! Every time I have had an issue, big or small, Birchbox's customer service has been great. I am pleased with the entire process and they make it easy to contact them. I have been with Birchbox, off and on for many years and I have never had an issue.
