“Pretty decent”

Laura S.
10/17/18

I love subscription boxes and have had several from various companies. The fall of 2018 was a nice box. However, I wish the scents and colors of the products were customizable. I did not care for the scent of my candle. The color of the lipstick does not work for me, wish the accessory organizer came In other colors. They do have bonus items that really increase the value. My box was worth about 350. I spent 75. Not bad at all

“No refunds, not quarterly”

Constance L.
2/24/20

I bought an annual subscription. They don't ship quarterly at all. Bought 8/29. First shipment 11/11. Inquired 2/24 where next one was and they said it should ship in a few more weeks. A quarterly shipment should have been sent by 2/11. They said I can't get any refund for the subscription despite their lack of fulfillment so I'll dispute with my credit card company.

Don't be fooled - this company does not give a $#*! about domestic abuse and I have the experience to prove it.

Everyone should be aware that Popsugar is okay with featuring an article that has an abusive couple in it and why you should reconsider patroning this app, and moreover, the Popsugar collective.

In one of their articles, they praise a notorious abuser and her relationship as "everything" and "a fairytale" when this claim couldn't be further from the truth. I know the truth because, unfortunately, for the last two years I've gotten to bear witness for the victim in this relationship - my sister, Hannah.

The regrettable relationship that Popsugar praises is an extremely abusive one that features screaming, name-calling, (suicide and violence) threats, intimidation, and commands for extreme isolation and control of the victim from friends and family. This relationship is incredibly volatile, toxic, and abusive.

What's even more disgusting is that I originally let Popsugar know this over a year ago, in addition to providing them with screenshoted evidence of the abuse, and they have failed to follow up with me or look more into it. I know there's been a pandemic going on, but abuse is a serious issue and Popsugar has treated it as anything but. It's obvious now at this point I'm not even going to get a response, just super disappointing.

Dealing with my sister in an abusive relationship has been hard enough for my family, and Popsugars dismissive and insensitive response in which they are siding with my sister's abuser is demoralizing at best.

I tell everyone I know about Popsugar, their unacceptable journalism and conduct. You can rest assured the articles you are reading do not reflect the actual situation at hand.

Tip for consumers:
Respect yourself and avoid this company

I would like to know what gives you the right to publish an article that says be aware of W. I. C items while we are in the pandemic.! ARE YOU FU#KING SERIOUS, U want people to understand the. People who get paid by the government to live in low income apartments because they ate to lazt or had to many kids that they cant work, but you are forgetting the people who do work for a living that the W. I. C. People are buying our before they get there like the senior citizens the mentally I'll, and u go and put sympathy letters out there for the W. I. C users, that's what they all do is use the entire public and u decide that's what ur worried about, hrow the fu k up. Uou make me sick. I hope u get Coronavirus and the W. I. C people are in front of in line with everything u cant get. Stupid people no brains u should fire that $#*! that wrote article I'll never look at anything from popsugar again, not that it was ever worth anyway.

This is such a fun site for celebrity tidbits and articles. Stuff you don't see in mags and other sites. There is also fun recipes and fitness topics. It's got everything really.

Popsugar is a media company that thrives only because of paid advertorials. You people do realize their "must have" products from their old box and talked about in their blog are there because brands paid to have them there, right? Apparently not.

Popsugar was originally created by Lisa Sugar, a celeb gossip hobbyist and Brian Sugar, Lisa's hubby. It began with a fun idea that has spiraled downward into the debacle it is today. It's as though since Group Nine Media bought it, it's gone to hell. It's really, really bad.

Originally they had a decent concept. There was a box, there were interesting articles. Now it seems they're all over the place; it's become a train wreck, the box and their mini box have ended, their old "text to buy" whatever their "must have" item was didn't work (my and my friends' texting for "yes" never went through.) They have struggling beauty brands and the website is filled with articles that are an unreadable mess. If a teenager can hack Twitterthen a media company should be able to create a useable website.

That shopping option never worked and the items were EXCRUCIATINGLY overpriced for unknown brands.

They seem to focus ONLY on new and unknown brands that paid to place absurdly high prices on their wares. Bad idea.

Next, whoever is writing those articles... all I can say is there's apparently no cure for stupid. "Be careful not to buy WIC items during the pandemic?" Are you SERIOUS? You DO realize the "approved WIC brands" (if all bought out due to a pandemic) would be replaced by available brands, right? Clearly this wasn't researched. Then we have articles entitled such as "Check out these 4 interesting..." which, for example, will only have 2 listed. The writing is just bad.

There are so many pop ups and linked articles in each post that it makes it IMPOSSIBLE TO READ so I end up closing the site because I just can't get to the meat of an article for the badly placed SEO, links within text and those gawdawful popups. It makes me not want to buy whatever product is listed just in principal. Terrible, obvious advertorials.

The "shop" section looks like old reposts of said "advertorials" and it makes the reader's brain hurt.

I won't even go into the racism. It's unbelievable.

Demographics are all over the place. Articles from Popsugar used to come up in the first page of Google whenever I looked anything up. Now? I actually have to look Popsugar up in and of itself to see if they've written anything on the subject or product I'm researching.

Popsugar used to be at least somewhat trustworthy. I have no idea what's happened but it's absolutely a nightmare. I'm pretty sure Group Nine Media bought it just to crush it out. That's the only reason I can come up with as to explain what's happened to that site.

I have not received one item that I wanted or even found interesting! Every time I would call and say how disappointed I was with each box they would reassure me on how GREAT the next box was going to be. It never was and actually has gotten worse as the year has gone along. I really wish I had not wasted my money on this box!

I was just trying to see the latest trends from the catwalk and every second slide pops up some annoying ad that I actually had just seen two slides ago anyway. Why I now just have contempt for that brand and this website. Don't treat your customers like mindless idiots.

I really like PopSugar and usually have a lot of fun reading their gossip and fashion articles. A few too many ads or I would have given it 5 stars, but overall fun site.

Waste of time. So terrible that I am sacrificing more of my time to hopefully spare people from the terrible onslaught against intelligence that this site promotes.

I tried the for the first time this month. They charged my credit card on 12/1/2018 and I received an e-mail stating the box had shipped on 12/6/2018. I tracked the box and after 12/11/2018 it didn't move. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find there phone number, and when I did find I had to leave a message which was never returned. I then emailed them and they have failed to return that as well so now I have been charged for a box I never received!

Boxes are a cute gift, hit or miss some months. However, heaven help you if you need to get a hold of customer service! They have no phone line (how convenient) and you have to email back and forth with your issue hardly being resolved. Not using it or recommending it again.

To be a huge company supposedly one of the" leaders in the market" they have a loooooong way to go before claiming that. The Customer Service lack of professionalism. If they have people ordering month to month they should have a good phone call system. Usually I know subscription boxes get in touch late through e-mails. But I also know that good big companies have a phone line and the wait time should not be more than 20 minutes. Other agents or companies recognize when it was their fault any misunderstanding and they have gave me a box or next month for free to repair the damage caused in my credit card. This Company instead of do something more than reimbursed the money in about 20 days ASK ME to ship all 4 July boxes, that were registered by mistake on their website when I tried to get a coupon code. The website was overload of requests and it charged me 4 times instead of 1. Even They new that. It has to be a burden for me to go to a FedEx location and Drop off all the boxes

I am going to make the Cinnamon Rolls and if they turn out will give a 5. I gave it a 4 because the picture looks great the instructions seen easy. Could be added to my holiday brunch menu. Always looking for good and easy and this appears to fit the bill.

Nice site to visit for fashion information. Pop can also send stories and points of interest for fashionista's the follow the trends. Moreover, it has all the celebrity scoop you may want... it is very cute!

This site is okay, but there are way too many ads. Whenever i try to read something i have to constantly click the next button and i keep accidentally clicking on ads. It makes me not want to ever go on this site. I would not recommend it.

40 bucks a month is what you will pay to receive the must have boxes by PopSugar. They hv recently added a mini for 18.95. I so far hv only received 1 box and will be getting Aprils box. The method Im using to determine which subscription boxes I will subscribe to is the 3 strikes method. All of these subscription boxes are a gamble but for 40 bucks a month I think its overpriced. The worth of the boxes are based on the suggested retail price. Even with the mini your only getting 2 items I just think its overpriced, over hyped. The items should be better quality and I think you should get alot more items in a 40 dollar box. They hv special edition boxes that cost 100. Dont fall for the hype you can get 3 other beauty boxes for the price of this 1 box. And when you dont know what your getting its too high of a price. If you like certain items go to eBay and you will probably find it for sale. Its the best route to go if you hv a tight budget. The quality of the items the number of items you get just dont cut it for me. Dont get caught up in the hype be smart. Most of these bloggers, and vloggers are getting these boxes for free. Even if I received it free to review I would still feel the same some praise these companies just so they can continue getting free items from other companies that want good reviews. I know Im long winded and probably rambling so I apologize for that. Long story short its not worth the money.
