Um, this is weird...this is the first time I see this:

[MUAStephM]

Bummer Sephora! How do you not know how much you have to sell? I have been a subscriber since day 1. I truly hope this isn't a pattern starting now that the box is open to more areas. I was looking forward to this box. 

Greetings from Sephora,

Due to the popularity of the PLAY! By Sephora Program, we unfortunately oversold our boxes for July. As a result, we are unable to ship you the July box and will NOT charge you the $10 monthly fee. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and are working to ensure that you have a positive experience with the PLAY! program moving forward.   

As a thank you for your understanding, we are adding 500 points to your Beauty Insider account. These will be automatically applied within 3-5 business days, and redeemable with any in store or online purchase. Feel free to visit our Rewards Boutique to start browsing!

What now? As a valued member of the PLAY! program, your monthly subscription will continue as planned with the August box. Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any additional questions about your PLAY! by Sephora subscription, please visit our PLAY! FAQs page.

Regards,

Sephora Client Service

I'm sorry that happened to you. At least you get 500 points. I received a payment declined notification. I updated my billing address three times before. There was also a pending payment on my bank account on the 3rd of July.I received another billing notification today, updated my payment info and today, I received a payment update today, but I will not be receiving the July Box 😞

[snoflakefaerie]

I have a feeling this is going to happen to me as well. My order still says in progress, when I feel like it usually says sent to warehouse by now. My order also never specified box a or b. 

It's such a bummer they reneged on the order. It seems like they shouldn't have done that to anyone who has been a subscriber from the beginning (as others have stated). And honestly, how do you oversell a box like this? It makes zero sense to me.

[jen81]

Mine still says in progress also, but last month didn't ship until the 14th and arrived the 17th.

[wheeeee]

I don't want my box.  If anyone is interested PM.  It shipped today.  

I don't know if I got the Oily or Dry box, though. Nothing was mentioned in my order. 

I was hoping PLAY was to try new stuff. 

[Milou07]

I am so sorry that happened!  My first box is supposed to be this month.  As much as I am looking forward to it, I think they should have told new subscribers that they wouldn't get a box this month rather than existing subscribers.  Bummer.  😞

[MUAStephM]

Yeah, I am not excited about it. I am not a complainer, but I guess just venting a little lol. 

I am happy you are getting one. I hope you love it! I am sure I can always swap for the items if I have something in my existing stash someone else needs. 

[Samtian]

Was there something particular you were looking for in the box?

[MUAStephM]

Thanks so much for asking! I love this board. ❤️ 

Honestly, aside from the smash box I was really looking forward to using this whole box and the bag is insanely cute. I am hoping that someone will trade with me when the time comes that they start getting theirs. I belong to a group on FB that swaps and some people have already stated their displeasure with the spoilers. I have hope. If you are looking to swap yours, PM me 🙂 I have a fair amount of stuff that I could swap out. 

[H216]

I pretty much have no use for this box except the wave spray. Riddle me this, if they think you have dry skin so they give you a liquid bronzer but then throw in bloterazzi...smh

Anyways, anyone that wants the contents let me know. 

[MUAStephM]

LOL. I have a pending trade, if it falls through I will for sure want to! I should know by tomorrow. 

[flonkerton]

@MUAStephM stupid question but how do you know what the bag looks like? and what's inside? Whenever I pull up the preview it just brings up that annoying thread about how to look good in the summer 

[MUAStephM]

Google Sephora Play July spoilers. MySubscritionAddition posts them. Also, you can go into your play purchases and see once it has shipped. 

[MK89]

@MUAStephM I may have a few things to trade from the box as well, I'll let ya know 😉

[jen81]

Wow that is super crappy! How can they not know how many boxes they have? You have subscribed since day one and they don't have a box for you, that's crazy.

[MUAStephM]

I would think they would have a count, but hopefully it is a one time thing. Now what to do with my 500 extra points LOL. Stash them like the rest and hope for something awesome to show up. 

[angelKiss24]

The 500 points may get you something even better than this month's box!! I'm glad you got something good out of their mistake 😉

[Tarabotti]

If Sephora wants to keep adding PLAY! subscribers, they should know to increase the number of boxes. Sure, there are cancellations each month, but I don't think that the cancellations exceed the number of new subscribers. 

[MUAStephM]

Agreed. 

[makeupmae]

I feel like I've been on the waiting list for what seems like forever. As a ROUGE member I am extremely disappointed. I spent a ton of money per year with Sephora. ROUGE Members should have first priority.
