After reading an article about Glambot, I mailed them a package of 50+ beauty items. Despite that they promised free shipping, I still had to pay more than $20 to ship it. USPS delivered the item in early May. After contacting them at least 8 times and nearly never hearing back, they let me know today that they don't have it - that USPS must have lost it. USPS has submitted proof of delivery. In all reality, I suspect they have just stolen my makeup.

I sent them a box of carefully bubble-wrapped high-end makeup -- e/s palettes & foundations from Dior, Chanel, etc, NO drug-store or very used items. Totaled 57 items in all. USPS tracking said box was delivered on Feb. 21, I waited another five days and emailed them. They claimed they were having issues with USPS delivery -- BS! Finally, they sent me an offer: $120(!) or $2.48 average apiece for a box containing roughly $2,000 of barely touched and some new cosmetics! They then list the Chanel & Dior items for $30-$45 EACH! What a Rip off! Never again... I'll go to Poshmark or elsewhere!

I received my box of Lookfantastic 3 days ago. The down side was that some of the items inside the box were a bit wretched. The seller would've packed this more carefully since it's fragile. I'm still giving Glambot 5 stars for timely delivery and the product is top quality.

Hi Mia! Welcome to the Glambot Fam. Very sorry to hear that some items arrived damaged. Not sure if you are oversea from the U.S., but sometimes packages can get a bit rough handled. We do try our best to package orders so they arrive in the best condition possible. Thanks for your honest review :)

Scam.
October 31, 2016

Sent them Dior. Tom Ford. Channel. Products they were selling on the site. They first tried to say where is your box we never got it. Then when I told them I would have rather given it away than gotten scammed they magically found it. Saying it smelled of smoke would l like to pay $15 to get it sent back. Well yes I would and my cosmetics were in the original packages. Can't wait to see what stinking mess they send back to me. They are wanting to scam your cosmetics off you. Do not do this.

Scam
April 13, 2016

They claim if you send makeup with over half you can get up to 150. I sent 21 pieces of mac Makeup and it was barely used. They offered me 40 bucks, when i said no they told me i had to pay for shipping it back which is the first i heard of this. I complained and the lady said i could pay with pay pal i told her i did not have an account and needed my invoice and no one has gotten back to me. From what i gave them looking at their website they stand to make over 200 and only offered me 40. Now i don't even know how to get my makeup back because i have yet to receive a response on how to get that invoice.

Thank you!
February 19, 2019

I recently bumped into this site and decided to give it a try in spite of the complaints from customers that I had seen on the site. I made a test order of stila smudge potm urban decay glide eye shadow and naked2 & 3.
17 days elapsed before receiving the order and thought I had lost it.
When the package finally arrived, it was a bit unexpected because I had somehow given up. But the products were in good condition.
So, it's a thank you from me!

Hi Maria! Thank you for shopping with us. International packages do take some time to be delivered because of customs- so sorry you had to wait so long. Glad you were able to snag some items from Stila and Urban Decay. Woot! Amazing that your items arrived in perfect condition. So glad we met your expectations and we hope to see you again soon!

I sent an email inquiring about what could be sold and I should've known then not to sell to them because it took 7 days just to get a response. Once I finally did, I shipped a box full of UNUSED items, some still in the original packaging NEVER even opened or swatched and I was offered $20! LOL! Not to mention they had my items 4 weeks & I heard nothing until I sent an angry email. I only waited 4 weeks because it's a "new" company and I tried to give them a chance. What a joke that site is. I rejected it and ended up paying $10 just for shipping back to me! So basically, they still make a profit off of you even if you refuse their offer. And I'm sure had I taken the $20, they still would've sold every single item I sent to them & made a good profit. They are a scam. Sell your makeup on poshmark instead.

Buyer beware#
June 2, 2016

-read the fine print about their return policies! Their prices serm cheap until you realize they are selling USED items! The new unused stuff is NOT cheap. And my order somehow included a product that l would NEVER buy! L am not sure how it got in my cart (for $30 non-refundable) buy from someone reputable, that accepts returns/exchanges!

I've been a good customer of Glambot but had never got a chance of cash back or "Glambucks".
But last week was my moment when I sent in 22 boxes of brand cosmetics.
I was awarded 30% in store credit.
I love this store
Thank you guys

I was satisfied
February 15, 2019

I made my first order during Glambot vault. I liked the offer and placed for Nars face and tarte palettes. Wasn't sure my order would come through after seeing some complaints of undelivered orders on their site. Interestingly I got my order delivered in 15 days.
Whether I was lucky or they just got better in business, I was satisfied and will make another order soon.

I was impressed
April 16, 2019

This site was recommended to me by a friend some time in February. Incidentally at that time, she was complaining her delivery was late. I was reluctant to give it a try because of the good offers. I bought some IT cosmetics without any problem and customer care was in touch to confirm receipt of my order and final delivery.
I was impressed

Hi Tonette! Thanks for giving us a chance. Our deliveries are sometimes delayed, depending on what country you're located in. Different customs in difference places :) Happy you were able to get some quality IT Cosmetics items at a bargain. See you again!

Such a scam
April 18, 2017

I sent 20 several lightly swatched makeup items, including a YSL lipstick, a few UD palettes, Bobbi Brown items, etc. Again, these items were like new. My sell offer was so ricidulouss--$32. About $1.62 per item. I had to reject their lousy offer and they charged me $17 to return this box--which was small and could have been sent Priority envelope. Never again. This company gets your items, has you over a barrel with their lousy offers or pay to ship it back. Beware!

Saved from total loss
February 20, 2019

I received a package of a new brand of makeups from a local certain store that didn't work for me although they had cost me a fortune. I was worried I had made a flat loss but a friend of mine advised me to sent them to Glambot and gave it a try.
Although I was offered too less than I had spent, at least I'm glad they saved me from a total loss.

Please please do not spend your money here. I bought some things from here. Long story short i did not recieve what was ordered. It was $39.99 i emailed and asked them about it and got no answer. An invoice was not provided and i was not notified when my things were shipped. Took three weeks to get it. And plus its only a few dollars cheaper. You'll be over paying for what you couldve got in the store brand new once they and tax and shipping. I'm warning you. Go build some points at Ulta or Sephora. Its just not worth the headache with Glambot.

I had never had much luck ordering blindly online, especially foundation. I always felt that I had to go to a store and actually look at something before buying it. Last month a friend of mine recommended this online store and trusted her enough to give it a try. She told me I would find a huge range of brands at fair prices at Glambot and would be able to complete my order online without going to the physical store. I made a small sample of order to verify this and it came through last week. Apart from delivery that took 17 days, there were no difficulties. I've resolved to try them for a 2nd time before I recommend to someone else.

Hi Mary! So glad we could help with your makeup needs! Yes, finding the right foundation color is always a bit tricky- especially when done online. Amazing that your friend shared that info with you. Word of mouth is our number one channel for new customers. We can't wait to see you again for your second trial! :D

I sent over $400 worth of makeup comprising of 36 items, most of it barely used, to Glambot. They offered me $42 dollars in payment or 55 glambucks to use on their website. Are you f*cking kidding me?!?!?! I don't expect to get what I paid for the makeup back, I understand that they have to make a profit. That's how business works. But my GOD. I have sold to them before and was happy with the offer I received the first time. But after this selling experience with them, I am not planning on giving them my business in the future, as a seller or a buyer. My advice is, if you're desperate and need literally any amount of cash, sell to Glambot. But if you're expecting to get a decent payout, you'll only be disappointed.

I received my small sample order of all five Elektrocute shades and I must say, woow!
They are absolutely outta this world! I know there are a lot of mixed reviews on Glambot but I couldn't get a better deal anywhere else for this makeup.
Although I got the package well after 2 weeks, but the package was in good shape and complete.
It's a thank you

We try our very best to give the best deals on the best makeup. Not an easy feat, but we try our best! Take care, love!

Horrible
June 4, 2019

The worst company ever. I have sent them many emails regarding broken makeup or even expired makeup that they have sent me and they even do not care that much to respond. And if you live in Europe they will write even higher price on the package that you actually paid so you will pay even higher custom. Before they at least wrote 25$and you paid less custom. Oh and would really apreciate from Glambot to get response to ALL my emails.

Hi Anja- Sorry to hear that you have had a hard time contacting our Customer Success Team. As with any international, purchase, because you do not pay taxes, you will be charged your country's customs fees. We have no control over that and we cannot misrepresent the value of your package.

Unless you are going to just throw it away, DO NOT sent new expensive makeup to these people. I sent unused high end brands and they gave me a ridiculous offer of less than 60.00 for all of it. I didnt want to go thru the hassel of sending it back so I accepted. But I will never do that again. They sell the products for almost the full cost but cannot be fair to the people to keep them in business.

I had previous bought a fake version of sugarpill ElektroCute from a local store and I could not find the right one anywhere else. I also had a bad experience with online shopping but gave this one a try for the sake of my favorite brand. Apart from too late delivery, I liked my package.
