Scentbird Perfume Box — Subscription problems It was an impulse buy so i subscribed for like 2 months before wanting to cancel it but when it said i canceled it- it skipped one month and charged me again. So i went in and tried to cancel it again making damn sure i didn’t press skip a month and it did it again. Today…
…day!! I haven’t even reactived my subscription for a few months now. And although my card has been charged, I haven’t even been getting anything sent to me!! That’s why I didn’t notice my card was being charged until physically checking my bank statements.
Scentbird Perfume Box — They will steal from you, DONT SIGN UP!! I was charged $94 after three months of paying $9 so their promotions aren’t promotions, they give you the stuff for that price then at the end of the subscription term (say three months) they charge you pretty much full price and steal your money…
