“I have been subscribed now for around 6 months. I have noticed the following: 1. The boxes are ALWAYS late. Each month you pay on the 1st/2nd, however your won't receive your box until between the 12th and 16th. 2. If something goes wrong and you need to contact someone at Cohorted - brace yourself. I am not sure that anyone even works there! I had placed an order from there website totalling over £100. 2 weeks later the order still hadn't been dispatched, I couldn't get hold of anyone via email, FB and no phone numbers. Eventually I was contacted to say that they didn't have any of the 5 items in stock (how?!) & so I would be refunded. Maybe there website is all a front ... very weird anyway. 3. The quality & value of each box varies quite a lot. Sometimes you will get recognised brands (like Mac, Bobbi Brown, Clarins) but the vast majority of items are from brands that you wont have heard of. Also, they will claim that an eyeshadow palette is worth say £40, but actually, when you google the brand and exact palette, you could buy it from some basement bargain website for £12. Also, in the December box for example, bearing in the mind that you have subscribed to a BEAUTY box, the box contained candles, bubble bath and soap. Again, they suggest that these candles (about 8cm high) are worth £18 each. I don't have a bath. Didn't use anything out of that box - gave it to my colleague. Hope this helps x”

“UPDATE Finally received my box today,contents:face cream SAMPLE(to use maybe 3 times),2 SAMPLE face masks(wtf!?!),SAMPLE body wash,body scrub and missing the body lotion which was supposed to be with them(waiting on an email back from them to what happened to it)the only product that kinda interests me at this point is just the Marc Jacobs setting spray SAMPLE. No make up at all just RUBBISH.good I have canceled my subscription! P.S. forgot in my last review to say about the fact that in my 7 months(it is 7 not 6)I have not received not even 1 foundation..”

“January’s cohorted box is a absolute rip off DONOT purchase! They tell you the value of the box is £133 yet they’re basing that value on full size products and they give u tiny ones! Absolutely no makeup atall! Decembers made me think this was a great subscription but il defiantly be cancelling”

“Appalling - attempted to cancel the box multiple times (they don't make it easy; it's almost like they don't want you to be able to!) and when I finally succeeded I was still charged for the next two months (£70). No response from customer service, although two boxes mysteriously arrived in the post much later...I suppose they think sending boxes of TK Maxx clearance tat is an acceptable way to patch things up, rather than refunding me my £70?”

We are sorry to know you feel this way. At Cohorted our ethos for the Black Beauty Box is centered upon providing customers with a versatile selection of both high end and discovery brands. Our beauty boxes are curated by our beauty editors each month to try and bring you the best beauty box experience possible. The curation of our beauty boxes are completely independent so we can not comment on similar stock that may be retailed by third party retailers. Please contact our customer service team at customerservice@cohorted.co.uk who can assist you with your issue.

“I've been charged twice, and i still didnt receive anything. Its 4th of February and i dont even have my January box, nothing..i wrote 15 emails and didnt get any response, tried calling its not working. this is a total scam, im left without money and i m left with no beauty box. this is ridiculous. i hope i will receive the boxes, but its February and nothing...”

We’re sorry you’ve had this experience. Please Email our customer service team at customerservice@cohorted.co.uk if you'd like to talk about the specifics of your situation and get your problem resolved immediately.

“Cohorted boxes are so so disappointing. Month after month the boxes are late and there is always something wrong with the box. This month I'm missing a Clarins lipstick. December box was a complete joke...I'm in my twenties and ordered this.box due to the brand's that seemed to be affiliated with cohorted but instead I got candles and soaps no thank you. Good luck if you try to contact customer service as I have tried numerous times and never received a reply. I'm cancelling and finding another company who treat their customers better.”

“Awful customer service, they take weeks to respond (even on Facebook messenger). I had an issue with one of the products in my beauty box, I sent it back, as told to by the customer service team when I complained. They told me they would be sending me two items in replacement which would be equal to the price of the item I sent back. Weeks went by with no reponse from the cohorted team despite persistent messages via both Facebook and email. In the end they finally told me they were going to send out the items. I received the parcel today which only contained one of the items (a Mac mineralise skin finish) in a completely different colour to the one promised me. I'm so disappointed with the quality of cohorted's customer service. Furthermore the beauty box has gone completely downhill with them now repeating products from previous boxes. The almost doubling in price of the box when it became a subscription has not increased its value at all.”

“My box was perfect best box on the market, What isn't perfect is cohorted taking double payment each mother £70 And very reluctant to refund 3 months in a row this happened to me, if I hadn't noticed that would have been £105 more they would have taken. Not a single aplogy, for the3rd month I'm struggling to get my refund Don't run a business if you can't deal with customers”

“Very unhappy and have many issues. The first box I bought from Cohorted was the July box. An item arrived damaged and used so I tweeted and sent them an email and a message on instagram requesting a replacement or refund. No response but a week later I received a replacement box. I figured they'd just sent me a replacement but no courtesy of a response. Two days later, I received an email asking me to return the 2nd box as it was sent in error and that they would refund my postage - I saw all over Facebook that other people hadn't yet received theirs, presumably because they had messed up the order and sent some people it twice! I responded confirming I would return the 2nd box as did not want to deprive people that had paid of receiving one but would still like a refund for my damaged one. No response, no thanks (we're now in October!) and still no refund for my postage or damaged item. On the 01/10/15 I bought the subscription for the black and white box. Payment for both was taken from my account, there was no mention as to when the subscription would start so I assumed it started there and then. I am yet to receive either box or dispatch notification. Their website states dispatch is within 1 working day - 6 working days later and nothing! Somebody has suggested that this is for November.. seeing as this is a subscription that means on the 01/11 I would have made 2 payments for both boxes and still wouldn't have received one box as the monthly boxes take over a week to arrive! I have emailed and alas.. no response!!! POOR POOR customer service and business practice.”

“Do not use this company! I like many others gave my personal information over for a subscription I wished to cancle only to have them take money out of my account multiple times with multiple attempts to have my card details removed from their data base. Emails reassuring me it had been removed did not work. Do not make my mistake and trust this immoral company that does not adhere to the data protection act”

“A review later and with numerous emails going UN-answered – I then receive the one promise from Cohorted Communications Ltd (OR Zenith Ltd) they are to resolve my complaint. But not so!! - Yet another week on and I'm still faced with no refund for my cancelled order (due to inconstant information on dispatch/delivery dates with non-existent customer services from Cohorted ) –Still £123.00 out of pocket - I paid Cohorted OR (Zenith Ltd as on my PayPal account) on the 19th October - 2 months and I’m still counting they have held my money . Initially I brought the advent calendars as Christmas gifts for my daughters, so find it upsetting when it’s so needed to replace their presents. Update Just received the same email reply as previous week to refund request – reply by Cohorted customer services: We’ve sent to our accounts department should be resolved by end of business if not please contact us again – Realise it’s the same automated reply as last week is this just to pacify me !!! As no refund payment in my account and here we go again ….. Find this distressing; no contact phone number to speak to anyone, emails are automated replies so ignored – Very bad customer service and they are trying to make people give up on the refunds by being difficult!!! My gut instinct tells me that there is something very wrong with this company – buyer beware I feel I have been scammed. Please refund me the money that you owe me …”

“This company is absolute garage. Stay away at all costs.”

Good Afternoon Julie, We are very sorry you feel this way about us. Please contact Customer Services and we will resolve any issues you may have.

“The price has gone up and products got cheaper.”

We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with your Beauty Box this month. At Cohorted, our ethos is providing the best Beauty Box experience in the UK. We can only do this through constantly improving on our boxes. Thanks to feedback like yours that is possible.

“Products were really good, however I got 3 different products than I was supposed to get based on what was shown in the magazine/brochure in the box. Also some of the items were in damaged packaging, not looking like new. It felt like I was sent leftovers from the last box. I guess I will wait and see what I will get next month. The delivery time was I think more than 5 working days, not great.”

Hi Elena, please reach out to our customer service team (customerservice@cohorted.co.uk) if you haven't already. We're sorry about the experience you had this month. We're sure you'll love next month's beauty box just as much as we do!

“I order first beauty box 5th of February and they charge money like a normal i get receive to gmail that my first box it will be on 5th-10th March, but today is 20th of March and i still not get any box and funny thing is they charge me 1th of March for next beauty box so when i will get other one!!!!!??????”

“I wish I had read these reviews before ordering. It's so strange. They have barely any social media presence and don't reply to emails. I have no idea when to expect anything because the communication is rubbish. Hoping I don't end up waiting months and losing money.”

“Started my subscription in october and was billed £34.99 was then billed a further £35 on the first of november and have not received 1 box, i have cancelled my subscription and am hoping my bank will help to make sure they take no further money from me and to help me get back my £70. Would have give 0 stars if possible. Feel like i have been scammed which is such a shame as i had such high hopes for this beauty box.”
