Hey guys! Today we are unboxing an Alltrue box and while I do think there are some decent items in this box it seems like there is a SLIGHT chance they give non-customizers the items that are left over or the lowest value they can give that gets close to the promised $250 value. Let me know what you think though! Also I'm so sorry it sounds like the microwave is on in the back! To be completely honest I was filming while my fiancé was home and doing homework so I turned on the bathroom fan to drown out my voice 😂 I hope you guys are having lovely day!!
Aww, come on! You live with the guy, and you're getting married. I'm certain he's heard your filming voice before and probably finds it adorable 😋. Although, I have to say that I absolutely hate my recorded voice (too high), so I deliberately try to drop it an octave if I think anyone is going to hear it, so I can emphasize 🙄. Take care. 💜☮️
Alexandria I can guarantee that your fiance will not have a problem with your filming voice. I'm sure the rest of your longtime fans will agree that you have and extremely lovely, friendly and calming video voice. It has saved us all from succumbing 2 stress , depression and all sorts of daily upsets.
Yes! There’s quite a few pet boxes these days (for all kinds of pets - we get one for the buns). Some of the things they include are so cute and I’m sure there’s a fairly local, small business brand they could get. It would be so cute for Ren to do an unboxing! 🤣
At this point, their marketing team should just take a season out of rotation and get the schedule back on track! For example, if this were the Spring box arriving near March wouldn't everyone be much happier? I canceled ages ago because I couldn't stand the late (as in, season is almost over) arrivals. The deal breaker for me was the winter box arriving after Christmas. We wanna regift those items, y'all!
I TOTALLY regret buying a year subscription in the fall. I got my FALL box January 12. No winter box as of the end of February. And I specifically didn’t pick stuff winter box so it would be ON Time. It’s now 80 in FL today.
I'm still waiting on my Winter box too. I cancelled my subscription this week. I've not had any emails or anything from them until today with an email saying my box has shipped? I went to look for the tracking info and all that has happened is a shipping label has been created. This is THE worst subscription box ever. I saw that on FB under their ad's they are deleting all negative comments.
@@kates8183 Same problem. I didn't even get an email, it's been processing since last year. I'm cancelling because honestly, I know there are shipping issues, but this is Oui Please-level nonsense.
They are literally the worst shippers (i.e. they need to figure life out) of any subscription box in existence. They will continue to blame Covid into the next century if not millennia.
@@margaretneill3547 I thought of Oui Please and that whole fiasco too! I can't believe that Alex is now getting her winter box. What a complete fail for the company. I didn't get refunded my money when I cancelled, but at least they won't get any more of it. I think I'll probably get my last boxes next year some time. Which is dumb.
The Natura Ekos is a Brazilian brand. I'm so happy to see more Brazilian products in this boxes. The duo is priced at 36 dollars, but in Brazil they cost 51 reais. 1 dollar equals aproximadly 5,01 reais, so they're saying they paid 180, 36 reais on the duo, what is very weird because, even with the taxes and all, I don't think the cost would be that high.
Here in Argentina is around 1300 pesos for the set, which is anywhere from 6 to 13 dollars (we have severa exchange rates) each tube so I feel the prices are an exaggeration
I've literally only read the title of this video so far and I couldn't agree more. I got mine today after waiting excitedly for it to ship all month and I've never been more disappointed with a subscription box. I guess if you don't pay for the year in advance and get to do "choice", you get the crappiest of all the selections. There wasn't a single thing I would have picked in all 6 of the categories. I got a furry throw, a table runner that doesn't match my decor at all, cupcake liners, hand and foot cream, shower steamers and a box of tea. Last season was very "meh" but Winter has made me feel like I would have been better off buying ebay mystery boxes...AND the price has now gone up!! Sorry for the rant! I'm just so dang bummed! I want CauseBox back!!
So I just got my box has been shipped email and went to my account. It shows the items I will be getting and it showed the same box as yours. I was disappointed personally 😕
I agree. I loved Causebox and am not excited with the rebranding. It feels much less special and the timing is now ridiculous. I did not renew my annual last year.
I am an Annual Member, and was sad by my so very late box. They gave me the switch-a-roo on an item. I customized for the furry throw and got the carry on. I already have several carry on's, which is why I ordered the throw! Waited forever for the box! Being an Annual Member is truly not special at all!
I laughed hysterically when you put the metal tubes on your face and said “Yeah, that’s the stuff.” I watch your channel for the humor as well as the reviews and recommendations. You have perfect comedic timing IMHO.
Still waiting on my winter box. They warned about a delay if you picked specific items that would take longer to manufacture/acquire, but looks like they’ve pushed that delayed date back even further to mid-March. So that’s fun.
I love how you smell everything even if it's nail polish. I'm still waiting for my alltrue box but it's so nice to see that you got yours!! I'm so happy I customize, I am getting none of the same products!
I'm impressed. I got here within a minute of the notification, and there's already a comment queue. The last time I got this it was still Cause Box, I think, and it was pretty good. Of course, that was at least 2 years ago. Hope everyone is doing well. 💜☮️
I have Crohn’s Disease, at times it has required me to be on prednisone (steroid) for long periods of time. I was discharged from the hospital once while on 80mg of pred a day, for anyone that’s not familiar with it, that is a A LOT. While going through my discharge papers they told my husband I may become violent and/or hallucinate, and if he needs to call 911 to inform them I am on a high dose of prednisone. 14yrs later he still jokes he can call and get me committed, lol. Lower your salt intake and drink a lot of water, and good luck.
I’m on prednisone for life. I’m post double lung transplant 2019 and the weight gain and ferocious appetite is real 😆. However, higher doses make me so grumpy
@@meghannpalmer7417 Congratulations on your successful transplant, Meghann! My advice: don't go shopping when on a higher dosis, or at least only at places that don't accept cash 😂
@@meghannpalmer7417 Congratulations on your transplant. As my dosages changed, so did my actions. 50mg my house was never cleaner. I would only sleep 4hrs a night, I could jog 3 miles. My MIL has a rare autoimmune disease, and she is on pred for life. Wishing you all the luck in the world.
"The J-Hook, the long lost member of BTS".... Girl, my mouth hit the floor and I laughed my butt off. I am ARMY, and J-Hope bias, so thank you for giving me a giggle with that comment. 🤣
Yikes! I had been thinking about getting this box but after reading the comments here, that's gonna be a big fat no for me. Thanks to everybody sharing their experiences!🖤
As others have mentioned, still waiting on my winter box as well. I am so glad this was my last box of my yearly sub. I've already canceled, seems to have gone downhill since becoming alltrue.
It's definitely still Winter up here in Canada, but I'm pretty sure most of Alltrue's subscribers aren't dealing with Winter weather anymore. Seems a shame that the Winter box is so late! I like some of the items you got, but definitely doesn't seem worth a value of $250 to me...
The bran Natura is really really good, it is from South America and it is similar to Avon or Mary Kay but it is very good quality. I was surprised to see it be included in the box
i was literally thinking, “ Alexandria hasn’t posted a video in a little while.” checked my phone and there you were!! i was so excited!!! i agree, this box was less exciting, but you made it fun as you always do! thanks for another great video. 🤩 hope to watch you again VERY soon ❤️
Vahdam Teas used to be great, but then they got mentioned in (I believe) Oprah's Favorite Things and it was all downhill from there. The prices doubled and I think the quality suffered. $40 for 30 tea bags and two tins is insane for tea.
Ohhhh, you got Natura Ekos!!! It's a Brazilian brand and it's REALLY GOOD! Castanha (the NHA sounds like nya... You know? * kitten paws* nya? 😅😅 So it's castanya) is nothing more than Brazilian chestnut. Natura is very bougie here in Brazil, my fave is their red berries line
Natura products are AMAZING. The brand also owns Body Shop and Aesop. “Castanha” is Brazil nuts in Portuguese. Go for those, they are legit and amazing products ❤️
I haven’t found a subscription box that I’m willing to give a reasonable chunk of money to for items I can’t pick. I think I’d always be disappointed, even if the overall value was more than what I paid for the box. I did used to get a subscription box for my bunny, but we could choose some of the items, or choose an alternate if it was something our bun couldn’t have or didn’t like.
Unfortunately that warm grey beanie would be very suitable for our weather in Vancouver Canada right now. Just as I Was preparing to go through the house and happily shut down the heat we got an enormous hit of below freezing 50 km gusts of wind lasting 3 days. The weather has been so crazy I'll probably be wearing shorts in 2 weeks. I hope everyone else has survived this crazy winter that we all seem to be having.
I got the yearly sub as a gift and tbh I haven’t been impressed at all. I enjoy some of the products but a lot of them feel like something I can get at a home goods or Marshall’s. I just got the shipping info for the winter box and it’s almost spring.
Natura it's a company very popular in Latin America, they (I don't know for sure) are based in Brazil. They are like Avon or Mery Kay, your seller gives you a catalog with every item for you to choose. At least in Argentina its consider a nice brand. Love your videos! 🥰
Yay, hello REN! So good to see you Alexandria. It’s ok to match with your couch. It is a beautiful colour. Glad to see the bee keeping tool again, save those nails. Sorry the box was not up to par. Maybe next time ? LOL
I did customize my box, but the choices weren't my favorite for this box. I think part of that was knowing that I would get the box so late into winter. I loooove Alltrue's values as a company, but I hope they can find a solution to their shipping delays soon so that they don't lose customers.
I like thinner yoga mats much better than thicker ones. While thick ones are nice on knees, thin ones are easier to balance on. That’s a nice mat, and a pretty nice box overall.
So glad you received your winter box. Unfortunately, most of AllTrue subscribers, haven’t yet received a shipping label, as they are now ramping up for the spring season. AllTrue could actually guarantee on time delivery for the Christmas market, just not for the winter boxes!!!!
good to see causebox has improved... I remember back in 2019 and I got the fall box in like...January and they refused to either cancel the box and issue a refund, or to give me a time frame for it to ship, and when I did get it, at least one item was missing. Honestly I think its why they changed their name, I think they wanted to get away from the bad publicity that repeatedly screwing over their subscribers had caused.
It hasn't improved at all. Its worse then ever, they can just blame Covid now for the delays. I only buy it with 40-50% off and I still get disappointed everytime, lol. My winter box still hasn't shipped.
FINALLY got my box today after being charged at the beginning of December!! Totally ticked about that,,,,,,,the box was just ok. Nothing special. I will use everything, but as soon as I saw that my box had shipped (and I actually had a tracking number) I cancelled! Couldn’t hit that button fast enough! Causebox was the very first box I subscribed to and I loved it! But after 2 very disappointing experiences with the new named box, I was done!
I think I liked the box with the entertainment of you opening it much more than the options of what went in it… which is why I skipped the winter box. Here’s hoping the spring box we’ll get just before summer begins will be better.
This is the winter box. They have not started on the spring boxes yet. My winter box hasn't even shipped yet. The customization was done back in late November or early December. I have cancelled my subscription, and this will be my final box. They have had too many issues with supply shipping, and are so far behind. The winter boxes typically would have shipped in December, but are running three months late.
I loved seeing a subscription box I had not seen yet I havent seen any cause box subs on my streams to go through for you yet maybe when I have time and after my eye heals after my cataracts surgery on march 1st, they said it would take roughly a month to get my eye back and adjusted fully to seeing things clearly again, I'll binge watch alot of your videos. I just cant wait until I can read again I have so so many books I want to read and so much I've written that I want to look back on and re-read. Anyways I love you and support you and hope you feel alot better really soon.
Another tip, spray your curtains with the linen spray! I picked them as well. The purple polish is super cute. Red more for toes. You wouldn’t have gotten your WINTER box until April if you would’ve picked the blanket. 🙄
Am I the only one who loved this box??? I love winter hats, sprays, nail polish, teas.... This is 1000 times better than anything I've ever seen in a "FFF" box, and definitely the most usable items of any subscription box I've ever seen on this channel. I did try Causebox once and canceled after the first box because most of the items weren't usable, but these are ALL things I would use. That's definitely a first.
Yeah... Alltrue's been having shipping & inventory issues. I received both my Spring FabFitFun and my Winter Alltrue boxes this week so... Heh. But if you want to customized for the Spring Alltrue box, it starts tomorrow (2/24). EDIT: Not 2/24... it's 3/12.... their IG story was unclear. 🙃
"been having' since well before the pandemic. I was a subscriber to causebox in 2019 and it was a nightmare. Like 4 months late, refuse to refund or ship nightmare.
@@Alexandria-Ryan I love all the content you make and I get so happy every time you post XD my boyfriend even knows about you even thought he doesn’t watch XD
This video reminded me that I subscribed to this box. I completely forgot! I went on to check and my account said that my winter box has not even shipped yet.
Yeah, my Petal Fresh Woolzies bottle leaked in my box. 😭 I got the weekender bag (this was my last box for my annual subscription), and it stinks. 👎 So glad I received my final Alltrue winter box TODAY!
I ordered the winter box as part of a black Friday special. I still haven't received shipping notification. They've had my money since the end of November. They only time they have contacted me was about some sale they had in their shop.
I was very concerned when you first said you were opening your spring box…. I’m still waiting for my winter box to arrive to Canada, hopefully before Easter
I live in the Virginia mountains. Sometimes it can still be winter in early May 🤣 sometimes winter comes early in late October. I know places like Colorado can have winter weather a lot longer than that too, so I shouldn’t complain.
Hey Alexandra, I used to be a seasonal subscriber to alltrue until last year. Since I have been an annual member and picking out what I wanted in my box I did notice a big change in the value to my box as well as seeing products I was much more happy with and used more often. However, as you know there shipping is a quite a bit behind so not sure if I will be resubscribing again with pricing still going up. Thank you for Sharing! 🙂
The only subscription box I sub to is an expensive Japanese snack one, as a trans guy I don't think I'm in the target demographic for these... but I love watching you! You have such a fun on camera personality and I love it when you dunk on these companies for providing a bad value etc. Keep it up! EDIT: The way you said "rose stank" is destroying me 😂
@@kimberlyoldschool Bokksu! It's pricey but the snacks are truly good quality shit and I've discovered several new varieties of tea I like thanks to them too! (Hokkaido corn tea is 🔥)
It’s sad how much enjoyment I get watching her open boxes-- like I have no desire to have these subscriptions or products. She’s just so sweet and entertaining 😂
I missed customization this time as well. I did get the throw and it is very cozy. The creams are nice, but I do have a lot of these types of items also. I would have liked the linen sprays and don’t remember what I got instead.
I work in manufacturing and upholstery for furniture. Most fabrics have been treated with formaldehyde. Some fabrics more than others and sewing these always gives me a headache.
I watch too many people who live in the south talking about spring coming soon, cause where I live we got so much snow over the past couple days they had to call up the front end loader to get snow out of the driveway. We also have an inevitable St. Patrick's day foot of snow to deal with. I am so done with winter
Good box sister !! You crack me up🤣🤣. I love tye dye too!! I. Im wanting to start yoga too. Hope your weekend is good and yeah customizing would be better !!
I am giving this box another try- Spring. I really liked it when it was Causebox- supporting women in developing nations. My items were just meh! The hubby even said- a winter box at the end of February? I am game for two more boxes, being as the box was rebranded.
I ordered the winter box in November and I still haven’t gotten it. I’ve also not received any reply from customer service when I asked them about shipping information. I cancelled and while Im sad that they rip people off, it’s also nice to see im not the only one getting screwed over
I ordered an Alltrue box 2 months ago and still hasn't arrived. I was told I get the winter box and then will get the spring box. I have been concerned about ordering the box, I have been FFF girl for 2 years and very much enjoy their boxes.
Heehee, the first thing I thought when you said linen, oh, you mean that Beatle, John Linen? We're in the middle of some rennos on our house and have been listening to a lot of classic rock...🤣
I actually just obtained my first vegan/plant based nail polish myself! It’s called, “Piggy Paint”. LOL. I purchased a wee, little variety pack containing a crème pastel lime, a shimmer fuchsia, a shimmer hot pink, and a shimmer violet. Each color does need 2 - 3 coats but they do go on nice and evenly. And, I’m not sure WTF is up with yours but mine doesn’t smell _anything_ like regular nail polish! In fact, it’s quite nice!
That's a bummer. I did get a yearly membership (I think this is my last box of the year). I chose my items. I'm kind of torn on the idea of customizing. One the one hand, you're sure you like everything - hopefully. But then you're not surprised, which seems fun as well.
I’m so ADD that I forget what’s in my FFF box and I do customize… so it is always a surprise for me anyway! But I hear you; for those people who remember things it would be tough.
You got Natura Ekos!! I'm brazilian and Natura is one of my all time favorite national brand. Everything they do smells sooooo good! Hopefully you'll try more of their products and like it as well :) I remember being asked a lot the name brand of my perfum when I lived in the US haha It was a Natura perfum made with jabuticaba
Hi Alexandria ~ I love your humor and reviews !! Personally I’ve been loving my alltrue box but I always choose my items. So I’m kind of inclined to. Got the spray for the laundry, earrings, bowls, wallet, shower steamers and the weekend traveler! Definitely think it’s important to select the options you want. (Spring box customization starts on the 12th of March !) I got my Box for winter in January.
LOL...at least you got your winter box. Mine has been sitting in Atlanta for three days. I will probably customize my Spring box before I get my Winter box🙄
My favorite strengthening nail polish used to contain some amount of formaldehyde and it hasn't been the same since they've stopped putting the good stuff into it :(((
I still get embarrassed that the last time I was at your store, I got all excited to meet Rin and totally ignored you, even though you were holding Rin!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ It's a puppy thing! 🤷🏻♀️🥰
