According to the World Health Organisation (“WHO”), the chances of contracting COVID-19 from an inanimate object are very low. However, GLOSSYBOX is constantly monitoring the situation (and any official advice issued in connection with the same) and GLOSSYBOX is taking sensible measures to protect customers and staff. We suggest you review the WHO website for latest advice in this regard.
Specifically, in respect of the threat of COVID-19, additional measures implemented by GLOSSYBOX currently include the following:
- All GLOSSYBOX employees have received additional education and training on hand hygiene and we have deployed additional hand sanitisers throughout all workplaces.
- We are adhering to UK Government guidelines and supporting employees who need to self-isolate for 7 days, should they have any concerns or show flu-like symptoms, have a high temperature or a persistent cough
- In addition, we are taking extra precautions on reducing any touch and transmission points throughout all GLOSSYBOX premises and workplaces.
In response to COVID-19, all our carriers are taking precautionary measures to ensure the health and wellbeing of their drivers and our customers.
Please be assured that all our carriers are following the advice and guidelines from the government and that the safety of everyone is our priority.
There is currently no impact to our delivery services at this stage, however we encourage all customers to use your home address for delivery.
Moving forward all carriers will operate a contact free delivery service which means that you won’t be required to sign for any parcel that’s delivered.
You can see all carrier guidelines and measures upon visiting the nominated carrier website, emails will be provided upon dispatch to confirm delivery information.
We hope that you understand and appreciate the measures that have been implemented are to protect you and ensure we can continue operate as normal.
We also have strict safeguarding measures in place across each of manufacturing and distribution sites across the globe, which go far beyond any Government guidelines. This is to ensure our teams can work safely while maintain social distancing at all times. Other measures include providing our manufacturing and distribution colleagues with ready-to-cook ingredient meal packs at the end of each shift, sufficient to feed a family of four. These are provided free of charge and aimed at reducing the needs of our staff to visit supermarkets, increasing their own safety while reducing the strain on supermarkets to help the more vulnerable in our local regions.
We are introducing world-leading measures to monitor and safeguard the health of all colleagues working in our fulfilment centres. In addition to temperature checks and social distancing measures across all sites, we will be installing thermal imagery technology throughout our Warrington premises, with plans to deploy globally. This innovative equipment will allow us to offer early detection of elevated body temperatures which may indicate the presence of a fever,via non-invasive and non-intrusive technology. We don’t believe any other company has taken this measure.

From the 1st of August, you can log in and reactivate - choosing whichever new plan you prefer).

Please follow the below steps to update your address information:
- Log into your account
- Select 'view all' in the subscription section of your account

Once you have successfully subscribed to GLOSSYBOX, you may access and edit your Beauty Profile at any time. It comes in the form of a brief questionnaire asking about your beauty preferences. This helps us to select products that most effectively address your beauty needs. You may also access your profile by logging into your account and clicking on "My Beauty Profile" on the left hand sidebar. Should you have several GLOSSYBOX subscriptions running on your account, you are able to complete a separate Beauty Profile for each.
The Beauty Profile contains questions about your preferences and the condition of your skin and hair. It helps us gain knowledge of your preferences, enabling us to better select brands and products for them. Our box versions are matched as closely as possible to your specifications.
We hope you understand that the product selection you receive in your boxes is also a personal preference. In order to provide you with new and exciting products to cater for all of our subscribers, your boxes will occasionally contain items that may not quite match your selections.
We need to receive cancellations by the 14th day of your desired finishing month.
You can cancel 3, 6 and 12 month pay upfront subscriptions at any time for the plan not to be renewed at the end of the term, however you cannot cancel a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription early and you must complete the term.
You can cancel out of a 1 month rolling plan at any time. You cannot cancel a 12 month pay monthly contract until the end of the term however can cancel at anytime for the plan not to be renewed at the end of the term.
For example, if you subscribe on the 1st of the month you would need to cancel before the 14th of the same month, otherwise you will be enrolled for one more box with us.
Please note: if you've already been billed for the current month (usually on the 1st for the rolling one month subscription), your cancellation will be effective starting next month. IMPORTANT: If you sign up or cancel after the 14th you will receive that months box which you are subscribing to along with the following months box.
The most common reason is that the cancellation did not take place within the subscription deadline.

Please note that we cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf, this must be done by yourself through your online account.
If you want to change to a different subscription plan, you must wait to opt out of your current plan. You can then go in and reactivate a new subscription any time after the first of the following month, in order to avoid duplicate boxes (e.g. You have a 6-month plan that starts in February and ends in July. You must cancel by the 14th of July. Then on August 1st, you can log in and reactivate, choosing whichever new plan you prefer).

When the box leaves our warehouse, we send you a dispatch email with the delivery and tracking details so that you know when to expect it.

If your subscription is marked as 'waiting', this means that we have been unable to charge you for your box as of yet. For a monthly subscription, we usually begin charging on the 1st of each month - If we cannot charge you on this date, we will continue to do so on scheduled dates throughout the month.
Please note that the payment is not refused from ourselves but from your payment provider. This may also be down to a recent change in your existing payment method, such as a blocked or expired card.
If you do need to change your payment details, please complete the following steps to ensure you do not miss out on your box:
- Please log in to your customer account on our website, www.glossybox.co.uk

Please note that if we are unable to successfully charge you for that month, that particular box will not be sent and your subscription will roll over to the following month.
IMPORTANT: We are unable to take payment information over the phone or via email so this needs to be done by yourself through your online account
We will typically attempt to debit your account every 48-72 hours until it is successful. If we are unable to successfully charge you after several attempts, we will withhold shipment of the GLOSSYBOX until your billing details are updated..The subscription will go into 'waiting' mode until your billing details are updated. However, this will not cancel the subscription.
Please note that a change of your payment information for one subscription also extends to any other subscriptions linked to your account. In order to avoid duplicate charges, please make sure that you only have one subscription running before updating your payment method.
At this time, it is not possible to pay for different subscriptions with separate payment methods. If you wish to pay for a given subscription with another credit card, you will need to set up another account using a different email address.
