I have received many boxes from Globeln and I have to say each one has been full of items that I am happy to own. I have received a mix of kitchen items, glassware, and beauty items and have enjoyed all of them. I am happy to help support people around the world as the workmanship they provide has been very nice. I am always excited to see what the next box will hold.

We can't wait for you to experience all of our Box Builders to come!
Ohhh!! Finally, my Ease box arrived and the picnic basket is love. Such great quality and the seamless wine glass are perfect for my kitchen collection. 5/5!
Loved the Delight Box!!! The coastal vibes of it aligned with my dinner table and the Handpainted Service Bowl is what my mother loves to serve her food in! The Fruit Forks and glasses are of great quality...Thank you Globeln.
It's really fun receiving my cute adorable boxes from Globeln. Every box comes perfectly customized and all the hand-made beautiful items are packed really well. Today only, I received my Sanctuary box packed with JusTea peppermint detox drink and the beautiful Raffia coaster set. Happy subscriber.

So happy you're enjoying GlobeIn! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Really satisfied, until I needed help, then it was awful.
I loved this monthly box. So much. Sometimes I got stuff I didn't want, but just regifted it. Being able to shop for what I wanted made it easier once the surprise boxes were meh. Then I got something I didn't order and what I ordered didn't come. No one to call, so you just wait for a response. I was a good customer and got a rude reply that they wouldn't mail my item until I returned what was mistakenly sent to me. They didn't even know I had it. I could've been dishonest and not told them. I had to pay to ship it myself, which seemed unfair so I delayed. Finally I gave in and mailed it back. Never got my item. Waited. Waited. Wrote again. Bummer way to end being a long happy customer.
Two stars because initially they would have been a five. But to just cheat me out of shipping back something I never ordered and never sending me my expensive tall basket I already paid for, means only two stars. And that's probably generous.

Hi Maricela - Thank you for this feedback and we are sorry to hear that you haven't had the best experience. I just looked into our email system and I do not see any recent emails from you and it doesn't look like you've been a customer of ours since 2019.
I just wanted to explain that at GlobeIn, we only offer online and email support at this time to make sure we are assisting our customers in the most efficient manner and are able to document our interactions. I assure you that our Support Team does their best to assist each and every one of our customer as quickly as possible and our current response time is well under 24 hours.
Per our company policy, because we've had issues in the past, we do ask that customers use the prepaid return label that we provide to send their item back to us as these are very valuable handcrafed items. We do need to see that the return has been scanned in by the shipping carrier before your correct item is shipped out.
We hope this explains our processes and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team who would be happy to help.
Did a trial membership, canceled membership prior to end of trial, and still was charge for a annual membership...yet I am no longer a member. I ordered nothing. Total rip off!
Reply from GlobeIn2023-05-09
Hi Amy - We are sorry to hear that you were accidently charged after you cancelled your trial membership and our Support Team would be more than happy to assist you. If you haven't already, please reach out to them through email or by using the contact form on our website and we will look into this for you right away.
Products were of cheaper quality than what one would see at a World Market but double the price. A yearly subscription fee still incurs a $150 shipping cost and you basically run out of stuff to buy unless you double up on some items. I don't need 2 pictures or pompom garlands. Then they are disorganized and, even though I tried to cancel, they renewed my subscription anyway for another $517. So sad.

Thank you for sharing this feedback and we're sorry to hear about this negative experience with GlobeIn. I tried to locate a subscription or email communications for you but I wasn't able to find any. Our Customer Support Team would be more than happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you have regarding your charges and membership.
In regard to the price, it's true that a lot of the time you will find similar goods for pennies on the dollar. But we ask in return, do you know where those items came from? Are they truly handmade? Do you know who made them?
We are in the business of not only making a social impact but providing you with the opportunity to participate in conscious consumerism. Compared to machine-manufactured products, ours are handmade by real men and women, and we provide fair wages and support to our partners in return.
The membership model allows us to place large orders with the producers. As a result, we are able to optimize logistics, and offer our customers great value products, while ensuring that more money goes to the artisans. For artisans, large orders also mean a steady income that is predictable and reliable.
My grafted cactus fits perfectly in the Terracotta Plant Pal - Elephant. The planter is adorable, and I just adore how adorable it looks. 5 stars.

Jeffrey - Aren't these planters the cutest?! 🧡🐘 They are handcrafted by artisans in India and are such a fun way to add playfulness to any space! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying yours!
So a couple years ago I joined their Premium Maven subscription and had been pretty happy with the items I received. Starting late last summer, items started getting shipped that were poorly packed, arrived broken or were just simple missing...I think it was 5 shipments altogether. I tried multiple times to reach out to customer service without success, literally no response. Finally after many attempts Fiona gets back to me, and tells me I need to ship all the broken stuff back at my own expense and we can't replace the items because they're out of stock. Welp, in Dec 2021 I had just had enough of paying for items I didn't receive or broke so I asked them to cancel. Fast forward to July 2022 (having heard nothing from GlobeIn in the interim) I'm charged $600 for another year and now Marjorie says I can't have my money back. Good grief what a con.

Hi Tracy - We thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us and we are so sorry to hear that you've had such trouble! All of our memberships are automatically renewing. This information is provided during the sign up process, through your confirmation email, as well as in the Billing section in your account. We also allows members to cancel at any time easily within their account.
When customers receive damaged items, we always do our best to replacement them if we have inventory possible. If replacements are not available, we always issue credit. We never require customers to pay return shipping on damaged items back. We have read through all of your previous email communications with our Support Team and we do not see that this was requested of you. We see that we did issue credits and replacements were applicable.
We want to let you know that we have completely changed our platform in the last 6 months and this includes switch to a new fulfillment center. With this change, we have seen a significant delay in the number of damaged items our customers report.
We hope this helps address some of the concerns that you shared with us and if you need further assistance, our Support Team would be happy to help!
The person I talked with was great. She helped me with problem and was very professional during the whole process.

Hi Holly - We are so happy to hear that you've had such a great experience with our Support Team. These ladies are great! 😁 They are always happy to look into any issue, answer any question, and improve your customer experience.
I order every month by using the Maven program. The products are well-made, but I wish that the sizes were given. I order to save up for Christmas and birthday presents. I had changed from the boxes, because I was getting repeat products, and would rather choose exactly what I want.

Hi Paula - We appreciate you taking the time to leave this feedback and we will be sure to share it with our team! We try to give measurements for all items on our website and if you ever notice that we missed one, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team and let us know so we can get that fixed asap. 🙂 Using our members-only feature, Box Builder, is the best way to choose all of the exact items you receive in your box while also getting the biggest discounts possible!
Marjorie was awesome. My order magically triplicated itself and took my maven points. Marjorie was able to cancel 2 of the 3 orders and returned my maven points promptly. Bonus- I now get my original order in the box builder and all my points are restored. Life is grand

I love this subscription box. I always find something unique from places that I never heard of before. Every time I get something new my daughters always want one. I've bought them many of the items that I bought for myself.

It’s just spiraled down hill from when they first started. There are other fair trade websites working with artisans and selling the same exact products for less cost. In the past my orders would arrive lacking packaging and broken, then over packaged with excessive bubble wrap tape and other plastic, then a full bag of recycling when they switched to filling the whole box with shredded paper. It’s like a joke, consumers don’t deserve to go through the ups and downs like this. I appreciate where this company started and what they aim to do but I want more assurance they are better then regular retailers (to the artisans).

Very disappointed and discouraged on continuing a membership. I joined just at the start of their move to a new warehouse. Literally, thousands of dollars of items I ordered were canceled. More then poor communications and months and months of nothing. Items now are literally double the price ... and their cheaper items offered. There's no fun in wanting a certain box and being able to buy your second and third choices too. I renewed for an extra year wanting to give the benefit of doubt and its only gotten worse. Its ashamed, the products they use to offer ... and maybe 1 in 5 chance of getting something nice and worth talking about is long gone. Don't waste your money! Plenty of other organizations that have it together are out there. Negative -5 stars. GlobeIn, you should pull all your FALSE ADVERTISING!

Hi Jodie,

Due to the handmade nature of our items, we are only able to have a limited stock of products each month. Because these items are not made on a manufacturing line, we are not able to have an unlimited amount of product, unfortunately. The artisans make as much as possible without sacrificing quality or their well-being.
Some of our items sell out very quickly, but we always try to get more in stock as soon as possible, and these items will likely be available the following month!
Again, we apologize for this disappointment and please feel free to contact us at https://globein.com/contact if you have any questions in the meantime.

Over 600 CAD a year, not enough items that I like to choose from, and not many being added often. I have over 400 CAD there that I can't use because there are no new products I like (very limited options).
They keep changing how the system works. Some things are cool like the box builder. But the cash to maven points is confusing and weird. 400 CAD suddenly turns into points I don't know how to spend!!!! Literally how the hell can I spend the points? I don't get it.
I wish I could get my 400 back.
To be fair I will say that I do like the majority of products I got. It's a bit of a hit or miss sometimes but they do look unique. And I like what the company stands for. But if you gonna charge me that much at least have more options every month or so. And from more countries instead of 90% India, the box implies it's from around the globe...

I am not happy with GlobeIn anymore. I want to first say that I almost never receive e-mails about changes being made. And I never received e-mails reminding me it's time to pick a basket.
Picking a basket also used to be so simpler.
I always found their shop to be insanely expensive, but I expected that. I never thought they would raise the price of boxes however! I am paying to have an equal chance at all the boxes, no matter my financial situation.
My last note is that I never received any e-mails about the boxes being picked through the store now. I missed out on all of them. This is my last subscription.
Side note: For those saying it's all on Facebook, I do not have much access to my Facebook.

The entire process has been painfully confusing. My daughter has had to help me half of the six month subscription. I seldom get what I want (it’s usually sold out). But I must say I’ve been happy with items I felt like I’ve “settled for”. The concept is awesome and I want to support all the artists but the organization seems to be in a mess. Your customer service is awesome though
