General Questions:

What is a HAPPY DOT BOX?

HAPPY DOT BOX is a beauty discovery sampling membership. Every month, we deliver four to five hand-picked beauty products, a bonus inner beauty message, and non-profit awareness straight to your doorstep. Do I have to re-subscribe each month to receive a Happy Dot Box? Once you subscribe to Happy Dot Box and are billed for your first box, you will automatically be set on a monthly recurring payment schedule. Boxes normally ship out within 5-10 business days from the date your payment was received and your tracking information is sent via email within 48-72 business hours from the ship date.

Is there a phone number for Happy Dot Box?

At this time, we are able to promptly respond to Customer Service inquiries via email. We respond to all inquiries in the order in which they are received within 48-72 business hours. (This does not include weekends or holidays).

Email contact@happydotbox.com for questions or concerns. You can also call us at 888-649-6132.

Can I purchase just one month's box?

If you would only like to receive one box, please cancel your account after you subscribe and are billed for the box you would like to receive. The box you were billed for will be shipped out within 5-10 business days. You will not be billed for any future boxes when you cancel your subscription before the anniversary date of subscribing.

Your information will be stored if you log into your HAPPY DOT BOX account using the same email address and password.

Do I have to return my products if I cancel my subscription?

If you have received your box then you have been charged for that specific HAPPY DOT BOX. Your cancellation will apply to next month's box, so you do not have to return any products you received. We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges on our boxes.

Can I sample a box for free before I subscribe?

We are not currently offering any promotions to receive a box for free. Please follow all of our Social Media outlets to stay updated on all of our giveaways and coupon codes.

Can I send someone a HAPPY DOT BOX as a gift?

In order to gift our box, you would need to create an account with your email address and purchase as many subscriptions as you would like to gift. Fill out the billing information/payment method as your information, and fill out the shipping information to be the recipient of each gift box. If you are purchasing a one time gift, please be sure to cancel the account once your desired order is processed to prevent being unwanted billing. Cancelling the account once your order has been processed will not interfere with the shipment of the box.

You can purchase a monthly subscription and keep it active for as many months as you would like the recipient to receive boxes (or cancel immediately after the first payment if you only want to gift one box). Or you can purchase a yearly subscription and cancel the account after your first yearly payment to prevent the account from auto-renewing next year. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions about our subscriptions.

How do I review a product?

We are not currently offering any promotions for box reviews. Please follow all of our Social Media outlets to stay updated on all of our upcoming events and promotions.

Do you offer yearly subscriptions?

We sure do! In order to purchase a yearly subscription, please visit our website, www.happydotbox.com, and click the option to Subscribe. Our site will then give you the option to choose between a monthly, 6 month, or yearly subscription. The payment for the complete year is made when you first subscribe and is non-refundable. Your yearly subscription will re-new automatically on your anniversary date unless you cancel the account before your anniversary date arrives.

We hope to see you join us soon!

Why is there a Subscribe Now Button on my active account?

This button is a part of our website template and is there in the case that you would like to have a second subscription for a friend or family member. :D

How do I contact your Brands department for a future collaboration?

For inquiries about a future collaboration with HAPPY DOT BOX, please email us at info@happydotbox.com

How do I contact your Public Relations department for a future collaboration?

For Marketing or Public Relations opportunities please contact us at info@Happydotbox.com

 

Can I cancel my pre-paid subscription and get a refund?

Pre-paid subscriptions are non-refundable. We are not able to offer refunds or partial refunds. Once the order has been processed, you will be receiving each box that you have pre-paid for over the course of your selected subscription term.

For Example: If you purchase a yearly subscription, you will receive 12 boxes over the span of 12 months even if you cancel your subscription to prevent it from automatically renewing again next term. Your subscription will renew automatically every 12 months unless you cancel your subscription before the first 12 months are over.

 

Is there a Beauty Profile?

At this time, we do not offer a beauty profile or customized boxes. We try our best to only include items that all of our subscribers are able to enjoy. We also steer away from choosing any items that are age-specific or skin-tone specific. We are working hard towards being able to offer a Customized HAPPY DOT BOX-Experience soon!

I just joined HAPPY DOT BOX. What can I expect?

Welcome to HAPPY DOT BOX! Upon subscribing, you will be billed for your first box. Your first box will be the current month's box as long as you subscribe by 8pm EST by the last day of that month (UNLESS IT IS SOLD OUT).

For example: If you subscribe on June 15th, you would be billed for a June Box the date that you join us.

 

Once we receive your payment, your box will be shipping out within 5-10 business days. Once your box ships out, you will receive an email with your tracking information. Your next payment is automatically scheduled for each month moving forward.

We look forward to sending you Happy each month!  This includes, great products, self improvement information and a variety of non profits that you have helped contribute to from your HAPPY DOT BOX purchase.

Can your Social Media Team answer questions about my account?

Our Social Media Team is not able to answer personal account related questions. They are only able to answer general inquiries. All other questions must be directed to our Customer Service Team through the contact form on our FAQ page CONTACT@HAPPYDOTBOX.com.

Why am I on the wait list?

When we run out of stock of the current month's box, you are placed on a waitlist until a spot becomes available. Upon joining the waitlist, you enter your card information but will not be billed until a spot becomes available. Once it is your turn, you will receive an email advising that a spot has become available, your card will be charged, and your subscription will officially begin.

 

Is there any way to get off of the waitlist faster?

As of right now, we do not offer the option to bypass the wait list. If you would like to be removed from the waitlist, please email our customer service team and they will remove you.

 

I want this month's box, why is there a wait list?

We implement a wait list when we run out of stock of the current month's box.

 

My box is being returned to sender, what do I do?

If you have not received your box and your tracking information states that it is being returned to us, please log into your account and confirm the shipping address details are correct. If your address is correct, please contact our Customer Service Team at contact@HAPPYDOTBOX.COM so that we may further assist you.

How can I buy a box for mother's day?

To purchase a gift, you should:

  • Create an account with a different email address than the one you have on your current account.
  • Select the subscription term that you would like to purchase (monthly, 3 month, 6 month, or yearly).
  • Enter the gift recipient's shipping address.
  • Enter your billing information
  • Submit order

 

If you would like to prevent the subscription from renewing automatically, you may cancel the subscription after your payment is received. This will not affect the shipments of any boxes that have already been paid for, it will only prevent your account from automatically renewing according to the term selected.

Can I use a freight forwarding company to receive a box in my country?

You are able to use a freight forwarding company to receive a box in countries outside of our shipping range. As long as the freight forwarding company is located within the 48 contiguous​ United States that we offer shipping to, you can just update the address on your account to the address of the forwarding company. However, since we do not offer international shipping at this time, we can not accept liability for any box damaged or lost in transit to a country outside of our shipping range after it is reported as delivered to your freight forwarding company. If you choose to have your box sent through a forwarding service, you accept full responsibility for that transaction. You may contact our Customer Service team for tracking questions or questions related to your account. But they will not be able to offer assistance in locating or replacing a box after it has been reported as delivered to the address listed on your account.

     

What is the deadline for an address change?

Your box will always be shipped to the address on file when your payment is processed. Address changes must be made by the first of the month in order to take effect for that month's shipping.

For Ex: to change the shipping address for your June Box, you must update your address by your original anniversary date of subscribing. Example: If you subscribed starting on May 5, you must make changes to your account by June 4th of the following month.

Why am I having issues downloading the site, updating billing or completing my beauty profile?

The most common reason may be a browser issue. Happydotbox.com is not supported by Internet Explorer, Safari, iPads or mobile phones, which may lead to occasional problems when accessing your account dashboard. There may also be problems with billing, posting feedback or editing your Beauty Profile. To optimize our website’s functionality, we recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on a desktop computer.

If this does not resolve the issue, please reach out to us at contact@happydotbox.com. Also, if you can send a screen shot of the issue, it would be very helpful.

Shipping:

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship within the 48 contiguous United States, but we hope to be able to ship internationally in the future. As soon as we are ready, we will make an announcement across our social media platforms so please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates! We can't wait to get our boxes shipping worldwide to our all of our international customers!

Can you please explain the process from payment to shipment?

Of course! The process starts with a successful payment, then moves to packing, and lastly it ships from our warehouse to your doorstep! Once we receive payment, an order reservation for your box is put in with the warehouse. We have several variations of HAPPY DOT BOX each month. The version chosen is based on location, preferences and possible availability.

 

The packing process can take up 14 business days, as our warehouse crew works hard to position each product delicately in your HAPPY DOT BOX, while making sure the presentation is impeccable. Kindly note that sometimes there may be shipping delays and/or product back-orders due to a stall involving the vendor/brand fulfillment process.

Once the box leaves the warehouse, you will receive an email notification of its shipment along with a tracking number. With this information, you can monitor its delivery progress.

Where can I find my tracking information?

Your tracking information will be sent via email within 48-72 business hours from the date your box ships. Boxes ship out within 5-10 business days of purchase. Once your box ships out, you can expect to receive it within 5-10 business days.

My box was missing an item. What should I do?

Please email our customer service team with the name of the product that you were missing within 14 days of the date you received your box. Normally we contact our shipping partner to have them check the weight of the box that was sent to you. If the weight is not consistent with the weight of a complete box, we will send a replacement product for the item you were missing in your next box.

Can I choose which products or shades I receive?

Unfortunately, at this time we are not offering customized boxes. However, this is something we have been looking into and hope to implement in the future. If we ever do add this option, we will announce it on our social media outlets. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram, for updates!

My account is cancelled/expired. Will I still receive my replacement item?

Yes, your replacement item will be sent to you still.

Can I customize the products in my box to accommodate my allergies?

Are the products in the box cruelty-free?

While we strive to include brands and products that are cruelty-free, we do not currently sell an exclusively cruelty-free box. If you ever have any concerns regarding products featured in our box, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information. We are also working towards adding this product information to all items featured on our website to keep our subscribers informed, and to make it easier when you shop.

I don't like the shade of one of the items that I received, can I exchange it?

We do not offer any exchanges for products. At this time, we do not have the option to customize the products that each customer receives.
