I ordered express delivery which is 2-4 days, it's my 4 day now and FINALLY i receive a notification that the order will be in 5 days and tomorrow I travel for a month. I wish I read these reviews before ordering. Very bad.

Stole from me
October 3, 2020

I was super excited to finally buy Nikkie Tutorials palette, but when I placed my order, the money was taken from my account, but no order was placed. It said they could not recognize my payment method.? But I still got charged.? Wtf. Still no response from customer service. This site is a complete scam

Never ordering from them again! No reply to my mails, no nothing! https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/shipping-delivery/index_en.htm here - under the EU LAW we should receive our deliveries within 30 days MAX!
I will demand a refund!

I ordered a morphe palette for my sisters birthday to be gift boxed and on receiving the parcel the product was not gift boxed. Beautybay does not have a customer services so I had to waste my time facebooking, tweeting and emailing them trying to get a response. When they responded they said they would refund the money for the gift box but that was not sufficient for me as my sisters birthday was in 2 days. It was ridiculous that they could not send me a gift box and made my sister really upset. I then had to change my plans to go and buy other materials to wrap my sisters present. Overall, poor service from beautybay and I will NEVER use their services again. Using Cultbeauty instead.

Horrible
May 19, 2020

I will never order anything from Beauty Bay again. I ordered on April 14th. It is now May 19th, still haven't received my order. I have tried multiple times to contact them, always an automated email in response. Nothing from them. They are nothing but crooks. Never buy from them!

The worst online shopping I ever had.
March 17, 2023

The worst online shopping I ever had. I ordered sth and couldn't cancel it after 30 minute because the order transferred to warehouse. But when I returned the order it took 45 days to refund and they didn't know the exact amount and what did I returned. They refunded in 2 times after 50 emails.
They didn't apology also.

Do not buy from this site. I ordered the products on 21/3 and spent over 100 euro. I choose the option for the fastest delivery and I still haven't received the package. According to the tracking the package did custom cleareance in Italy but then it was shipped to the Netherlands where it did custom clearance again. It hasn't moved from there. I contacted numerous times the custom service to have a refund but they keep saying that I should wait and that they are checking. They are completely unprofessional and they did nothing to solve the problem. I lost over 100 euro.

I ordered some self tanning drops and first of all, it took FOREVER to receive my package! Then, when I opened the box, my bottle only had about 2/3 of the liquid in it! It had spilled out all into the package and the bubble wrap around it! If you're shipping beauty products, seems like you'd know HOW TO PACKAGE properly! I saw the next day that the top of my hands were discolored from opening it! When I let the company know, they so rudely emailed me that I could return it at my own expense for a refund! Didn't care at all! Wonder how long a refund would've taken! I didn't order 2/3 OF A PRODUCT!

I ordered November 12th, more than a month in advance of Christmas. My order shipped out November 16th. Today, December 28th, I still have NOTHING. I paid $75 for absolutely nothing. I have emailed their customer service with incredibly vague, unhelpful responses. I am never, ever going to order from this website again, I advise you do the same.

STAY AWAY SCAMMMM
December 12, 2018

I ordered their origin palette on nov 23rd and it was dispatched on Dec 1st. I paid for expedited shipping with tracking and received none of the above. No palette, no expedited shipping, and no ability to track my package. To make matters worse, I requested 2 family members to gift me with the identity and evolve palettes for Christmas. I am hoping they haven't ordered yet because this means all 3 of us are scammed out of our money. Beauty influencers who support them and recommend this site should be ashamed of their selves as well! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

Wrong shade received in Texas from a box shipped from Florida but they asked for a video of item and photos and then fir me to pay for a return to the UK not Florida where it was sent to me from. The worst customer service ever and since I'm disabled and do t drive I rely on great deliveries and topnotch customer service and they fail big time with both.

I ordered some Ordinary products twice before, but on my third order (when the products came available - you have about a five minute window before they go again every day), my order was placed OK, but sometime afterwards, I received an email saying only ONE item was coming out of FOUR I had ordered and had confirmed were on their way at the time I purchased... that item was LESS than the shipping cost! Why would I just order one tiny bottle and pay that amount for shipping? It's unacceptable to tell people AFTER the order is placed that 75% of what they thought they purchased is not coming and then have the gall to still ship whatever is left (and still charging expensive shipping). Yes, I received a refund for the non-shipped products, but never again will I shop with this dodgy crowd. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Scammed by Beauty Bay
April 18, 2023

Scammed by this website. Ordered a Sauna Blanked for £431.20 and a cloth insert for £79.20 Sadly the sauna blanket was faulty, so contacted beauty bay who sent a return shipping label. Good? Nope... Once they received the shipment back they only refunded the £79.20 and have not replied to any emails or live chat requests since... Notice there is no phone number for customer support if you want another red flag. I've had to contact Amex to do a chargeback. Such a shame. Order Number VQUZ-7VPM-BZFC-N

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
November 30, 2021

Do not buy from here! Shipping takes long, they lie, no updates and really bad customer service! If there was an option here for 0/5 stars I would choose that option.

(UK purchaser) I ordered 1 jeffree star lipstick in unicorn blood, 1 of his skin frosts in mint condition and a gerard cosmetics mini setting spray; the products I actually received were correct and they were all in great condition apart from a bit of muck on the skinfrost's mirror, I wasn't too fussed about that. The tracking is absolute ****, at first it told me my order didnt exist and then it told me what depot my order was at, but nothing else. I was terrified that my order would be lost as there are many reports about missing parcels, and when I did contact their customer service asking about my parcel not existing they didn't respond. When my package got here it wasn't anything special, it was in a bag with just brown paper and wrapped in bubble wrap.

I bought products for £ 80.92 on 14/06/2013.
The package never arrived: after dozens of emails they suggest me to go to the Post Office (where I've been many times and never got any package), and then they offer money refund. They send me a form to fill out, I sign it and send it back. They told me AGAIN to go to the Post Office! And they deny the refound that thay promised.
I feel stripped of my money and taken for a ride.

Tracking
March 23, 2020

I'm from Australia but, I can understand with the whole COVID-19 going on right now especially when ordering things from overseas. I haven't gotten my package yet which is fine. However, they need to improve their tracking system because I placed my order on Friday 13th of March and the site said that I placed my order on the 2nd which was a wth moment.
They have updated it though thankfully, but it would be good if they could improve tracking especially when paying a lot of money for makeup you can't really get without driving for ages..
