Not only does Glambot sell used makeup, but they as well buy makeup from those who send in products. Glambot claims that you can send in a box of 20 or more items from brands like Kylie Cosmetics, Kat Von D, Urban Decay, and more high in brands. Despite saying you can make a good amount from your used or even brand new makeup - they hardly offer anything. Many complaints as well mention that the company tends to take the products and not give money at all.
After watching a couple reviews on sellers experience to Glambot and as well looking up more on the company through Google - it's safe to say to STAY AWAY. YouTube videos show people sending in brand new unopened products from companies like MAC, Urban Decay, etc.. and only getting offered $60 for all 20 pieces of makeup they sent in! On a website named SiteJabber, you can clearly read the distressed reviews from multiple people complaining of being scammed from both selling and buying through Glambot. I as well decided to look at the Better Business Bureau for their take on Glambot - and although the website is not accredited the system gave Glambot a whopping D rating (1.77 of of 5 stars).
Just by typing in Glambot to YouTube the first videos that pop up are real customers and sellers honest reviews - and TONS of sponsored reviews. If you dig past all the sponsored YouTubers who's either been paid or gotten free products, you'll find numerous videos complaining about how badly they were scammed and treated by Glambot. Below are just the top videos when searching Glambot on YouTube and the second screenshot is of their FameBit ad offering MONEY and free makeup to big YouTube and Instagram accounts.
MY EXPERIENCE
Within reading others reviews for this website, I have personal experience with it as well. I've been both a customer as well as being sponsored at one time as well.
My buying experience. I ordered a Kat Von D product and ended up being sent a It Cosmetics brow pencil that was so dry it'd be competition for the Sahara desert. I opened a claim for this through PayPal as well as returning the item with tracking and a required signature.. I made sure that the box had to be signed for - but since nobody at Glambot wanted to sign for the box it couldn't be delivered. USPS held it for their maximum of 30 days which then it just got sent right back to me where I instantly trashed it.
My sponsorship experience was a HASSLE. I saw an ad on FameBit where Glambot was looking for reviews and they were sending out samples to bloggers for posts. Myself being a makeup lover agreed to doing a review for Glambot. A week later I got a box in the mail from the website, but opened it to find nothing but a dirty card that states they they clean their products. There was no makeup in the box, zip, zero. I messaged them on FameBit telling them about the box and they kept telling me to check my Instagram DMs when I had absolutely NO DMS. They messaged again asking me to check - again nothing. Then this company started commenting on my Instagram account telling me to check my DMS, so I commented back telling them to resend any DMS they sent me. Days pass, and 2 weeks later they comment to me again to check my DMS. I HAVE NOTHING FROM GLAMBOT. This kept happening until I finally blocked Glambot. Here's some of the FameBit messages below.
My advice to others - DO NOT TRUST GLAMBOT. There is plenty key points that scream AVOID!
- D rating on the BBB
- Not replying to the BBB on claims
- 1 star rating on SiteJabber
- Sending out wrong items
- Sending out dirty items
- Stealing makeup that's sent in and offering nothing
- Stealing makeup that's sent in and offering barely anything
- Immense amount of YouTube videos that are negative experiences
- Most if not ALL positive reviews are from sponsored and affiliated influencers
- Not applying FTC law to the influencers sponsored (not having them state their video/post was sponsored
- Deleting negative comments off their social media accounts
- Products giving infections
- Products having mold
- Products being dried out
- Selling used products at only a dollar discount.
