Terrible customer service experience

I recently had an incident with a Benefit mascara that shed its tubes outercoating on a tube of They’re Real, it seems Benefit do not guarantee their own brand name as in order to help me, they asked for proof of purchase in the past 3 months, which, of course I no longer have. I had taken photos of said tube to send to them then binned it as the coating was all over the place making a huge mess.

It seems having their own brand name on a product is not enough for them to do something about a faulty product. I was and am extremely disappointed and will no longer be purchasing Benefit products in the future. It’s a very disappointing outcome and I feel it’s important to let others know so that they can be prewarned and aware that there is next to no customer service or guarantee so other customers can make a fair decision with knowledge of my particular experience before they purchase any Benefit products, which, are not exactly cheap to start with.

Worst customer service ever

Worst customer service ever. Im a Pro and ive placed 2 orders over the past few years. Both shipped but never got to me. I asked for them to reship and they refused. They claimed it was my carrier and refused to take an ounce of responsibility. They insisted on refund. It makes absolutely no sense.

If something happens with your online delivery, they will never make it right.

After waiting for more than 2 weeks for my order to be delivered, it came in a dirty and smashed packaged. The products inside got smashed and there were some black bits/dirt too. I sent pictures to their customer service email back and forth, and then I just had a call with them. I explained that this order was for Christmas gifts and there is no way I could give my nieces smashed boxes with dirt. Their response? Sorry not sorry, the items are still usable so no replacement for you. Heck no, this is probably the worst customer service I received from any big major brands/retailers in the US. Nah, never buy benefits products from their website again. This experience left an awful impression that I may even stop using their products altogether.

I received a broken bronzer 3 weeks after ordering it. Benefit asked for front and back pictures to review it. After one week of waiting again i called, spent 20 mins on hold and they said they don’t know why anyone hasn’t gotten back to me. No apology whatsoever. I asked to speak to the supervisor and the representative said there is no supervisor available. I will never order from benefit cosmetics again

Excellent service with Cherrys

Excellent service I went to Benefit on Tuesday and a wonderful lady called Cherrys did my eye brows wax and tint, she was wonderful she also did my make up which I have struggled with for many years. She used the pore professional, this is amazing very easy to use and looks great, followed by the hoola I actually have cheek bones, the mascara used was bad gal bangi which gave volume. I’m very fair so this was amazing to see I now have eye lashes, then the floral tint, this was lovely, I never like the feeling of lipstick but you honestly don’t even feel like it’s on you and it lasts. Just want to thank Cherrys for giving me my confidence back to feeling good xx

Bad customer service - but I guess it depends who serves you

Had really good service at Benefit Boits in Chichester a few days ago. Went back today to buy 2 full size items and receive the free full size mascara. Eventually the assistant served and I asked where the full size free mascaras were. She pointed and sais 'well they're over there'. I said no, I've looked and cant see the free full size mascara. To which she replied, 'well, you'll just have to have the mini one wont you'! I immediately put the £80 worth of items back and left. Extremely bad customer service. I'll now move to another brand and will never shop at Benefit again.

I absolutely love their brow products

I absolutely love their brow products, I have oily skin, and they truly are the best! I love that they are cruelty, free, and offer many colors and formulas. I feel like they are very middle of the road price wise which is nice, and they do offer travel sizes so you can try products before investing in the larger ones. I highly recommend benefit cosmetics, especially for brow products.

I wrote a review but funny enough-it got deleted! I bought two Benefit brand mascaras and they are horrible with non-existent benefits. Nothing comes on the brush to your lashes so it’s like you are going through the motions without any outcome. (Think of the Emperor with no clothes!). I contacted Benefit three times and they refused to stand behind their product and basically said, sorry, not sorry. I paid $50 for these two mascaras and am now out $50 and no working product. This was the first time buying Benefit, and definitely the last. My mom and sister also bought this product and were very unhappy with it. Don’t worry waste your money.

WORSE EYEBROWS TINT EVER!!!!!

First none of the benefits products were used! I had a brow tint and a random no branded diy was used! For the whole It took literally 5-7mns to get it done only to see the worst result EVER! The assistant didn’t make a good shape neither were equal! Seriously a waste of money! I express my disappointment and she didn’t really care about it. NO WORTH IT AT ALL!
