Today I am writing about my experience with the lingerie website Adore Me which I received as a part of my XO Vox Box from Influenster.
To see a review of the other products I received in my box click here.
As a part of my box I was able to receive a free set of Adore Me lingerie or sleepwear if I signed up to be a VIP member on their site. At first I was incredibly wary of this because being a VIP member is essentially signing up for a subscription service. As a VIP you must choose an item for them to send to you between the 1st and the 5th of each month or they will charge a credit to your account to be used at a later time, unless you choose to skip the month (which you MUST log on and do or they will charge you). Because I had taken the time to make sure I understood what I was getting myself into, I decided to go ahead and try out the service. I chose a nearly $50 bra and panty set and at check out applied the code I was given by Influenster and received the set for free. I have included a photo of my purchase below.
I was obviously super excited about receiving this because I often have a hard time finding cute lingerie, but Adore Me offers quite a few nice plus sized options. I checked my shipping info every few days and though the shipment left the factory by the next day, I had still not received my shipment 12 days later. I attempted to call the company around day 10-11 and at first was told there was a long wait, and the next day they were closed. On day 12 I called UPS who told me I would need to contact the company. After this I decided to wait out the call line for an Adore Me representative and finally got a person after about 40 minutes (even though the original message said the wait was past 15 minutes, not nearly an hour). The representative was very nice and offered to send another one completely free and even gave me a $10 store credit! At this point I was very happy and was looking forward to actually getting my shipment. Within the next few hours I went to check the mail at my home and of course, there was my box, after 12 days.
I opened the box and the packaging was very nice and some pamphlets were included. I tried on my bra and it fit fairly well, though the shape was a bit pointy and the cups were kind of small. My biggest complaint about the bra was that I felt like the material was very cheap, I honestly have no idea why anyone would pay so much for low quality. I have only worn the set once, though I received it weeks ago.
About 6 days after I had called and spoken with the Adore Me rep I had not received the replacement set, though I did not need it. I then got an email notifying me that the set had sold out and I got a code to get another product. At this point I am a little put off by the company and feel like this has been a lot of trouble.
I am very happy to have received this set for free and to have been able to test out this service... However, I personally would not recommend this company at the time, especially if you want to receive your products by a specific date ( I really wanted to have mine for an event but did not). I do not feel like I received a product that was worth what most people would pay for the service and would suggest that if you want to test it out, not to sign up for the VIP membership unless you will be able to remember to skip the month.
"I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
