SmileBox Reviews Summary

Smilebox has garnered a reputation for offering creative design tools that users appreciate for their potential and ease of use. However, the company faces significant criticism regarding its pricing structure, with many customers feeling misled by subscription terms and unexpected charges. Complaints about poor customer service, including a lack of phone support and difficulty in canceling subscriptions, are prevalent. Overall, while the product has loyal users, the negative sentiments surrounding billing practices and inadequate support suggest a pressing need for Smilebox to enhance transparency and customer service to retain its user base.

I have used Smilebox for at least 10 years. I have a premium membership and send/post a creation at least once a month. My wife and I travel full time in our RV.

It is very easy to create an exciting presentations with your pictures. All the designs are up to date and colorful. There is also a large selection of different designs. It is so much nicer to put your pictures in a smilebox creation than just emailing the images.

This is a great service. It is easy to use and the quality is superb. The only problem I encountered was in rearranging the photos once I had the initial setting. It would be nice to be able to do that, but if you arrange them in the final order you will be wanting them in before creating your final project, it is perfect.

Smilebox is user-friendly and a great way of sending your best wishes to someone special or inviting your friends to a special occasion. The site is trustworthy and you can cancel membership any time you want, but then also resume membership when needed.

This is how you deal with them guys!
I clicked on this offer, but did not do it. A week ago I saw $47.88 taken out of my checking account. My bank shows a phone number along with name and address. I called this number and was told they have no phone for customer service. Of course 3 seconds later your holding a dead phone. I sent emails which kept saying this issue was resolved. But I did not have my money back. So Monday I spent on research. I tracked down their media company. Then found their stock on NYSE. I called them and told them I was filing a complaint with the stock exchange, was reporting them for cyber crime, and filing a lawsuit against them all for bank fraud. Today, I received a message stating my money will be back in my account within 2 days. I just wanted to warn others about this offer.

Same experience as others here. Even worse, never got a response to emails requesting cancellation of recurring charges. Eventually had to change our credit card number to get away from them. What a pain. Total fraud.

The site says sign up at 3.99 but I was charged 6.99 instead. When I wrote in to ask for an explanation, I simply got a curt "3.99 per month billed at an annual cost of 47.88
6.99 per month billed at 6.99 per month."
That's ALL he wrote in the reply. Great customer service Smilebox,
