A couple of weeks ago Madluvv contacted me on Instagram if I would like to partner with them. I said yes and they send me a $50 coupon code that I could use on their website. I thought the brow stamp looked interesting. It was $49 and so I added it to my cart, applied my coupon code and ta-da: to my surprise I still needed to pay for shipping (a little over $7). I emailed Madluvv that I would not pay for shipping, assuming that this must be a mistake.
I received no response. Ok, I thought. I don’t care. In the trash the email goes.
A couple weeks later I received another email, asking why I still have not used my $50 credit.
I responded again, that I won’t be paying for shipping.
And then I received this email that I actually thought was hilarious!!!
What did I think was so funny? This sentence:
“Unfortunately, we will have to open your affiliate spot to other creators who are on our waitlist for this exclusive program”.
What bs! Like they have a WAITLIST for people desperately trying to get on that Affiliate list. LMAO! That is just such ridiculous nonsense y’all. Like they have only 10 spots available. Imagine Amazon saying: I am sorry, you can not become an Affiliate. We have only 500 spots available.
I am a content creator for 11 years now and I have NEVER EVER paid for shipping and I will never do so either.
Now, you could say “Maybe this is a really small brand that can not afford the shipping cost”. According to google Madluvvs yearly revenue is over 5 Mio. So there is that.
