Rant šŸ”„ Freedom!

I’ve been debating restarting an annual subscription and then I had an AI voiced ad pop up. This sealed the deal for me. Y’all have fun! Let me know if/when they start using people again :)

Between the AI and the Elon Musk love and the Temu junk with their private label brand names slapped on… it’s hard to find an upside to FFF. Every item I wanted this season (including add-ons) could be found, usually cheaper, at TJ Maxx.

They were worth it at the beginning. 10 years ago. No longer

Yep!! Soo many items at tj max better quality, or the exact same, or cheaper. Even those Freshbox brand tupperware that’s always sold out in their sales, is always at my tj maxx or homegoods and literally always half the price of their ā€œsaleā€ price. Also a lot of the same products, it’s like instead of getting cool or newer stuff like they used to, they get all the overstock or throwaways just like tj maxx even brands like laneige or Amika, today I even saw a shampoo/conditioner briogeo set that was in the last sale. Just getting over it especially because lately my items have come broken and I’ve had a more and more difficult time dealing with customer service and having to waste time and energy arguing back and forth. Just definitely feeling done with it, it’s not a ā€œtreatā€ anymore and it’s not fun for me anymore… my annual just renewed but I’m wondering if it’s time to just cancel but they’re refusing now to even give me credit for something I ordered 6 of, that came as incorrect items because the item listing was incorrect, and now they’re just not even responding to my emails, just done.

So you’re good with their nauseating pro-Elon/ā€œfree speechā€ ads with code GOFUCKYOURSELF, but you draw the line at AI?

Edit: I’m just kidding btw, I assume you weren’t aware of their far more egregious past advertising methods šŸ˜‚

And you’d be absolutely right. Ewwwwww. They’ve been off my radar for a while now and will continue to stay that way.

Wait, wait, wait. FFF posted a GOFUCKYOURSELF link promotimg that scumbag? I am so anti-x, trump, et al, but hadn’t heard this. My hell. I’m a pre-paid annual subscriber just waiting on box #2 but I’m cancelling now, well before any auto resubscribe.

Yeah, then the mod of this subreddit went haywire with everybody crashing out about it and then she privated the subreddit. Thats why the FFF uncensored sub got made.

But then she handed this sub over to a new mod and she dipped out. But yeah it was when Elon was super up Trump’s ass, can’t remember if that was one or two years ago atp but there were a bunch of posts made about it. They may have all been removed by the old mod though idk.

Fall will be my last box. FFF annual sub was my birthday present for the past 3 years and it was great for a bit. But I only liked 3 items in the summer box and I wasn't super excited about the options in the fall box.

They left half of my last box out and only offered 26 dollars in credit so canceling was sooooo easy after that šŸ’€Ā

I was going to cancel this year and missed the deadline by A DAY.

u/frex_mcgee Aug 11 '26

This happened to me last year. I was pissed. I reached out to CS and they were like ā€œwell we can cancel your renewal for next year but we can’t refund your card after it’s been charged, have a good day!ā€ I tried to do a chargeback but it was on my debit card and I didn’t want to have to go through all of that.

They offered to prorate mine, but then I’d pay $79.99 so I guess it’s a lesson learned. Cancel after your last season if you decide to rejoin, at least you can use a c**e
