Call both phone numbers and either not in order or a busy signal. I didn't order another year of smile box. They charged my card without permission.

Original review Feb 01, 2024
Did not approve charge of $47.88 on my card. I would like a refund and cancel the subscription. I have had your smile box for years and really liked it, but this last few months I haven't been able to log in my link that I used. The website has changed without any notice to me so I could decide if I wanted the new one or not. It is not easy to use and very slow. I have tried to call the phone number 360 797 **** getting a busy signal every time. I would like to talk to a real person so we can get this refund started.

Smilebox - Refund me my money
I did not purchase the offer that the company gave me and they charged me more. I asked for a refund and they company did not respond nor does their phone contact information for customer service work. I have sent two emails asking for a refund and I have not received a response with in the 42 hours they gave me.

To cancel automatic renewal

unaware that smilebox renews automatically on my credit card. when I go to me account its says that it is a basic account and free. I don't know how many years I have been charged for this! I no longer want this product? I have attempted several times to call 360-797-**** without success. I get a fast busy signal everytime I have called. I cannot find an ACCT number when Iog into my basic/free account!

Preferred solution: no further auto renewals on credit cards! Have not used SmileBox for several years. Why was I charged for a basic/free subscription?

User's recommendation: pay more attention to your credit card statements.

My creation slideshow will only play the music...no pictures

Updated by user Mar 24, 2023

It’s been two days now and i still haven’t heard back from SmileBox. My moms 85th birthday is tomorrow!

We finally have gotten the slideshow to play with music and pictures but the music is not synced with the pictures. The music starts playing after a long download...

Original review Mar 20, 2023
I've worked for at least 48 solid hours over the past several days to create a slideshow. It is now finished except for possible tweaking of the music we want to use.

But, when I go to play it to see how it flows etc only the music plays no pictures show at all. I tried emailing it to myself to see if that would fix it but same thing. only music plays and no pictures show up. I have 150 pictures with their text finished but now can't view it.

Please let me know what the trouble is. I've have plenty of other annoying issues with smilebox before that i could eventually figure out but never have i had a card only play with the music. please tell me i am just missing something simple to get it working correctly! Its very frustrating that I cannot get customer help.

The phone number only rings busy and there is no "chat" option either. My mom's 85th birthday is coming up and I would like to have this card for her surprise.

My aacount doesnt transfer to my new computer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been a smilebox member for years and years and years. I quit making slideshows for a very long time but still kept my subscription. I recently got a new computer and when i signed in it said that email was already being used by some one else. So i changed it to my gmail. Now ya'll don't recognize me as a customer and want me to start a new membership. My last payment to yall was June 25th, 2022 on my Chase freedom card for $47.88. I need to have someone help me please. I can't get order # or contract ID because i can't get to my smileox anymore. Thank you, Adonna Hudson.

I received acceptable solution

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My credit card was charged for a subscription that I canceled a week before. There are two versions of the Smilebox app, one for PCs and one for mobile devices. I canceled the PC subscription as I no longer used it. That payment was moved to the Mobile app subscription. This was an acceptable solution for me.

Smilebox Replied With An Acceptable Response

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was automatically charged for a subscription for Smilebox on my PC. That annoyed me as I had canceled it a week before as I no longer use that version. They switched the charge to cover the subscription I have for the mobile version to continue for an extra year. I do use that version of Smilebox, so that was an acceptable resolution.
