Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS offers displeased customers from advent calendar a full refund or store credit
A TikTok creator posted a video unboxing the Kardashians’ SKIMS advent calendar. The calendar reportedly sold out after its launch, with interested shoppers placed on a waiting list. The video went viral, gaining more than 45 million views. The creator appeared disappointed while opening the products and said, “Kimberly, you’re genuinely about to piss me off. This is way too expensive.”
Following the video’s circulation, online users criticized the brand, arguing that the calendar’s contents were not worth the price.
One user said, “You can get better stuff at Dollar Tree ?.” Another user commented, “They literally did this so u spend $150 and more with the gift card cuz they knowwww no one’s gonna just spend $150; all it took was $20 worth of bullshit to make people spend $200 or 250 lmfaoooo.”
One Instagram user also wrote, “Trash. $150 would go a long way at the Dollar Store for way better stuff. Who the hell is still buying from these grifters? ?.”
Following the backlash, Kardashian’s brand has reportedly responded by offering refunds or store credit. A representative for SKIMS told Page Six that the company had received customer feedback and was offering buyers a choice between a refund and store credit.
The representative said, “We’re aware of the feedback some customers have shared about the SKIMS Advent Calendar, and we’ve listened carefully. We understand that for some, the calendar didn’t meet expectations, and we have personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar and offered them a choice of a full refund or a SKIMS credit to put towards other products.”
The brand has reportedly emailed buyers with details about the refund and store credit options.
Kardashian launched SKIMS in 2019. Since then, the brand has attracted attention for its campaigns, products, and online controversies. In 2024, she faced backlash over a SKIMS campaign featuring her wearing a rosary.
