I had a missing item before and they were not able to send another one so they gave me 100 points plus I got to review the rest of the box. Their customer service usually makes things right.

i hate hate hate when anything gets sent to my house NOT through usps. The FedEx/UPS people leave the package slips and packaged outside our doors, if they can make it in, in my 40-something unit apartment building. My best friend sent me my birthday gift from UPS. Tracking says it was delivered but I never got it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it feel really bad. I'm incredibly paranoid about my mail and I get most, if not all, things sent to my sister's home or boyfriend's mom's home.

Also, another little USPS rant: i ordered pants from Ideeli and they came today. Ideeli sends a lot of their clothes in bags so it doesn't take up as much space (which is appreciated since it means I don't have to run to the PO to pick it up). However, the back was torn =_= like open to the point where someone could've easily stolen something if my items weren't just pants. I got another package from them yesterday with a dress order and I noticed belatedly it also had a sizeable hole in the plastic.

This is NOT the first time my mail has been tampered with. My best friend sent me a package from St. Louis for my birthday in a plastic-type envelop and when it arrived, there was nothing inside. All I got for my birthday was a "sorry we lost your mail" back from USPS. Even though I didn't lose anything this time, i'm really really pissed.

Well, I got fed up with it and reported her the last time she failed to deliver my package on the right day (she lied and told her supervisor that it was not on her truck) Well, you can imagine my surprise when as I'm leaving my house that night I find my missing package thrown against my front door and sliced completely open. She actually vandalized my mail all because I reported her for not doing her job! 

 

That's horrible! I hope you  get a new mail person.

That is so messed up that you cant even have things mailed to your house.

Congrats, that's awesome! I also loved Evologie's blemish serum. I also received a sample from birchbox and then ordered the sample packing for a couple bucks from Evologie. Just went to check out your blog and I love your nail art. Also, we were box twins this month and last! 

Aww thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm so glad you like it, I could barely call it nail art haha, but thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> we are box twins!! XD

I'm getting this box too and am also pretty excited! I don't think any new items are in there but I haven't had any of these since I first subbed in January, so I'm excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It does make me wonder, how they decide who gets the new items though?

I'm getting the same box! I'm really excited about it actually. I'm not getting the polish or the mattifier, but I really wanted to try the beauty protector and cc cream. Plus, I think that means we get 60 pts for reviewing rather than just 50. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And no food product either! Yay! I wonder if we'll get a whole lip butter? That would be awesome. So, no I don't think this is a "welcome box" because I've been subscribed since january, but some of these I've seen before, but that's not unusual for them to still send out items that were new a few boxes ago. I think the Caudalie is new? Maybe?

I mean, I might just be paranoid...but I honestly don't even trust my text books to be sent here. If I *am* sending something to my address, I try to catch the UPS delivery person if I see him a few blocks up. 

If its USPS the boxes are small enough here that they usually leave a little slip for me to pick it up - which I'm totally okay with.

You are right it is box 2! I saw someone on here this AM that posted it as 3 so I copied!  haha It was before I had coffee so that could be a factor!

I will report my findings as I know it takes like a month for them to get to you in Germany!

I'm getting box 13!! I don't think I've seen anyone else with it.  Have you tried the Yes to.. products before?  I'm hoping they're awesome since we are getting THREE of them in one box!!  At least we get six products to review for points /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I actually have, specifically the yes grapefruit wipes.  I've really enjoyed those so I'm excited to see how the rest of the products turn out, so random that we are getting three different YES products! But super happy to have six items to review.

I can relate!  We live on a busy street and UPS leaves the packages on the porch.  Unfortunately our mailbox is on the side of the house and not secure so Christmas money his grandma sent us and my December Ipsy bag were stolen.  We order from Amazon a lot and have Prime so we have to have it delivered to my husband's work.

USPS lied and said they left a notice yesterday( for my BB) so I asked my husband to check mail before he went to work as if they did not deliver it I would have to go pick it up.  Sure enough it was delivered today!  My dad who works for USPS told me they have like delivery and guidelines to meet and if they do not want to deliver a package or forget to some workers scan it notice left, then redeliver so their numbers look good(even though they are not supposed to).

That's a bummer about the Christmas money /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> One of my coworkers ordered an Xbox connect through amazon to her apartment and ups just left it outside of her building so of course it was stolen! I felt bad but with a big ticket item I would've shipped it elsewhere! I felt so bad for her!

My mother in law has the same problem her mail man just leaves packages in front of the house doesn't even ring the bell to see if anyone is home.

I love Kerastase products you should definitely try them my hair is so much better after using them. I usually get samples from my hair dresser but I think you can buy the trial sizes from their website.

Thanks! Will look into ordering there directly. my hair place is alterna and bumble but no Kerastase. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sorry to hear your Christmas money and packages got stolen. Its crazy all the things these people are getting away with.

 You're welcome! you should sign up for their email list because sometimes you can get additional samples with your order or other freebies.

Has anyone made a bb order and added the corebamboo code? I have been trying to add it and it says invalid code.
