I'm feeling the same way! I received an email four days ago alerting me that my box (# 3) had shipped, but there is still no shipment information when I click the link :/

hmmmmm i've had my tracking since the 9th and it still hasn't updated. and i swore i got an email saying it shipped yesterday but when i went through my email to find it, i couldn't. i haven't seen anyone with box 28 post that they've received it yet so maybe it hasn't actually shipped yet.

Add a bag of the macaroons (they are $5 and qualify the order for free shipping)!!

Edit: I think the code bbshop still works for free shipping too if you don't want to add something to get free ship.

I am also waiting on a box with the mattifyer (#38 I think) and haven't received a shipping notice email but it did update today finally,  its still in Jersey as of this morning.

Genius! I added the macaroons and used $20 worth of points. Excited! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Uh oh- that's not a good sign. Wonder what could be holding it up.

For some weird reason, I always get BB thru Postal service. This time, no. I'm getting it thru UPS. According to the tracking info. on UPS website stated that it was accepted into this location that is about 15 mins away from me on April 9th. Project delivery date was April 11th. Nope, I never got my BB yesterday. It said that it's currently transit (possiblity transferring to Post office) right at this point. Does it really take 2 days from this city to my destination, even though, it's only 15 mins away? I'm hesistant whether if I should call or not.. I wanna enjoy my BB!!!

I've been on a birchbox break for a whole and resigned when I got the email about the Women's Health box. I'm glad I did! I'm very pleased with what I'm getting! From memory I'm getting the super goop cc cream, Kiehls line serum, nexxus hair stuff, a body wash, and something else I can't remember but I will use everything!

Thanks guys!  The cheek stain didn't show so much in this picture b/c it's crappy lighting and a crappy iPhone camera.. But thanks so much for the nice words /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Birchbox uses UPS mail innovations. So UPS takes your box to a hub near your house, and then the postal service actually delivers it to your door.

I figured it out, apparently, UPS gave me the USPS tracking info, so copied/pasted it on USPS tracking website. Now, it was received at 3 30 AM today at my city's post office meaning that I will get it TODAY!!! This is the first BB arriving one day late..

But first it likes to sit at the final hub for days like mine currently doing.

You guys, I woke up with some small hives on my hands. I think I am allergic to the LaRocca cream. I went through everything I did and ate yesterday, trying to come up with some other explanation, but there isn't one. I'm so sad about it, because I really love it. But the good news, is that this lotion is pretty natural and doesn't have all that many ingredients, so I may be able to narrow down what I am allergic to.

About birchbox returns, are they going to give me back the points I spent?

It's definitely not a bad box but I was SO looking forward to the CC cream and the beauty protector in box 13 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
 
[SIZE=1em]Should I still email BB?  [/SIZE]
 
 
Yeah there are some nice things in there, but I get what you are saying about the CC and beauty protector! I would be disappointed as well. I think you should at least let them know. It might be a glitch or something. The worst that can happen is nothing, but who knows? They might give you some extra points or a free box, etc.... Because something definitely got messed up on their end!

I really want that home box they just put out, but I also don't want to pay $5 shipping! Grrrr!

Use code bbshop and see if that takes off the shipping

Would you take pics of the polish? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Photos as requested. I apologize for the poor clean up, it was late and my apartment was pretty dark last night.

The polish applied matte (left). It took two coats to get it even. I'm not sure that I like the formula. It was a little thick in my opinion and started drying a little too fast so it started clumping (see middle finger). I didn't think I paint my nails that slowly.On the bottom is a picture of my nails indoors. On the right is a picture of my nails outdoors.

I had Poppy. The Red Wing website says Poppy is scented..it smelled like polish to me.

I took a video but I don't want to put it on YouTube to put here. The color changes pretty fast, about 10 seconds.

Yep! They'll give you back the points and the money spent in the same amounts you used to purchase. If that's the only thing you bought, it should be a pretty easy return. If it's not the only thing you bought, they have a calculation they do that decides how much cash and points you get back for that one item, though it still should equal the price of the item in the end.

Wow! I honestly wondered how well the color changing worked, but it's pretty cool!

Yeah, I went ahead and emailed them and let them know how I was really excited about those items in particular.  We'll see what they say, hopefully I can sample them later or something!

aww that's such a shame! I've never returned anything to BB so I can't answer your question, but I hope they do give you the points back /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
