I placed an order back on March 29th that still hasn't got here, it apparently got lost by the USPS. Called birchbox this morning and Megan sent out another package for me and gave me 100 apology points. And she said if the original one ever gets to me, I can keep both. 2 full size bottles of BP spray? Yes, please!

 (but I'm not actually frowning!) They gave me like 200 some points for a razor I bought that was out of stock and automatically took off the extra blades I was going to get with it.  It would have been really silly to send me the extra blades without the actual razor.  They have great CS with the order questions and with issues I have had with orders in the past.  

 
Anyone seeing more than 48 boxes yet?  Usually it seems like there are more than 75 variations.  It's April 7th already!

You could still get it if they're sending out different colors.

I don't know how likely that is. Birchbox has never done that to me before in the almost two years I've been a subscriber. The only things I've gotten "repeats" of were Twistbands, but one was technically a headband and one was a regular Twistband. 

 
oh wow! my box is almost here. shipped 2 days ago. i haven't even gone to the PO to pick up my march box yet.

The example I remember off the top of my head is nailpolish - it's fair game if the color is different.

Oh, and tea - different flavors.

also eyeliner colors, eyeko does not count as a repeat if its a different color. i'd imagine sumita is probably in the same category.

How many times has this actually happened, though? And the Twistband/Color Club repeats are usually different colors from different collections, aren't they? I don't think I've seen anyone get two colors of nail polish from the same collection.

I know some people definitely got the ruffian collection 2 months in a row (on the same account) and because i remember being surprised that birchbox was telling people it wasn't a repeat and that the collection was just so popular that they were sending it out again (or something along those lines). I also remember an instance of someone contacting birchbox about eyeko but I don't know how common it was.

 
Box 11 would be my ideal box! I can't wait to see what my box is. I got tracking a few days ago so Im guess it will be here tomorrow or wednesday!

I've kind of always felt like the eyeko situation was an example of when the CS didn't know what they were talking about (which happens fairly regularly).  It is just SO rare, whereas the nail polish brand repeat happens all of the time.

They did this for the Color Club Wanderlust collection, too. In that case, they said something like, "Well, your profile says you love nail polish!"
 
Some of my favorite boxes had the blush sample in it, which I already got. I believe they only sent out the one color variation for that one.

That happened to me, I got both the Gold Glitter and the hot pink Ruby Wings color changing polishes in two different months.

I think she was referring to getting two different colors of the same eye liner, the nail polish thing happens a lot.

I think the color changing polishes are in the same collection though, which she also made reference to.

 
Ha my box went from TN (about an hour from my house) to IN to GA and now it's headed back to TN for delivery.  Too bad I couldn't just go pick it up on 4/3 when it was ready!

ETA - both my boxes shipped on 4/3 from Mt Juliet - I hope they aren't dupes!!

I've received each brand of tea from Birchbox once, but have never had the same tea brand just different flavors.  I've received Color Club nail polish quite a few times, but always different colors and from different collections.

I got the Sumita in black before, but they said on the Sneak Peak video that they're sending out both black and plum.  I love plum eyeliners (they go great with my green/hazel eyes), so I definitely wouldn't be upset if one showed up this month!

Still no clicky truck for me
