and i'm the most impatient person ever. i ruin surprises for myself like it's nobody's business. presents. movies. books. you name it.

Don't peek!!

Agreed--if you just wait a few short hours you can go spoiler free! Peeking makes sense if you have several days of waiting left, but if I was just about to get my box I would rather be surprised.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR BOX PAGES TO UPDATE!! I love the 10th! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So if I go to bed now, when I wake up, my box page will be updated, right?  Right?  (Note:  Since I have tracking numbers even if they're not registering in UPS yet, I know the answer is yes, barring a technical glitch.  I just turn into an eighth-grader at a slumber party when it's time to go to bed, so I'm trying to figure out how to convince myself to just GO TO BED NOW.  There's some crap going down at work -- not conflict, just short-staffed due to medical leave of an undetermined length -- that makes me SO VERY TIRED, but I don't wanna go to bed!  One more episode/chapter/article/post/round of kitty skritches!)  (Okay, kitty off chest, episode of tv show over.  Let's travel into the future via sleep!  Yay!)

Both my boxes have just been born! Can't wait for my babies to be delivered by the US stork service! Hoping they are not twins!

Box twins!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I received the beauty protector in an earlier box but traded it without giving it even a smell. The bottle I received this month had opened and slightly leaked into the box and wow, it smells so good! I'm definitely not trading this one!

Thanks!

I'm new too this month and I didn't know about this thing where you can view the box on the 10th?!

I want to say it might be at the top where it says 'shop', 'magazine', 'box', and 'gift'. Hover over box and then select 'women's box'. I clicked on it and it says "Your First Box is Shipping Soon! While you're waiting, check out the Birchbox Shop!"

So it might be there... hopefully someone who knows can confirm or deny

Confirm, that's where your information loads! I am not 100% sure if it will load by the 10th if it's your first month, though. It might take a few extra days for your contents to load (they might load on time too, I really am not certain). Boxes are usually updated at 3 am PST on the 10th of the month.

 

[jkwynn]

Yeah, look under the box tab at 6am EST.

ETA - welcome boxes never loaded on time for me. I actually had to email them a few times to get them to update the website so I could review them before the next month's boxes updated.

Glad someone posted how to avoid getting a welcome box every time you gited yourself another 3 month sub.

Thank you! I'll keep a look out. I'm excited for my first box. I just got the clicky truck thing you guys call it and it says to wait 24 since it shipped so I can't wait to start tracking that.

I'm pretty sure as time goes on I won't be so obsessive

No amount of time can stop the obsession.. You, your friends, and your family will just learn to cope with the rampage that ensues around the 1st of every month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[emilylithium]

thanks for the tip everyone! 

what is the welcome box? If I bought two new birchbox subs, would i get the same two welcome boxes? I kinda want this month's stuff as well!

Don't say that!!

 My brother has already been rolling his eyes at me at every mention of a box and what other people have been getting

I don't know I am on vacation and I have been checking MUT on and off for a few days. Even ordered a few more subs. 😜

Agreed...I am pretty sure I'm going to stay up until 3 just to see what my box is, and I've been subbed for well over a year. If anything it gets much worse...

"Welcome boxes" are full of products that are not customized to your profile. These boxes are the first box if you have been gifted a subscription.

 

[ikecarus]

I've been sleeping at 3AM (pst) for the past two days... maybe I should make it a third night so that I can see what I'm getting... XD

 

[KayEss]

I'm reading a law textbook waiting for the clock to strike three...I did not pick a very good "time flies when you're having fun" type activity.
