So....   I saw this...

And even though I didnt like the box I got this month.  I cancelled my sub and resubbed right away using that code you suggested.  Bam.  200 points.  Now.... What to buy, what to buy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

   I have visions of last month's Coola in my head...

Greatttt... I couldn't get rid of the Coola and now I will have a supergoop wasting away with it!

I used all of the coola in one swoop by accident! I squeezed the tube to do a swatch on my hand and I guess I was too vigorous, bc it all came out...my hand felt nice, though...

I think the last Coola I got went out as an extra in a swap to someone unsuspecting whose wishlist said she liked Coola.

This got you a second April box right?

2 boxes....2 totally different profiles....4 out of 5 items are dupes. WAAAH!!!! Lol In other related news, I got shipping on both at the same time. One box arrived yesterday and the other is still sitting since the 4th. I tried the brow gel, I like it. It doesn't crust up like most brow gels do. I didn't like the KIND bar, I never jumped on the sea salt band wagon. I probably would have liked it without the salt. The only reason I didn't get 5 out of 5 dupes is bc my main sub already got the BP last summer. Do they keep things going for that long? Don't get me wrong I love it but just wondering.

Didn't work for me. 😕 only the extra 100 points. Oh well.

Yes.  Which is a bummer but maybe my second box will be better.  I mean... my first box... pretty much anything will be better /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My tracking is stuck on this:

April 4, 2014 , 1:14 am

Picked Up by Shipping Partner

MOUNT JULIET, TN 37122 

No updates since. Is this normal, or should I be concerned it's lost? Usually there's only a day or two between the first and second tracking updates. I've had awful problems with USPS lately though so I'm really not surprised.

Me too!!

So I got my tracking days ago and it still isn't in the system, and it's been past the "wait 24-48 hours for it to show up" timeline. I emailed Birchbox, and I was like, is there any way this is just an incorrect tracking code? I didn't imply that it was missing, just that I wondered if the tracking code was wrong and that's why it never updated. They emailed back and said they'd send me another box! That's crazy!

Yay!

The funny thing is that I signed up for this month using the BB100 and got 100 points.  But the SFBB100 is obviously better!  Although I wonder why we got 200 and some only got 100??

Did you try putting your tracking number into usps? And I got 2 extra boxes last month for all of the shipping craziness - 5 boxes total!

Mine hardly ever update through the email, I just copy and paste the number into USPS and it shows up.

 

[Kereneko]

Bleh box 27

Sumita Liner

Beauty Protector

Supergoop

Color Club

and a healthy grain bar..

I guess Im excited for the liner? I hope its a fun color.

Not my favorite box. Oh well.

oh good idea! I was just clicking the link to the UPSMI page. I put it into USPS and it says it was picked up by shipping partner on April 4. I think they consider it lost when it hasn't been updated in 3 days or more. So that must be why they're sending me a new one? I really wanted that color club nail polish though!

Awesome! Glad it worked for you too!

I'm glad it showed up for you, but yes, maybe that is what they are thinking? If it hasn't moved since April 4, where is it then?

Lots of pictures from the Birchbox Mally event on Instagram. I wish they carried more of her stuff. She has an eye brightener cream that I really want to try!

I had used the SFBB100 code on a different account last month and got 100 points like I was supposed to. No idea it's giving 200 now. I'm not gonna complain! Also, I'm fairly certain we won't get another. April box, but that we just prepaid for May. I'm fine with it either way it goes though. My boxes I ordered last month in the middle of the month were way better than my yearly sub.

All 3 of my boxes started the tracking system on the same night, within 20 minutes of each other. One of them I received today in Iowa, the other two didn't update until this morning and they are still in NJ. Makes no sense.
