Yeah I got the email too. Even if they say boxes can take 10 days to reach the West coast, which is where I am, all three of my boxes just left new Jersey on Saturday. 10 days since they were shipped is tomorrow. They won't be delivered tomorrow, so maybe I'll say something to them about how long my boxes took this month.

Same here. Someone mentioned that maybe they forgot to update the origination point from NJ to TN, so they got moved to NJ because that's where the label says it should have been. I'm actually going through something similar myself. I printed out a shipping label, but I had put the wrong address to send it to, so I just crossed it out and wrote in the correct one. In the past month it's bounced back and forth from Nashville (where I want it to go) and Phoenix (which was the address entered) 5x. I've been trying to get someone to actually respond and help, and you would think that maybe someone would notice (at least from a cost perspective-- does USPS really want to keep flying this piece of mail around?), but so far nothing.

This happened to me in a trade once. My trade partner put the wrong zip code on the label, so she scratched it out & wrote the right one. Since most of the sorting is done by machine, when the package got to AZ it bounced between Phoenix & another nearby city for almost a week. Once she saw it was bouncing back and forth, she called the local post office. She was told they would have to add a note so they could try to catch it when it came around & put it in a pile where a person actually looks at the address. I got the package about 2 days later. If you haven't already, I would suggest calling a local post office.

This was my box with no profile info. I have yet to get a punishment box on this account. *knocks on wood* I will get a mani/pedi with this nail polish later on this week. Sometimes it's better to not even tell birchbox about yourself.

That is the box I am getting on my no profile account too! I currently like my second sub boxes better than my main sub. Wish my main sub was not yearly!

I wish the single, full size version of the Heirloom Pearls shade was available in the Birchbox shop.

the kind bar is dry as hell in my mouth. i'm not feeling this pumpkin flavor and i'll stick to my special k chocolatey pretzel bars.

i love the scent of the yogini perfume. now if it was actually in stock on birchbox's site that would be nice. birchbox has turned me into a perfume junkie...

If you haven't already, I would suggest calling a local post office. We've already called and have been told that they would try to intercept it, but it slipped through again and for some reason went to PA.

How long does it usually take to get a referral email you send yourself?  I've sent it twice, and after 15 minutes still haven't received either email. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also, I've never done the point thing for signing up, so this is probably a stupid question, lol.  How does that work?  Refer myself, then sign up for another monthly account on that new email...using the promo code when signing up.. then I get the extra points?  Or is it only for a new annual sub?

You don't need to send an email - if you go hover over your name in the top right corner, click on "Refer Friends, Earn Points!" It's on the same menu underneath account settings. At the bottom of that page, you can copy/paste your referral link. The sfbb100 code works for a monthly sub, so just sign out, go to the link you copy/pasted, select women's subscription, and write sfbb100 under promo code on the cart page. Check out, and voila! Points are all yours!

I have been ignoring the sfbb100 code all this time...I don't need to spend $10 on more beauty products, right? I already have a box and I already share one with my mom. BUT it's such a stupidly good deal. I can buy Clarisonic brush heads and Beauty Blenders in the BB shop; that alone makes it a reasonable purchase. And it's only $10. So I did it! Says it will ship on the 24th. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

PS: Was it you who had placed an order earlier last week and got a shipping number? Because I did too and I got a tracking number as well, but UPS keeps showing that it's not found. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! Thank you!!  I just signed up for my 2nd account.  This time I left most of the profile blank to see what I get different.

I just got "whoops we sent you the wrong tracking info" emails for two of my boxes that I haven't received yet. I'm pretty irritated about it on my main account, seeing as I already emailed CS to let them know about the issue with it never updating, and the girl who replied pretty much brushed me off. lovely.

I still haven't seen any photos of the box (#32) opened. I'm excited to see what color polish and the sizes of the samples. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's my box on my third account. I'm dying to see the polish color! So far, I've got 2 different colors coming in my other boxes so I'm really hoping for no dupes at all. 

I got Box 32 yesterday - the polish is the blue one, and the liner is silver. (And the KIND bar is maple pumpkin seeds with sea salt.)


Awesome! I got green in one box and the other has the white pearl. The only one I'll be missing is the gold.

I got that email and I don't see how it's a 'whoops' when you look at the tracking info.



That's my tracking info and it says it was 'born' on 4/4/14 but then 'launched' on 4/12/14.  It seems more like they forgot to mail out a group of boxes or they're reshipping them from NJ because the first location is from TN which is where their new warehouse is and the second is from NJ where their other warehouse is.  Either way, makes no sense to me.

if anyone has a TJ Maxx around them it seems ours ( in NJ ) is expanding the makeup section and they had different color Sumita eye pencils for 4 dollars. much cheaper than BB in case anyone is interested   they also have opi 2 packs for 5 dollars

I got that email and mine was sent Newgistics but Birchbox sent me a USPS link initially. It never updated on the link they initially gave me (not even box weight, just a dead link). Mine was a definite "whoops." Yours does seem confused warehouse wise and that is an awfully long gap from initiation to departure.

 

[Tigerlilly6309]

I received an email from Birchbox this morning that says they sent me the wrong tracking number and they provided me with the "new" tracking number. IT'S THE SAME DAMN NUMBER!    It still says my box is in Mount Juliet TN since 4/4/14.  I'm going to email Birchbox a little love note now.
