Birchbox April 2014 - SPOILERS

[MaryJane80]

Boo... my box still hasn't uploaded yet.

Also, will the box still upload even though I had cancelled for May?

This is the first time I've been unimpressed Birchbox. Usually they are so on top of their shipping. But my box didn't even ship out until the 12th...even though they claim that boxes ALWAYS ship by the tenth. They didn't even apologize for anything. IT was just 'Oops we sent you the wrong tracking info!'

I just checked my tracking again. One the Birchbox and Newgistics pages it now says that it originated in Cranberry, NJ on the 4th. The USPS site still has an origin of TN. I'm perplexed!

BB100/SFBB100 came in handy today. my boyfriend just asked for a bunch of stuff in the BB shop! (his own Kor water bottle, some beard stuff, and misc. man things)

I would really hate to be a Birchbox customer service rep this week.  I imagine they get some pretty good perks though so maybe that would make it all worth it to me.  Have a rough day?  Just grab some nice bath products, a scented candle and a face mask on the way out the door to help unwind = ha!

With all the complaining and emailing Birchbox I've done this week, one would think that little 10.00 box of samples was a pot of gold!  I love my Birchboxes though, and I look forward to seeing that little pink box in my mailbox.  All in all, I would say Birchbox is pretty awesome.  I love trying all the samples every month and I love the points!

I got the oops wrong tracking number email yesterday on my 2nd account.  Like many others it was the exact same number as in the previous email.  Only difference is tracking in email #1 said it was coming UPS MI email #2 Newgisitics.  Now that account the box left Mt Juliet TN 4/4, went to Elizabethport NJ on 4/9/14 went to Fishers, IN on 4/10/14 and has not been heard from since.  Per BB it can take 10 days to get to the west coast and today is day 10 (calendar days, not business days which is probably what they count).

On my yearly sub/main acct my box was in Mt Juliet 4/8/14, went to and left Atlanta on 4/9/14 then Fishers IN 4/10/14 only to be never heard from again.

Is it bad that I'm already planning my 600 point haul?? Its shaping up to be my best one since I've never had this many points at once. I can't wait for May to get here now!

I'm planning a big haul as well, but a lot of things need to go back in stock for me to do it. I've got $120 worth of points and gift cards!

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.


I gifted my sister Birchbox and she didn't set up her profile either and this is the same box she got, I was SUPER jealous!

Oh lovely. My full size order left Mt. Juliet Tennessee too. I hope it isn't as slow as the way my boxes are coming to my house. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They ship the orders from the Birchbox shop by USPS 1st class mail.   I placed 2 separate orders on Friday and they were ready for me to pick up at the post this morning.  They shipped from Mount Juliet TN and were delivered to Boston.  Hopefully you'll have them in a couple of days!

If I end up getting the polishes reflected in the box pic's then I'm getting one of each in the collection.

whoohoo!

Mine was finally shipped on 04/13!!!

They sent me an email saying they gave me the wrong tracking # and provided me with the correct one.

And my tracking first said it was in TN then it said it was in NJ.

It looks like it departed NJ today since being initiated yesterday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What the heck Birchbox!

I'm trying to plan a purchase, and stuff I want is also out of stock. I'm thinking about getting the Meet Matt(e) Nude palette... Has anyone purchased this? What's your thought on it... I have so much trouble trying to make up my mind!! I need something for dark under eye circles too but I just don't know what lol All I know is I have points burning a hole in my pocket! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm such a bad girl. I keep saying I'm not going to do the next month... but the idea of being able to buy things in the shop is sooooooo seductive. I'm not really impressed with either of my boxes this month, but I'm also not going to complain because I basically gone them for free with BB100. >.> And the SFBB100 codes gave me another $20 on both accounts, and that's after I use gift cards to buy both of them. So now I have like $100 in gift cards (will be $110 next month). Aye. Hopefully the new Ruffian polishes ARE next month so I can get them and just stop. :X no more eyes bigger than eyeshadow pans after this.

I keep staring at my box picture trying to figure out if it's the purple or black Sumita eyeliner.  I'm too impatient to wait for it to make it's way to me.  Hmm... I'm leaning towards purple......

When did you order? 

I ordered Friday afternoon & picked two day shipping...figured it would ship out today & get here Wednesday, but so far no shipping notice! It just says processing. 

In other news, Birchbox still hasn't responded to my e-mail from Wednesday... I get that they are busy with shipping complaints, but come on.
