Got my order, and my mystery sample pack had Beauty protector (Yay!) and Le Metier de Beaute pencil in brown.

Looks like pencil is extra expensive, like $36, but it is not waterproof, and looks like it is moving pretty freely and does not set!

That's a great pick two!

On the lookout for my clicky trucks

This will be my first month with 2 subs not counting July because it was a welcome box.

Okay. So totally random question. Does anyone know what shipping speed the free shipping is? I placed my order Wednesday night and it says it will estimated delivery is Saturday. So it's going from NJ to IL in 2 days? That seems weird to me, but the last time I bought anything they were still with the other shipping company, so who knows?

 

[kawaiiwoofs]

What did it say? I wanted to order them!

Just uploading the email --

SO LAME.

Their shipping is SO much better now. They're using USPS priority I believe. I had one order come last week and it took 3 days from NJ to Alaska (shipped 7/26, arrived 7/29)! I have another coming tomorrow, ordered 7/30, shipped 7/31, due to arrive (per USPS) on 8/3.

Aww. That's a bummer! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The good side of this Bobby pin tragedy, is that seeing how popular they were, may encourage bb to give us more extras like this in the future. I for one, would welcome branded extras, especially if the are cute and not made out of paper.

Super lame. Didn't they just tell someone last month not to worry if they didn't get the pins because they would also be in future boxes? 

 

[brittneygg]

I wonder if they didn't expect them to be very popular and thought they would have a surplus to throw in boxes for the next few months.

I got the unclicky truck too woo. I went to check for a tracking number because I never got one last month and found out I had to log in to my account to find it lol

 

[mooreeeg]

Both of my accounts have August non clicky trucks. Woohoo we're getting closer!

Where do you go to see these?

 

[tabarhodes]

That's so weird about the bobby pins...although I can't say that I liked them.  I love bobby pins but these were way to difficult to use lol.

Where do you go to see these? Mouse over your name on the top right of the page and click on Account Settings. On the left of that page there is a truck and when your box ships it will have a tracking number to click on.

My order was supposed to arrive yesterday here in Chicago.  Its still in Jersey City according to USPS tracking.  I emailed BB CS this morning and they said they will look into it as even they acknowledge it is a weird situation.  They did, however, acknowledge they have no idea how my order was shipped two day shipping when I didn't select that when I placed the order.  Why has shipping to my building in Chicago (which is in a well traveled area and down the street from a post office) become such an issue lately?

I ordered Tuesday night, my shipping e-mail came Wednesday afternoon, and my stuff arrived today. I did free shipping and used 200 Birchbox points, so I paid nothing. It shipped USPS all the way, no UPS or New Logistics. I like that they are back to fast shipping.
