I think you only get the welcome box if it is a gift subscription.  I signed back up 3 months ago and started with the regular box. 

Thanks! Good to know, that makes sense.

 
I got a shipping notice! 0.4950 lbs and it's supposed to arrive on the 10th.

Since July 24, so not as long for me. They must have opened up a lot of spots today!
Hmmm.... decided to go ahead and add myself to the waitlist. I wasn't sure if I'd want to try BB (a co-worker with similar hair type and skin care as me has been on the fence about continuing), but I guess I'll think about it some more while I wait. 

Oh! And congratulations on getting off the waitlist!

just got my shipping notice emailed! weight is .4950 package started moving the 4th
So exciting for you both! Just a question: do your boxes always ship this early? Or is it varied? I've noticed that mine always get shipped on the 9th (this is my fifth month) except for my first month which was shipped on the 10th. I was really hoping that mine would come early this month but no news yet!

For some reason, this reminded me of a birth announcement. Of course, you don't know weight until the birth, but still--.495 pounds with an arrival date. Maybe we should pass around gum cigars, lol!

This is pretty early for me, I always have to (well, not have to) check my page when it updates on the 10th because I usually get my box around the 12th-15th.

Haha, love this. "Congratulations! It's a great Birchbox!" I've never had kids before, but all the waiting frenzy we go through each month must be familiar to some expectant parents.

I never noticed until you mentioned it but I just looked and my box always ships on either the 7th or 8th of the month. The only exception being February when it shipped on the 9th.

i'm on the west coast so i never get my box shipped this early and definitely haven't had it delivered before the 13th so i'm partly excited...but partly cautious bc the first box is never great as far as i can tell

 
   I have a monthly autoship from Amazon for a case Huggies Premium Unscented Baby Wipes. I've tried several brands but like these the best. No kids, but I'm a caregiver to a disabled parent who is mostly bedbound. These wipes can be used all over when a shower isn't possible. I also keep them in both bathrooms for using after normal wiping.(got to stay fresh!) Also good as makeup remover wipes. Summer's Eve Unscented wipes are great to keep in your purse, they come in individual foil packs and are larger and thicker than baby wipes. If you've ever been forced to use a public bathroom that was totally out of TP, you'll know to never leave the house without wipes.

     I really hope I get the makeup items in my BB! Any box variations posted yet?

Enabler alert...well if you NEED a deal....here's one I got yesterday that I'm pretty excited about. BeautySage has a one time purchase for an editors pick box. It's 10 with free shipping and with the promo code PJXBLEE you get 11% off to make it $8.90. 5 products that you can see online. One of them is the Shea terra black soap folks have been raving about. So I'm pretty pumped. Happy shopping Cookie!

Mine pretty much always ships on the 9 or 10. One time I got my box even BEFORE a shipping notice and before the 10, but that was a total anomaly for me!

I saw this posted on another site yesterday and scooped it up. When I signed on it also offered me $10 off a $30 purchase. I've never purchased anything from Beauty Sage though so that may be why I received that offer. I ended up ordering the Suki Complete Care kit for Youthful Skin as well. You know, since I had $10 off and all...

Hahaha! This has been me exactly lately... I keep telling myself, "Okay, after thiiiis sale, I'll be done for the summer and I can hold off for a few months till closer to Christmas.." (since I'm on a college student budget) But then a new deal comes along and I'm like, OOH!
