Weird... I just assumed everyone ALWAYS got the pillow packs. It seems like I get one every box, but I always recycle mine. Maybe I should start saving them

Thought you guys would like to see a box with an BP oil that wasn't smashed.
Oh and I got a pillow pack with the perfume and nail polish inside.
I took the tea out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> already in my desk to consume next week at work!

Did you join the group?
I was already a member of the "Birchbox subscribers" group, but I wasn't in the "Subscription box swaps talk" group. I joined that group and was able to post in the swap thread. Thanks!

In the past, mine has been out for delivery in St Paul, MN. Actually I think it said delivered even. But I got it the same day. I don't even live in MN. Lol.
My box finally arrived! It was #59, with the FakeUp, Healing Oil, Pore Refiner, OPI and Big Easy.
Don't know why I didn't expect the OPI to be so small, so cute! I got a good amount in my fakeup, was kinda surprised - will definitely get at least 3-4 uses. Some people mentioned their pores no more felt very light/empty, got lucky and mine feels heavier so hopefully mine was overfilled lol. If it weren't for the peely I would have been very happy with mine, but it's so inconsequential that it just feels like I'm missing an item.

I don't think mine is getting delivered.. from the status it looks like it was brought back and resorted. hopefully it makes it out to me tomorrow but I'm thinking Tuesday is probably more realistic lol

Mine routinely goes to Des Moines. Not really, but when they scan it at the USPS hub in Omaha they somehow get the 1 and the 0 reversed in the ZIP code and it says it's headed there. I usually get it the next day. I don't even worry about it anymore.
My second box came today and it was the 0.3670 lbs box. XD Super light...
The Joan Vass L’eau de Opale smelled like Michael Kors. XD And ironically, it was in its own pillow pack but it leaked anyway. Thankfully the pillow pack was the only thing affected.

Ughhhh usps finales scanned my box saying that they tried to deliver it but couldn't, and left a slip. However, it is clear that no one tried to deliver anything (no footprints new footprints in the snow- only dog prints) and there is definitely did not leave a notice. This is the crap UPS usually tries to pull with me and why I try to avoid using them. Also- birchbox easily fits in my mailbox.

I saw that status when I checked my tracking and I was pissed. It fits in my mailbox so someone isn't telling the truth at USPS. It better there when I get home from work or else I will be contacting some people.
LadyK
I want to go to there
My birchbox is stuck about 30 mins from me. I'm hoping it comes tomorrow and praying for an intact BP oil.

I was expecting a package once from Etsy Shipping showed it not going in the direction it should be going.I contacted the vendor who contacted ups/usps.They told her that my package was not actually at that location but they do what is called courtesy scans.So a package may not actually be where the shipping says.I have no idea why or how all these inner workings work.

It could also be the fact that the scanners the USPS uses are like 1980's technology. The USPS does not want to pay the money to upgrade the scanners. So they worked out a deal with AT&T to buy all their like circa 2003 clam shell/flip phones. It will essentially be a pocket wifi (does not make calls) to update the scanners as the mail person is scanning, not at the end of the day when the scanner is redocked. Sorry my dad works for the USPS so I hear about it A LOT!
My BB has been "accepted" since 2/12/14 but no movement /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I resubbed on the 10th. I got an e-mail saying expected ship date the 21st. Today I got a shipping e-mail with the tracking #. So, yay, I'll be getting it sooner, I hope. Tracking isn't working yet and my February box contents probably won't update for a few days yet. I was hoping for later shipping to avoid the BP oil fiasco.

I got box 46 also! A bit disappointed in it. The half up doesn't work well with my hair and the perfume is way too sweet for my taste. The breath mint "rocks" were pretty fun to try though!

Awesome.. BB was supposed to deliver my final box yesterday, and the mailman has skipped my block (which is shoveled) for two days. IN addition, they pulled the "you weren't home" shit, but I was was working at home. Now I have to wake up and make them redeliver.
Also, wtf does Opensky have a pershiable delivery with signature confirmation... and now even notify the customer??

The Half Up may actually work well in my hair, it's long but super fine, so we'll see about that. The perfume I'm sure I'll hate (gives me migraines), but I'm interested to try the rest! I don't wear lotion for the same reason I don't wear perfume, gives me headaches, so I may have to swap the body butter as well.
