Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[feisty1]

My offer was I think 12 weeks free but I could pay for more at a discounted price.

 

[knightsgirl]

Okay, so I emailed Birchbox again regarding the Us Weekly subscription. I stated that I did not receive an email or insert indicating how to go about getting the subscription. This is the reply I received: Charity (Birchbox Ops) Feb 19 06:14 PM

Hi rachel,

Thank you for contacting us. We're so excited about our partnership with Us Weekly and hope you are too!

Since you are a current Birchbox subscriber, you have the opportunity to subscribe to Us Weekly with their special offer[/color] just for you!

Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns. We'll be happy to help!

Very best,

Charity Discovery Specialist

 

 

It is IDENTICAL! Verbatim! And my question was still not answered. Sooo I called, all reps were busy, so I left a voicemail. Now I'm waiting for a call back within 24 hours.

Did any other current subscribers get the Us Weekly sub? Or am I the only one who cares about it? Haha :blink:

I got an email with a link and a code for 12 free issues. The link didn't work so I emailed BB and they sent this link: https://www.usweeklysubscriptions.com/storefront/subscribe-to-us-weekly/site/us-birchbox-12201301.html?link=1019977&fpa_oc=BBOX I put the code and my mailing info in and it said I'd get my first issue in 4-6 weeks. I wonder why they're saying it's a discount now?? The site offered buying a full subscription at some discount, but that was in addition to the 12 free issues.

My box has been in Newgistics purgatory for 10 days now (since getting the shipping email). Should I be concerned yet or is this standard operating procedure to say they are "shipping" but take weeks to hand off to USPS? My non sub Birchbox orders are delivered relatively quickly so it just seemed off.

I think it's just Newgistics. Only one of my boxes shipped through them this month (the others went by UPS MI) and it arrived a whole week after the others. It said that it was leaving the shipping facility and then there was nothing for 7 days, when it was accepted by the USPS and then delivered on the same day.

Just got my box after resigning up after a year hiatus. I'm pretty happy with it all! I got the purple OPI, which looks really nice over Zoya Tomoko. Excited to try the BP oil...how do you ladies use it? Other stuff was more meh...tea, serum, and perfume.

I emailed as well. No response yet but I would love the 12 weeks free like the new subscribers.

What a rip..

Someone said it was similar to the Suave Moroccan Argan Styling Oil.
 Has anyone actually tried the Suave Moroccan Argan Styling Oil? My fiance uses the shampoo/conditioner from that line from time to time and it smells amazing and seems to make his hair really soft. Wondering if the oil works well or if I should shell out the BB points on the BP oil!

I have it in my closet but wasn't wanting to open it until I use up my currently open oil...but I might have to go ahead and try it.

I haven't used the oil but i just wanted to echo that the Moroccan shampoo and conditioner are awesome! I also can't tell the difference between Suaves dry shampoo and my $20 TIGI. I love finding drugstore products that work just as good or better than their pricier counterparts

Which Sauve dry shampoo are you using?  I just bought one and I'm not sure I like it better then Tresseme's dry shampoo.  Sauve's smells wayyyyy better but I don't think it absorbs as much oil.  But I also noticed three different types of Sauve dry shampoo so it may just be the one I grabbed.

Oh, on the topic of US weekly subscriptions. I have two (2) redemptions codes for the 12-week subscription to US Weekly. If anyone wants one or both, feel free to PM me. I won't be using them. First come, first serve.

Claimed! Sorry!

 

[kotoko]

I signed up for the US Weekly new subscriber deal and have yet to receive anything. Beginning to lost interest. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just received an order I placed this weekend but still waiting for my 2 sub boxes.,.. Mystery 2 was yes to blueberries pack of 8 towelettes and mannai sheer glow shimmer lotion

My 1st. Birchbox arrived today. I was happy it easily fit in my mailbox, I'm glad I bought a lager mailbox last spring. I was really annoyed at how long it took to get here. There was a snow/ice storm, so I'm hoping next month shipping will be faster. Since I am a new subscriber, I emailed them about the US Weekly magazine offer. I got an email saying I will get an email within the next 2 to 3 weeks.

What a rip..

If I recall correctly it stated on the info (the very small print) about the US Weekly collab that the free subscriptions were for the new accounts only. I had 2 regular and 1 gift accounts. I renewed the gift account for Feb and only that account received the free US Weekly sub. The BB rep should have clarified that you got a discount not the 12 free weeks. She made it sound like you got the same deal as new subscribers.

I was going to try and use the link you sent but it requires a redemption code

I guess the FREE subscription was for new subscribers and the $9.95 deal is for current? What a rip.. If you want my redemption code, let me know.  I was going to try and get the rebate but it doesn't look like it works.

 I haven't read all the threads so sorry if this is a repeat question: This is my first month of Birchbox and they e-mailed me the code for the US Weekly magazine. I already have a subscription to US Weekly so I would like to get a rebate instead of the magazine. Does anybody know how to go about doing that? Thanks!

You are amazing and I am sending lots of happy beauty thoughts your way for a good box next month!

The rebate was never actually advertised, and was just a page that was found randomly by a MUTer.  So far the only person here that I have seen apply for it got a notice that it didn't work.  

ETA: you might be able to to add those extra 12 weeks on to your subscription, I would email US weekly about it.
