Bahahaha I was disappointed too when mine came like that!  I didn't like my box and thought that the worlds were aligning when it went missing!

I know. Getting extra points is part of the fun.

If I get the same box I'll be thrilled!

If I get TWO of that box I'll be freakin' out!  I got myself all excited over the Caudalie Cleansing Water (I've been using a Sephora one and it's annoying how oily it is, but it's the only thing I have that will take my mascara off!), and I got so sad when I thought I wouldn't get to try it!  So if I end up with two, that is fiiiiiine by me!

My box finally shipped!

....to my parent's place. In Pennsylvania.

I live in Iowa.

Goddammit.

They finally acknowledged that mine is lost as well. I guess 14 days (I went back and counted again) is even too long for something to sit at Newgistics. I'll be pissed if I don't get the original box. It's my first Birchbox and it's not off to the best start, but I actually like everything I am supposed to be receiving. Fingers crossed the new one is the same. Hell, that it actually arrives!

Anyone else tried both of these? I swear its exactly the same! lol. And I ordered the limited edition box and its already almost to me. I should have it by tomorrow. Thats really fast!
did you pay for it to be here by friday? i'm a little peeved that i paid 7$ to receive it by friday, but my tracking says it'll be here monday. I wanted to use some of the stuff this weekend, and now I won't have it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I dont think so. I chose the $5 shipping. I might not have it tomorrow, but i should. It left tulsa oklahoma this morning and thats the town it goes to before coming to my town. It should get to my post office by the morning and then out for delivery. either tomorrow or saturday. Maybe I live closer to where they shipped it from than you do?

*I went and looked at my tracking again and mine doesnt have any kind of estimated delivery date that i can see. They would use the same shipping for everyone, wouldnt they?

They gave me an option on the LE box. I could do 5$ standard, 7$ to receive it by tomorrow, or like $20 to receive it the next day.

Butttt they're kind of out of the doghouse, I wasn't suppose to receive my February box until March, but they shipped it early! It should be here next Wednesday/Thursday is the estimated delivery date. I've seen some of ya'll talk about which box# you're getting... do you find that out on the website or just when it gets here?

You have to change you address by a certain time for it to ship where you want it to go. Usually its before the beginning of the month for regular subscribers.

I've been at my Iowa address for years /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> What happened was I used my debit card from my old bank in PA (which has my billing address set as my parents' address in PA) and even though I made sure I set the shipping address as my Iowa address, it still somehow got shipped to PA. Merp.

Ahhhh, I know how that is. I have a debit card tied to my parents address and another that is tied to my current address. It so confusing so I always have to check to make sure both addresses are going to the right place.

Yeah, I'm always good about checking that, so I'm not sure what happened. Although my wifi had cut out as I went to enter my address info, so maybe that affected it? idk.

ahhh just got an email saying I won the Fekkai give away! I'm so excited lol that basically pays me back for my entire year and a half of subscribing to BB! 

I've only used one Fekkai product before but I enjoyed it so I'm eager to see how the rest of it works out! L

Congrats! I've gotten several samples of Fekkai products and they all make my hair sooooo incredibly soft and smooth without weighing it down. Enjoy!

My phone's connection cut out while I was reviewing the Mox Bath Milk crap that came in my February box. It posted 10 points twice for the same item after I refreshed the page. The Birchbox site has glitches. Also, my 21andcounting anniversary code (from December) worked on my account today. I hope that glitch is recurring. It seems like it's happened around the 17th-25th the past few months.

They don't. I asked the same thing when requesting a replacement item. But she said if I call/email in a day or two after the package goes out, CS would give me the tracking # by email. I did, and they did. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So weird...I got the same box and a replacement, and then today I got another box that is the same as my January Box.
