Birchbox February 2014 (SPOILERS)

[quene8106]

I have an "unclicky" truck. But that's it! The anticipation is killing me.

Same here. Unclicky truck on one, still nothing on the other.

Corrected link ladies, for the trading thread

Sorry for the confusion!

Yeah! Finally got a clicky truck on one account and an unclicky truck on another. So jealous of everyone who's already received their boxes. I want mine!

my mom just got a tracking # on her gift account with a weight of .6210 - for some reason i have a feeling it's going to be a shampoo/conditioner type thing this month - given how light most of the boxes thus far have been. hopefully she'll like it! i know she swears by her wen stuff.

Just got tracking on my main! .4300

I'm so happy you said that. I got the Hello perfume as a sample from the Harvey Prince website, and I didn't care for it at all. If we are legit box twins, I'll be happy to not get it. Glad it worked out for you, though! I have tried quite a few HP perfumes, but I haven't liked any of them.

Hey ladies! My bb was pretty lackluster this month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got the Juicy Couture perfume, Ayres bar soap...which honestly is like a hotel bar soap, agave oil...it's not resealable which I HATE, the Miracle Skin, and the O.P.I. I like the O.P.I. but that's it. Boo. Hope you all have better luck!

 

[heartsandwhimsy]

Just got tracking and my box weighs .456. Does anyone know what's in this box?

I think that's at the top of my list too, but so far it isn't looking good. I have 2 weights of .445 and .455, so I'm afraid I'm getting dupes there. I have 1 regular box coming where I don't have a weight yet, and a 4th (yep, I'm nuts!) that I got for the 200 points, and I don't have a weight on it yet. So, holding out hope for that 

OPI!!!

ETA: Oops! Looking at a few boxes and I forgot about the 

W3LL people color stick
 which I think I want just a touch more. Both would have me turning cartwheels. Well, attempting to anyway. Hehe!

Do you know what your box weight is?

I decided to get boxes on both accounts due to the $10 bonus (since the box pays for itself + $6 in store credit - $5 for reviews and $1 for the $10 you pay for "first" month) but I'm only taking birchboxes for months I know are going to 100% include products I love or have major sign up bonuses from now on. Even though that means an extra 60c of tax, it's still worth it than paying for mediocre months and not getting the 3-months in a row bonus.

First and foremost: Is your avatar Rambo!?!

Ok and second... Your entire post has me confused

 Mainly I don't understand what you mean about an extra .60 cents tax... and not getting the 3-months in a row bonus. What is this bonus you speak of? And also how did you figure up $6 in store credit, and why are you deducting $5 for reviews? Shouldn't you be adding not subtracting? And what do you mean $1 for the $10 you pay for "first" (why is first in quotes?) month??? Eeeek my questions might be even more confusing haha

I'm sorry, I really want to understand what you're saying that is why I'm asking! If it's too much to explain I understand... And I apologize for being a little slow

Ok I think the $10 bonus cme from the 100 points with signup this month, doing 5 reviews a month = 50 points/ 5 dollars, the first box shows up as a 10 dollar purchase so you get 1 dollar back. I'm also confused about the tax thing. I did hear about some kinda discount after three months but I thought that was if u buy something in the shop. I'm guessing you signup and cancel between orders and only signup with incentive.

One downside to this strategy is that you might receive duplicate items, whereas you shouldn't be receiving dupes on the subscription or month-to-month plans.

The 3 month thing might refer to the anniversary code. You get 20% off in the store every 3 months.

Ohhh okay, the $1 is bc you get 10 points for signing up. So I reread @Kyuu post and I see where I thought she was deducting $5 and $1, she was actually explaining how she arrived at the $6 credit. I still don't get the tax thing but no biggie.. But I have been subscribing to BB for 6 months now and I'll be bummed if there is a bonus I've missed out on.. I need to know what this is! Thanks for your help /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

From their site

Quote: Are there any hidden fees? Nope—all you pay is your subscription fee. There are no shipping or handling fees for the monthly Birchbox. Please note that in NY, NJ, MA and VA sales tax may apply.

So I'd imagine @Kyuu lives some place that is subject to a sales tax on the box.

Those of you that signed up with the USWeekly code:  did you all received your magazine redemption code yet?  I received it on one account but the other account (which I signed up for two days before the account that already got a code) still has no email about the magazine.  Are they sending it out in waves?

I believe they are. I got the one for my main account about a week ago, but just got the one for my second account yesterday.
