Birchbox February 2015 (Spoilers)

[H_D]

Oh, I know.  I was just hoping to now take advantage of 2-day shipping because of Aces and the total being over $100 with the sub.  :smilehappyyes:

I guess I don't understand- you still keep your aces status and get all the perks, even if you unsubscribe. Maybe I just misunderstand what you mean?

Yup! You earn points towards Ace and and use in the store when you make store purchases. I haven't had a subscription since last spring, but still earn points and have a progress towards Ace meter if I make purchases. Think of it as an all-around incentive program to continue using Birchbox, regardless of how that's done (subscription or store purchases).

 Right, but while I get free shipping regardless with Aces, the free 2-days shipping is over $100 (or maybe it's $75?).  I was all excited to get 2-day shipping of the Brow ZIngs with the adding of the sub.  Now it's just regular-old shipping.  It's really not that big of a deal, I was just being silly about it.

I'd aaaaaalmost bite on the curated box, if only we could know the color of the Sumita. With my luck, "assorted" is code for "getting a color I already have," so I think I'm not picking anything this month.

Pick your sample is coming up tomorrow ladies!!!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  :lol:     :lol:

Thanks for the reminder! For some reason, I thought it was Tuesday.

 

[graquarius]

Actually tomorrow the e-mail goes out to Aces and to anyone who has referred a friend, and then Tuesday to non Aces. 

I have an account that is an Ace and one that's not so I'm going with the curated box pick first and then the salt spray!

I don't know if this would impact the PYS window, but keep in mind Birchbox is headquartered in NYC. I don't know if the weather may impact them and keep them out of the offices tomorrow. Just wanted to present that as a potentiality. 

 

[H_D]

yep I am an Ace so mine should be here tomorrow. I am sure even if they can't get to their offices, they have people who probably work remotely and can send out the emails and respond to emails, etc.

 I will pick the moisturizing sea spray if it is still available when I get the email and if I resub on another account, I will take my chances and not pick anything.

 

[erinedavis44]

Still trying to decide if I should pick a sample on one of my accounts. Makeup remover or leave it up to chance??

 

[graquarius]

From experience, the boxes where I've selected a sample have been better for me than the ones where I didn't. I prefer to know that if I choose a hair sample for example, I will most likely not receive another hair sample in the same box. 

 

[Noel Snow]

I still believe that one sample choice (snooty sample) ends up in the boxes with the best stuff. It's hard to tell now that we can't see all possible box combos. This month I think it will be the sea salt spray. They seemed to spend more time talking about it in the video. But I've gotten two sea salt sprays from Ipsy and neither made me look mermaid-tastic. They just made my hair smell nice. So I'm going with the curated. 

 

[IMDawnP]

I love, love, love sea salt sprays but I have sooooo many of them. I don't however have a makeup remover that I am happy with so I think I am going with that choice. I figure BB will likely send me the sea salt spray between now and summer. Right ???? :wub:

Dupe post

I think we're long past the days of anyone having to be "in the office" for something like an email to go out, with the ability to schedule tweets, FB posts and emails and the fact that many "office" jobs can be done from anywhere from the park to starbucks. I wouldn't fret that something like snow would disrupt PYS choice emails or responses to/from CS.

I'm an office manager, I kinda "have to be" at the office but even I can do 75% (maybe even more) of my job from my couch at home.

I agree. Snow would more likely cause a problem with deliveries. It would take  something like an ice storm or hurricane knocking out the power to the servers to mess up sample choice days.

I am still struggling between the sea salt spray and the eye makeup remover, but I think I'm leaning sea salt.

I'm too afraid to leave it to chance /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[biancardi]

what time do the emails normally come out?  

 

[artlover613]

The time for my two Ace accounts varies greatly. I don't think it makes sense. I've received them between 10am and 3:30pm usually (EST).

The newer account gets the email hours earlier than the other, and one time the older account didn't get it until nighttime.

I'm watching...
