That's sooooo frustrating. I've never had bb ask me to send something back when something was wrong. Let us know how it turns out.
In other news, last month I added the Home Sweet Homespun box to my regular BB shipment.  It was my first BB Plus item and my first LE box, and I was so excited to get it, particularly for the cookie mix and cute socks.  Well, my shipment came 10 days after the estimated delivery date, and when I opened my box, the cookie mix tin and two of the packet inside were open and everything in the box was dusted with cookie mix ingredients.  The other items in the box were fine--just a bit messy.  But I contacted BB to see if I could send back this cookie mix and receive a new one with sealed ingredients. But apparently I can only send back the entire box or nothing at all. Such a bummer.
One of my friends had the same thing happen. I thought it was really odd because Birchbox never did things that way. If something was damaged all you had to do was send an email and before you even got a response you already had a tracking info for the replacement item in your inbox. I wonder if people are taking advantage of their amazing customer service so maybe they're cracking down on their generosity? 

 
For anyone's that's wondered if you get to PYS with gift subscriptions, you do. I got my email yesterday for my welcome box. However by the time I realized it, everything was sold out. It's ok because I was leaning towards not choosing anyway.
I figured out that if you have a gift sub, you can do PYS but you cannot add on Plus items.   I hope they change it some day so that we can buy Plus items using our own credit card so that the person who gifted it does not get charged.  I left feedback the one time I kind of wanted a necklace that it would be nice. Especially since we can buy using our points in the regular shop anyways.  

Oh, and I picked the Amika spray and am excited to finally try something from that brand.  I can't wait til box cheats for March appear!

 
So what is everyone hoping for in their march boxes? I would love to try a not soap radio body wash, and an awesome face moisturizer. Does anyone have a favorite I should hope for?

I'm hoping for Davines, I love all of their products! Aaaand maybe a really great hand cream, or lip product that's not lipgloss. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I would like to try the maison caulieres perfumed bath oil. A travel size is in the Vanity Affair box and has gotten great reviews.  I don't want to invest in the VA box or a full size without sampling it first. 

 
I was prepared to go with the curated box this month, but when the PYS email came I decided to go with the BP oil.  I think the photo of the blush in the curated box looked too dark for me and I could use some hair oil. Plus I took the curated box last month & I did like it but I missed the surprise of not knowing what's in my BB.  

I can't wait for the box pages to load.  I love looking through them.

 
i honestly dont know what i want yet. but you bet i could pick one easy once box choices are up lol i just dont think ive been with them long enough to know everything they have. ive gotten 5 boxes i think? just not sure but def ready for sneak peeks and box choices, ive already tried the box combos (i know a little early) but tried some numbers for march anyway and nothing yet

 
I am new to Birchbox and I have what is probably a dumb question...I have seen (from reading your lovely posts! thanks! =) that the company does not do repeat samples.

My question is, say this month I did not get the Bee Kind shampoo...do they repeat products to people who have never gotten them? For instance, would I eventually end up with a sample other people got in previous months?  

Geez, I hope that makes sense!  =)

Yes, they sample most things multiple months. Even if you go without getting it the first round of 3-4 months where they're sampling it, a lot of the time and couple months down the road they'll bring it back into the boxes again.

What they mean by no repeat samples is that you shouldn't get the same exact sample twice on one account. You can get the same product in a different scent/color/etc. They do sample lots of things multiple times, some samples seem to be always sampled so you have a chance.

 
Dream box would be: my PYS its a 10, makeup (not mascara!), skyn Iceland eye pen or gels , borghese, a sheet mask. Not sure these are even in the rotation this month but it would be nice!!

 
Hey guys, random question.

Has anyone ever placed an order and forgotten to add their points on?

I placed an order on the app and I thought my points were added in, but they weren't.

Has CS ever added in points after the order was placed for anyone?

 That happened to me also and I just sent an email to them. Did they want you to send the whole box back so they could send you a new one or were they going to give you a refund? I left everything in the box and didn't use anything. I wonder if there was a bad box packer at the warehouse- the tin really should have been sealed better.

I haven't forgotten to add my points but did forget to add my free mystery sampler onto my order the other day. I emailed them and they had already mailed my order out so they went ahead and sent me another box out with the samples in it. I was very impressed with the customer service as that was the first time I have ever had to use them and I was very pleased!!
