Same here.  I have 2 boxes and no email or tracking for either.

 Ditto!!! :-(

I've had my tracking number for a few days now but it never got updated. On the trackin page, it said if there's no update within 3 day, I should contact the shipper. Is this normal or should I contact BB?

My tracking finally updated. A weight of .7380! Anyone else have a similar weight? I won't be getting mine until the 14th.

It's actually normal.  But did they send the tracking number to you, or did you get it from your account page?  Because that makes a difference.  They seem to have changed to a process where they generate tracking, attach it to your account, ship it, and then send the tracking info to you via email after they have actually shipped it.  If you just got it from your account page, I wouldn't bother contacting BB.  It's probably in between tracking info generation and actually getting shipped.  If they emailed it to you, I would wait until three days after the email was sent and *then* contact BB.  But even then, they will probably just reply that it's on the way, so it might not be worth your time to email them until you have had the tracking info email for at least five days.

I actually don't contact anyone. My tracking rarely updates, and when it does, it overestimates the number of days till it arrives. I just wait and eventually a package shows up in my mailbox. If I got to, say, the 20th without a package, then I would contact BB about it (except this month I expect a delay due to the storm).

Lately, I've had one box come on time or a day or two early, then my other account shows up a few days late.. I figure it evens out? Lol, so long as I get them!

Just got my box today! Received my shipping notice yesterday so this is the quickest i've ever received my box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Don't know if that has anything to do with me being in NY though lol. Weight was 0.4740 btw. Okay box, except for a little mishap haha


Model Co lipgloss in Showgirl Red
Jouer perfume sample in Cornucopia
Lulu Organics Hair Powder (which i'm most excited about)
Sumita liner (my cap was missing and it was completely dry so I emailed them today)
and LE was a cranberry soyjoy, which, if you enjoy fig newtons, you'll like it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I received the same box.  My eye pencil had the lid on the bottom and there wasn't a point/tip to my pencil. I'm sure mine it dry too without a cap. I just wrote them about it.

My shipping just updated!  On the account I have not received an email stating it shipped..  

Weight (lbs.):
0.7450
Projected Delivery Date:
Nov 14 2012

Not expected to be delivered until the 14th.  

On my other account I received an email stating it shipped.  But it has not updated yet.  Go figure!  LOL

 

[kawaiisquawks]

btw for you ladies that have working tracking numbers, have y'all gotten the shipping confirmation? I never got one last month and haven't gotten one this month either (and I've checked my spam)... I emailed BB asking about it and got a reply saying they'd "look into it."

They can say it's cause of the theme of giving but obviously it's just another way of marketing BB man.  Honestly, if it wasn't for the blurb they used to describe it (on the card someone who got it took a photo of) and the fact that that box came with 4 products, not 5 or 6 like in June when they gave out men's cologne, it wouldn't be the worst thing ever.  But when it's basically in place of one of our regular samples, then it's annoying imo.

I have 2 accounts, my working tracking number did NOT get a shipping confirmation.  

The account I received the shipping confirmation on has not updated yet.  I don't get it.

Today has been one of my greatest mail days ever.  People Magazine, my Target Beauty Bag samples (finally!  The box seriously looks like it was partially on fire at some point, and then doused with water), my Blvgari Mon Jasmin Noir that I got with a groupon, and my Birchbox, 4 days early!  I think this is the same box others have received.  My box weight was .5780.

Archipelago Pomegranate Body Soap (smells awesome)
Lulu Organics Lavender + Clary Hair Powder (I've been wanting to try)
ModelCo Mascara (I always love mascara)
Mox Botanicals Pomegranate & Fig Lip Butter (also have been really wanting to try!)
Lifestyle Extra - Soyjoy Cranberry (yeah, I probably won't even try it)

I'm pretty happy with my box!  Pretty indifferent about the bar, but it's not as dramatically awful as some people make it out to be.

Ohmigosh, watching you all get your Birchbox already is KILLING me!  I have a number on my account page, but no updated shipping information.  Oh, the agony!

I'm not so sure about that. Last month on both my boxes my tracking number was up on the 10th. My first box I received on the 25th and my second box on the 30th, the tracking didn't update at all and I never received a shipment email for either. I contacted bb multiple times, the one box they told me hadn't shipped and they would give me 100 points, blah blah. When I finally did get a bb email it stated that they were sorry for the delay and I'd be getting 100 points and that my box would ship saturday the 17th? I believe, but I received that email around the 27th. Again this month, tracking numbers have been on my account pages since at least the 6th, and no emails, tracking isn't updating.   *edit* I just logged in to my second acct (the one that didn't get the box till the 30th) and tracking is updating, although no shipment email still...

Hah. Well I guess out of all the glitches and problems BB has had, this is the most harmless one to have. I get their other emails fine, just never the "Your box has shipped!" one.

 

[jetsetjournalst]

The boxes I've seen on Instagram so far are looking great. Excited for my November box!

 

[kawaiimeows]

these boxes are looking great. i think i'll be really sad if i don't get one with the mascara but i guess i'll know tomorrow what i'm getting if they update the site!

Heavy! Although, not as heavy as some of you. I hope I get anything from the video, especially the hair spray, and I would love love love to get the mascara!

My alternate canceled account's shipping # has not updated. I guess that means it will be late and a surprise! I wish I hadn't canceled it yet, because then I would be able to peek, but I was paranoid that I'd forget and get charged again.

Cripes! And forgive me for

, I'm not a firestarter, honest.

My box weighs .4970 and here are the contents:

Annick Goutal Petite Cherie vial-I know people have gotten this before and I was curious. OK, a little flouncy for my tastes.

Masqueology Advanced 7D Solution-a really big plastic hypodermic with vit. D anti-aging cream. Might be good to use for administering meds to animals when it's empty. Impressive looking, anyway .20 oz.

stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer-I'm not crazy about this type of product, I have enough shine. Nice size sample with a brush .05 oz

Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture and Volume Spray- Seems like I've been getting Blandi something in most of my boxes lately. Good purse-size 1 0z.

Beauty Extras: Masqueology Cleanse-face wash foil .03 oz.

and Masqueology Serum Actif-anti-inflammatory mushroom and licorice extracts .03 oz.

Not bad, could be worse, no food but no makeup either
