No worries - you can't tell what someone's inflection is in type.  

BTW is this really an emoticon here: 

 MUT is into some kinky stuff...

Just received Box 20, yet my online account told me I was getting 3. What am I supposed to do about giving feedback on the switched items?

*on the plus side I now have the full size mascara

Recheck the box on your account now that you have your box.  If they are different - I would e-mail/call CS and see what they say.

 

[katem5]

Yeah, they're still different. I guess I'll be emailing!

I agree with your mother! Me and my unrefined taste will enjoy truffle oil, truffles or not, TYVM.

wow, thats a really nice welcome box! I think it's better than most of the boxes that I received so far from birchbox lol

I'm on the boat with the people with no tracking info on the box still.. I did call birchbox to get straighten out something I ordered last night and also asked the status on my box while on the phone.. the CS told me that I should be getting a shipping confirmation email soon, and if I don't get one by Saturday I should try contacting them again. So I guess I'll be a little more patient until Saturday. But their CS line seem so hard to get through.. had to try a few times to get connected to someone.

Great box! I would definitely not have been as nice and let my little sister claim my eyeko liner though! That stuff is gold!

Leave feedback for the box that's listed on your page, then call them and make them change it to reflect your new box, then leave feedback for the new items. Boom, free points.

Got my shipping confirmation email. I'm not really sweating the arrival of my Birchbox this month. Mostly I just want the chocolate. 

 

[prachisrk]

LOL. I have 2 subscriptions and I wasn't getting it in either so I just bought it from their site.

I just checked my BB account and it says my box (#20) was shipped a few days ago and tracking shows it's on its way!  Still haven't received a shipping email, but as long as the box seems to be headed my way, that doesn't bother me in the least.

Btw, Sephora has a "Minimergency Kit" that is kind of like the "Oh shit" kit.  I got one for my niece in college.  Seemed like a very useful little bag of emergency stuff.  Just thought I'd share /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Does anyone know what that "Kate" item is? I'm thinking Kate Spade and not Kate Walsh or Somerville. Just curious, I'm not buying it. From what I can see the price is too high for what you get.

 

[katem5]

I believe that's the chalkboard placecards.

Okay, I know many of you recieve multiple birchbox subscriptions. Is there a way to ensure you don't receive multiple of the same box?

Thanks

There's no way to ensure it, just try to make your beauty profiles as different from each other as possible while still keeping things true to you.
