Birchbox November 2012

[PeridotCricket]

My acount shows box 3. I finally got my shipping e-mail and it says it's in Kansas City already. The weight is 0.5780. Anybody else who got box 3, what was the weight? Thanks.

Also, still haven't received a tracking number for my box. 

I found this in the fine print regarding the offer: "Order subtotal must be equal to or greater than $25. In order for your discount to redeem correctly, you must be an Active Subscriber, and be logged in to your Birchbox Account."

It could be the $25 thing. Or maybe you weren't logged in?

Nope. I haven't tried to purchase a two pack or any other kind or promotion or code. The only thing in my cart is the Shea Terra Black Soap 

You need to have more in the cart. The first time I tried to use the code, it was for two items that added up to $21 and it wouldn't work for me. I found out that there's a minimum amount you have to spend. =/

I have 2 BB subscriptions.  Neither one has updated on the site, neither one has shipped.  I finally called them yesterday, and was told they would ship by the end of the day on Friday.

Birchbox now has a homewares department on their website.  It looks nice, but I'm a little mad that they now have that new tab, and my boxes still havent updated.  I know one thing probably has nothing to do with the other, but it still irritates me.

You can order it straight from the Shea Terra website and use the code "aug30" for 30% off!

Yeah the black soap is only $22 so that's why. I had no idea that these codes came with a minimum purchase. While I appreciate BB for giving me a code, it's not really showing customer appreciation if they are trying to get more money by making me purchase a certain amount 

  

Thank you for the help though! I will start reading fine print from now on lol

African Black Soap by Nubian Heritage is good too.  It's just as good and it costs $3.99. You can get it at Whole Foods, Ricky's (in NYC), and probably other retail stores too.

No problem! I'm absolutely IN LOVE with Shea Terra's products (the Rose Hips Black Soap face wash is ah-mazing!) and I just got a haul of Christmas presents from them using that code and saved a lot of money (except now I want to keep all of it!)

Yeah I was going to say, when I went to Morocco for study abroad last year, one of my friends picked up a bunch of black soap. She was all like, "LOL I don't use it but I'm going to resell this stuff and make a bunch of money because lots of people pay so much for it" and it was dirt cheap over there. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The one quene8106 suggested sounds like a better deal.

Are you trying to combine it with the Plus 2 pack? Because I know they don't allow you to do that, but if not then I'm not sure!

In a complete moment of dumb... can anyone point out to me where the Plus 2 pack is? >: I perused their shop and don't see it.

The Shea Terra shipping is more than BB and the minimum to get free shipping is high.  If you just add a low priced item to your BB basket, you'll get your discount and free shipping.

Also on another note, I checked out the website for the cupcake bath bombs, and it does seem like they have minis as well as full-sizes:

BB probably sent us all the minis ($5.50 on their site), which is probably why they told me they were out and couldn't send another. Sads. Still trying to figure out how to salvage it for a photo, haha. On the other hand, the full sizes are $0.50 more expensive on the site, so ordering a single from BB will save you $0.50!! What a deal!!!!11!!

I see what you are saying, that the box only cost $10...but I can definitely see why she would be upset.  She has evidence that her box weight was low...and she has a point that they are still selling the mascara but are unwilling to replace it-I think some have said that the samples products and sale products are probably from separate inventories....but it would cost her $24 to replace the mascara in their shop ($14 with the use of the 100 pts that they were willing to provide).  Whether or not BB is willing to do something more, I felt that her frustration was valid...

While I really think that Birchbox should replace the mascara if it is for sale in the shop, I also feel that 100 points is generous. It's basically a refund of the box price. The mascara wasn't ordered, so its full price isn't an issue - a box of nonspecific samples was ordered. 

But really, just replace the mascara, Birchbox. Y'all obviously have them in stock.

I'm tempted to buy a few of the minis as gifts because I still can't get over just how cute they are, but I haven't used mine yet and I've seen someone say that it didn't do anything, in which case I'd just buy the gifts at Lush.. I do LOVE how the Ribbon Candy one smells though, so I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't do anything /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If anyone has one they want to trade (any sent but rose) let me know and I can send you my list.  Also if i get the pink-ish Stilla illuminizer i'll probably look to trade that as well.

Thanks!

It's really nice, but $39 is really steep. I might be tempted if I had a promo code and some points.

I studied abroad in Morocco too! What did you think? Where did you live?
