Same here.  They sent me a tracking code but it hasn't updated yet.  Oooo, I hope one of the M&G is a bottle!

one is a nice size bottle (about to go on day 3 of using this sample), and one is a single use packet that i had to squeeze the life out of to get some product on my face

i wonder if it's because a lot of people opted out of the box or that so many people sent the box back as refused to the company after peeking on the website and realizing that the box sucks. just some really wild guesses here lol

Someone posted a link a while ago to a webpage that Birchbox & Goop created where you could sign up for a Goop box. It seems like it was a separate waiting list that sends out invitations based on how many Goop boxes are left over. I'm guessing that's where the people offering special sign-up links for Goop boxes have been getting those from.

I haven't received my box yet and just got my 6month code. I wanted to pick a few things up and cash in my points, but everything I want is out of stock. One Eyeko color I want is in stock, but I can't use the code with it since it's under $25. Bummer. I think I'll just keep holding onto my points for now.

If anyone has the LiQWd Professional Volumizing Catalyst little spray that was being sampled last month (and maybe the month before?) please PM me! I'd love to work something out as I've been dying to try it and it's sold out /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Me too! I just got mine and my box won't arrive till the 17th.

It's not just happening with the birchboxes. I ordered some items from the Birchbox shop on 9-29-12 and I emailed them 9 days later to ask them why my order status was still processing. The email I received back form them was that it was shipped and I should receive it in the mail today ( the day I emailed them).

So not only did I not get any shipment notification , the status of my order on BB never updated .

So it's not just worth the boxes ! Something's going on there though.

That is really weird because I ordered products from the BB shop and I was shocked at how quickly they arrived. From the time I placed the order to the time the parcel was at my doorstop only like 48 hours had passed! That's why I'm surprised to hear 9 days of processing, that is REALLY weird.

I have a question about points. If i have 130 points can I only spend 100 of them? Do they have to be multiples of 100 in order to be used?

 

[spwest]

lol!  I broke down and emailed them....one hour later my tracking info updated.  Smh.  I seriously need a lesson in patience.

I actually have but it has not updated as of yet...go figure. Also, has anyone else received the Naked Princess gloss? I'm curious to see the size.

 

[amandah]

mine FINALLY updated. i've had the tracking number for like a week now. it shows that the package was submitted for processing on the 11th, with a delivery date of the 17th /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yes, you can only spend at the 100 mark, 200 mark, 300 mark, etc. whatever you don't use will remain so basically you will get $10 off whatever you buy and have 30 points toward another purchase.

I got the same box as you. I was so not excited for this box that when I got it in the mail, I let it sit unopened for quite some time. Usually, I can't wait to rip them open. On the flipside, boyfriend LOVED the tea and this might be the box he was most excited for. Ha.

Tea--not a beauty product

Luna Bar-not a beauty product
DDF Brightening Cleanser
Caudalie Radiance Serum
Lip perfection gel--I don't think enough lip gloss for ONE application is "deluxe sized"
Skin Transformer Face Foil packets--I kid you not the product inside is the size of a Tic-Tac





I'm emailing Gwyneth....she should not allow her good name to be sullied by Birchbox

3 months, 6 months, 9 months and so on.  I'm guess every 3 months you're subscribed.  I just received my 9 month code this morning.  Too bad my box won't be here until the week after next (I'm guessing here), since my account hasn't updated from September yet.

Interesting info.....my boxes STILL have not shipped. tracking info has been on the site since wednesday but no shipping email at all, on my first account, the Goop box, I'm getting box 9, which is crap, and on my 2nd account that, thank GOD, I opted out of goop on, I'm getting box 24, which I am ok with. Would have preferred SOME makeup in the Goop, since that is my "splurge" and it hasn't failed me yet, but as I stated before, I refuse to count that THING they call a lip gel sample an actual sample. Anyway, so no shipping emails, no email stating they're going to ship late, and no 100 points. I don't understand their system for giving the points then. On a happier note, Both my Ipsy bags are in the next state over, which usually means I will get them tomorrow. Thinking VERY seriously about cancelling BB.

 

[Shannon28]

Mine hasn't shipped either. I had to change my cc info, so I was charged the day after everyone else. Customer service stated my package was going out in the second wave of boxes and there are no points awarded for that. Seems like it depends on which agent you get.
