This will be my 4th box.  Last month was later than the first 2.  This one will definately be the earliest.  My projected delivery date is the 11th, so I'm gonna try to not see my spoilers on the birchbox site!!  Ya, I was shocked when I saw it shipped.

Tracking but no info on both accounts.

Well, I'm glad I opted into the goop box.. I just hope I actually get it, and that I don't get Essie Carry On since I already have it.

I have a tracking # on both my accounts. But I don't for a second think they have shipped yet. Not after having a number for almost 2 weeks last month before it updated with a shipping date far from when I got the number.

This!  Pretty sure a tracking number just means you've been assigned a box, not that it's actually gone anywhere.

No way to know for sure until the box pics are out.

Hmm...both box do not seem very amazing. The transformation theme is way off I still don't get it. The Goop box seems better for me just because of the Essie /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just don't know anymore with Birchbox. I am sad that I didn't opt in or opt out for the Goop box but who knows I might end up getting one. 

And of course the one amazing item that the normal Birchbox had no longer will be included in our boxes. I hope that BB sends them out next month to whoever they were suppose to send them out to.

I love the lemon zest Luna Bars.  Your box has shipped, or you have a tracking number?

Just the tracking number. To each her own, in regards to granola bars, I guess.

The way they worded it in the video I'd say it's possible.

I guess I'm just optimistic, but I don't feel like you can say neither are amazing when we've seen half a dozen items that are in the boxes.

I never got an email, and usually its really no big deal. I kept hopeful that I would get it soon.

October 5th- no email?

Seriously?

I really wanted the goop. box but I have a feeling thats not happening anymore. 

I'm on the anxious side because in every box I've either received foil packets or anti-aging stuff when I'm twenty. I'm getting really annoyed and every time they're just like 'change you're profile!' but my profile says I'm twenty and my main concern is acne... I'm pretty sure this is my last box. 

Not to mention that they'll send me broken samples, and then they 're-send' them but I get an empty envelope.

I emailed them today, but I doubt it'll make a difference. 

I'm hoping that this is a great box though! Maybe it'll work out in the end? The optimist in me is hoping so.

I think so, if you look @ the video again, you can see where it says 'Goop' when they show the Essie polishes

Holy crap!  I haven't gotten a shipping email yet, but I just randomly logged into my account to check for a tracking number, and there was one!  And, to even further amaze me, it's actually updated!!!  Every single month without fail, I get a tracking number 3 or 4 days before it actually updates.  Looks like my box shipped yesterday!  Weight is .4380, due to arrive on 10/11 but I usually get it a couple of days faster than the projected date.  I also opted in for the goop box, and judging by the comments here I was one of the first people to receive the opt in/opt out email and I opted in pretty much immediately, so I was likely among the first.

So, I commented on their Youtube video about being upset at all of the dupes and the Eyeko getting held up (which I know is not their fault) and they actually replied to my comment...

"We still think you're going to love October! We are always here to talk /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Email"

Let's hope so!

Yeah, I have found that birchbox often has other amazing products that they don't feature in their videos and so maybe you'll get something new and really amazing.  After all, some months they sample up to 60 different products and the video only featured like 7 things.

I have a tracking number too but it hasn't updated yet, just the contact us if it hasn't updated in 3 days thing as I expected. I opted in for the Goop box, I hope I actually get one!

I'm not so excited that there's probably going to be a Luna bar in the box though. I've developed a gluten intolerance and it's just going to make me pout that I can't eat it haha. I love carbs and now I can't have any unless I want to spend the rest of the day throwing up and covered in hives.

BTW -  Someone mentioned Tatcha upthread... I recommend anyone interested in the brand "like" their facebook page. I did so a few months back, and a few weeks ago they posted a notice, that they had a limited number of sample kits for $2. I bought one and it came with lots of little envelopes of things to try and three blotting papers. They also gave me a coupon for my next purchase.

I think anytime there is a brand you love, or are curious about, it pays to "like" on facebook.

If there's no update, then it hasn't shipped.  You may have a tracking number, but until the tracking updates, your box has not shipped.
