Same. I have a feeling they're late on the regular boxes since they were focusing on the Goop ones.
I opted in for the Goop box and apart from a tracking number that leads to the "no tracking information available yet" page, I've got no shipping info either. I feel like the page always updates pretty late for me because I'm in TX, but I see you are too so maybe I've just been consistently unlucky haha.

Sidetrack: How was Paltrow able to get the name "Goop" for her business when it has been the trademarked name of a hand cleaner used by mechanics for years? Every time I read "Goop" here I think "I do NOT want abrasive, drying hand cleaning products made to remove grease and motor oil in my BB  My husband already has plenty of Goop !!"   
So the story goes, it was a childhood nickname.  I think the fact that they're not actually selling anything similar is the key.  Based on a quick skin of the article on the matter that I found on the Cornell University law school site, one of the big questions when it comes to trademark infringement is whether one company will be confused for another (the precise phrase is "likelihood of confusion"), and the standard is different when you're talking about companies that sell different and -- probably more importantly -- non-competing products.  This Goop sells purses, clothing, towels, and decorative desktop trays.  That Goop sells industrial skin cleansers.  Even when they're similar products, the courts would look at whether the intent was to confuse consumers as well as how much care likely consumers will take when selecting products.  I can see that there are a few people who would buy stuff from both companies, but that Venn diagram would have a very, *very* tiny intersection, so there is a very low chance any claim of trademark infringement would be accepted since confusion is unlikely.  There may be cognitive dissonance, but that's not the same thing.

 
I opted in and my box weighs 0.5640. I will be super happy if I get a beauty blender. Hopefully they update our boxes soon the suspense is killing me!! hehe

i'm in the same boat as you! opted in, got a tracking on the first day people were getting them, but still no update.

i'm hoping this just just means we're we're in a later wave of goop boxes. i guess we'll see.

Actually, I think the Goop boxes seem to have been shipped early. My boxes haven't shipped until well after the 10th for the last few months, and they were all regular boxes. I guess shipping dates are just the luck of the draw.

Hopefully! Maybe our boxes have the essie in them and will be slower since they will have to go by ground shipping? I totally wouldn't mind if that were the case.

yeah, hopefully sooner! That being said, getting the first box that was posted here wouldn't be *awful* because I know my grandma or mum would really love everything that's in it. I still want nail polish though.

I too am a 20-ish (22 haha) year old college student. I opted in for goop. My box is .7420 - so just under the weight of yours. I'm hoping ours is the one with the essie in it, because the ones I've been seeing with all the skin care items in it would put me to sleep! 
I'm a 21 almost 22 year old college student so I'm betting we are all getting the same box.

I'm also hoping for the essie because I'm addicted ever since receiving it in my first box which was the Teen Vogue one.

Edit: I can't wait until one of us gets it so I know what we're getting, I am so IMPATIENT

I think mine will be here either Tuesday or Wednesday.  I live in eastern PA, so it doesn't usually take that long once it ships.  

 
I didnt opt in or out, i couldnt decide so i left it up to the powers at BB to decide for me. I am also in my 20's and got a tracking number but it hasnt updated yet. I'm hoping for the essie :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I just want my box :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think everyone does, the suspense of not knowing if I will get a regular box or a goop is box is getting to me.

I never got the e-mail about the goop box so I didn't opt in or out. 

 
I had a tracking code without information yesterday, but when I checked today I didn't have a tracking number. Anyone else? I opted in for the goop box.

 
I opted in for the Goop box, but my CC needed updated. I didn't see the email for a few days so I think I might have missed out on the GOOP box. My account just switched from September box info to October this afternoon. No tracking yet either.  I'm good either way.

 
I really hope I get the box with the mascara they just did a Sneak on FB of.
I opted in for the Goop box, I hope it is much better than my GG box back in May.

Me Too!

 
I'm sitting here, reading missed posts and laughing.  Why am I laughing you ask?  Simple.  We all are in the same boat, waiting.  Waiting and wondering what box we are getting, waiting for the tracking info to update, wondering what is going to be inside, and when it is going to finally get to us. THEN the inevitable happens.....everyone spends the next few weeks complaining about what they got or what they didn't get.  Sending e-mails to BB complaining about whatever is on our minds, only to get one of those cheerful, yet sneer replies that basically just shuts us up until the next month.
