Wait, do other people actually get accurate tracking info?  I get the tracking number, but it does the "Tracking information for this piece is unavailable at this time. Tracking may take 24-48 hours after your mail piece has shipped. Please check back at a later time for additional information." thing right up to the time it arrives at my door.  I figured that the MI tracking was just borked.  I don't see how the tracking weirdness could be anything on BB's end if it's still saying that even when I've got the box in my hands.

Even though it is Columbus Day, the Milwaukee post office was kind enough to send my box to my Sheboygan post office.  I should get my box tomorrow!!!  Sans spoilers too...hmmmm should be exciting!

A little fustrated, I have had my tracking number for days (account settings) and it still hasnt updated. Its been prob around  3-4 days! And this is for both my accounts/ they both are goop. I posted on their FB wall, but I don't think they'll answer till tomorrow. They also never answered my question on when the tarte lipsurgences will come back in stock...

I've noticed that I can't get any tracking info until 3-4 days after the tracking # shows up in the UPS-MI system. This is after having recieved the shipped email from BB a couple of days prior.

Which reminds me...since my tracking info updated, box weight is 0.7370 and I received the goop email, and I did opt in. Anything's gotta be better than last month's underwhelming box.

Yeah I'm definitely noticing two different emails: one that mentions goop and one that mentions transformation. Guess that's your clue as to what you're getting!

Does BB give out a 9 month discount code? Or is it only at 3, 6, and 12 months?

i got a 9 month code last month and used it with my points to get stuff from the store

I just turned 30 and I have nary a fine line or laugh line and my skin looks exactly like it did when was 20. I’d suggest using it if you get it because you don’t want your skin to crack like aged vinyl once you hit 30 a la Paris Hilton. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]I have tracking numbers for both my boxes, neither of which have updated. And I need more spoilers.[/SIZE]

That's really good advice.  Prevention is key when it somes to the skin.  Once you start getting the lines and wrinkles its too late. That anti-aging skincare might improve things a bit  but its not going to make it go away. (thats why Botox and Juvederm are so popular!)  I look good for my age (52),but I wish I started with anti-aging skin care earlier. 

So funny about Paris Hilton, but I have a feeling the reason she looks older is due more to poor life-style choices.

i got it on sept 14th last month. i had to search my e-mail.  you have to use it quick though (within a week)

edit: oh and your order has to be at least $25.  The code works for five days only...

I always get my codes right after I place an order.  Timing is everyhing!

Damn! I opt out in for Goop on my main and opt out on my second account and it seems I got two Goop shipping emails. :

Your right.  I have 2 accounts and recieved 2 different emails.  One that says there partnering up with Goop and one that says this month they're "helping you transform your look".   Neither one has updated yet though, but shipping isnt really until the 10th of the month so I can't complain - yet.

Really?  That's strange!  I would have expected maybe a Goop if you didn't opt, but I'm surprised they're sending a Goop when you specifically opted out!  Makes you think it's a lil more random than they lead you to believe, eh?  (I opted out, but wouldn't mind if they override me and opt me in.  Except that they'll have overriden my specifically saying I didn't want it.  That would annoy.  But hey - either way, I don't feel really negative on any of it I've seen so far.  'Cept food stuffs.  That I don't want.)

I still haven't received a shipping email yet but, my shipping information in my account has been updated. I opted in for a goop box and apparently my box weighs 0.9740. The weight seems a little too heavy though.

Maybe they're sending out hand-weights.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wholeheartedly agree with the folks who say to start aging preventative skincare EARLY.  I wish I had.  I'm thirty-three and am often mistaken for younger, but I can definitely notice my little life lines.

No shipping notice or update of online info yet for me.  I'm 99% certain I'm getting the standard box, since I didn't opt in and am obviously not shipping with the early goop boxes.  I'll be out of town tomorrow through the 19th, so I guess I can look forward to both my Birchbox and my Testtube when I get back.

I am bored at work so I looked back through my emails to see the exact dates I got my anniversary codes:

BB sub 1: 9/14, 6/18, 3/16

BB sub 2: 7/13 (looks like I'm due for my 6 month code this month)

BBman sub: 10/3, 7/11

though I have read that some people who never get the emails just type in "3months20" "6months20" "9months20" in the code section throughout the month they should have received one and eventually it works. Good luck!

Now that I think about it, I don't mind it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just wish they would stop sending out bars in the boxes.

My box weighs .4440 suppose to be here the 11th. I opted for goop. I am crossing my fingers since it is light that means I am getting a "pink thing!"
