Is there a weight listed yet? Lol..I'm still waiting for my second notice, but am ready to start comparing and see where everyone's at and where the box twins are!

Ditto! This is my first month doing two boxes and I am crossing my fingers that when I get my second shipping notice that the boxes are not the same weight!

 

[Lilith McKee]

Received a shipping notice for box #1!  

Shipping weight = 0.4320

I am actually excited for all the items shown in the video, (squee!)

So far I am really digging my Birchboxes, there is a fun factor that I just didn't get with Sample Society.

Each of my daughters and myself have accounts with Birchbox and each of my girls have received a three month anniversary code from Birchbox. It seems odd that all of a sudden someone from Birchbox is saying it's not standard or common when I know it was in the past.

Interesting! I have gotten only one 20% off and it wasn't a 3 month thing from Birchbox. I called because I was at 4 months and still did not receive one and they basically said that I should get one soon, but not that it was every 3 months or anything like that. Yet I see people here posting an email for 20% off their 3 month anniversary.

Unfortunately with the internet age, these companies need to be more consistent in what they do because people will talk and will provide proof.

do you get Glossybox? Seems like ALmost everyone was happy with this months box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Just an idea if you decide BB doesnt work for you.. and I think the last box was worth like 48.00

I will see where BB goes from here and see if they change since Glossybox is finally out. They definitely have competition now.

BB is $10 and Glossybox is $25. That's not really too much competition.

This has nothing to do with anything..but I order the 3 shady lady palettes when they had the 3 for 39.95..and they accidently sent me 6! So i contacted them and they are gonna have me send them back /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> i thought i would do the right thing but was hoping i could keep them lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow that's surprising. You did do the right thing and due to their error I'm surprised they didn't let you keep them, geesh!

I agree. $10/month (that, when you factor the point system in is more like $4/month) isn't too much for me to gamble on random products, but $21 is enough to make me hesitant.

Yep. That extra $11 doesn't matter to me as long as I enjoy what I am getting in the box. I personally looooved how my GB looked & contained. IMO, well worth the $21 I paid. I have been lucky to have gotten really good BB every month, despite getting expired moisturizers & empty balm bottles. In the end, its up to the person that is getting the boxes to decide if its worth it.

 

[MissLindaJean]

Agreed.. funny, we seem to circulate the same conversation about box satisfaction/envy/valuation every month. I think for the subbers who are constantly on the fence, cancel and try a new sub. If you don't like, you can always return. It's a matter of personal satisfaction. While I love the spoilers and all, for some it becomes a real issue because they develop box envy. There are alot of subs available and if you're not satisfied with one of them, switch and try something else. I'm satisfied by my combo of subs and they, in totality, meet my wants every month.

Most people who have gotten Glossybox says that the packaging is VERY nice compared to BB. I mean, think about it..probably most of what you pay for is the boxes and shipping costs not entirely the contents.

 

[peebeenjay]

looks like i am a box twin with you, lilith mckee! my first box is also 0.4320!

 

[StellaSunshine]

Yay for everyone who received shippping confirmations!  I'm still waiting for mine.   I hope I get the self-tanner.  I love using them since I'm so pale /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[vogliadivintage]

I've got a box coming with a weight of 0.4320, so I think a lot of us have been sent the same box.  Mine is due on Monday.

I'm not sure if I'm really happy with any of the special items this month...  Maybe with all the different items they're planning on putting in there I'll be able to find something that I love out of the two boxes I've signed up for like I have just about every other month so far!

I'm very very happy about the theme being jet setting, however.  I'm on a plane a lot it seems, so all these little samples will come in handy!

Question: i see the BB charge on my credit card, but when i log in it only shows Mays box under order history. When will junes box show up? I havent gotten a shipping confirmation or any thing yet, so maybe when they ship?

 

[TXSlainte]

My box hasn't shipped, and I'm taking this as a good sign! My last 2 shipped late, and I loved them both.

 

[MissLindaJean]

I think that every month is officially up on the 10th..that's when your box shows up on your profile.
