 I wondered the same thing. I was suprised to see it in her box. Maybe leftovers? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Uh oh.. the impatience is starting to set in now that people are receiving their boxes lol. I haven't even received my shipping notice yet (I usually get the email on/around the 10th) - I wish they could send west coast boxes out faster! Train some carrier pigeons or something /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They send the boxes out by numbers, not location. I'm in AZ and I received my shipping notification.

for those that got their boxes, do you see feedback buttons on the items you received? Or are they not up yet

My shipping info updated.

Weight (lbs.):
0.4450
Projected Delivery Date:
Jun 12 2012

No feedback options for me.

This what my box is also. I'm a little disappointed/worried b/c I see everyone else's box weights are more. Wah! I want the stainiac, the bandaids and those ziplock bags!

A box of bandaids is really light. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Same with ziplock bags.

 I'm in the same boat... haven't gotten my shipping notice yet either. I know they ship out in waves but I think their "waves" should start with the people who are the farthest away. Just seems to make more sense because it will take them longer to get their box than someone right down the street from them, lol! At the same time though, I love when people get their boxes early so I can see what they got and get even more antsy and excited for mine to come, LOL!

Ohhh, thanks for letting me know that!

For those of you who have already received their boxes, is there a feedback option to review for points under your account? I still don't see feedback available on any items. I also wasn't credited 10 points after it shipped.

Points are my favorite aspect of Birchbox...I will be extremely disappointed if they stop their incentive system!

People are already getting them? Oh no, now I have to rush to my mailbox as soon as I get off work!

Ohhh, thanks for letting me know! I remember reading on their website that if you live on the west coast it could a full 10 days to receive your box, so I just assumed shipping time was the reason why I got my boxes after a lot of people!

If you're monthly, you only get 10 points for your first box.

the 10 points on purchase is just for your first month, isn't it ?  the rest of the points come from reviewing the products /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my shipping notice late last night and was surprised that I already had weights and it had shipped on the 5th!  Last month it took 4 or 5 days for the box to even ship after I got my confirmation for both of my subs and another couple days for it to update.  Here's what I've got:

Weight (lbs.):
0.4763
Projected Delivery Date:
Jun 11 2012

But, I think I should get it tomorrow, since it arrived at the big post office a couple of towns over this morning. 

Haven't gotten a shipping notice for my 2nd sub, though (which I had just gotten for the Gossip Girl box and meant to cancel, but I'll hold on to it if there's going to be good boxes next month!).  Hopefully that means totally different boxes, since I got the same exact box twice last month.

Ahhhh ok...I thought it was odd since I was billed and they did not show! Thanks for clearing that up! <3

Ha I totally agree (on both counts!). I am so not good at trying to keep each Birchbox a surprise - definitely like checking to see what people have gotten until I receive mine!

I checked a few of my items, and there were no feedback options.

beautyblender cleanser

twist hair tie

stripper to go nail polish remover

perfume (cant remember which one)

sugar lip treatment (the clear one)

I thought it was an ok box... but she doesnt have a beauty blender and her hair is in a bob so she can't use the twist tie. Also... she listed her age as 54. So strange.

Welcome boxes are usually pretty generic(ie. non-age specific).

Tell her she can use the BB cleanser to clean her makeup brushes.

 

[JessicaMarie]

My mom just got her box without getting a shipping notification first. 

She got....

The men's cologne (which will end up going to my dad) A cute tili bag in a pink and turquoise leopard print pattern Beauty Blender Cleanser (she doesn't have a bb or any makeup brushes, so that will probably go to me) theBalm Staniac in Beauty Queen Comodynes Self Tanning Towlettes in the Intensive Formula (2 packets) Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect   Ok, so it's worth about $16.37, not bad
Overall, she wasn't thrilled as the majority of the products were busts to her. As always with Birchbox though, this could be someone else's dream box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
