Birchbox - The March boxes

[Janine Voegt]

I got an E-mail yesterday saying I will get the Teen Vogue Box on top of my regular box & another mail today saying I will get a new tracking number. I decided to stick around for another month or 2 & see if the boxes get better again. (I'm also waiting to compare BB to Glossybox)

I know! I have a yearly and I seem to get crapy boxes. I have curly hair and I'm not getting a single product of Miss Jessie's this month... odd right?

I have noticed that the people who seem to get the sucky boxes have a yearly subscription. It makes me not want to update to a yearly.

They've really renewed my confidence and desire to receive their product. In the past my one BB was lost because of the Philly mail system (which I didn't find out til after I contacted BB) & they sent me a new one immediately. I have to say I am super pleased with the company, even if the boxes do sometimes leave something to be desired.

Same, I was ready to cancel but my membership is annual so WELP. But then I got that email and I felt that they were still worthy of my business.

Aw that is a bummer. At least you got the One Love and cleanser. Those look like good big products. I was dying to try the one love skin savior too!

Dena - I got box #12 - no polish /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I'm so tired of BB - I never get any of the 'good' items - I so would have used the Stila eyeliner and some of the other awesome things I've seen people get - they keep sending me crappy moisturizers and other stuff - I've even tried changing my profile a few times - to see if that would help - but it doesn't.  I don't know what to do - I was stupid and purchased the yearly subscription.  I've just been really disappointed every month with my BB.

Birchbox. Baublebar would have been so much better.

Same here. My box is supposed to come tomorrow and is supposedly at a local office in New Jersey. I'm going to figure I'm not going to get my box before I leave for spring break.

Still no box :/. I'm so impatient because before, they'd ship by the 4th and I'd have my box by the 6th. Now mine shipped Friday from New York, to Massachusetts (WHY???) To New Jersey, and now It's been in Philadelphia 45 minutes from me since 9am. This better not be a taste of future shipping debacles to come!!

Every time I make a post with a quote it gets moderated and never put on here. ):

Why does everyone think your first box is a "sucky welcome box?"  Mine definitely wasn't.  I got my first box last month and I don't remember the box #, but it had a beautyblender, Violent Lips, Jouer moisture tint, Orofluido and the nail file.  So I wouldn't always assume your first box will be crappy 

 

[Lychae]

My box has yet to move..it's been sitting in Denver since the 11th and it's only six hours away!

 

[yanelib27]

I never did hear back on my issue with the Trate and broken perfume so I decided to call and they are sending me a new box!! Shipping today /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I did make sure to tell them this was my first box and asked if they could do anything about it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love BB! She couldnt confirm that I would get the same color Tarte but said I 'should be'.

She also emailed me

My first box was in December and I didn't think it sucked at all.

 

[Steffi]

Wow.  I'm WAY past that mark. I think my last count was..um..480.  Yeah. More on the way too.

Um... yeah... 200 bottles of nail polish... that would be... um... horrible

I'm a yearly subscriber and have been a member for 1 year, 5 months. Some boxes are not the best, but others rocked my socks off. I don't necessarily think it's because I'm an annual member, though. Stick with it, if you like the business. But if you're still on the fence, then an annual subscription is not for you. I don't think I'm treated any better or worse than anyone else. If anything, I don't get as many offers for bonuses, shopping the sample closet, extra points and discounts, etc. because they already have me locked in?? But the quality of my box compared to others is not markedly different....

[CrabbyMrsJ]

Agreed. For the most part, the items you received were well received by other subscribers. The Orofluido is a favorite. So is Jouer. Many subscribers weren't lucky to get a beauty blender either. So, I see a "welcome box" as a way for new subscribers not to miss out on favorites that members enjoyed in the past. If this pisses you off, then you will be sorely disappointed in the future. You might as well quit then and let the other people who are hoping to get off the wait list get their chance.

My 1st box was November and I was quite happy with it.   The highlights were a pretty neon blue Zoya nail polish that I liked which I would never have bought on my own, but was actually pretty on my toenails, and the Jouer lip plumper, which I liked enough to buy 2 of.

Good ol' Box 1.  Still upset I didn't get the Tarte.  I tried the lip balm, it's alright. I didn't feel right with potentially swapping, ESPECIALLY after I saw how small the sample REALLY is.  The actual product looked almost like you'd find on a mini tube of lipstick.  I -LOVE- the Essie.  I'm glad I got that one(I wouldn't mind any but I love the pink), and I'm glad the twistband is that dark red(my favorite color).  The Kerastase elixir is alright, but I like the Orofluido a lot more, and it's half the price.

 

[astokes]

Hi! This is my first time posting here but like others I've been "stalking" the BB threads for a couple months. I got the TV box #4 and love it! I love seeing people happy about BB, it's a bummer when people aren't happy. : ) I like the twistbands, I actually bought some from Sephora that are similar to these. When I don't think I'll use a sample I give them to friends or save them as extras to add to gifts.

 

[NicoleRoyer]

I really like the color of your hair tie! Dark red is my absolute favorite color. I have like 50 bottles of red nail polish because it's like a disease, I see a pretty red and I have to have it. lol

I have never received a sample of the Orofluido, I want to try it... everyone keeps raving about how good it is. I am thinking I might just break down and buy it since I need a hair oil anyway, and I already have like $250 worth of products in my basket on my BB account...

Waiting to use my 6 month coupon code/BB points!

I was about to call BB for replacement/complaints because the shampoo spilled in my box during transport. Not too much spillage about (1/4 of the contents) but it was open and made my box messy.  When I woke up this morning, I received an email of apology saying that I chose TVBox and they will send it to me free. I did sign up for notification but didnt confirm so I think, the default is that they will send the TVBox instead of the regular. Anyways, I am still happy because I will receive a FREE box and I love their good customer service!!
