GlossyBox - June 2012

[glamourdolleyes]

I hate that it takes so darn long for west coast people to get their box!

On the upside, looks like it was shipped the 23rd, which is better than it just being shipped yesterday.

Destination: Las Vegas, NV Carrier: United States Postal Service - Non First Class DelCon Only 
Estimated Delivery Date: 07/06/12-07/09/12

If you do, please share! Mine left IN yesterday and according to last month I should get it in 3 days, so by Monday.

I'm not lucky at all but if by some miracle the box does arrive today I'll let you know. Probably be here tomorrow by the latest.

 no shipping notice yet. 

But it does give me some hope i guess that they shipped them out last friday and just didn't tell anyone?? So i guess they are already on their way...

Julep shipped yesterday and GB told us they shipped yesterday... we'll see which one I get first! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine departed Fishers, IN today! And I live an hour and a half away from Fishers, so it should be here by Saturday I would imagine (even though it says 7/3). Yay!

Edit: Actually, it departed Fishers last night. I wonder if it's in my mailbox! Oh god, now I'm not going to be able to pay any attention at my 2:00 meeting.

I am impatiently waiting my shipment notice as well.

I just got my ship notice about an hour ago, looks like they shipped them on the 22nd. My EDD is 7/6-7/9 but last time it came several days early. There is a holiday in the middle of the week next week so I hope I get it before then!!

 

[bluemustang]

Got my notice too, mine was shipped the 23rd.. So maybe they were waiting to send out notices once almost everyone's box was out and until they were actually moving?? With birchbox I seem to get my notice before the 10th but then I wait like 3 days before it actually moves anywhere. I can deal with the end of the month notifications if my box is already moving and past the just sitting there stage.

Totally worked.  Thanks! Also I just received my tracking info.  Says it departed Indiana at 5:42 p.m. yesterday.  Yay! It says estimated delivery is 07/05/12-07/06/12.

You're welcome! Glad it's working for everyone!

 I haven't gotten mine either!!  ARG! And I'm in NY.

Did they change the warehouse from NJ to IN?

Still waiting on mine! Worried about since I was part of the ones who couldn't get charged at first. I hope something else doesn't get messed up! Guess I'm just a worry wart and expect the worst to happen!

I don't know but I have 3 subs and not ONE looks at the profile. It's obvious they don't when you receive items that conflict with your profile month after month. I think the profile is so they can get an idea of their demographics like how many customers have frizzy hair, how many love classic looks verses trendy, etc. etc. so they get an idea how to fill the bags.

Just my 2 cents though. I could be wrong.

Oh that's why I cancelled Birchbox--they sent me a dark peach bronzer designed for those with olive skin and darker when I have light skin. Totally wrong for me. So I know Birchbox doesn't follow the profiles (or if they try to, they don't do it very well). Still, I just find it so odd to take profiles, say you do custom boxes based on those profiles, and then not have an automated system which is specifically based around trying to match profiles. Just because they take profiles, doesn't mean they do things the right way, or that they even seem to care. I'm hoping Glossybox will be different, but it makes me nervous. That's all I was saying.

Well I think part of it is they can't do a different box for every single person. So like birchbox will have 20 different kinds of boxes for their thousands of subbies. So they might try to match the best one for you. They obviously can't know everything about you with just the few questions they ask, so they prob do the best they can. I know I did get frustrated with birchbox a while back because my profile stated I have oily hair and month after month they gave me dry hair products. I actually canceled then because I was tired of getting them and the same kinds of products all the time because I think the one profile they limit you to will give you the same kinds of products because they are trying to match what you want. So it's a double edged sword for me. I did decide to rejoin because I missed a monthly makeup sub after trying myglam and beautyarmy, neither of which I liked and in the end BIrchbox did better than both of those. I also have to realize that most of the hair products out there are for dry hair. It's really hard to get products just for oily hair.

I know what you are saying about them doing a limited # of boxes and that causing issues. When I cancelled Birchbox, I told them I thought they needed a more sophisticated beauty profile and a more advanced software system, however. For example, if the computer picked a certain box as my best match, say an 89% match for me, if it directly contradicted my skin tone (like the peach bronzer did), then the software should be advanced enough to go to my second best match, say 82% of a match or something. If it had done that, I'm convinced I would have gotten what I would have considered 'a better match.' Think of some of the more 'neutral' items they sent out last month--lip balms, Melvita rose water, treatment masks, etc. I still might not have gotten my top choice or anything, but ruling out things that are wrong for us completely would be a step in the right direction. I'd rather get a neutral box that makes me say "eh" than a box that makes me mad because it directly contradicts something I specifically told them about me. Sending someone dry hair products, like your problem, when you specifically said your hair was oily would be another example. I'm not a computer programmer, so I don't know how hard this would be to achieve. Still, it seems like it would be possible.

Yeah I was gonna say, why are they all shipping from Indiana? I'm in eastern pa and haven't gotten a shipping notice yet.

 

[Caryatid]

I honestly doubt (someone do correct me if I'm wrong!) that it is actually a computer program. I am fairly sure that it is just someone going through and making VERY quick selections.

No, the boxes are still shipping from NJ. On my shipping notice that is the place of origin.

I got shipping notifications for both of us today at 9am.  Both were shipped out on the 22nd but not received by Newgistics until the 26th.  Hopefully we'll get them by the end of next week.  *fingers crossed*
