As for the July box (or August at this point ), I don't really need another lip balm, although I'm intrigued with the Figs & Rouge brand... I have an overfilled birchbox full of lip gear. I guess it's too late to unsub, but will definitely do it next month until I know it's going to be a good box!
I should not have to call every single month to replace something that either didn't show up or was broken or had some other issue.  Considering all the problems over the past few months I've had, plus the fact that I don't really like any of the perfume samples (and the one that broke to my nose was awful) I think I'm just done. This is one of the more expensive sub boxes out there, and it is promoted as providing luxury samples and products, I do not feel that my money is well spent here.  The first box I got was the only one I really loved, every other month has been a major letdown, and for me not worth the price of admission.

I agree that you shouldn't have to call every single month if something is messed up or wrong with the box.  If I had as many issues with Glossybox than I would probably be as frustrated as you!

I randomly grabbed the Oscar De La Renta Santa Domingo out of the little bag this morning and sprayed it on.  More of a Fall/Winter scent, but really nice.  My boss, who is usually the most oblivious person on Earth, actually stopped and asked me what scent I was wearing so I guess it's a hit.

Maybe GB should send out double boxes to everyone each month to make up for broken perfume, wrong colored lipstick, etc.

Only after they actually get all the boxes out to people who haven't gotten theirs yet.  Still waiting...

My June Glossybox JUST shipped. Yes, that is correct. They have just now sent my JUNE Glossybox. Ridiculous.

Mine literally shipped July first. When I got that email teaser for julys box, I sent back a pretty irate response and all they sent me was my tracking number. Showing my box still in NJ as of today. I've been with these guys from the beginning and no apology or show of goodwill- nothing!

So, I just got home and there was a SECOND Glossybox waiting for me?! I only have the one subscription.. I sent them an email asking what was going on, I'm curious as to what they say.

I did peek inside though, and I hope they let me keep it. It had exactly everything I wanted (nail polish in Adore, a really pretty shimmery light pink, the conditioning creme rinse, and another Tarte that I was planning on buying or trading for anyways).

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I only paid for the one, and I've already had mine for days.

EDIT: I never ordered the Bride to Be one either.

Finally received a shipping notice! Now I just have to be patient with the slow shipping.

You are one lucky gal!  They should do that regularly as part of a fan giveaway.

I finally got a tracking number!!!!!!!!!!!  It doesn't work yet, but baby steps.  I was promised a tracking number today as well as 300 glossydots.  I got the tracking number but no dots.  Should I wait to email them about those until after my box arrives, or should I email now?

This started happening in November or December: Inexplicable second boxes sent to random subscribers, usually while other subscribers are still waiting for tracking. I ended up with an extra box in January after I used my Glossydots and then canceled.

I got an e-mail from Glossy saying that they accidently sent a second June box to everyone who bought a bridal limited edition box. They said go ahead and keep it.

I actually got one too.  Now I feel like a jackass for hounding them for my box.  I'll believe it will come when the tracking works.

Don't feel bad for hounding them. You shouldn't have to wait til July for shipping for your June box. I don't feel bad, nor do I feel bad for cancelling my sub because they don't have their collective heads out of their you-know-whats and can't get their act together to retain what customer base they have.

Lucky you! Wish I had that kind of random luck! lol

Got mine in the Ft. Lauderdale area yesterday. Mine was stuck in NJ for like a week before it miraculously appeared at my post office with no tracked movement between. Don't lose hope yet!

I went ahead and painted my thumbnail with the Spa Rituals polish that came in my box yesterday.  I was already wearing the Bondi "Central Park Blossom"  on my nails.  The Spa Ritual polish has already chipped but the Bondi polish underneath is fine.  I still want to give the Spa Ritual polish another chance on clean nails, but I'm a bit skeptical of its staying power. 

Overall it was a good box this month but I'm happy with my decision to cancel and sign up for Ipsy.  Now I can get Ipsy and my Birchbox for the same price of the Glossybox.  I am tired of wondering when my box will come and if I'll miss out on the hugely advertised product. 

I hope I can still come on here and stalk your boxes.
