They won't automatically renew your subscription once it ends, you have to buy another one.

Thank you, Katie!

When do you think it is a good time to do it? I don't want two "October boxes"!

Can I apply a code to my new subscription??

Nope, I still haven't gotten an email or any tracking on their website.

Maybe someone will be able to answer this since it's taking forever for Glossybox's CS to return my email: October's box will be the third and final box in the three month subscription I purchased in August. I want to purchase another 3 month subscription to begin in November (and possibly use the COSMO code), but I don't want to order it too early and end up with two October boxes. When is the right time to order my next 3 month subscription to receive the first box in November?

well, i spoke to a GB rep about a month ago, and Nicole (her name) mentioned that normally the cut off date is the 17th, if you want to make it in time for the current month's box. If you want to double check with the rep, try calling early as soon as they're open (i think 9 AM EST). I normally get someone to speak to right away. If not, I hang up and call back again about 2-3 times and normally get someone. Hope this helps.

Read up about 5 posts or so, I just had the same question because I'm in the same situation as my 3 month subscription just expired. I bought another three month subscription just now and it says it won't ship the first box until November (see my screenshot in one of my previous posts). I also applied the code COSMO and it accepted it, but I'm not sure what that means because I just used it after seeing it on here and I think it means we'll get an extra box at some point, but I can't be sure.

Luckily when I placed my order it gave me the estimated ship date of the first box and it was mid-November. Also, when you go on their website it says they are all sold out of October's box so everyone who is buying subscriptions now must be starting in November. Thanks!

Really, really, REALLY fast shipping this time around. I'm talking lightning fast. I just barely got my tracking info and it arrived a day or so later. Pretty good. 

The items were just okay this time around for me. I can't believe I resubbed. lol. I was actually hoping to get the Carol's Daughter lotion, but I wound up getting

a duplicate Illamasqua nail polish in "Taint". That's a sleek brown color that would look very flattering on medium-dark skin tones. Does anyone on here want it? If you

have the Carol's Daughter lotion, I'd be more than willing to make a trade. <3 

Without further ado, here's a pic of my loot: 


I'm also willing to accept any purple hued Illamasqua nail polish in trade or red.

I am little confused by the repeats.  It seems that:

Everyone (so far) has gotten the 1) lipgloss 2) hair mist and 3) loofah soap and then either the 4) carol's daughter cream or nail polish, and 5) the foot lotion or body oil.

for those of you who haven't gotten a shipping email yet, i was in the same boat but now i have a tracking number on the website.  so yours might be up too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I will be so sad if I get the Illamasqua again, maybe to the point of unsubscribing. I absolutely hated it the first time.

I find it disappointing that they are repeating samples already...

Ooo I checked that earlier this morning and didn't have a tracking number, but just checked again and it's up! I entered it into the USPS website and the only thing stated is that it was picked up by the shipping partner in Kearney, NJ on October 11 - 1 week ago. I'm assuming I'm just going to receive it any day now even though there are no updates.

            Yeah, that's how I felt. It was unfortunate. I think I would have flipped had it been in a different color, but they so "graciously" gave me a double. Um... No thanks. lol

I unsubbed. GB really isn't for me. Especially since MG/Ipsy has really stepped it up. 

 

[fireflyy]

Ugh, so irritated. I still haven't gotten my birchbox!

I checked the tracking and on the 16th it said my package was "undeliverable" and to contact the seller. What the heck?

I did just recently move, but I updated the shipping address and Ipsy & Love with Food came alright, so I wonder whats going on.

That's what mine says, too..but if I track it at newgistics.com , it says "Shipping INformation Received" on the 11th and nothing since then. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So I don't think it's actually shipped yet.

I think only new subscribers are getting the Heel stuff and Illamasqua. I got my box today and I got an

enzyme face peel
in the place of the heel balm. I've been subscribed to every GB since it started and nothing was repeated. I was very happy about that.

What color gloss did you get?

 

[Rachel Liane]

I called and was told that those that got their tracking information today's boxes' shipped yesterday and we should be receiving them saturday...i call bs. I doubt it will be here by sat if tracking information hasn't updated.

 

[princess2010]

Here's a pic of the sample I got instead of the heel balm.

I'll upload some pics! Hold on a sec.

 

[Playedinloops]

still no tracking for me, in my account or otherwise. I'm assuming they "forgot" again like they did last month. How do they keep forgetting to send a box  to me when I already gave them the money for a three month sub?? urghhhhh.
