Yeah...the hoarder in me says "GET TWO BOXES IN NOVEMBER! Mwuahahaha."  But I have extras/samples coming out of my ears so probably best to keep it at one box/month.  :-D

And by one box, I mean one box of Glossybox, one box of Birchbox, and maybe I'll keep my Ipsy sub going thru January since they said they're going to be awesome... And if TestTube or TotalBeauty come out with a good set, one box from them too!

(I need help.)

I want to sign up with the COSMO code too...I thought the NYFW code would give an extra month, not a box from a previous month. Don't know if I can justify the two November boxes though. Eh.

think i'm cancelling Glossybox after this month and trying Ipsy. while the samples are good size, if i can't use them, it's a waste. makeup for me is much more useful and Ipsy is 1/2 the cost. of course, the customer service issues and pack-mule shipping service make it easy to drop GB. i still have BB and SS, along with the occasional TT and TB collection, of course.

i had the same thought but reconsidered after seeing the Oct box and because it would appear the subs are sold out until the December box?!

I love Popsugar! And they often have coupon codes so definitely check out their FB page. I know November is sold out but maybe you can get in for December! PS sorry for being an enabler lol. ETA Popsugar and GB are my faves, which may mean it may be time to bump BB..

See, I like the October box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am likely going to sub for December if a decent discount code pops up. I like Glossybox but this month's is pretty blah for me.

I finally got my tracking email today, granted the box has been in transit since the 11th, and the tracking #'s been on the website for a bit now. I wonder if they're purposefully waiting on the emails since Newgistics is the equivalent of carrier pigeon so that we're not disappointed when the scheduled delivery date is 2 weeks from when the ship date was.

How do you like Beauty Army? I'm thinking about starting up that one because it's looked pretty amazing so far. I'm tempted to sign up for that one and Testtube

 

[gypsiemagic]

errgh, they sent my box to my billing address even though my addresses are correct in my account.

I emailed them, but will definitely call them tomorrow

I just got back from Orange County and had all my boxes waiting for me, but not Glossybox,  I was sad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I received my box on Saturday, and just got the Tracking email yesterday.

So for those who are waiting for Box/email, perhaps you'll get your box before the shipping notification.

 

[Ashitude]

You guys talking about all these boxes! I already get GB, BB, Sample Society, and Ipsy. Now I am going to go look at the others. My husband is going to give me the look that lets me know I am going a bit insane.  I am blaming all of you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Alright, my impatience is turning into annoyance. Whatever happened to "we ship by the 3rd week of the month"? People started getting their boxes on the 17th...almost a week later many of us haven't even gotten shipping information. Ridiculous.

I received a defective lipgloss duo from GB a couple mos ago, and e-mailed them about it.  One side is busted, so the product seeps out.  I received a response from them (I asked if they could replace the gloss, which is full).  They said:

Thank you for your email. At this time we cannot offer replacements for the Senna Lipgloss.

Kind regards,

The GLOSSYBOX Team

So, hopefully no one ever receives a defective product in their boxes, because if you do, there isn't anything you can do about it!  I'll stay with them anyway, because I do like the boxes, but I'm disappointed with their customer svc.  I did contact Senna afterwards, and they are willing to replace it if I mail it back to them, which I plan on doing this week.

I wonder if they only have so many extras before running out, or if they send them back to the company who provided the samples after a certain timeframe. I was one of the ones who had received the busted Glossybox lipstick in September's box and had emailed fairly soon after receiving it and they sent out a replacement within a week or so.

 

[Hellocat4]

Dragon, it is partially my own fault for not being prompt in notifying them.  I did not realize the gloss was busted until a month after I received it (I didn't open it or mess with it).  I'm guessing they would have handled it better if I had e-mailed them right away.
 

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Good customer service goes a long way with me toward keeping my business.  I'm glad to hear that when Glossybox could no longer replace the Senna that Senna was willing to, and that Glossybox was willing to send out replacements earlier but ran out.

The best way to describe Beauty Army is a good birchbox without the points... meaning you will get 1 full size something, at least 2 deluxe size something and sadly some foil packets. But you know exactly what you're getting. And the skip a month is pretty awesome so I can exercise restraint if all their samples suck on a particular month. Even without the points, you get a free box with every 3 referrals.

Hey if i'm going down, I'm taking everyone down with me. I can't be the only one in the loony bin.
