I was supposed to get box 3 and got it, but I've seen people a few pages back getting 15 instead.

I guess I should have read your post first, sorry about that. So I guess it's just random then. Lol

oh ok. i guess i'll try it out and see how it works. thx

Still no boxes for us despite the tracking saying my eldest daughter's box has been in town since Thursday. Most likely she'll get it Monday.

 

[PDubA]

My dashboard on BB just updated!  (I get my box Monday)

My weight was .493 (Which I have not seen anyone with yet on this thread)

I am getting:

Jouer Moisture Tint

Osace de le Renta live in love

Larabar

Stila Lip Glaze Trio (SO EXCITED!!)

Alterna Bamboo UV+ Color Fade Proof Fluide

Earbuds
I am REALLY PUMPED!

Not only did I get box 3 instead of 15 (I'm especially cranky about that mixup since I was looking forward to every item in 15, and box 3 is a *huge* disappointment), but the lip gloss was missing!  And I'm an annual subscriber, so I'm already set until February.  I reviewed everything on my profile (I'm hoarding points on that account, so I will take any they accidentally give me) and sent email before I forgot, and I mentioned that my annual subscription doesn't end until February, so we'll see what happens.  I have huge problems remembering to actually *call* for pretty much everything. I *finally* made a dentist appointment after more than a *year* only because there's a dentist on my way to my bus stop (and half a block from my office), so I just popped in there on my way home from work Friday night.  Anyway.  My point.  I really hope they respond via email because I just forget to call during business hours.

And then I also received two box 12s (with Eyeko liners).  The cards state that they have the minteas, but the profiles indicate Larabars, and Larabars were indeed sent, so someone needs to do a better job of proofreading the cards before submitting them to the printer.  And 3 and 12 both have the Jouer Luminizer (all are in Pearl, and I'm pasty, so at least I received the palest shade even if the precise color doesn't work on me), and the 12 Luminizers are the smaller size, and the one in 3 is the larger one.  Just in case anyone was keeping track.

ugh, sorry to hear your horrible experience. this mixup is really annoying now! i am sure you'll get it resolved somehow. at least you got the bb points, right? haha. what color eyekos did you receive? seems this time around they sent out more black versus colored ones.

 

[bbaz123]

would anyone be willing to trade an eyeko liner for the stila lip gloss in camera? i'm not a fan of glosses.

I am beyond irritated with USPS. My box has been in town since monday morning and I still haven't received it. I called USPS today to figure out what's going on and the man I spoke to said since it's standard mail it could take up to 8 days for them to get it to me.....Estimated delivery date was Friday so I thought I'd get it a few days early but no. I want my box =(

I got box 13.

Did anyone receive this box, too? Or any box containing the...

Klorane Chamomile Shampoo?
It says it is specifically targeted toward (natural or chemically-created) blonde hair. Well, I have (dark) blonde hair, so win for me, but I wondered how many people got this who do not have blonde hair? Did BB actually tailor something to our profile, or was this just a lucky coincidence for me? I'm not even sure I filled out what color my hair is in my profile -- is this an option on the profile?

Just curious!

Also I was surprised to find that I liked

the Jouer lip enhancer and the Juliette Has a Gun fragrance sample! Yay!
I have blonde color treated hair! I think they actually did send this to only blondes, I am pretty excited, I know Lush and a few other brands use chamomile in their blonde enhancing products as well!

Yes, they really messed up this month. They switched the #3 with the #15 and vice versa. Luckily I wasn't thrilled with the box I was supposed to get (15), or I would have been bummed when I got a different box.

It happened to me last month, too. I have 2 accounts, and one box just dropped off the map. So CS sent me a box they had available. Then the original box finally showed up after its trip around the universe, and it wasn't the box I was supposed to get. I let it go because they had fixed my profile so I could fb for the substitute box, and I got an extra free box.  However, what I REALLY wanted was the box I was supposed to have gotten!

But this is 2 months in a row I've gotten the wrong box! And this month was on both my accounts. Even though the profiles are different, I always get box twins.

I guess in a way it's good that we can't tell in advance anymore what we're getting, because for many of us it would be a lie anyway.

It's not a Stila trio - it's one shade.  Also, sorry to de-pump you, but you're supposed to get box #3, which means that you have a good chance of getting box #15.

    Since you're excited to get #3, I hope you do get it.  Good luck!

 

[tameloy]

I kinda hope my box is wrong...I'm supposed to be getting box 19.

 

[Steffi]

I got my box yesterday.  While I liked it when I got it, not as much now I actually TRIED things(box 6)....

Color Club Nail Polish...I got Blue-Ming and mine is thick as well.  However I'm a polish junkie and can easily fix that with thinner.

Boscia BB Cream...I put a tiny dab on my hand to try...it makes me itch.  Can't use the rest.

Annick Goutal whatever perfume...Meh.  Scent is okay at best, but hate the vials that don't have the spray top.

Stila Lip glaze..I got Action.  The COLOR is nice, however it feels like I put superglue on my lips it's so sticky.  It also took forever to click it up and when it did a bit shot out the tip.  Not a fan.

Mints..I got lime mojito.  They're alright, not good enough to warrant spending the money to buy.

Earbuds- I can't wear earbuds.  They're going to be traded.

OK, I'm yet ANOTHER customer who should have received box 15, and instead got box 3. I've been following all of the conversation on here, so I was pretty sure this was going to happen, but I waited until I actually got my box today to make sure. I am BEYOND ticked off. I really, really wanted to try the hair mask I SHOULD have received, and I also wanted to try the mints and the Juliette perfume. Instead, I received the Jouer LMT, Oscar perfume, and Alterna spray. In the past 2 months, I have gotten all of these items from Sample Society. I know that's not BB's fault, but the fact that I waited 4 days, thinking I was going to get 3 products I was excited about, only to find that they were replaced with items I already had, just makes me ANGRY!!! And to add insult to injury, my Jouer is in bronzed. I'm so pale, I've been referred to as a ghost.

My question is - has anybody been offered ANYthing besides next month free? I'm sorry, but I don't care if they give me next month free! All my bills like this go on my mom's cc, and I give her one big check every month. What's $10, really, when you do it that way? I'm calling them Monday, and I'm going to ask if they can at least send me samples of the hair mask or the perfume. I understand maybe not having the whole box lying around to send everyone, but since they're so keen on recycling samples anyway (for months on end!) they should have individual ones that they could send out. TBH, it was THEIR mistake! I have always LOVED Birchbox. Even when other people were complaining, I never felt it worth my time to call them. I even got the mostly empty Dr. Jart the first month they sent it out. I was able to cover my face once, albeit sparingly, so I didn't feel that I needed to contact them for another sample. However, this time, I was just too excited for something that never came. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I'm complaining needlessly, but, to me, offering next month free is not enough.

I haven't seen anyone offered anything except next month free, although someone had mentioned that BB said they were looking into seeing if they could send out the correct box to people. 

I feel the same way about that box. I really wanted the perfume and mask and mints!! Good luck in your quest and let me know how it goes!!

Nevermind I read it wrong.

 

[Claudia Marcus]

How do you know your box number? I can see on my tracking info that my box weighs just under .5 lbs.

 

[Claudia Marcus]

Seriously? An apple turnover? The weight of the food is probably the heaviest thing in the whole box. I know, I know, most of my comments have been negative today.

Long time Lurker, first time poster:

I got box number 4, and two of my samples were missing (Live in Love and the Jouer Moisturizing Tint). The Eyeko Skinny Liner is bright purple, so the only really usable sample is the Boscia blotting sheets. The Cherry Cobbler Larabar was good, but the headphones are crap (tossed off to sister).

I'm really hoping next month is a great box. 
If you don't want the purple eyeko liner, and are interested in trading let me know.

shammycat,

did you contact BB customer service? I think they'll be able to help you out and get those samples to you or give you more points. that is sad!
