However my 2nd account I've had 3 months with no problems. Funny how it has worked out.

Did you ask for the replacement box or was it just offered when you called to notify them of the mix up?

Oh man, also had the same mix up, but they didn't offer to send the correct box to me, even though I asked! And I was really looking forward to that one. Oh, well. Let us know how the box is!

Anyone get the Stila Lip Glaze in the color Action?

It's so pretty, so I took some pics, but it is hard to capture the color on camera.

With flash..shows the shimmer and color better, but of course captures my discoloration too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got mine yesterday, so don't feel too left out lol.  I really wish there wasn't such a gap between when people get their boxes.

I just bought a sample of Eau Flirt. I hope I like it! Everyone seems to like it, though, and lavender and pumpkin are my two favorite scents EVER. How could you go wrong?

P.S. If anyone else wants to buy something from Harvey Prince if you find someone on FB (like me) who has bought something you can click the link to get 35% off and the person you used the link from gets 35% back on what they already ordered! PM me if you want to friend me on FB to use the 35% off!

By the way did anyone else have missing Suki packets this month?

No toner & cream for me.. I called BB and they said they were out of stock so they gave me 100 points. Bummer since I always wanted to try Suki. I have seen them in my local health food store, but didn't want to shell out the money before trying. 

 

[that1girl]

It was offered. I probably would have asked if they wouldn't have offered. Box 3 just wasn't for me at al and i was really looking forward to the lady vengance perfume!

 

[that1girl]

I talked to Audrey. I was pretty blunt about my issue the first thing out of my mouth was "I got the wrong box" my husband laughed at me.

 

[xheidi]

i just made a purchase for the benefit the porefessional and the amika mourishing mask (even though no one answered me how it smelled or how the product is like). hopefully i'll like it cus i like the mask i received this month but a bit too pricey for me...

 

[AngeBrooklyn]

Ooo, the color looks so pretty on you.  I haven't tried mine yet I had totally planned to swap the Stila when it came (overflowing with lipstick, glosses, etc already--a problem many of us have), but the color was so pretty that it's now a keeper.

Fuhhh... I guess I should feel unique or some thing. I was supposed to get box #5 and my card says that that's what I got. However, instead of the Boscia cream, Harvey Prince hello and Amika Hair Treatment  I've been dying to try, I got this:

Amika Nourishing Hair Mask

Harvey Prince eau Flirt

2 Packets of Supergoop Serum

Eyeko Liner in Black

Color Club Blue Ming

Uber Toasted Nut Roll

Earbuds

This isn't even one of the boxes on the list, but a hodgepodge. Not that it's horrible, but I've joined the ranks of the screwed over. They must have run out of the goodies I wanted. I'll be trading the Eyeko since I wanted the Olive.

Well there goes my big city theory. 

 Maybe it's just being on the west coast!

EDIT: Actually, I see some people on the east coast are also waiting a long time for delivery. That makes no sense to me at all!

Uh oh.. I'm supposed to be getting Box 5 today and I really want what's listed (especially the BB cream), not a hodgepodge.. Did you end up calling Birchbox about this?

I never saw your question, but I got the Amika mask in a previous box! I can't remember exactly what it smelled like but I remember it smelled pretty good. It made my hair super super soft though. I really loved it.

Thanks! I know what you mean. I was going to trade the lip glaze till I saw the color I got! It's so pretty. It reminds of a lip color I tried before but i can't pinpoint what it was..Oh well.

 I think the email you got was for your free box for next month. I called this morning and they said they would give me next month's box free (but I wasn't offered the correct box that I should've gotten). Soon after I got off the phone my account was fixed to reflect that I got box 3 instead of 15 (which is the one I should've gotten), then I got the email saying my order was processed. That threw me for a loop because I didn't know what order they were talking about but if you really look at it, it says ship date is August 10th. So I'm sure that's for the free August box. At least in my case. Definitely check that and if it has that mid August date, I'm pretty sure the order processed email is just showing your august box has been comped to be free instead of them taking out 10.00 for it.

Yea, mine was about an hour or so away at the MI place for almost a week.  I did get it on the expected date though.  But months ago, it was always at least 3 days early.  I used to get it like 2 days after it shipped.  They say they have not changed shipping method so IDK.

Edit** well, more of an addition--I am on the east coast.

 

[cheetahchirps]

Do you know if when it says "sorting facility" that it's actually a sorting facility or at a post office being sorted?

I think you are right about it just being UPS MI because like you said seperately they get things done MUCH faster then with their team work. I only have trouble recieving birchbox and myglam - but the other subscriptions use a different service and i get those pretty fast. Tisk tisk.

The only sorting entry I get is at the local post office, and its delivered the same day. In my case, it was sent to the main city post office on July 12, sat there until July 16th for whatever reason, and then made it to my town's little post office on the 16th, where it was sorted, out for delivery, and delivered the same day.

Also keep in my mind that with it being summer, there are vacations so you might be getting some rookie who knows nothing about the route, or another carrier who did his own route first. They work them 6 days a week for at least 10 hours a day, even people not on the overtime list, some of it unpaid, and in this heat its tough. The PO refuses to hire carriers, and they've been understaffed for years.

Got my box today. It was delivered yesterday, but I wasn't in town. I am quite pleased with it. Although, I was missing a sample. Granted, it was the tea mints, but still, a missing item is a missing item. I've already emailed them and I know they have great customer service so I'm not worried at all. My mom had a sample missing from her box this month too. Seems they had lots of box issues this month. For people that have had a missing item, did they send you said item or give you 100 points for compensation?
