Yup, you get the $15 off $50 every month, and it's good towards any BRAND (not just product) in the box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Are you referring to the SS code? I tried doing it without ANY of the products in the box and it wouldn't let me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> am i doing something wrong? It said I had to...

It'd good towards any product of the brand that was in the box. For example, you dont have to order the Jouer moisture tint, but you can order any product from Jouer that they have on their website. I hope that helps.

I got my shipping notice for 1 of my 2 boxes yesterday! I'm in Texas

Yes it's any brand in the box - not just any product in the box. Just the brands that are represented that month.

The $15 off $50 Sample Society is good ONLY on purchasing products from any of the brands listed that month. For example, BBSOCIETYJUN is only good if you have at least one item (any item) from Alterna, Caudalie, Oscar de la Renta, Jane Iredale or Murad. So say I wanted to use that $15 off $50 but there really wasn't anything I wanted from those products I would pick something like the Jane Iredale blotting paper refills for $4.50 then had another $45.50 in items to buy to use that $15 off. This is why I dropped SS because $15 a month in products that I get in Birchbox isn't worth it to me when the "rewards" of Sample Society require me to spend $35 a month on products ($50 - $15 = $35). At least with Birchbox I'm spending only $10 a month and earning between 40 to 60 points per month which after every 100 points I can redeem for $10 and stack that to earn free products without paying a dime out of pocket.

I'm always losing earbuds...so excited for the neon ones. I also LOVE larabars. What are you guy's feelings about the constant amount of partnerships each month? I think its a good idea but the quality of the boxes is obviously a huge factor.

Got my shipping notice today. This is my fourth box and I think this is the earliest I have gotten it. Last months was maybe a day or two after this. Will take forever to get to me in Oregon, but I am sure I will waste plenty of time speculating on what I am getting before my box gets here. Finally getting some friends to use my referrals too, can't wait for those points!! And Zadidoll is right, BB has the best point system of any sub I have researched which makes a huge difference in value to me and I am sure a lot of other people. I didn't understand the points at first for my first BB so I didn't review my products and I got the Befine that was expired and didn't claim my 100 points for that either, so I am anxious to get more points. The point system is a big part of what is making a lot of my friends want to subscribe.

 

[quene8106]

woo hoo! got my shipping weight: 0.6710.  Does anyone have this weight?

 

[elviscupcake]

No weight on mine yet. Does anyone know if you get points for purchasing gift subs for people at all? I just bought one as a birthday gift for my sister and didn't see any info.
 

 

[kahless]

My shipping weight is 0.5480 and the tracking says it's supposed to arrive on the 12th!

This is only my 3rd box (1st was Gossip Girl, then June, then this Glamour box).  I personally liked last months box much better than the Gossip Girl one.  HOWEVER I have high hopes for this box considering the preview.  

I am in Texas and still haven't gotten my shipping notice!  UGH!

I got points for a gift sub to a friend =)

I received shipping notices on both my boxes within a minute of each other, so I'm wondering if I will get 2 of the same boxes.   The weights are different though - 0.5450 and 0.5730.  Does anyone one if my 2 box weights different enough so that I can be fairly sure that they are 2 different boxes?  I just want to know what to expect if my boxes arrive before the 10th when they show up on the website.  My delivery dates are the 12th, but they are in my state now, so I'm quessing Monday.

 

[tulipity]

Meeeee! I will prob buy a few as well. My kids use head phones, and I use them by the pool a lot (don't worry, slathered in sunscreen) and its hard to keep them from turning into jumbled messes. A long time ago, I had a pair that went back in its case jack first and you wound the the rest of it back into the little case. Best headphones ever bc of that case. But I lost them. Prob let one of the kids use them. And I'm prob waaaay past most of the discussion and 4 convos behind everyone else, but the needing to know what's in my box has really lessened for meately for the same reason others have mentioned - being disappointed if I don't get all the most awesome products in one box. I had receieved 6 boxes before I was enlightened of Zadi's Jedi ways to get info abt all sub boxes. Lol. It was fun, and I'm sure I'll peek from time to time (I'm reading this thread, arent I?) but I'm skimming bc the surprise was always the fun part. Then the trading!!

Last month I had a box with a weight of .43 and one was .47 and they ended up being exactly the same. I also got my shipping notices within an hour or two of each other. I have noticed that the shipping weights of the same box can vary more than you'd think.

Thats what I was wondering.  I'm guessing since they shipped at the same time, they are most likely the same box, regardless of difference in the weights.

 

[meaganola]

No shipping notices for me yet.  I have multiple subs, plus there's my aunt's stuff, and we're currently 0 for 6 between the two of us.  Since they switched to UPS MI, I've been getting my notices in the first wave (and usually at least one before my aunt gets anything), but that's not the case this time around, so I'm getting antsy!

They're likely different. While the boxes ship in waves, they do ship multiple boxes at a time...otherwise it'd take them all month to ship them all. There are 31 or so box variations this month? So they'll be shipping quite a few different boxes each day.

It's absolutely worth the $15. This months box, for instance was worth about $65! Great products I've discovered through the service. Check out my blog - I've had every box from the first - if you click on the "Sample Society" tag in the bottom right of the page, it'll show you just those! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I just took a peak, the samples are really big! but it seems like a lot of the items are the same ones I've seen in BB and MG.  I'll have to check it out and see.  Do you get the $15 off $50 every month?


There is sample overlap, but they're always bigger in SS. I am likely going to cancel BB after I get this month's box and go back to SS, honestly. BB has been disappointing me lately.
