That excites me to see that the Harvey Prince has a spritz top!!! The little vials are so hard to manage.

Not for me.... Boo, and my June box info is still up.

Ugh, these headphones stink.

 

[quene8106]

i wonder if they would let us leave feedback for headphones. i don't want to be jipped out of 10 points like i was for the xoxo card back in may...

 

[Lychae]

it's only working if you get the box loaded? i dont have the option for my stila though. 10 more points and i'll have 50.00 =/

I really think this is the one item either way I could care less about. My ears are shaped weird so I can't even use ear buds at all. I have to have the full DJ style old school looking headphones, mostly because of all my ear piercings, lol! I guess they will get added to the give away pile, because I don't think my hubs will be down with using pretty pink ear buds at work...

That's absolutely shocking that they have to load them individually.  Aren't there over 100,000 Birchbox subscribers?  And I can't imagine they have a site/IT staff of more than a very small handful of people...it would be weeks before they're all loaded.  They must have a batch system that's down somehow (just an assumption, but if that's the current customer service response that's the only thing that I can come up with - they certainly don't load them individually every month).  Hopefully they're spending their time on repairing that and only manually loading for people who inquire.  It's not a big deal to me, in terms of how I view their customer service/site functionality - stuff happens that's out of their control, for sure (and I'm intimately involved with webstore development through my job so I know first hand), I'm just impatient!!!!!

That's awesome you've got a larger pair like that! My best friend has to get the ones that go around your ears because of her piercings.

Awh come on, that's a little silly. How would they benefit from being "spiteful?" They want us to pay them money, after all! =) I mean, with so many subscribers, I doubt they do things just to get at the small amount of people on MUT!

My guess is that they haven't updated for coding reasons, some schedule thing we don't know, or maybe to put off complaints as long as possible. XD

If that's true, then why did they take away our "feedback" method of being able too scope out what we're going to get? I just got one of my boxes and can't even leave fb unless I want to go searching for the items.   If I wanted to place an order today using review points for my new items, they're making it hard for me to give them my money.  I don't feel like hunting around for me items to leave fb.

It's not going to make me unsub, but imo they're taking away some of our fun, AND hurting themselves by not updating to July, and I think it's petty of them. Your mileage may vary...

Mine never does. I have to wait till my box loads and then use the link on birchbox to track (the email always seems to have a different tracking number than the site)

My shipping shows a delivery date of Monday, but my box has already made it to a large USPS hub about an hour away! Maybe I'll get it tomorrow?! Woo woo...happy dance!

I would guess because Birchbox can only control the timing of shipping but not the timing of when a person receives their box, they are probably delaying until a majority of people would most likely actually receive their boxes to activate the feedback links. 

Yes, it takes away a lot of our fun. But, it potentially destroys their business model to companies if feedback links are active and customers can review products without having even received them. They sell themselves to companies as a cost-efficient way of giving out samples because of the data companies receive in exchange. Basically, if we want Birchbox to survive as a fun way for us to try out new products, companies have to get what they want out of the deal and accurate data is likely a high priority for them.
