I wonder if all of NC goes through the same Durham center. I'm in the Greensboro area, so I guess it's reasonably close now.

I'm also a NCer...mine went through Durham, and the other one is there currently. Of course, I'm only about 20-30 mins away from Durham, tee hee.

Also, I am loving the gloss moderne high-gloss masque right now! I haven't even washed it out yet, but the smell is amazing. I might need to acquire more in trades! XD

And I am near Asheville. It will probably take another day for me. Who knows. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I live in Durham. It would be a nice surprise for it to be there today!

Baha, if we ever trade, we could probably just hand deliver! XD

That would be awesome! So much easier than having to pay for shipping!

I understand all of the arguments regarding the feedback, spoilers, etc.  I have always understood the date that our boxes would update on the website and be allowed to leave feedback would be the 10th of the month.  I don't know where I heard that date, but as soon as the 10th gets here, I get a little (ok, a lot!) antsy to find out what's in my box and I get a bit grumpy if I can't see it by that date.  So, I started looking around on BB's website to see if they had anything definitive in writing that states the 10th of the month.  This is what I found quoted directly from a Feedback FAQ:

"You'll receive 10 Birchbox points for each eligible product feedback survey. Your account will be updated within 1-2 business days with your points. Please note that to be eligible to receive points for your feedback: 1) You must be a current monthly or yearly member in good standing; and 2) You must have received the product sample from Birchbox; and 3) You must fill out the feedback survey within 30 days of receipt of your sample (ie: for women, from June 10th-July 10th for the June Birchbox; for men, from June 25th-July 25th)."

So, I don't think it's unreasonable that we want to be able to at least see the Feedback buttons (therefore, see what we are getting) by the 10th of the month, as per Birchbox's own statement.

So excited I got the beauty blender because the very first box I got (the gg one) had the cleanser and I pissed lolI already tried the jouer from requesting samples but i'm happy to see that birchbox included my right shade which is bronze. Maybe they DO take your profile in account?And also, does anyone else think the hello perfume smells exactly like viva la juicy by juicy couture or is that just me? lol

Definitely happy with my box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

She already answered us lol..that box is heavier than I thought....I imagined more around .4 something or up to .5

Bahaha sorry, I kept clicking spoiler because it wasn't showing up on preview. I'm still new to posting pics for the spoiler obviously lol

But yes, my weight was .6 with a dd for 7/12. Hooray for getting boxes early!

Awesome and woo woo for early boxes! My delivery date is slated for 7/16, but I think I'll get it tomorrow or Friday, because it's in state and an hour away!!!

The statement that they make is pretty misleading. They could have meant e.g. (for example) instead of i.e. (that is) -- but, then why give two different dates for the women and the men? There definitely could be some better clarity to avoid misconceptions and confusion. It would be ideal if BB could give a more accurate time frame for responses and deliveries. Working in IT and business in multiple areas, I could see how it would be realitively simple to develop a system that could eventually estimate basic delivery times to automate release of box information without it being done manually. Of course, this is also dependent on their algorithms for box selection and the phases with which they release each box, but if they manage their data right it wouldn't be too difficult. ~Matahari

They give two different dates because the BBMan boxes ship at a different time and are seperate than the regular BB boxes.

I think what's weighing my box down is probably the mints, which aren't too bad actually.

and ooh fingers crossed you get yours early as well!

 

[angela8815]

I thought it smelled very much like it!!!! And viva la juicy is my fav!!! For once, I am excited about a perfume sample

Thanks...I can't imagine USPS holding my box for a few extra days...i'd be liable to go...postal lol..couldn't resist!

I see what you guys are saying, I guess I just don't take it that seriously - Birchbox is a nice surprise to get every month, and while it's nice to see what I'm getting, the magic is in finding out what they've sent me each month, and what I might fall in love with. I just don't feel like I have an entitled "right" to HAVE to see the products before I get them. That way I just get my box and it's a surprise.

 

[surelyslim]

Same here, representing San Diego! I don't mind the waiting because my packages usually come before the estimate date anyway! So it'll be here before the 16th /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[jessskad]

I got my box today! I am in NC as well but mine went through Durham yesterday. My box weight was 0.5380 and I got box #5.  I really like the perfume...smells amazing!

 I am pretty excited to try the hair care product too.  Not too keen on the eyeliner...I don't really like liquid...might be open to trading that one if anybody is interested!

 

[omgitsliz]

ahhh the weight of my first box is .46. I was really hoping it had the Beauty Blender =/

That's a good outlook. I do love my spoilers, but I've never been dissapointed or mad at BB for whatever boxes they've sent me. We pay money, but we don't get to choose our boxes and the only thing we're entitled to is a box filled some items every month. Whether we like or love or hate the products, is not their fault, but falls back on our tastes! I've mentioned it before, but BB and all the subs are a gamble every month for us..you pay money and hope you get something you like/love in return.

I just wished when they say the 10th that the surveys/reviews stay active until the end of the night. My feedback buttons are still available and the surveys show up and everything, but no points when I submitted last night. Guess that just means I need to be more proactive before the 9th next month.
