Birchbox November 2012 - Page 17

refresh, refresh, refresh  

I didn't get a shipping email, but my information has updated, and I have a delivery date of the 13th, and a weight of .5780!  I tend to get mine a day or two before the estimated arrival date, so there is a slight chance I'll get mine on the 10th.  Fingers crossed, maybe I can actually stay away from peeking this month!

Mine shipped as well:

Weight (lbs.): 0.4480

:-) Can't wait!
 

no shipping info for me :(  question for people who have gotten gift subscriptions in addition to their regular sub - if i just got my welcome box yesterday (it was sent before i attached my gift sub to my regular sub) will i still get the regular november box or are they counting this as my "november" box? i'm hoping the former because i'm actually looking forward to this month. 

I had box 8 for the last 3 months but I changed my profile this month because I got anti frizz serum 3 months in a row. I also usually get my box at least a day before it is expected!

They're counting it as your November box, because I received mine at the end of October and it said my next box will ship in December.

Right, and I got the October welcome box and it wasn't nearly as impressive. I actually sent them a very angry message on facebook about how they needed to stop putting terrible things in the welcome box because it was supposed to be a gift and it's kind of insulting to give someone a ziploc bag as a part of a gift. I am not sure that had anything to do with it or even influenced it, I'm really glad they stepped it up. Aaah I wish I'd gotten that welcome box though. It is filled with super awesome things *grabby  hands*

No shipping info for me. Boo

check your pts....I was missing one as well and they said they would send another.....it never came then checked my pts and they gave me 100pts for it......so thinking they did that instead of sending sample.....

They gave me 100 pts and a new sample of MOX.  

and...

My shipping says  .0692 and estimated delivery date of Nov 13 - im sure it will be delayed though since i live at the Jersey shore and still without power

Well, finally reactivated my BB account. :) I have a tracking number, but no shipping info yet. I'm okay with that. In the past I've gotten some of the later boxes and they've been excellent (full-sized makeup or other great samples).

I have tracking but no info :(

Maybe one of you will know the answer to this mystery...

I've been checking out the Oscar Blandi page on Birchbox    http://www.birchbox.com/shop/brand-view-all/?brand=oscar-blandi The travel size and the full size spray are listed as 4oz, but the prices are very different! I'm thinking this is a mistake. Does anyone know what the real sizes are?
 

My tracking info hasn't updated. Womp womp.

Amen!  Me too.  Just cause I love Stila and in the 9 or 10 months I've been with BB I still haven't gotten anything from Stila despite all the Stila they send out.

Not that it's the same product, but I imagine the sizes are the same.  Sephora has the travel listed as 1.4 and full size as 4 - along with an even smaller at .75

Eff yes.I wonder if the pages are redirecting yet..Hmmmmmmmmm.

I totally have my fingers crossed for the OLO stuff

Quite a few items have just been added to the shop, including a bunch of gift sets.  No limited edition boxes yet though.  The OLO serum is a 2 pack for $59.  I'm glad I should get my 9 month discount this month, I can finally use all the points I've been hoarding.

just got mine :)   

the birchbox website is currently down for maintenance, so fingers crossed that the november boxes and LE christmas box will be on there when they're done! (:

edit: the website is back up & the holiday shop is on there now!! (:

They added a holiday section, but still no LE box.  Tons of other good stuff though!

OOh I like the new holiday gift sets they just added! I have my eye on that Caudalie set..
 

Okay, I'm confused.

How does having a tracking number spoil the surprise?  They moved the tracking number to the Account Settings page "so we don't ruin the surprise."  But it's just a tracking number.  You don't see any tracking information unless you click on it.

However, once they update your Box page for that month, they DO ruin the surprise by showing you all the goodies you're getting that month before you get them!

Huh?

I think they mean they don't want you to have to go to the box page to track your package so in case you don't want to see your box contents you don't have to (whereas before, you'd have to see your box contents to track a package, now you don't have to click on the box tab unless you want to)
 

Hey I was pondering items that birchbox could send us as "extras" and I really though I could use a nice pair of gloves since it will soon be cold in my area. I know that some people live in areas that gloves might not be useful. What other items can you guys think of?
