Birchbox: The December boxes

[SmokeyEye22]

Yeah I haven't been impressed with my 2 boxes I've received so far. Hopefully they step it up soon.

anyone drik the orange e boost yet?????

 

 

[eliza7]

I drank it.  I liked it.  The flavor is like an orange soda.  If you don't usually drink coffee I'd recommend not drinking the whole packet at once- it is pretty strong!  I drank about 1/3 of it each day.

Still waiting for my December box.

According to the tracking #, it left N.J. on Dec. 23rd.  Anyone know how long, taking the holidays into consideration, it may take a pkg. to get to Utah from Jersey?

Is anyone else still waiting for December?

Unless it was sent via USPS Priority Mail you won't see THAT box until mid-January if it shipped via Streamlite! Contact BB and let them know you're unhappy about your box only having left NJ a few days ago.

Wow! 

 This makes me grateful I even got mine. No matter how disappointed I was with it. I would check your account to make sure you got your points that were promised.

I haven't tried mine yet--is it fizzy like Airborne?

some of the "retail value" for items is a little ridiculous. I remember those minteas I got in november were marked as like 9.99 or something, but I saw them for 1.99 at my local supermarket.

Each tin retails for $2.99 and what's sold on Birchbox is a set of 3. Wish the stores around here sold it for $1.99 because I loved the lemongrass one I got in my Eco-Emi box.

I'm still waiting for mine. It's finally in my city, so I should be getting it tomorrow (I hope).

I did notice that a number of their items can be found for cheaper elsewhere.  Made me less excited about earning the birchbox points.  For example, the Borghese Fango Active Mud (size 17.6 oz) is $64 on the Birchbox site, and $31 at Amazon.com!

I always check Amazon before I buy things on Birchbox. Sometimes it's the same price and other times I can get things on Amazon way cheaper.

I still love Birchbox, and I love my subscription, but... I just received my December box...

1. I was supposed to get the Blandi dry shampoo (which I was sooooo looking forward to), but I didn't, and got the Porefessional instead.

2. My account never reflected the Porefessional, so I can't leave feedback right now for it.

3. My Olie sample dripped *everywhere*. I have barely any sample left.

Emailed them tonight. Hoping to hear back. In the meantime, I will take huggles and sympathy.

Here's my question, and forgive me if someone already asked this, I'm at work and can't read thru 19 pages to see, but what about the "no duplicates" policy? I've gotten this "birchbox pink" jouer lipgloss sample before, and haven't worn it because its just too bright for me. So since I have two subs, I'm gonna get two more that I won't use? Doesn't make sense. Lol I guess I'm the only person that isn't excited for her birchbox this month, they just seem to keep declining for me. Ohwell, can't please them all, right?
