That’s really odd! I bet if you contact them they will send out a replacement box! They are good like that!
Can’t believe that you already got it!!! Shipping takes forever from birchbox!!!

Ugh! I wish I would have read this before purchasing to get the free shipping! But nevertheless I’m excited to get BOTH boxes because I wanted things in each of them. Y’all have got me SO addicted to sub boxes!! ? Yes, I’m blaming y’all lol. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

Lol!! I started with ipsy and now I think I only have seven subs. But I’m constantly getting stuff from Ulta and Sephora in the mail too. It’s CRAZY!!
Jennifer
Crap, I just counted and I’m at 20 subs. Not good.

Me too! I just placed my order this morning, and I just got shipping confirmation and tracking number! Can I get a WOO HOO!?!?! 🙂

Went with a sample selection. The curated box isn’t doing it for me. I don’t like Glamglow well enough to have more dry shampoo and pillow spray. Interested to see what the random box offers up 🙂

Thanks for posting this! I was leaning towards the curated box, but wanted to try the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask. Now I don’t have to choose.
Thanks too for posting the BBSHOP code for free shipping. I was able to use my points and get free shipping so it comes out to $7.60 for me! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thanks for mentioning that code for free shipping here! I still had a review-for-points available that put me at 100 points so between that and the free shipping code I was able to get the curated box for free! Double the Birchbox this month for me! And I’m super excited about (most of) what I’m getting in my regular box.

I ended up buying a $5 loc sharpener I needed anyway, it had free shipping attached and that worked on the box too. They have other cool/ cheap stuff in the free shipping section too.

I love that Loc sharpener. I’ve never had love for a pencil sharpener as I do for that one. I’ve done pencil art and have a lot of sharpeners. Not one that would fit any Loc or Nudestix or BrowGal pencil. I was using an Exacto knife to sharpen them.
I may need to reevaluate my life because I shouldn’t be that happy about a pencil sharpener.

Can someone explain in more detail what you (general) mean by getting both the curated and sample choice boxes and using a code and points? Is this a way to get an almost free box for the price of one and free shipping? I mean, for the price of one including shipping (without the code)?

This box is not worth my $10 that’s why I canceled. If this is their curated box then their random one must be even worse.

I got one and used the BBSHOP code. I had a few BB points so got it for $7.10. This makes me happy, I was torn between this and the sample choices.

Same, I had some points so I got it for $8.80. I bought this and switched my monthly sample choice to the Tata Harper mask.

Chelsea
Yes! Thanks for this info! I had picked the curated box but I switched to the Tata Harper mask and bought one for $10 instead. Best of both worlds! I have to say I hope birchbox keeps up the good work, they’re starting to win me back. I may have to renew my yearly subscription in December.

How did you switch your sample choice after you selected it?

The Mobile App allows you to switch your sample choices

I just ordered one and the code BBSHOP worked for me (on my IPad if that helps).

BBSHOP also worked for me.

For BB members you should get it for $10, just continue checking it out and it will automatically apply a $5 off code plus tax. Shipping is free, unless you’re not a member then I’m not sure.
I love it when they sell these as well! I will take both the sample of my choice and the curated box please 🙂

That is what I am doing! And I think free shipping is only for Aces. I had to select the standard $0.00 shipping option.

Bummer…. BBSHOP didn’t work and i am not paying $17.00

Make sure you are logged into the website with your personal login info you set up. If you arent logged in, the site wont recognize you as a member and then the $5.00 discount will not automatically deduct from your shopping cart. I bet you were not logged into youe account when you tried it!?

Ha, ha! I’ve done that SO many times, and I still never learn. I try to get some offer, see it’s not taking, then start getting frustrated going “Why is it not working? Why is it not working? Why is not- oh…..”

I just tried again just to see and it didn’t work. My guess is it’s a one time use per person code and I think it’s been around for awhile.

I’m a subscriber and used code “bbshop” and it gave me free shipping. It’s the only thing I bought so my total was $10.

Sandra
COOL !! I wondered if that will work. Im doing that too.

So pleased with Birchbox lately! The curation is definitely improving!

Awww, I was going to order one of these but it looks like they are charging for shipping. I didn’t realize that was the case. Guess I will just have to settle for the one I will receive with my sub.

Sorry didn’t mean to reply directly to your post.

Awesome! I had picked the curated box as my sample choice but changed my sample pick to the Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask instead and bought this box. Free shipping as an Ace and I had some leftover points so it was only $4.50 for the box. 🙂

Is there a way to change a selection? I chose the curated box and then wanted to change it to the pick and just buy box as an addition, but I doesn’t let me change it. Is there a way to do it? Thank you!

Smart for them to offer subscriber specific pricing but also allow non-subscribers to purchase the curated box. Much like BeautyFix and BattlBox offer one time purchase boxes at a higher price for non-subscribers. I think that works well for sub’s that send out set items vs variations every month.
