Beginning March 25th, Birchbox is updating their pricing structure and improving their box experience. If you are a current subscriber, this change in pricing won’t impact you until June 1st, and if you are an ACE, you keep the $10 a month cost as long as you maintain your ACE status.
Details: Offer valid through 3/24/2019 at 11:59 PM E.T. Subscriptions purchased after this date will be billed at our new rate. Rebillable subscriptions will renew at the new rate upon completion unless opted out of auto-renewal.

This is the first I’ve heard of the price increase. I will be cancelling.

Yeah I signed up using a first15 code I heard of! Brought it down to 100. I’ve tried boxy, glossy and gbp. I’m honestly the most happy with my smaller sample boxes. So it’s a good deal.

I have subscribed off and on to Birchbox for years. It was one of my first subs. Unfortunately since I’ve been subscribed to so many other beauty subs, BB just didn’t compare after a while. I was usually lucky if I got 2 samples I liked or at least wanted to try. And my collection of mini hair styling products takes up a whole drawer which are mainly from BB and I rarely use product on my hair. I also felt they had too many brand and especially product repeats which always confused me since they sell such a wide variety. I’ve continued to buy things from the site fairly frequently due to the good promotions and unique kits and sets. I decided to give them one more try with the 3 month sub using the sleep spray & candle code. I’m really rooting for them to make some great changes so they can remain competitive. The year promo was a good deal but I didn’t want to gamble too much. Hoping they’ll win me over before my sub runs out. I wish they wouldn’t send your first box until the following month. For one thing you don’t get to pick your sample, and for March I own 2 of the 3 in full size already. And for another that really only gives them 2 months to win me over and they have several changes that may not get implemented in time. Oh well. Guess I’ll find out!

hmm. that’s disappointing. I don’t know why but it feels easier to spend $10 on a sample pack than $13

I was going to pass on the $110-per-year deal and wonder whether Birchbox was going to fold soon, but this $99 deal is enough… At $8.25 per box, I’ll even learn to live with their rigid “40% of each box is hair items” policy.
Wonder if they’ll charge me sales tax. If they do, it’s $106 (still less than $9 per box).
I’ll sign up now.

Is this also true for Birchbox Man; that is, the new pricing schedule, and the coupon?

You can only use one code.

So I upgraded from my monthly subscription to a year-long subscription from this. Does that automatically replace my monthly subscription? Or did I technically sign up for two subscriptions? oops haha

Can you use the coupon from upgrading? I tried to change subscription length and it won’t let me use the best year coupon. I cancelled and re-subbed immediately instead! (looks like I’m getting another March box by resubscribing!)

It keeps saying invalid promo code and does not work.

Promo code worked for me, and there was no charge for sales tax.
