For a limited time, Birchbox is offering 40% off everything in this sale section! And this is the best kind of discount Birchbox does because it is automatically applied in your cart. That means you can stack it with another coupon!

Here's how to make the most of out this sale:


Step 1: Pick your sale items and add them to your cart. You want to get at least $40 worth of merchandise before the discount is applied to trigger the free shipping.

There are a lot of great items in the sale section, but if you're going for maximum value, I'd go with the Limited Edition Boxes and Kits. Here are the ones that are available:

Ugh, I’m trying to buy the nail polish kit and some other things and it’s only taking 30% off not 40%. IDK what’s going on.

So I texted them and they got back to me on Saturday morning, they said they would have their technical team fix it and I could buy it and get the extra 10% refunded. But when I go to the sale page it says it’s actually 30% off now, not 40% like before, so I doubt that would work out well. IDK what was going on, but it looks like they either just changed it to 30 so people would stop complaining or the sale ended.

I bought the Ready for Takeoff kit and it was showing 40% off during checkout, but when I received the invoice, they charged me the full price! I’m so upset.

Same happened with me.. I was also charged full price ☹️ never buying from birchbox again

It’s a pain but they will refund the difference if you get in touch with them. If live chat isn’t an option for you, scheduling a call seems to work best. They haven’t looked at the text I sent them and the first couple of emails I sent got no replies.

At least, I assume they’ll refund the difference. I haven’t gotten a confirmation email yet. I figure worst case scenario I can dispute the charge with my credit card company. I agree though, never buying from them again. It’s not worth the hassle.

Nat

You should use their chat feature to have them adjust the price. I have done this in the past. I used my points to apply to my purchase, but when it went through, it didn’t show points applied. I contacted them through chat and they applied points to my purchase and gave me a refund

Justina

I didn’t see the chat feature as an option but I ended up scheduling a call with them (call never connected) and emailing with them. They tried to tell me the sale was for 30% off initially, even though the sale page still says 40%! Not sure what they’re trying to pull, but I pushed back and ended up getting the full 40% refunded to me. This was such a pain that I’m very hesitant to buy from Birchbox again.

I’m so glad I saw this! I just got all the stocking stuffers for my daughter and mom on one order for less than $30!

Thanks Liz! I got the same two kits you showed in your example, plus the mystery gift and the 6 piece bestseller (Treat2). So excited!

Thanks for the heads up Liz. I am falling short of $1 for free shipping.. haha

I had been eyeing that beautiful Coral Kit for MONTHS, but didn’t want to pay full price. The sale knocked it down to $24 plus tax, and then I had points from swapping out the November box (nothing looked enticing) and the points they gave me as compensation for ruining the Curated Box 2 deal in October. Bottom line, I got the gorgeous Coral Kit and the two mystery samples for $12.76!!!! Yay! Also got 2.5% cash back on the purchase.

What is the Ace discount?

Kc

Great job working those discounts Liz! Love the hacks 🙂

Teri

And just a note that Aces get an additional 25% off purchases of $30 or more! The total discount on sale items is 55% for Aces. 🙂

dia

I can confirm as I placed an order a couple of days ago that the 25% discount for Aces does stack on top of the 40% discount on sale items. However, you cannot choose an additional free gift, because it’s one “promotion” per order, and the 25% is considered a promotion, even though it doesn’t require a code.

Reply ButtonReply

Jamie

Weird! It let me do both. I was able to add TREAT2 to my cart with the stacked 25% and 40% off promos and it is listed in the discounts section I’m my order confirmation email.

Jamie

The extra 25% off stacked with the 40% off sale items in my cart. I think the TREAT3 kit might have sold out, though, because I could not get it to apply but TREAT1 and TREAT2 would. I tried it while having a $75 total after all discounts and it still wouldn’t apply, but the other two codes applied properly as long as my before discount total hit their minimum price threshold.

Liz Cadman

Teri, I don’t think the 25% off Ace discount applies to the sale section. Are you able to get it to work?

Reply ButtonReply

Teri

Hmm, it looks like it works … I just added The Skincare Fundamentals Kit and The Inside & Out Body Kit to my cart, along with the mystery sample pack and gift with purchase. The subtotal is $54, the discount is $34.20, and the total is $19.80 plus tax. The note under Discount says: “VIP Free Shipping, Free Sample Pack with $35+ Purchase, Spend $35+, get a free Acure Brightening Mask Duo, Shhh! ACES—We’ve given you early access to our Black Friday deal. Get 25% off $30 for a limited time., Sale! Additional 40% Off Select Items for Aces.” Not sure why it’s working, but I’ll take it!

Liz

I don’t think it will work either. I placed an order a few days ago when both promos started, and I did not get the 25% off since I was buying the sale kits.

I also question whether I will get the freebie with purchase (not the mystery sample pack). It was in my order as you showed in your screenshot, but was not in the packing list in my email. I guess I will find out when I receive my items!

Jenny

Ugh! I used the coupon for 40% off boxes and so I couldn’t get a freebie GWP… this is such a better deal!

Liz

Yeah, I was annoyed with that too. Everything you needed the 40% coupon for just moved to the sale section a few days later!
