Only got my YBD box dispatch email today. :mad:
Why has it taken a week to dispatch?

I get the feeling this month's been popular judging by the sellouts. I ordered at just after Midnight on the 1st and mine was only dispatched on Friday. And my dispatch email was only sent after I recieved the box!

Has anyone had a peek at the Birchbox Spoiler this morning this month? I'm tempted to sub after looking at it, but will they be teeny tiny samples and disappoint me...

Hi Laurell, I think (hope) those are the actual sizes this month. Some of the products have been in BB before so I can tell you the ones I know.

The RMK product (the little pink coloured bottle on the right with the silver top - could be primer or make-up base) is 15ml, which is half full size. The shampoo was full size. There's been a Balm make -up product before, which was a sample size, and was quite small. The Laura Mercier body lotion previously was 30ml.

Thanks! Ah, so it's just for new subscribers, oh well never mind! It would have been my husband that got them anyways! :rotfl:

I cancelled my box after the Feb box and reordered for this month but for the email 2 days after i signed up so maybe it's an auto email planned before the months end?

I'm wondering whether to skip this months LMB and order BB instead, i cancelled it in Jan as it was rubbish but it's got to be better than LMB this month

How do you skip the box? I wasn't inspired by this months but chose one anyway. This months LMB box is ok & only ok

If you go to your account and your subscription information there is sometimes an option to click "pause" there, but mine didn't have that last month so I emailed them and they just add a note to your account saying not to send you a box.

That reminds me I need to email them still as nothing in this month's box appealed to me enough!

I used the 'pause' button and then emailed them, as they take the money from my account the week before the 1st of April i emailed them, they offered me a refund or a credit for the cost of the box, i chose the credit and will redeem it next month if it appeals more x

Thank you ladies- will do that if nothing appeals next month. Although I miss the surprise element of BB & GB at least you are not potentially buying a box that you don't want.

I might re activate BB - the chocolate is too tempting !!

That's why I go with LMB and they've had decent boxes recently, but such a shame this month's products are so average.

Yeah the chocolates tempting me too (although I keep saying I need to start a diet, lol) plus I'm thinking even if I just sub for 1 month I'll get 50pts if I use a referral link and 50pts if I complete the product surveys which equals £10 to spend in the BB shop. Which means you practically get your money back

i dont think u get 50pts for doing the surveys more like 30? (6 surveys x 5 pts) and then 12pts for ordering the box so you will have 92pts, unfortunately just short of the £10 mark

Well I have 980 points on my paused BB account. Think I will re subscribe this month & get myself up to the £10. Add the chocolates and it's an actual bargain
