Get Your First Month of Birchbox for $1!

Sorry if this is a repeat post, my other ones don’t seem to show up:

When did you sign up? And how did you figure out you were getting a May box? I signed up with a code last week when the May box was still featured on their site so I figured I’d get May. But now the June box is on their homepage, so if someone were to sign up now with the code (I think i read below it is good till May 28) I wonder if they would start with June?

It will show 0.00 until you select annual or monthly. Then you need to enter the code in the code/coupon spot which should change the price to $1.00.

I’m planning to wait til the morning of the 31st to unsubscribe.

I was looking into this myself and their cancelation policy says that if you have been charged, you will still receive the box you paid for regardless of subsequent cancelation.

I had a box that was supposed to ship on the 25th, but it ended up shipping on the 20th. So you might get a shipping notification earlier than the 29th. I’d wait until the tracking number to be safe.

—shipping on may29—

You need to cancel by 5/31.

You will get the May box. I’d think that you can cancel right after you paid because the order was still processed even if you cancel your account. That’s my understanding, but I’d always stay on the safe side and wait to cancel until it has shipped. However, my two cents is that since you signed up, you might as well stay at least through June. This is because once you get your May box, you’ll have the chance to review the 5 products for points, earning you $5 in the Birchbox shop. Problem is, you can only redeem points in multiples of $10 ($10, $20, $30, etc) so if you stay for June, you’ll pay $10 for the subscription that month and earn another $5 in points for reviews = a total of $10 in the shop to spend before you cancel! So you’ll end up paying $11 (plus tax) for two months of Birchbox and earn $10 back to spend on whatever you want! Hope that helps.

When I created a second account for the beautyblender, I included the same preferences and described my skin/hair the same way as in my primary account, mainly because I’d rather get things I can use than things that won’t work for me at all, even if they end up being repeats. In fact, I was expecting repeats when I did this! However, I wound up with a completely different box on this second account (one of the best boxes I’ve ever gotten with Birchbox, funny enough!), with all things I can still use because they definitely still took my profile into account. I’m really not sure why I’d get a totally different box, while you got the same exact one, but I wanted to share my experience with that. I’d think you may have gotten unlucky with yours, and I got unexpectedly lucky with mine.

Lol I did the same thing !! How can you not do it getting paid 8 dollars to sign up for birch box ! I referred my self twice !!

Do you have to use a different name and address for the refer account.

I’m not sure if it’s a yes on June 1st as the FAQS said after you receive your 1st box then you are enrolled in regular billing on the 1st of the month and this box says it ships on the 2nd. Any other thoughts/ideas on this?

I would expect to be.

They emailed me back and said they would put the points back -yea!

Okay.I had 350 and it took 200..

Someone said I wouldn’t lose my points. Darn! That was like 20.00. It took 200 of my points.

It’s just a glitch. Email Birchbox and they will help. They don’t just randomly take points for no reason.

Her family is from WA. She actually goes by her fiancees last name, which is far more common. Hth. 😉

Well if you go back far enough, we’re all related. 😉

Thanks for the info about restarting the sampling process! Definitely good to know for canceling and resubbing. Also, I I doubt they’d send the June box on June 1st. They have all boxes for each month shipped out by the 10th, but definitely not on the 1st. These boxes are most likely for May.

You’ll get the May box.

I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong: but I’m pretty sure I read somewhere a long time ago when I was first subscribing that canceling “resets” your account, making it possible for you to get products you’d received before you canceled. Birchbox insists that they’ll never send repeats, but if you cancel and resub, it’ll be a brand new account. Does anyone know if this is the case? That’s the reason I’m always wary of canceling my primary account.

no it does not affect your previous points or accounts. and there is no waitlist.
