Disclosure: This post includes my personal Birch Box order process review for which I was not compensated but it may contain affiliate / referral links. Read the full disclosure.
Full disclosure…going into this order I was pretty much unofficially an official fan. (huge spongy #1 fan finger here) Their site had already woo’ed me with its efficiency, which you can read in my First Impressions review here.
I’m a rule follower. I like order. I like structure. I like symmetry. I like processes that are simple to navigate my way through. Did I mention order?
Note to Self: find subscription box that’s curated to people with control issues.
It’s a wonder I’m still married and haven’t sent my kids off to boarding schools in Connecticut. Husbands and children are the antithesis to all things order and structure.
Birch Box, Birch Box…focus, right!
Really there’s not much I feel I need to give you a heads up regarding Birch Box’s ordering process. It was simple and straight forward. As Martha once so eloquently coined before she morphed into her bad ass, time served, snoop’s my dawg alter ego…it’s a good thing!
When I sign up for something I want it to be, simple, self-explanatory, and quick. I had no issues at all. If I had a big red easy button to push. I’d totally be hitting it.
The only detail I feel is worth noting, is one insignificant detail. And I really mean insignificant, it would not have been a deal breaker at this point. There was one aspect that confused (confused may be too harsh).
One aspect that was unclear to me. When you join, Birch Box gives customers an additional free box when you place your first order. Your provided with a code to enter at checkout.
I’m confident I get a free box with my first purchase. I saw it in my cart at check out. Thus, although I feel assured that there’s an additional box out there with my name on it, it just wasn’t totally clear if:
- Is it another additional box that will come with my first box?
or
- Is this a March Box that I won’t get charged for?
Let’s just stick a pin in this one, call it suspenseful, and imagine the possibilities that await!!!! Stay tuned, can’t wait to find out and share with you.
Erin, what a fun, creative, and helpful idea this page is. Your commentary is delightful. I’m excited to see all the subscriptions to you will unveil and reivew. I ordered my first Fit Fun and Fab Box last week, and I’m anxiously waiting (stalking the mailman). Thanks for creating this Fabulous site.
Thanks CA! I’m excited too. I can’t wait to discover all the fun stuff and share the information. I hope you will share as well when you get your Fab Fit Fun Box. It’s a collaborative process so I’m relying on honest reviews from all of you in order to maintain the integrity of the content.
