Operation Arcana

[-miggins-.livejournal.com]

For those of you who missed my earlier posts (where were ya?!), I am organising the UK group order for Arcana Soaps. I'm pretty certain we'll hit $75, which is the free shipping point. Julia has also said that she'll be putting together some exciting extras for the order - woohoo! 

ETA: We have totally smashed the free shipping point - current total is $209.50!

Please leave a comment to this post indicating what you would like to order with the total, and whether you will be paying by credit/debit card funded PayPal (ie, with evil EVIL fees) or from balance/bank account PayPal. I will then reply with the amount I need and the address you need to send the payment to. When you send your PayPal amount, please clearly state your LJ name, along with your real name and address. I don't expect you to pay immediately - as long as I have your payment by midnight on Thursday 27 April, I'm happy.

Once I have the order, I will parcel up your booty and let you know how much onwards postage will be, but more on that later.

If you need to pay by cheque, leave your comment and I'll get back to you. I'd be grateful if cheque orders could be kept to around the $10 mark, at the risk of sounding like a moody cow.

The actual order itself will be placed on the morning of Friday 28 April (the only time I can guarantee uninterrupted computer use!) so feel free to place or amend your order up until midnight on Thursday 27 April.

Any questions, shout.

Hey you! Yep, cheque is fine, but I'll leave it until the order comes in so I can add in the ongoing postage, if that's OK.

And can you give me an alternative for Winternights, just in case they've run out?

Thank you!

Thanks so much hun, just email me what I owe you when you want it.

My alternative for Winternights is Burlesque.

That was so hard to choose, I just spent ages looking at the site and deciding lol, they all sound so nice.

So true! I must have changed my mind about 20 times deciding what to get. I probably could have got to $75 on my own and had free shipping all to myself. =)

I've still got your e-mail address, so I'll let you know once it's here. I'm thinking it'll be a couple weeks from now.

Hehe, I could have ordered everything if I had enough money, it all sounds so nice. I have a couple of imps from Galen that I love, so I know how fab their stuff is. I could have probably got free shipping twice over lol, I want everything!

Just email me when you want paying babes and I'll get a cheque to you from my OH, my paypl account has gone nuts, so I've just given up for a bit.

Out of curiosity, how big are the soap samples?

I've sat here trying to think of something of a comparable size, and the only thing I can think of is a standard business card. Some were thicker and squatter, and some were thinner and longer. I would say that each one EASILY lasted me 6 baths/showers and I tend to wash twice if it's something I really like (I'm sad like that!). I also tend to do the "wash twice" thing because the lather is so moisturising.

Just had a lightbulb moment! Easily at least as big as a Lush bath melt (just compared my sample of Murder Ballad Blues to a You've Been Mangoed and MBB is a bit bigger) and roughly half as thick. Hope that helps! =)

Fantastic, thanks, that is really helpful. I'd want them regardless of size anyway, they sound so nice. That's quite a decent sized sample isn't it.

Now I'm really excited to try them.

Hehe, you wash twice, when I have a bath I wash so many times, I usually use a shower gel, then a scrub and then a soap lol. Sometimes I use a body bar (aqua miribilis)aswell lol. Hmm maybe a touch of ocd there.
