Paging: [livejournal.com profile] rachel2205. I've tried to get in touch with you 3 times over the past few days, but I'm assuming there's something funny going on with your email, as I haven't had a reply. Could you please check out the message I left for you on the main Villainess group order post. I need to let Brooke know whether to send another lot of kabooms or a refund.

Apart from Rachel, everyone else's parcels have been sent out! I'm afraid my Personal PayPal account has been maxed out by all the recent group order activity (I didn't think I'd received £250 to that account, but PayPal tell me different :/ ) so could you please send payments (which include fees) to my Premier account (address under the cut). If anyone's really against paying the PayPal fees let me know and I'll see if I can "borrow" my Mums account ;)

Postage totals within )

Thanks to everyone who took part, and enjoy your Villainess! :)

Guys, I'm really sorry, but I have to close the Inquisition order early. Unfortunately because of the size of the order, Paypal has asked me to re-verify my account as it looks like I'm money laundering!!!!

I really don't want the people who have ordered and paid to lose out on their goodies, and as my limit is $1700 before Paypal lock my account, I feel I have to close it.

The people that have ordered but not yet paid, I will still be able to take your payment and place the order, so please don't worry about that.

I will have my account verified in next 2-3 weeks, so this shouldn't happen again, and I understand why Paypal do this (it would be so easy to money launder through it!).

So once again, sorry but the order is closed! I hope you all understand.

Thanks to all!

Just got a mail from paypal...

Read more... )

Sooo, if you designate a transfer as a Personal payment, then if it's from a bank account/funds they won't charge you at all (whatever status the account you're sending to is) - and if you're paying via card, it'll give you the option of covering the fees to start with.

That's going to be really handy for this community - no more trying to fudge numbers to make sure an extra bit is included to cover fees, because you'll be able to either avoid them being charged at all, or get paypal to do the calculation from your end to start with!

Few things to say about these orders, as you should all know... the soap box order is here!
I got a message from puddin and our BPTP order is on its way to us as we speak.

My plan is to take everyone who also ordered from BPTP soap box order and put it to one side until BPTP has also arrived, that means that only
La Dam De Lac, Silver Cobwebs, Shelby2394, Etienne, Duranorak, Emoonstone, Denorios, Flutter of wings and Emma2403 Will receive their parcels shortly.

If you are waiting for BPTP but are too impatient for your soap box, let me know and I will send that shortly as well.

Out of both of these orders, I am planning on posting anything with a value of over $75 recorded delivery which means there will be extra postage to pay for; bagfish and Windzswept. If anyone else also wants theirs sent recorded, please let me know.

It is going to take me a couple of days to get the orders all organized and packed. Unfortunately there were no freebies with the soap box order, but I do have a huge, huge pile of LUSH things which is going to take me several decades to use so if there are no objections, I shall include something for you!

Do to the size of the orders and the products I am going to have to be a little inventive with packaging, so I will be reusing packaging to minimize anything I may have to buy.

If any one has any questions, please get in touch. I shall advise you all as and when Items are being sent and advise postage costs.

Thank you all for your support with this order!

Hi everyone!

I've just had an email from the lovely Puddin regarding the BPTP Sugar Moon order (I was having a wee fret!)

Juliette,

Do not worry, it is not lost.

I am in the middle of yelling at my printer who put another job in front of mine.

It was some dumb St. Patrick’s day tee…. Grrrrrrrr..

I have your order and he promised me I would have them today or tomorrow.

I know it is not much good because the full moon is Friday but I will get it out soon.

I just looked at your order and the Carnal soap was discontinued.

I can throw in a special new soap or change it to something else or refund you.

I hope that I can get the Castitas bath oil to you in the box but Beth is having trouble getting the oil and if she does not have the oil neither do I.

I am sorry for any problems this will cause…

Puddin’


Right so [livejournal.com profile] ellroy what do you fancy? New exciting special soap or something else or a refund?

And [livejournal.com profile] windzswept and [livejournal.com profile] bagfish - I'm starting candle lighting and appealing to deities etc for your oils! I've asked Puddin what our options are here and am waiting for hime to get back to me.

Sorry about this, I was hoping that everything would run smooth!

If there are any questions, ask me!

Hello all,

I have been having problems with my internet at home and my work has decided that Live Journal should be blocked so I can't access it from work! But I am back up and running at home now so this order is still awaiting more participants!

Remeber - Arcana has $1 off each bottle and there are limited editions, plus villainess exclusives and loads of other goodies!

If you have already marked down what you would like, hang in there and I will send out totals incl fees for everyone once the order is closed and I have postage costs quote to split, or we reach $300 which is free shipping!

I feel a bit cheeky suggesting this without actually volunteering to run a group buy, but I've never done such a thing before and I'd probably prefer to start with something that would involve less working out about postage etc.

Anyhoo, over at [livejournal.com profile] evil_enablers I read about Fantasy Bath, which sounds great for a bath fiend like me, and apparently their TAT is only 1-5 days. However, to post to the UK is $37 for a flat rate box, or $29 if you spend over $50. According to their FAQ:

"A flat rate box can hold:

16 bath bombs
4 bags of powder
12 bath bombs and one bag of powder
6 bath bombs and two bags of powder
4 bath bombs and three bags of powder

We can usually get a body butter bar or mineral bath in the box in addition to the above. Unfortunately, candles are very large and we can only ship 2 of them in a flat rate box, but can get a bath bomb in there with them. "

So, it probably wouldn't be a very huge group order, but it'd be feasible, shipping-costs-wise, if four or five people were interested. Of course, then you'd have to factor in shipping within the UK, and I have no idea how much £ that would add onto things! (I have a good idea for things like BPAL, which is why I'd rather handle a circle like that before something like this...)

Anyway, just a suggestion in case anyone gets bored (so likely in the hectic run up to Christmas...!) and feels like running something like this!

ETA: I should have guessed that colere would have run a Fantasy Bath order here before! Though that was back in the summer according to the tags, so I guess the repeat of info here might still be useful! ALSO I accidentally tagged this wrong but the entry won't let me edit the tags...?! Crazy. CLEARLY I shouldn't be entrusted with a group order if I can't even keep my tags in line!!

ETA Twoooooo: It occurs to me, why do I never see anyone buying from BRITISH e-tailers? Surely there are SOME? Surely this is not a dry wilderness, free of scent and wonder? Is it the strength of the pound that makes our homeland's products less enticing (i.e. pricier)? I only hear people talk about Lush, but they're a big company now... Anyhoo, I could have posted this over on [livejournal.com profile] evil_enablers, but I figure there are quite a few Brit-slash-European types here. Get all patriotic on my ass and tell me if I'm missing some obvious places!

Just to let you know Julia sent out our parcel last week so it should be landing imminently, Parcelforce willing. I intend to send everything first class (with certificate of posting) but if you want it sent recorded or similar, let me know (and I'll have to ask for a contribution towards costs).

In the worst case scenario, ie, that our parcel takes an extended holiday in the catacombs of the British postal system, and doesn't arrive until the 18th or 19th, I'm not going to send anything until after Christmas to lessen the likelihood of things getting lost. HOWEVER, if you've got any objections to this and want to take the risk, let me know.

Happy Sinterklaas!

*ETA we WILL be able to add bottles when they are announced! Yay!* For now, everything else you need is under the cut.

ORDER IS IN. THIS CIRCLE IS CLOSED! I will update and allow people to add bottles once the anniversary and limited edition scents are announced at the end of the month. Thanks to everyone for participating. Stragglers, please get your money in. I have floated your balance for the time being.

Right here )

Alright girls...get your monies in and I'll put in this order for processing! Totals and info under the cut.

Yes, this cut )

We now have two CnS's [1] [2]

I expect the first to arrive here either late this week or early next week and the second in the middle or the end of next week.

Now to put the cat upon the pigeons... I may end up having to go supervise a school trip this weekend (they are short on staff - the ones that normally go are supervising something else, and I volunteered iff they can't find anyone else at all (plus I loved the particular trip they are going on last time I did it)) - I get to find out on Thursday for a departure on Friday, so if things arrive whilst I am away (I won't be back till Monday) then I won't be able to sort them till I get back - or if the worst happens and they try deliver it and I'm not in on Friday or Saturday then I won't be able to pick them up until Tuesday (because our delivery office is useless).

I'll also note here that there are Royal Mail strikes on this weekend (bah, humbug!) so they may delay the packages even more.

When I get them, I will then have to go locate boxes in which to post your items to you (because I don't think that they will fit in the size 00 or size 0 jiffy bags that I have) so that will take a day (the joy of having to arrange stuff around school) and then I'll wrap and post the following day (assuming it doesn't clash with a meeting/parent's evening/other school event). Either way, I'll try to remain within a 3 day turnaround from me receiving the parcel (be that it being delivered or me picking it up at the delivery office).

Hope that is alright with everyone, and apologies for appearing to be spamming this community.

(Oh and Perilous Parlour is gorgeous - pear drops in a bottle, warm pear, sugar and vanilla on me ;o) - slight detour of thought and something I wanted to share with all of you)

I seem to be full of excuses about this order don't I.... So this post is brought to you by Puddin' & Beth quotes.

Problem is that I am out of Samhain and Sugar Skull. The lovely Macha is whipping up a new batch of them and I should have it soon.
- Puddin, 23/09/07


Our order has 3 Samhain Soaps and 1 Sugar Skull one in Order 1... so that could be a problem.

"Trick or Treat will begin to ship at the beginning of next week. Because of numerous factors, the BPTP Trick or Treat orders will not be shipping in chronological order based on when they were received. Ted is going to do the best he can to keep it as close to that order as possible, but he will likely have to jump around a little to ensure that the flow of outgoing orders moves smoothly. Please do not fret if, for example, you placed your order on the 29th, and someone who ordered on the 30th gets a C&S before you do. All ToT’s will go out as quickly as possible.
The corrected massage oil labels have arrived, and those orders will also start being packed this weekend."

- Beth, 22/09/07


So... there you go then (and once again I apologise for not putting the massage oils in with the t-shirts so that we all could have had our soaps and nail polishes earlier!).

Just thought I'd keep you informed... (because silence and not knowing can be absolute hell) :o)
[identity profile] windzswept.livejournal.com
I'm referring to this order that went in on the 29th August.

I've been staring uselessly at the BPTP C'n'S boards on the forum and also refreshing my e-mail, so I decided to do some research...

Order 1 is currently being held up by the massage oils because (and shamefully quoting Puddin' off the forum):
"Sadly, I have not shipped out any of the massage oils.
I have the bottles of it sitting in my room waiting for the "new" labels to come.
Yes I said come because we got them and they looked great until we noticed a typo on them.
It made us a little sad because we had to return them and have them redone.
I am expecting the labels to arrive on Monday so I am hoping to ship them early next week.
Lets say Wednesday to be safe."


Just thought you might want to know - it's hard when everyone is talking about having received their soaps and polishes.

T-shirts will take longer though, but we all expected that anyway.

Oh, [livejournal.com profile] nisaba no c'n's for the BPAL order with your Hunter Moon in it yet either.
[identity profile] -miggins-.livejournal.com

I think it's probably best that I make this one a bit shorter than normal - instead of leaving it open for a month, I will be closing it on SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER so can you make sure your order is in by then.

I was considering leaving the order open until Hallowe'en but I don't want us to miss out on any of the new lovelies. =)

A heads up for all of us that buy large orders from the US/Canada/outside the EU.  On one of my normal trips to the post office to pick up a parcel this afternoon I was stunned to see a poster that said

"As from the 2nd April, Royal Mail will be charging an £8 handling fee for all packages that incur a customs charge.  This is on top of the customs charge itself"

More details here


You have been warned :(
