NEW SHIPPING DISCOUNT! ONLY $1.99 PER ORDER!!!
March 5, 2006
Hey Everyone! For about the last year, we have been taking a pretty big loss on shipping due to the UPS "fuel surcharge" that is added onto every order we ship. There is simply no way around this charge with the current gasoline and diesel fuel prices. We hate this, but it is a fact we now need to deal with. Let me give you a bit of an example. For each box delivered to a residential area, not in a big city, there is approximately $3.50 surcharge. If you live in a big city, the surcharge is still about $1.75. Some of you will notice, we have had to have a slight price increase on our products. That is also the Incoming Fuel Surcharge we have been paying on everything from wicks to jars to wax and fragrance oils. But we think we came up with a plan that will make it fair to everyone! Since we raised prices a bit, shipping is only $1.99 per order, any quantity. That's right, order 50 candles, pay only $1.99 in shipping. Not EACH, Only $1.99 total! You are asking yourselves "how is lowering shipping, saving them money?" Simple, by eliminating that huge shipping estimator from UPS, customers are likely to buy more items at a time. Well, if they buy 5 candles, our shipping costs don't increase 5 times. You save money, we make a little money. UPS doesn't get too much from both of us. We haven't had any sort of price increase, not one penny, for 3 years. We certainly hope this doesn't discourage any of our wonderful customers from coming to see us, but it also doesn't make sense for us to lose money on each and every candle sale. Can't stay in business very long that way and we plan on being here for decades and decades. If, for some wonderful reason, UPS drops the fuel surcharge for us, we will absolutely drop it back off for you. Heck, maybe we can even eliminate shipping costs altogether! Keep hoping. We always want to treat our customers like family, and being upfront and honest is the way we want to treat each and everyone of you. On a different note: Check out the body butters, they are simply wonderful. As a bit of a sneak preview: We are going to have the non-aerosol room and linen spray available soon. Maybe by the end of March! Another new product (Yep, they keep on comin), Tart Burner Smelly Melts. Ok, the name is funny, but you are going to remember it, aren't you!? A lot of our customer have asked us to make votives and tarts. Soy wax is so soft that it isn't really feasible to package each individual tart, and votives aren't a real good idea for soy. So, our solution: Make tarts in different sizes, sell them by the 1/4 lb bag. That way, they don't each have to be packaged, and you can mix and match your own custom scents. Watch for these on the website. We have about 15 ready so far, and will be selling them very, very shortly! Thanks for understanding, and we hope to see you all soon! Christine & Thomas
