Can KBV pretty pretty pretty please offer Stocking Stuffer Sample Packs this year?

I'm thinking (yeah, it hurts) that you offer 5ml 5pack of 6mg 40/60 sets of your top 5 flavors, or just flavors you want to push.

Please don't say you are too busy or it is not cost-effective. I need this. Specially since I've only gotten 1 baita in my last 5 orders. I need lil Jooses that will eventually grow up to be 30oz Jooses in my life.
 
Sorry to those I owe emails and PMs, I had a dentists appointment today that didn't turn out so well :( I am up for the time but will probably lay back down shortly. I will either reply later this evening or tomorrow. BTW, nothing serious, just had to have another procedure and they suggest minimal exertion for 24 hours.

I worked all weekend getting orders ready so that won't be effected, in fact, orders will be done by noon tomorrow! :)
 
We'll be open this evening and we're going to push the amount of orders we take. We are going to have to take some time to work with merchant accounts, accounting, and Holidays towards the end of the year. The possibility exists we may close 2 weeks this month to get everything in order to start next year.

We want to give some notice and as always we will do what we can to accommodate those in need.
 
I worked all weekend with accounting and preparing orders since I knew yesterday was going to be lost to the dentist, it's kinda been a project that I set aside the money I've saved from smoking (not KBV money) to take care of my dental needs. Thanks though, it wasn't bad I'm used to working and have no life :p I did almost go play blackjack Sat night but it got late. Thanks, hope yours was good as well.


Inventory on the store will be lacking a few items will be out or low. We are suffering bad from delayed shipments, priority incoming is taking up to a week. I wish more of our vendors offered UPS and I'm looking into UPS through a new program but IDK if it'll make sense or not yet. We currently use Shipworks and I'm looking at True Ship. We expect inventory on everything to be good during the Friday opening. I know, I know plan further in advance! The problem is it's never a main ingredient but a small one that I take for granted we have and then go to inventory the store and say :censored: I just ordered for the month!!!! :facepalm:

I have never had any luck with UPS on smaller shipments. They are great in price compared to USPS on heavier shipments or big boxes. I hope you can score a good deal with them.

I don't ship that much with what I do on my site so I don't get any discounts. I think FedEx might be alright on smaller stuff but never really checked.
 
I think you're probably right but this program would allow multiple shippers including USPS so we may try it. I've been starting to use the priority regional rate boxes which depending on where you ship are a deal! They are roughly the same size as a flat rate medium box and I sent 2 large orders to TX priority Sat that were $5.78 that would have cost $10 flat rate.

Shipwors lists it as an option but doesn't support it :mad: that's the case with the $4.95 flat rate priority envelopes too which is part of the reason I am looking at other shipping programs. I can manually ship them that way but then I have to input the shipping info into the store which is a PITA.


Looking like OMG (yeah the joose), V-spot, and Crumb Doughnut will be out of stock tonight. Some others are limited but not too bad. I'll open as soon as I finish stock levels as I need to get horizontal again due to this tooth :(

I hate UPS.

USPS can be disorganized and late but UPS is a royal pain for me. My small packages via USPS fit in my mailbox. My building has several larger ones to accommodate medium-sized packages and, for large ones they ring my bell and bring it upstairs. My UPS guy just dumps everything in the building manager's office without checking if you are home and doesn't even leave you a post-it to tell you it arrived. (If you weren't expecting something, it can be weeks before you know to check.)
 
Not to mention the scam that is "priority"! I've tracked 1000s of packages and most of the time it's SLOWER than 1st class. Now they are talking more cuts so UPS may be an option in the future but I have never researched the pros and cons of small packages.

Store is closed until Friday, we can squeeze a few more "offline"orders in if needed. I always leave room for a few because I know several people still prefer to pay using "that other way" ;-)
