Thank God we DIDN'T run a sale.

[Kent Brooks]

I know, strange title. Just a quick update. Yesterday was the hardest day I have ever had at work.

Came back from the weekend and there were many more broken bottles than I was confortable with - like - half a dozen or more. Granted, in the grand scheme of things that's not many - but - it's too many for me. Stressful. BUT - until we have resolved how we are going to pack these bad boys and ensure they get there safely, we have replaced every single bottle. So, we spent a good portion of the morning making those orders right.

About the time I thought we had that resolved and could move forward - the SMTP portion of all our nicoticket.com emails went down. Translation - we can receive email, but we can't send it. Good time to run a huge sale? Not exactly... LOL So, if I am absent from the forums, that's why... I have to figure it out pronto so we can continue to communicate. In the interim, if you want a reply, I recommend the in system messages.

Anyone have a rusty spoon, my eyes are itchy.

The best part of running your own business... picking your own hours.

Pick any 23 out of 24 hours.

Yes, but I agree with the 23/24 thing. That's the schedule hubby keeps. As he gets older, it wears on him more and more. Delegate, delegate, delegate when you can.

Are you working on this yourself, or do you have someone looking into this?

 

[MattyRetro]

Sorry for your troubles as well!! Transitioning to a new system cannot be an easy task at all. The new website is beautiful and the bugs always seem to get resolved so just hold on tight. It's all changes for the good.

 

[Mikeo]

Wait! What! You took a weekend off....

 

[cuse4ever]

[TheProphet]

Halo and AIV, both shipping bottles, pack them in sturdy little corregated (sp?) boxes, with crumpled paper. When I was in business I shipped (CDs, sometimes in fragile plastic cases) in very sturdy boxes that I ordered online from Uline.

On the other hand, my 2 beautiful glass bottles of Virus (which, as you know, I don't like) arrived intact in their padded purple plastic package.

 

[sugarbritches]

Well, sale or no sale, I had to buy something today. and I do mean had to!! I got the Virus and ACB - can't wait to try them out. I also got the NT Banner, need to check if it worked. So, here goes..............

EDITED TO ADD: It worked!!!

 

[ElConquistador]

I was thinking you were cringing every time you learned of a broken bottle!

 

[zero7starz]

The plume room and Alice in vapeland ship in cardboard cubes with packing peanuts. Never received a broken bottle. They're shipping is expensive though. (Compared to NT shipping price. There is more expensive out there.)
