Southern Essence is closed ****UNTIL SEPT 21st****

[Buff Hooligans]

Dear Southern 28 Chick:
Your BYC friends jump to alarming conclusions very easily, just like our pea-brained chickens. We have a tendancy to dart around our offices and homes blurting alarm wildly and loudly, even after the source of alarm is long gone. This disrupts our ordered and peaceful lives.

You must choose your title words VERY carefully in the future. Please consider the word "temporarily" to be part of all future postings concerning your soap and/or company.

Thank you,
A Concerned Friend

Trisha,

Here is something that may save you some money.

Don't use PayPal to print out your shipping labels. Their prices are very inflated.

Buy yourself a digital scale, a Dymo label printer (I have the Duo) and use Endicia.com to print off your postage. The Delivery Confirmation is free when you print your own postage. Or you can just use USPS.com directly and print your postage directly from the USPS website. Still cheaper than PayPal for shipping.

Take care,

Tami

The Almond is for nothing other than scent. I'll check into cherry/almond.

My site is set up to use paypal as my credit card processer. I do get charged a fee for processing the card but I don't get charged for printing my shipping labels. It comes with my paypal business account. It's just like using usps.com. I have a digital scale. I weigh the package use usps.com or paypal to pay for the postage and delivery conf. is free. Paypal is easier to use that usps.com because the shipping address is already there in the system.

I don't spend anything extra but thanks anyway.

Ok, just checking. The last time I was going to print a shipping label through them it was about $9.00 for what would have been $4.60 through USPS.

Take care,

Tami

The way Paypal does it is through USPS. It's the same price weither I use paypal or usps.com. I ship USPS Priority so paypal has to charge me usps rates with no additional fee.

I think closing your site will hurt you much more than the price increase of your product. You would be better off on the soap page simply putting "We are not taking new orders till Sept 21st, due to increased demand and lack of supplies. We thank you for your business, please feel free to leave comments or mail me any questions."

Something like that would suffice I would think. Alot of people here are telling friends and family about you. At least if your site was open they could look at your products. If its closed they might never come back to it again....

PS You need to make a soap on a rope, so Bubba can give it to people he really loves....hahahaa
