Long Holiday

It seemed like Christmas was never going to get here.

We had a longer than expected turn around time through the holiday this year. Our supplier for our bubbling ingredient was out of stock and had not notified us until 10 days later after the order was placed and numerous contacts with them. Unfortunately for us this caused a delay in getting orders out in time.

Although we did find another supplier, this delayed us because our products are made fresh and not sitting on shelves for months on end waiting to be sold. Even with 10 employees on hand and I myself working many sleepless nights.

Our limited edition Christmas themed bubblebath cupcakes will be available until the 31st. Once January 2009 rolls around (in just a couple days here) we'll have a few more new limited edition cupcakes to offer. You may have already noticed two have been added, such as our Happy New Year bubblebath cupcake (available until January 31st) and scented with champagne fragrance and our Be My Valentine bubblebath cupcake available until February 14th, scented with raspberry sorbet and cotton candy.

All holiday themed scents will no longer be available after January 1st. So get them while you can. Many new scents will be added. Remember, nearly 98% of Soap Silly's scents are Soap Silly™ exclusives!

We will be having a sale in honor of all our wonderful customers next month. If you haven't joined our newsletter, be sure to as we'll be sending out the sale notice through our newsletter. Watch your email!

We are no longer accepting Paypal as a form of payment. With the ailing economy and the increase in fees across the board in credit cards and such, we decided the one form of payment rarely used by our customers was the one we were no longer going to accept, and that of course was Paypal. This will help keep the costs of our products down for you.

You may have also noticed that beginning in January 2009, USPS will be increasing their fees for shipping. Our flat rate of $8.50 will remain the same. As for International orders, at this time it will remain at $38.95. We will still be utilizing FedEx as that is our first choice for shipping and most reliable for domestic orders.

Please note we will be closed from December 31st and will reopen on January 5th, 2009.

We wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous 2009.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from everyone at Soap Silly.
