Store opening: our special order process
We talked yesterday about the selection that we'll have at opening on the 3rd. But let's say you just have to have that Rococo Bouquet Mini-hat in Rococo Pink, and bad luck, we only have it in black! Well, we'll be doing special orders on an ongoing basis to make it a little easier to get exactly what you want through us. Here's how it will work.
If you see a product you like on the web site of a brand we carry, or in KERA or another magazine, we can usually get it. We can currently accept special orders for the following brands:
Putumayo
Algonquins
Atelier-Pierrot
Innocent World
Victorian maiden
SEX POT ReVeNGe
Maxicimam
We will have a short order form for you to fill out and sign, and there will be a 30% deposit requirement. There will also be a wait involved - how long depends on when we placed our last order with that brand. Figure that we order from each brand about once every 6-8 weeks. So your wait could be anywhere from 10 days to 8 weeks - we can give you an estimate before you place your order so you can decide if you want to do it.
When we're close to placing an order with a brand or brands, we'll announce it and give everybody a chance to get last minute special orders in. In the store, we'll have a whiteboard that just lists our upcoming orders and expected shipments. Of course, we'll announce here as well.
You can also place your orders through the web site. We'll have a link and a form for it eventually, but for now you can just email us. We'll invoice you through PayPal.
Once your order arrives, you can pick it up in the store, or if you order through the web site, we'll ship it to you (for our standard shipping rates).
Hopefully it'll make you guys happy knowing you won't have to hope your taste matches ours when we select stock :)
