A Very Busy Holiday Season FINALLY OVER!!! But not without difficulty
When one runs a Wiccan webshop, one often gets quite interesting emails, ranging from those who wish to "save" your soul, to those who want you to give them names and addresses for all your suppliers so they can go around you, to those who want you to be their guru, those who want free love spells, and finally, to those who have difficulty with calendars.
So here we are, after a VERY busy holiday season, where this year we had essentially FOUR holiday days. Solstice was 12/21, Yule was 12/22, Christmas was 12/25, and 12/26 was another holiday day. Most customers were very careful to order gifts they expected for any of these holidays well in advance, and those who needed things at the last minute contacted me to ask for overnight shipping, which I did my best to provide.
Imagine my surprise when I got an email blasting me to the heavens and threatening to give me bad reviews across the Internet because an item marked "usually ships in 5 to 7 business days" and ordered 12/21, wouldn't be shipped until next week. The shop that makes the piece closed for the week of the 25th so I won't get it until next week. *sigh*
After shipping a TRUCKLOAD of stuff this month, hopefully this is the only difficulty we will encounter. Hopefully our happy fun post office will have delivered everything on time and in the same number of pieces as left the shop :-).
Year end blessings to all, and to all a good night. Especially my mom whose birthday is today. Happy birfday MAAAAAAA.
