Potion Master Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 FREE TRIAL VIALS for ACTIVE FORUM MEMBERS Active Forum Members (those who post TWO PRODUCT REVIEWS within 2 weeks of making an order) are entitled to choose TWO FREE TRIAL VIALS along with any order of $25.00 or more! You may take advantage of this on-going special ONCE PER MONTH. THAT'S TEN DOLLARS WORTH OF FREE MERCHANDISE! You MUST include your forum name to be eligible. Freebies MUST be accompanied by a $25.00 PAID order. The 6 ml Trial Vial SPRAYS are NOT eligible as Freebies, nor are UNscented pheromone blends, or PEs. (If you list one of those we will just replace it with something of OUR choice!) These programs are valid ONE PER HOUSEHOLD or IP ADDRESS. .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:. CREDITS EARNED for FORUM MEMBER RANKINGS Once you hit 200 posts, you earn a $5.00 credit! For every 100 posts after that your rank name will change and you will again earn another $5.00 credit! You MUST supply your forum ID and the levels you are redeeming. (Example - write it like this: Potion Master - 300, 400, 500). We keep a running tally so we know who has redeemed what - if you've lost track, just ask us and we'll let you know. You are allowed to let these accrue and redeem them all at once. BUT... Redemption of credits MUST be accompanied by a PAID order with a $25.00 minimum. Credits may NOT be redeemed for postage costs - they are for merchandise only. NOT ALL POSTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR POST COUNT INCREMENTATION. Posters are rewarded for adding quality content to this site, so that people want to come back and have something new to read every time that they do. Posters are rewarded for reviews and general conversation that adds to the flavor of the community. There is no post count increase for posting in the trade/swap area, the games area, or threads which generally involve little more than one word or an icon being posted. The point of this program is that users are rewarded for adding quality content to the site. If we feel that an individual is taking advantage of our generosity and continually posting in quantity without any real content, without really contributing to any of the conversations simply in order to earn credits to cash in, then we will reel back their number of qualified posts or disqualify the person from the program entirely if they are a repeat offender. .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:. ADDITIONAL FREE GIFTS & FREE SHIPPING RULES: We make sure that every person receives a special free surprise every month, whether it's something they have chosen themselves via the above programs or something extra that we pop in for fun. However, once again, we are limiting this program to ONCE PER MONTH. In order to continue our generous programs of FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING and FREE GIFTS, we must limit these perks to ONCE PER MONTH. Multiple orders per month (or per week) will now be billed for all additional shipping costs and additional PayPal fees incurred. If you plan your orders carefully, you will continue to be rewarded with lots of Freebies, Free Shipping and other fun surprise extras. Thank you for your understanding, and for being a part of our wonderful community. .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:. WE LOVE REVIEWS! We really appreciate it when people take a few moments to review the perfumes they've received, especially if they are freebies - it's like a nice swap, reviews in exchange for free samps, plus it adds to your post count to earn more free stuff. And please don't think you can only review something if you LIKE it. Truly, we are just as happy with a critical critique, because it helps us make better stuff in the future, and helps our customers make educated choices about what they might like to buy.

LadyVictoria Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) You are so generous Mara! I thought the freebies and free gifts were so awesome, I had no idea you rewarded people for posting! I was just happy to have a place to write about smelling pretty. I saw this thread and had no idea what it meant. I will wait patiently to submit my next order and Zumba it out so I don't start obsessing about it. I will fight the force and not let my fingers add items to the cart prematurely. Thanks LPMP team for being so wonderful! Edited June 13, 2011 by LadyVictoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raq On Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Potion Master, I am glad you qualified it with quality content. My favorite threads are the fragrance/phero review threads. They are most helpful. Thanks for offering the free sample vials once a month. That's how I discovered Sparkle Fuschia (my #1 fave) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You AG, if you've never redeemed before, you have $35 in credits saved up. Remember, this needs to be accompanied by a $25 cash order. You would redeem in the following way: AncientGoddess - 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 Enter 7 in quantity box I ask that it be done this way, because pretty much every time someone writes 200-800, they end up counting them wrong.

And even though the other indies will slip in extras, YOU slip in ***!!!EXTRAS!!!*** And you know what else? You're freakin' PSYCHIC about your extras! Every time I've been like, "Hmmmm...I'm going to have to order a sample of that one of these days..." you send me a giftie of it in my next order!!! The quality of your products is superb. Your customer service is superb. Your website is full of good information, and it's fun and easy to use. The effects of the *intent* in the scents is excellent. The pheros are great. The community here is lovely. Hell, I just can't say enough good things about you and yours and your company!!!

Calii Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 In order to continue our generous programs of FREE SHIPPING and FREE GIFTS, we must limit these perks to ONCE PER MONTH. Multiple orders per month (or per week) will now be billed for all additional shipping costs and additional PayPal fees incurred, or be refunded so that multiple orders can be consolidated into one lump sum. For the people who order twice per month,cause that is when they get paid ...might I suggest something like a $100 minimum order to qualify for free shipping ?

Potion Master Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 For the people who order twice per month,cause that is when they get paid ...might I suggest something like a $100 minimum order to qualify for free shipping ? I'm really aiming the admonition toward those who buy three $25 items in a week - with us having to pay for shipping and packaging three times instead of one, plus higher paypal charges for each. There are also a few who place another small order the moment they get the ship notice for the last one, because they think they'll get more freebies that way. These kind of practices are killing us in unnecessary charges. And the frustrating part of it is, those of you who are considerate and don't do these kinds of things get nervous and upset on our behalf, while those that are the worst offenders never think the rule applies to them. Truly, if someone is placing two $100 orders in a month, I have absolutely NO complaints. It's the small but multiple per week, or even multiple per day, orders that are seriously endangering our free shipping and sampler programs. And I KNOW that if people were charged a shipping charge every time they made an order, they wouldn't dream of ordering in this fashion, but because the fees are "hidden" to the customer, the fact that they still cost us a considerable sum is just not taken into consideration.

Elliebellikins Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 who buy three $25 items in a week - with us having to pay for shipping and packaging three times instead of one, plus higher paypal charges for each.

These kind of practices are killing us in unnecessary charges. I can't believe people would be so cheeky as to take advantage of your kind generosity on this level! You'd think that people would appreciate you footing the bill for their postage, and make well planned orders and just generally be grateful. I think it is only right that there should be a minimum spend and that people be charged if they place multiple orders in a month. I always happily pay my postage, seeing as I'm across the pond, as the quality of the goods and the sheer joy they bring me are worth every penny. And I just love you guys.

skye Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I try to limit my orders to once per month and I'm getting my things First Class International so I don't mind the wait.

Potion Master Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 I try to limit my orders to once per month and I'm getting my things First Class International so I don't mind the wait. I'd totally pay the 11.95 for a Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box though if it were an option. There is no $11.95 rate. The prices went up TWICE already this year here! I looked up the small box rate and it is currently $13.95 to Canada. We might be able to fit a limited amt of roll on bottles into this size of box, but sprays would have to go into a medium flat rate box, which is $45.50. Also, the small box is only 1.5 inches wide. I would worry about sample vials getting crushed, but the roll-on bottles would probably be hearty enough to handle it. Def not the spray bottles, no room for protection packing. I've never had a problem with people requesting and paying for expedited services of their choice. We do it all the time, it's always an option, you just have to ask. We can't do internationals through the stamps.com program anyway, so that means we're standing in line at the post office at least 3 days a week...so it really makes no difference to us as long as the extra services are paid for by the customer.

skye Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Oh sorry Mara. I guess the USPS website is out of date. No biggie. First class international usually only takes 10 days max to get to me and that's just fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 First class international usually only takes 10 days max to get to me and that's just fine with me.

skye Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Customs. Once things leave there it's 3 days to me maximum but Customs can hold things for 10 minutes or 10 days. It's all random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potion Master Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Customs. Once things leave there it's 3 days to me maximum but Customs can hold things for 10 minutes or 10 days. It's all random. We had a 2 MONTH hold in Canada once...and the box wasn't opened or anything, they just held it! I have always been very impressed with how Canada handles customs, with how thorough they are. Not that I've enjoyed being on the receiving end of going in and out of the country (having two-toned hair made me a target back in my rocker chick days, and now they quote back to me every single time I've passed across the border and want to know why I sometimes come in on a work visa, and sometimes not), but it's so "professional" compared to the US or Mexico. And the people are generally so much nicer, even when they are being "mean" to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
