ElizabethOSP Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 HEEEE!!! Y'alll are cracking me up! I'm reeeeeeaaaaallly considering jumping at some full bottles from the Februaries, and maybe from the Januaries too. I keep thinking, "Hmmmmm. Tax returns. Hmmmmm....."

And I really want to BANG! something... just not sure what yet... Hmm, since I have just recently returned to the joyous wonders that are LPMP, I don't really know how many bottles of NRs Mara usually produces and I don't know whether she immediately enters all into the cart or if she is a bit conservative in her entries (because of how many might be offered through Amazon and other retailers). Can anyone give me a bit of insight into what is a usual production run? In other words, if I were to check on the cart inventory *right now* (which I have done), would those numbers be relatively representative or would they be conservative numbers and some reloading of the cart may occur later? I admit, after having missed out already on a few in Nov., being a bit panicked about missing out on some of the new releases this time around.

Mrschrissyrez Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I think what's in the cart is everything...most of the time...but not always! I know, it's confusing but if the carts getting low, then it's best to order. Every now and again Mara will add more, but that doesn't happen that often. And I've noticed that if she does reload the cart, there's not a lot of stock left, and you could miss out if your not on the forum that day! I think I over explained ETA...Like Luna posted below, Mara is the only one who knows how many bottles of each blend are left. You can always email her, or post in the Questions for Mara thread. Hope this helps! Edited January 23, 2013 by Mrschrissyrez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuTrix Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 NuTrix that's the best laugh I have had in days. Thank you for that. I saw that too and died!!! Accidental funnies are the best!! *chuckles* Still a little embarrassed...only wish I could say it was on purpose...it's like that time I was telling my friend I'd be happy to do her nails...except my exact words were...in a room full of people...that, "I'd be happy to french her!" SO not how it sounded! I am freaking out about your order because I wish I had the nerve to go full bottle on the honey LP before sampling. I will probably go this route, but then again...I have all day to worry about it! I ran down MCR's list of bottles and when I saw she went for it I was like...DAMN HER!!! SHE'S GOING ALL IN!!!

My ADHD adult daughter can have an entire conversation before I can even get out a "Hi" when I see her.

Yeah, I get told to slow down sometimes...or I get a funny look with big eyes because they can't keep up, and don't know what to say. I'm better at it than I used to be though. What's really funny is that people talk so slow to me. It's like spit it out and make your point!! My hubby drives me crazy that way! Glad she takes her meds. They helped me so much in my twenties and early thirties. I can't tolerate them anymore, so I don't take anything for it now.

I admit, after having missed out already on a few in Nov., being a bit panicked about missing out on some of the new releases this time around. I usually start the cart with 24 bottles and 24 samples, sometimes 36 of each if I make an 'extra' amount. We have to be very conservative with these first numbers because most of the samples will be ordered in the sampler sets, and many bottles end up selling as sets and "write-ins" via other offerings (beta, add pheros, etc, as well as other vendors), and there's no way to count these, so we have to leave room for them. After a few weeks we will do a count and adjust the numbers, and when they get low we adjust the numbers again. A lot of times, we don't know that something has sold down to zero in the cart until we get an Out Of Stock notice thru the email, because someone tried to order it. When that happens, we count what's left and refill the cart accordingly. We adjust numbers throughout the cart on daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Mara!), but relief in knowing that I didn't let this one get away. . . My Beloved just requested a full bottle... and I did already place an order of several unsniffed bottles from Jan and Feb NRs (I just can't let the possiblity of missing out happen again so soon! The loss was just too recent!) ... so I do apologize for any additional fees however I am hoping that the timing of the orders is such that there shouldn't be any additional shipping... but, to really make it worth everyone's while in LP headquarters, I really do need to toss a couple of items from my wishlist into the cart while I'm placing My Beloved's order, don't I? So,... while I do apologize to Mara for the additional order I am about to make... I AM REALLY HAPPY TO BE MAKING AN ADDITIONAL ORDER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I certainly *tried* my best to make it worth their while After all, it was My Beloved who hemmed and hawed and deliberated and dragged his feet and then, 2 days after I had submitted my order (clearly indicating to him that I was doing so and that he needed to give me any requests *before* I hit send)... he decides that *HE NEEDS* something So, its only fair to Mara that I order *more than one* full bottle.. looks like I ordered 3 for myself How's that for rationalization?

Eggers Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Finally decided on my order: January and February samplers, a bottle of SLF, a bottle of Honeyed Love Potion, a virgin bottle of GOAL! to replace the bottle of Robert's Attacked in the Stacks that BF broke in Montreal, samples of LP Homme, Pure Sugar and LP Black, (how have I not tried this yet???), and forum freebies, Return to Me and Desire Me, (Spell Potions). BF is starting to ask me to order him his own full bottles! LOL! I never thought I'd see the day, but he's asked me to order him GOAL, Elementary, Watson and Jack. I'm hoping to talk him into LP Homme and Winter Wizardry, too, 'cause I like 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowflake Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I hope there will be still enough bottles / samples by the middle of next month, because I need to get some money before I place my next order.
