Yet another vote for having a fee paid by the customer for mandatory insurance.  Hell, I've paid up to $25 extra for FedEx or UPS shipping, and didn't even really mind doing it, because it meant I got my stuff within two days of ordering it.

SO DITTO!!! Whenever I possibly can, I try and get 2nd Day UPS. Call me anal and impatient, but I love to track my stuff with a company that actually inputs data! OMG, the post office never updates anything. How do they stay in business???

I insure all the packages that I can out of my pocket, as when I offered insurance in the past, no one wanted to pay for it, so I ended up having to repack and reship at my cost anyway.

That's not at all fair to you, though. I'd be more than happy to pay for insurance. It's only...what, about $1.30 for $50 coverage I think. You shouldn't have to absorb the cost of a postal screw-up. Whenever I sell on eBay, I offer insurance and if the buyer doesn't take it, then I don't replace it if it gets lost or damaged. Buyers have to take some responsibility too. That's just my opinion though.

I agree something needs to be done about the shipping situation.

YIKES and OWWW!!

Hope everything goes well for you and you're back to feeling 100% again soon.

Hey, you know... we should make a 'Jaded' scent.

 

I mean, Ted looooooooooves Aerosmith. >

Maybe Steven Tyler would donate his sweat.

Oh....ewwww.

LOL, "Jaded." Ooooh, is that a scent?? I would wear it every day.

I wish I lived there or you lived here. I am so TOTALLY sick of being a Dupont lab rat, I would literally RUN to come and work for you!!

I did some color work on the side for a tattoo artist here in the Buffalo NY area, formulated all of his new line of inks and then he SKIPPED TOWN ON ME!!! By the gods, would I love to work for a nice, honest person doing something I love. And as for Dupont, it's gotten so damn big that we mean almost nothing to anyone here. My job is in R&D coming up with new colors and aesthetics for Corian (you know, the solid surface countertops) and last year I got my first patent. I had to pay for the plaque myself!!!! They wouldn't even buy me the stupid wooden plaque to display my patent!!

Gees, sorry to rant. I'm a little...jaded.

Astrological Info: Capricorn with Pisces ascendent (darklorelei, send me your birth info. I do astrological charts; I'd be happy to check it out for you!)

How you found out about BPAL: My friend Trish sent me the link. She said she thought of me immediately because I'm a chemist, LOL.

Any comments you'd like to add about the Lab or life in general: BPAL has brought me back into the world of scents. I never used to wear perfume (I hate anything alcohol based), just different oils from Azure Green. Now...the sky's the limit!!

I would TOTALLY do this!!! I'm due for a vacation anyway and would love to go back to L.A. Plus, I'm an actual, card carrying chemist (I work for Dupont). Ooooh, can I work the distillation aparatus??

I'll be the one pacing back and forth in front of the shop with the sign that says "Will work for BPAL perfume."

ROTFL!!!

So... when can I get myself an assembly line?

ROTFL!!! I'm surprised you're not hiring people off the street! "Can you tie tags? Can you work a pipet? Hey you!! Can you screw on caps?!"

I love Morella, but it doesn't seem to last that long on me. The first sniff from the bottle seemed strong but if definitely mellows out once I put it on.

*note to self* slather this one on!!!

LOL, too late. I have no control. Well, now at least you all know that.

I just put in another order, too! 

OMG, so ditto!!

*hangs head in shame* Put a big order in yesterday.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I was thinking, when I received the round bottles, "Wow, am I glad the cork didn't come out!!" What a disaster that would have been. Screw top is definitely safer, I think.

I'm curious about something. I purchased 5mL of Spellbound and Embalming Fluid from Eye Spy (one of the merchants listed) and they came in round bottles with tiny corks. The 5mL oils I got from BPAL came in blue screw top bottles. They seem to hold the same amount so I was wondering if BPAL used to use these little round bottles at one time.

Also, what kind of bottle does the 10mL come in?

Sorry for the silly question, but I'm a bottle nut. Those little round bottles are adorable!!

Thanks...

Lisa

YAYYY!!

I just got one of my orders, along with a TON of imps ears! Thanks so much, Elizabeth!!! I'm sure my other order is just on this one's tail, probably to arrive Monday or Tuesday.

THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL THE SAMPLES!!

Elizabeth, I was wondering if are you able to take new orders yet. I know you're swamped so I thought I'd ask before I put in another order. You must be exhausted!
