Etsy reviews/Feedback

REVIEWS/FEEDBACK: Etsy has recently replaced its existing Feedback system with a ‘Review’ option based on a star rating. Buyers have a certain timeframe in which they are able to leave a review, and in conjunction with this function the Etsy system will send out “reminders” if a review has not been left. Debaucherous Bath considers reminders of this nature to be intrusive and would like to assure all buyers that any “review reminder” emails or messages that they may receive are from Etsy and DO NOT originate from Debaucherous Bath. We do not like to be pestered just as much as you don't. However, please accept our sincere thanks for any positive reviews that you may choose to submit; we are sorry that Etsy no longer affords sellers the opportunity to do so via the feedback system.

Tat, New Product

All orders will be shipped out by tomorrow. We are nearly caught up. This is great news as I do not like to add new products to the shop and website unless I am caught up. But I will finally start adding the new fall line up today.

I have some other wonderful news. In the past I've had quite a few inquiries for wax tarts. Typically I do not do this as the cost of my blends are not exactly cheap for one and two, I don't like to get overwhelmed with too much product and then have orders slow down. Sooooooo...with that in mind, for a VERY limited time, we will be offering soy wax tarts in a few select scents. Scents like Chocolade, Hedonistic and the higher priced fragrances will not be available in soy wax tarts. The scents that will be available will be from our holiday line and sold as combo packs. 

These will not be available until after September 1st.

Have a fabulous day!

Product Launch

A slight delay in launching the new fall line, I've had a killer migraine for a few days and turns out it's a sinus infection due to my allergies. It slowed me down unfortunately, I feel like the life was sucked out of me, but I am starting to feel better with some good meds. So you will see the new Fall line in the next couple days.

I apologize for the delay, I've been getting quite a few convos and emails asking when they were going to be added and I just feel so bad delaying it, but when you get a migraine it really takes you out. I typically get them due to a gluten and yeast intolerance but this one felt "different" than my usual ones. 

So I am off to work! Have a fabulous weekend!

Fall 2013 Debut Update & More

A quick update on a few things.

1. Fall debut, I have about half of the labels for the already-waiting products and am working on the photos right now so that I can upload the "ready" ones by tonight. My designer was recently ill, but they are coming in. But as soon as they are ready I will add the products as they come in. I have tons of product just waiting for labels so they can go to their new homes! Lip balms will be coming tonight as well.

2. Shipping, I had to make a few unfortunate changes to shipping. For one, effective immediately, the perfume petites on both etsy and the website, will no longer include free shipping. Due to rising costs it just isn't working out this way anymore. Also, even though I had lowered shipping on the etsy shop, I was still losing on shipping. So I increased the additional item charge slightly to help cover shipping costs. I will always try my best to provide you with the cheapest shipping rates whenever possible and as always, I will refund any additional over charges.

3. Past Fall/Halloween, these products are already up. 

4. Fall debut cold process soaps, these are still curing and won't be ready until another week or so. Once they are ready, I will add them to both sites. 

5. Summer collections, by the end of this month I will be phasing out the summer collections. So get them while you can. They will not be back.

6. TAT, we are currently at a 3-5 business day TAT. My kids went back to school and my youngest just started preschool, which absolutely breaks my heart. My hired help, has the same thing going on so we are now back to carting children back and forth to school at different times making us both crazy with the driving madness, but it is our lives and we love it! The days when my husband, the love of my life, comes home early, are blessed days for me as he enlists his help.

7. Sales, as of late and more frequently then ever, I have been receiving numerous convos and emails asking for coupon codes, discounts or free products for blog reviews. While I appreciate the interest, at this time, there are no sales and I am not offering any free product for blog reviews, but, if you would like to review a product, please feel free to purchase any of my items, I even offer sample sizes. Also, I always include a free perfume petite from our regular priced lines with any order and if you have a specific request, I'd be more than happy to oblige. From time to time I may offer a sale, but there are no sales currently. We are approaching the busy holiday season and may offer a sale from time to time. So check back often. :-)


8. Gift sets, we will be offering gift sets this year. As well as a new body oil, new body butter and Bathory will be making a return, all when the weather cools down.

9. 2nd Fall Debut, the 2nd Fall debut will be happening rather quickly after the first one. This will include new Halloween scents. I anticipate a release around the 1st of September.

That p-retty much sums it up. Now back to work!

Have a fabulous evening!

Sale TAT

I want to take a moment to address TAT. With the recent big sale we just had, we are looking at 5-7 business days. Please note, this does NOT include weekends and holidays.

We are working as quickly as we can. If you are inquiring about your order, please feel free to email me or convo. I will return your convo/email within 48 business hours. 

We are looking to be up to date on orders by this Friday. Perfect timing for our upcoming Fall release next week.

There are 2 of us here processing orders and my kids go back to school tomorrow (I have 4 of them). So this week may prove to be a tad challenging until I get back into the swing of things. Please be patient with me ;-). Thank you!
