A while ago a lovely lady offered to pick up bottles at NYCC if I was doing a decant circle for this update, and so I am :) This is an international-based BPAL NYCC Event Exclusive decant circle for the perfume oils available during the NYCC on October 11-14.
This circle is based in Singapore, but I will ship anywhere, with or without registration. I've never sent a package that have gone missing, but registration gets you tracking to most countries, so I strongly suggest taking advantage of it as I won't be responsible once things are shipped out.
The circle will be open until I receive the goodies (or everything is filled). I am sorry, no addons are possible. If you have any questions on how I run group orders and decant circles,
this post will help, but please feel free to ask any questions. I am angelamaria on bpal.org if you are looking for feedback.
Updates: (All times are +8 GMT)
03 October: Circle opened :)
13 October: Our fairy has shipped our bottles :)
22 October: closing the circle now to print the labels and finalized some duplicate requests. The package should arrive sometime this week!
24 October: We've received our bottles! I am in the process of decanting. Since there are a few packages to be mailed I will be splitting up getting these out, between tomorrow (Thursday) and Saturday (Friday is a public holiday here). Also, some of our bottles have faulty caps :( So there are even less bottles to go around. Sorry about that.
25 October: Half of the circle participants have been sent out, specifically the half that opted for registered mail. If you went for registration, you should have received a notice from Paypal on your registration number--if you haven't, please let me know and I will send it to you manually :) Next half will go out on Saturday as Friday is a public holiday here.
27 October: Everything is out! All packages have been sent out as of this morning. :)
Decants:
Decants are $5.00 each, six decants per bottle. I know the pricing is a bit high, but the blends are $23 from the lab, and with the sales tax and Paypal fees from me to my fairy--yeah. I'm not rolling in the shipping from me to my fairy, but I'm paying for priority so hopefully it will get here a little bit quicker. Any help with this is appreciated but not required :)
There will be two bottles per blend. If, unfortunately, a blend sells out super quick and we are unable to get a bottle, I will refund those who ended up on the missing bottle(s). Sorry!
For the moment, I will be limiting each person to one decant per blend, to spread the love. I will open up duplicates at a later time if there are slots available; feel free to ask to be waitlisted for dupes if you want. I'll pass along the bottles as well, limited to one bottle per person; please state if you'd like one, and which.
I decant cleanly into PilotVials vials after gently rolling the bottles, and my labels are narrow, printed labels with a small flag at the end, so you can see the oil level easily.
See this photo for a sample printout. Decants are tucked into a ziplock pouch and wrapped with bubble wrap before being placed in a new bubble envelope.
Shipping:
This is an Asia-centric decant circle, based in Singapore, but I am willing to ship anywhere (air mail), with or without registration.
$1.80 - Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei
$2.30 - Asia/Pacific excluding Japan, Australia, NZ
$3.00 - Everywhere else
Registration is an additional $2.00, which gets you tracking to most countries, so I recommend going for that option. Please inquire if you have any questions on tracking for your country, transit times between Singapore and your country, or any other specific shipping arrangement you need.
Payment method:
Paypal, balance or credit card is fine. Please don't back out, and pay ASAP, within 24 hours. Funds are tight and I'd like to pay the lovely fairy as early as possible. Thanks!
Please comment here to be added and what you want, your location, and your preferred shipping method (normal/registered).
