How BPAL lost my business today

BPAL (black phoenix alchemy lab) makes the perfumes I like.

Today, they lost my business. I posted a few days ago about a price hike which was happening. The direct quote from the announcement is:

"We have done our best to make this as painless as possible. To that end, the following changes to oil prices are in effect as of the inception of ( Read more... )

She has a reputation as a drama queen of the highest order, and the attitude permeates their customer service. They were pretty nasty to me last year after they lost an order that had included a free bottle and they wouldn't make it up.

I screwed up how I paid for the order I made yesterday. I've e-mailed to ask how it can be fixed, but if they tell me that I'll have to cancel and re-order at the higher prices, that'll be it for me as well.

Hello random person! I saw a post of yours in vegancooking (and may I saw its great to see a darkly-inclined fellow vegan :)). I adore your layout - did you customize it? If so how - I would dearly love to add bats or cats to the Po layout myself, as you have...

I'm not strictly vegan, I do eat dairy and fish on occasion, but I do enjoy vegan food and was strictly vegan for some time. Alas my wonky body is full of strangenesses, and certain nutrients in ther alternative forms just don't cut it for me, so fish and dairy are back. Not that I mind terribly- I do like me some good cheese and a bit of sushi once in a while.

Anyhow, yes- I did customize my layout myself. There are a few communities here which are very helpful s2expressive and s2styles are the two that were most helpful for me. Check them out. The bats and such are images I made myself or manipulated from illustrations in one of my favorite childhood books.

Well every bit counts, I think :). I'm not the strictest vegan out there myself, for eg. I'll eat eggs when they come from my friend's chickens - but I do try to look at the big picture, buy organic when I can e.t.c. I think an 80% vegan is better than an un-thinking omnivore chowing down on Maccas!!

Thanks for the community names!
