I am ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ to get back into the swing of things here!!
โผ๏ธ UPDATES:
โขAll missing/ remakes from Rounds 2/3 of squishies are FINALLY supposed to deliver to my vendor 7/22. We are watching this closely to give updates. Please pray it arrives so we can all be done with these early rounds ๐ตโ๐ซ
โขRound 5 squish is on time. Arrived to vendor 4th of July week and has shipped to me. Last tracking update was 7/15 in TN so hoping it arrives any day! This new vendor is so great and fast! Thank god!! ๐๐ผ
๐ฉท Now For Some Real Talk!!
This will be long- Sorry!! Thanks for reading if you do! First I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has been so patient and kind during this time. I have apologized profusely about the delays with the original early squishy rounds. No one had any idea when these became available what a sh*ttt show it would be. Itโs no fault of mine or my vendors- itโs the factories. Sending completely wrong items, or missing hundreds of items & not telling anyone. So many vendors and boutiques are all in the same boat. I think once they opened for ordering it was so nuts the factories just did and sent what they want. My Round 2/3 vendor is amazing and I trust her fully. She is doing everything to make this right & have a more trustworthy factory now BUT I KNOW itโs frustrating. Trust me- itโs more frustrating for me- my life is completely overtaken by these first rounds. All I talk about is squishies. It literally keeps me awake at night. I do not like or think itโs ok for you all to be waiting SO LONG for things you paid for. If you know me or youโve been here any length of time you know I am a people pleaser. I will always do ANYTHING it takes. And I have done that. I spend all day messaging, following up, figuring out solutions etc I have paid out of pocket for some remakes as well as paid extra shipping charges. I have offered you all extra store credits & free extras in some scenarios. I offered 50% payment only on round 5 until arrival just to show my good faith that the new vendor is awesome. I have spent so much time on this bc of these mistakes that your orders have cost ME money now๐ตโ๐ซ. So please know I am doing everything I can to get Round 3 done and over with. If I couldโve re ordered everything through my new vendor I gladly would have. But unfortunately the orders were so large I cannot re order $3,500 in squishes out of my pocket and then HOPE I sell the original $3,500 in product when it arrives asโextrasโ. This hanging over my head literally is causing me anxiety (which I donโt normally have) and keeping me up at night. I have been doing this 8 years (which if your new here is also is a testament that I have lasted this long is our small towns bc Iโm honest, offer high quality products & hardly have issues but will always make any right) and I have never experienced a mess this big & my vendors all say the same. Again I AM SORRY! & I will continue to say Iโm sorry until Iโm blue in the face but also I will not take total disrespect. I am never rude to anyone- here or in real life. And Iโm not going to take a beating over a SQUISH TOY. People are sick and dying daily in this world- if your biggest problem is our squishy order taking long then your doing amazing. It doesnโt mean Iโm OK with this delay- it just means we need to check how weโre treating people over toys. I canโt even scroll fb without reading of a husband or wife dying or an entire family, or a child sick with cancer about to die. Like we need to be more kind & see what really matters. ๐ฉท
I have been more quiet these past 2 weeks bc Iโm overwhelmed & didnโt want to take more on my plate plus regular life stuff- And Iโm sorry for that also- sometimes life has to come first. Im a wife & mom & person too, I have a 20 year old son & have also a special needs daughter I do everything for 24/7 except the few days I work pharmacy here and there. I try to never use that as an โexcuseโ but sometimes thatโs the reality if Iโm slower at posting or messaging. I did not have any order deadlines due so knew I could focus on my family. My messages are horrific with everyone asking for updates. Iโll be honest it is hard to manage and is a mess. My first priority is my tshirt orders that have due dates and getting out squishy orders that are in front of me before responding to hundreds of messages just inquiring. Iโm sorry thatโs just how it has to be bc I literally donโt have enough time in the day otherwise.
*Refunds- A few of you have asked for refunds- unfortunately at this time I cannot just offer free refunds bc I am not getting refunded. My orders are thousands of dollars so to offer that isnโt feasible. What I CAN do if you do not want your items anymore is when they arrive I can post them up for grabs & then refund you when they sell. That may be frustrating in your opinion but Iโm sorry thatโs how it is. Thatโs how every other boutique is doing this also & again I am trying to make things right and work with everyone the best I can so I hope you can understand that!
๐ฉท I think this covered everything- if you made it this far I LOVE & appreciate you!!! ๐ฉท If you have an urgent/ NON- SQUISHY order or a squishy order ready that we brought in from the heat and you want to pickup please comment below and ask me to message you so I can just search you by name and PM. I am going to try to get my inbox cleared this week but again itโs bad & feels like I get nowhere so this is easiest right now.
And AGAIN I AM TRULY SORRY FOR ANY SQUISHY ISSUES & DELAYS!!!
