I'm just waiting for a text to say that Pixies things have arrived then they will be on sale. The Cherrylicious liquid (NOT concentrate) in 30ml bottles will be on sale on the website for £13.99 plus £3.90 postage. The postage is what it will genuinely cost me but it is for any number of bottles and concentrates etc if you want to add any to the order. I am putting them with the concentrates to sort of hide them in plain sight if you like and I do only have a limited number of what is genuinely the last of it  |

Just so you all know, Pixie has popped in while I wasn't looking and added all the recommended percentages to mix at for her concentrates. You will find them in the product descriptions on my website if that helps anyone!

I think 2.99 is a fair price with RD. Agree as soon as the kool orange is back in stock I will place a order 4x10ml It has just been posted to me (along with the Cherrylicious e-liquid) so will be on sale tomorrow! |

Right, just to put the great postage controversy to bed I have amended my prices. The prices now show the actual Royal Mail prices for 1st and 2nd class recorded delivery rather than the rounded up prices I was using to make life simpler. There is obviously also the £2.99 price for up to 4 bottles of Pixie concentrate. I am not going to rethink sending out everything recorded delivery so those are the prices. I priced the concentrates without building in any postage to the price. I did this because I think it's fairer if you are buying anything more than one or two BUT it means if I wasn't to charge what it actually costs to post them then I wouldn't make a profit on sales of 4 bottles and would lose money on sales of 1 to 3 bottles. Why weren't you charging £2.99 I hear you say? - quite simply because I am now going to have to be VERY careful how I package orders of 4 or less bottles or the jiffy bag wont fit through the large letter slot at the Post Office 4 x 10ml bottles (plastic ones of course) will go through the LL slot fine. Anything more mind and good luck with that et al. You are best pricing in extra costs into the product price - inflating p&p costs tends to infuriate people (regardless of the fact in ends up being the same thing etc). I am damned if I do and damned if I don't really!  The 'problems' start with it being a premium product that actually costs Pixie more to make because of the ingredients she uses than perhaps other concentrates people are comparing them with. I did think for quite a while about how to price them and decided that this way was actually the fairest and cheapest for the customer, if I built postage into the price then I expect I would get as many complaints about having to pay over £5 for a 10ml bottle as I do for not having 'free' postage! I have however listened to people's concerns and introduced a cheaper rate for smaller orders, if people still think it's unreasonable then please accept my apologies but that is the price I'm afraid! |

Yep the postage costs are way over the top, First Class Large Letter Signed for, up to 250g, £20 value, up to £50 compensation is only £2.34 not £7. A parcel is only £4.30 and 2nd class recorded small parcel is £3.90 (apart from an order of maybe 3 of Pixie sized bottles....maybe), add in a jiffy bag and £4.00. While you people are as honest as the day is long unfortunately there are people who aren't. It saddens me that I have to send things recorded delivery but paypal are so biased against people selling goods it's the only protection I have (and even then it's not much) because sent unrecorded all people have to do is lodge a complaint to paypal and they get their money back from me pretty much no questions asked. My delivery charges are the same price no matter what or how much you order. Yes if you order 2 10ml bottles of concentrate it seems a lot, possibly rather less so for 3 litres of liquid I would say and my prices are far from the most expensive. I don't want to be difficult so I've added a new rate of £2.99 for orders of up to and including 4 bottles of concentrate. Any orders for more than 4 bottles or containing other items will not be accepted if you try and use that postage option I'm afraid. |

Just a little update on the Cherrylicious - this is what Pixie has decided to make 10 x 6mg 50/50 30ml 20 x 12mg 50/50 30ml 20 x 18mg 50/50 30ml 10 x 24mg 50/50 30ml again, hopefully the middle of next week and as I said previously this really is it's final bow I haven't quite decided whether to put it on the website or not but I'll let you know when I actually get my hands on it! I will just also add that selling the pre made liquid like this is a one off so please don't ask me for other pre made flavours |

If I have broken a rule then I do apologise, I did read through the pinned post at the top of this section and as I read it I thought it was a recommendation rather than a requirement but I have added a simple link now. I'll be honest I don't really want a huge garish 'buy my stuff' signature at the bottom of every post I make. My avatar and user name make it quite clear I'm here to sell things I think without shoving it in peoples faces all the time? I don't think anyone is complaining, it just makes it easier to jump to your website when you announce something of interest  no, and I wasn't taking any offence just covering all the bases |

Thanks for being so welcoming everyone! I have started a vendor thread about the concentrates - I've included all of my last post here but don't look at it, think you've read it already and not bother reading it all....... there are some extra bits and you might miss out on something you might find of interest at the end if you don't read it all!  |

Hello everyone! Just to answer a few of your questions:
The % to add is on the bottles as people have mentioned. It is something I will be putting on the website as well when I get a minute (I'm not getting many spare at the moment unfortunately!) but in the mean time if there are any you want to know before ordering I'm happy to have a look for you.
The bottles, labelling, purple bags and obviously the concentrates themselves are direct from Pixie as always, I am working very closely with her but my only involvement really is selling them so don't worry that anything has changed about the product
The flavours I have are what Pixie has at the moment - there are a couple she can't make any more as the flavours she used in them are no longer available (Cherrylicious and a Peach one spring to mind) BUT if enough people let me know that they would like one of the ones missing from the ones I have then she will mix up a batch.
Discount codes - basically no, my policy is that I source the best of everything I can (and I wont sell anything that isn't the best quality available) and sell it at the very best price I can by default.
I had a good chat with River this morning and he is correct in telling you that I will be selling premixed bases that you just add the concentrates to. I'm still working through a few details with the concept but I have a few ideas on the go and I'm hoping to have something worked out by this time next week.
In the mean time if you've ordered anything from me after lunchtime today then your order will be going out on Monday morning and I shall keep you up to date with any news or new flavours (there is one due in 2 or 3 weeks!)
