10-10 PROMOTIONS Updates

.
some quick updates on the 10-10 PROMOTION...

.

It's been a crazy, resounding success ... and my "jie-jie" (elder sister) is not here to face the madness, and the adrenalin rush with me! But I am sure she's having some emotional roller coaster of her own in the court room today. (sigh)

.
Anyways, let's talk about the FUN bits which I am sure everyone is waiting to hear.
.

the 25% discount promotion
I have processed ALL orders made between 10:00 to 10:59 am* (i.e. those that are entitled to 25% discounts)... other than those I have personally emailed to.

.
So, since I am totally a novice here and Scrap-n-Crop.com online system 'hung' a few times during the course of the hour due to traffic overload, if I did leave anyone out please email valerie.gan@gmail.com and we'll sort it out later. The time on the check-out cart will be used.

.

apologies!!! slight delays in shipping; but shipping is still SUBSIDISED
As of 10:59 am*, we have received >100 orders ...

.
As much as we would love you to receive your items asap, we can only try our best and please bear with us if there are slight delays (of a couple of days at best).

.
Again, shipping will be subsidised as advertised.

.

my items were SOLD OUT - how?!?
errr... yes, it was a mad rush and carts were coming in simultaneously and there were some that have "0" items (i.e. SOLD OUT) reflected in their carts and final invoices. Well, you will receive a credit note redeemable on your next purchase on any item of your choice.

.

the RM 100 hamper prize

Ahem... saving one of the best news for last!

The first 10 >RM 100 buyers who are in the running for the RM 100 hamper are ...

.
{ drum roll please }

.
. agnes . rachel . jessy . noor . irene . fiona . samantha . nat . farah . anatasia .

.
Val will be sending you each a private email as we have had many request in the past for buyers to remain confidential; hence I'm listing only first names or pet names here. :)
.
.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
.
and the BEST-est for LAST news is:
this Chatter Box Christmas Hamper worth RM 500 is up for grabs
for the biggest spender today
.
{ cart must be in by 11:59pm Malaysian time today 10-10-08.
combined receipts of purchases made today - 10-10-08 - allowed }

* Malaysian Time.

Thanks all and happy shopping,

mr. B goes to court today

.
Dear Supporters,

I apologise for not being able to take your calls or queries this morning, especially when the GREAT 10-10 PROMOTIONS is taking place! because it's yet another important milestone in my son, Bryant a.k.a mr. B, life today: one of the few neuropeadic specialist takes the stand today while the defence lawyers cross-examines her.

Thank you for your continuous support and understanding ... the site will clock the time of purchase (by the way) and I'll settle any queries et cetera later in the evening.

Thanks once again and hugs (I sooooo need it honestly!),

Val
