Spree #9 - Items posted

hi ladies,

i've posted out the items today afternoon. I've actually carried 2 big bags of nail polish (around 60 bottles?) all the way to my office. So heavy~ haha.. not that i'm complaining but some of the things that build up which really makes me wonder if its worth the effort doing these? hah!

Being a spree organiser is really really not easy. Life is full of choices. I can choose to take it slow or choose to be fast and efficient. I can choose to be service oriented or choose to be nasty. Of coz i choose the good ones. However, sometimes people just take it for granted. Hey, i'm just a spree organiser not a merchant.

Well,i had a very bad day today which makes me so angry! Anyway i'm going to blacklist her from joining my spree. i'm suppose to meet her today and pass her the nail polish which was purchased in aug. till date she has not collected it and not willing pay the postage and opt for post. (fyi, it's 3 bottles only. i've made exception to meet up as initially she ordered more than 5 but many were OOS) When i arrived and sms her, she replied about 5-10mins later and told me she's still in the office and cant meet me and will opt for postage then. Just to let u know, i've tried to arrange meet up many times but the timing and location just cant make it. The location that we r meeting today is not one of the location that i've mentioned in my T&C. i'm compromising by meeting at a more centralize location that both are agreeable. Cmon, dont tell me that you cant inform me earlier that you cant make it? I'm sure that at least 15mins before you should know or forsee whether u can meet me or not since u need to travel there too?! Not when i reach the place on time and after msg u then u tell me u r still in office. That really pisses me off! I rushed all the way down after work and travelled to somewhere that i'm not heading (have to backtrack). Have the basic courtesy to inform me.

Dear ladies, dont misunderstood me that i hate people who are late or what. If you are going to be late, pls inform in advance or slightly late last min, i can understand. But not by "sabo or dua" me. too much! i will not tolerate such behaviour.

Sorry for my lengthy complaints but i feel so much better after letting go my emotions.

*** Steff Wong, YOU ARE BANNED! ***

If any of you have any comments or feedback, pls feel free to comment =)

Spree #9 updates

Hi ladies,

thank you for your patience =)

the items will definitely arrive this week. When i give them the green light to proceed it happened to be sat and they do not ship on weekends! haiz... They reply that they will process and ship the items on monday which is today! hehe.. but due to time difference, i'm not sure if it has not leave their office yet. I've not received the tracking information too. Should be able to see them by tomorrow.

Kinda disspointing that Toyland collection is still not available for sale yet~~ sigh.. Now their reply was " We should have the OPI Toyland sometime next week. " (dated on 25oct) Which means they might have Toyland collection this week?? hmm... the week before they say last week, den last week say next week... *Duhzz* Anyway, they'll definitely put it up for sale its just a matter of time.

i've sent out emails for those whose item are out of stock or pre-ordered toyland.
Pls check your email (even your Spam/bulk mail).
The affected spree-ers are:

• michelle kwang
• shi hui
• jolene yeo
• xerene
• lina lee
• Nely
• Gigi
• jean low

***Kindly respond to my email on the options and alternatives given. ***

As mentioned in my earlier post on the price revision. I'm still monitoring the rates as the USD are getting stronger day by day. It has went up to about 10% compared to few months ago =(

So i'll most probably be increasing the price by 10% or so. Hope you guys can understand my situation =)

Will give the final price when the next spree opens. Probably on next week~

Thanks =D

spree #9 updates

i've placed orders on the same day when the spree closes. Currently i'm in a midst of liasing with head2toebeauty regarding the order as some of the items are out of stocks (although website shows as available).

As for the Toyland Collection, unfortunately it have not arrive H2T =(

They say maybe next week then arrive... hai... For those who've pre-ordered, i'll contact you shortly. Well, here's 2 options for you if you are reading this:

a) Refund
b) Order on the next spree (which will commence early nov)

Do note that i'm going to revise the prices soon due to the strengthening of USD.

So for those who opt for (b), i will retain the same price SGD$10 without having you to top up =)

Besides, those whose items are out of stock, i'll email you shortly after i've consolidated the list.

Thank you for your patience gals!

Btw, this time round i've opted for UPS worldwide saver instead of USPS express mail international since they give me the option and prices are about the same. hehe... At least the delivery date is 3days guaranteed. so now we shall wait for them to dispatch the items out~ =D

can't wait to try the new colors~

Spree #9 is now CLOSED

Spree #9 is now CLOSED

no more orders pls

Thank you =)

Spree #9 - CLOSING 21OCT 8pm

hi all~

we've already reached the target and the spree will close tomorrow (21oct tues) at 8pm. For those who are still deciding and wish to join, pls hurry and email me your orders and transfer the payment before 8pm. Same for those who've not paid for their orders or it'll be cancelled.

Hopefully we are lucky enough to order Toyland collection. hee

Can't wait to try the new collection!

Spree #9 updates 36/50 filled + Toyland collection pre-order

Current status 36/50 slots taken up!

last 14 slots left!

There are quite a few spree-ers who are interested in getting the new collection (OPI holiday in Toyland). However H2T does not have the stocks yet. Their reply is "Hopefully by next week". However they cant give a definate date and suggest to visit their site regularly to check. I may consider extending the spree till next tues 21OCT hope we can manage to order.

Ladies, i would like to hear your views.(pls voice out on the 2nd tagboard on the right)

Shall i extend the spree till 21oct? (coz i'm think we are able to end the spree earlier as we are quite close to the target) IT will probably be just 2-3days extension. Any objections from the spree-ers who are on spree #9? If you would like to TRY your luck, you may also add in your orders for the Toyland collection. (pls include the payment as well. This is to facilitate the spree and reduce delays). In the event its available before spree closes, i'll include your orders in. IF NOT, i'll refund the amount back to you.

For those interested in pre-ordering Toyland collection pls email me your orders to estella85@yahoo.com together with the payment and your account details in case of refund. (If you are not comfortable taking the risk or hassel, i would suggest you to wait for next spree when the stocks are available for sale)

OPI Holiday in Toyland Collection

OPI has just launched the new holiday collection - OPI Holiday in Toyland Collection. I'm sure many of us are very excited to try the new colors. i'm really hoping to place order in time with my current Spree #9 as head2toebeauty does not have the stocks yet compared to 8ty8beauty which is already on sale. argh...

I've emailed to H2T and enquired on the availability.

H2T response "We should have the OPI Toyland Collection hopefully by next week"

Anyway, let us admire the new colors and let the pictures do the talking =)

Spree #8 Arrived!! + Head2toebeauty.com Review

Good news ladies~

Our orders have arrived my doorsteps this afternoon. hehe.. lucky i'm at home (coz i'm on mc) if not gotta arrange redelivery again. I've just sorted out the items and now i'm going to wrap them (for those who've opted for postage). I'll post them out tomorrow so keep a look out in your mailbox~

For those who've opted for meet up, i'll contact you shortly on the meet up timings and location =)

Here's my review for Head2toebeauty:

I'm a very satisfied and happy customer of Head2toebeauty now. This is my first time ordering from them and all my orders came 100% correct. They are all very well packed and arranged. No missing items, no breakages. The only flaw with head2toebeauty is that after i've sent my orders (via their website shopping cart), it took them quite sometime to reply. I've waited for about 3 days before i send an urgent reminder email to them and they responded on the same day! haha.. i should have emailed them earlier then..

Anyway, i can understand also.. maybe they are busy with many orders (business too good?). that's why i am prepared with a few days grace for their response. Btw, they give me a free pink bag! hehe..





















Head2toebeauty VS 8ty8beauty

i'll defenitely purchase from head2toebeauty again although the prices are slightly higher. My past orders with 8ty8beauty always had problems such as missing orders, broken items, wrong item..etc

Besides, the variety of products are also better than 8ty8beauty in my opinion.

Spree #8 updates

Hi ladies,

our items are now on the way to singapore~

Here's the latest status: International Dispatch, October 04, 2008, 3:26 am, ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS)

I've opted for USPS express mail international so estimated arrival is about 5days. So next week we should be receiving our items :)

Do visit my blog regularly for updates and have a good weekend~
