I have a condo, but I have that generic condo/apt style mailbox. My last BPAL package fit inside my mailbox. I always get worried about packages being left at my front door...I was very relieved when my last BPAL shipment was inside the box!! But I'd be fine with signing anyway...my PO is up the street and relatively efficient. --amy

I don't have a problem sending money orders instead of using the credit card. If that helps on your end at all... Is there a benefit to using CCNow instead of just using Paypal? Just curious.

Honestly, I just assumed the insurance was included in BPAL rates. I just paid $8.50 for shipping. The actual postage was $3.85 I think...I figured maybe $.45 for delivery confirmation, $2.20 for insurance, $1-2 handing fee. You all are going to hate me for saying this, but I can't pay $10 shipping on a small, light package under 1lb. I do a lot of online shopping and it just doesn't sit well with me. There are so many companies out there that inflate their shipping rates. I'm NOT saying Black Phoenix is one of them. It's just something I see a lot. Especially on Ebay. LUSH's shipping is rediculous. I would rather see companies charge what they need to for their products and charge actual shipping...instead of giving some "deal" on a product and inflating the shipping costs. I am in no way pointing fingers at anyone...Just my $.02 about shipping and the web. Sorry about going off on that tangent! --amy

Astrological Info: Capricorn (1/7/75 6:50am) How you found out about BPAL: I honestly don’t remember but I found them in January of 2003. I was probably surfing the web looking for clovey perfumes. Any comments you'd like to add about the Lab or life in general: About the Lab: The Lab is fantastic. I can’t give them enough props for their hard work and creativity. They make a customer feel like a friend or family member—instead of just a “billing name and invoice number”. Thanks Beth and crew for being so genuine. About life in general: It’s better to try and fail than never try at all.

Bliss smells exactly like a Hershey's Chocolate Almond Kiss to me.

I don't think it is. I never got an email in the past or recently. And I got my shipment today. Very pleasant surprise!! Just curious: Elizabeth, are you shipping from a different PO? What the hell happened with all of those orders?!?!? Inquiring minds want to know! --Amy

Go ahead and send them a little email about the $16/6 error. I don't think anyone would hold you to that rate anyhow. It's not a mistake on YOUR website. It's a 3rd party typo. Don't stress!

I totally dig that idea!!! I might go make a few for my fav scents and see how they look.

Elizabeth, hang in there, champ! And Hello to Brian.

Try not to stress. It'll all work out.

This place is feeling more and more like a support group for addicts!! "Hi, my name is Amy, and I'm a BPAL addict." OH MY!! :shock:

Hmmm, I wonder what the ingredient is. I have a sample of it...I quite like it. Anywho, I just put in a huge ass order. I narrowed my list to 18 samples and (2) 5ml bottles. I just keep telling myself that I'm making up for all of the years when I couldn't find perfumes that I liked. So really, with my twisted way of rationalizing my purchases, it only costs me several cents a day. (I almost broke into a Sally Struthers spoof....but I'll save you all the pain.) I eagerly, but patiently, await. --Amy

Oh goodness dear....Good thing I just got paid. Beth, you are going to get nailed with orders this week. Take plenty of vitamins!! :shock:

Old Port Au Prince is quite almondy. I have a 5ml bottle. It makes me smell like an almond cookie. --Amy

I don't know if Nero has any mint in it...but my sample smells a little like Vicks Vaporub. I'm wearing it today actually. I love wearing it to bed...helps me drift off to sleep. (NERO: Rosemary, bay, pine and a touch of lemon.) --Amy
