Yes.. I've been lurking & not posting
I also just placed an order, and had I a damn brain in my head, I would've emailed to ask if you prefer I NOT go through CCNow ..
Paypal over CCNow .. well, paypal is a bit cheaper, though not everyone has it, with CCNow you can use Credit cards BUT you only get paid twice a month, NOT instantly .. which sucks.
ECommerce is not as cheap as its cracked up to be, All online payments charge fee's to the seller, Real Merchant accounts are twice as expensive and you would have to have an awful lot of business for it to be worthwhile, and with all the other expenses, packing material, supplies ( bottles, labels, .. etc in BP's case )
Web hostong, etc etc ..
Most of us hardly make ANY profit..
So why do we do it ??
MUST be because we love owning our own business, though some days ... just plain suck, lol ~
BP Honey, I feel for ya, you have had more troubles this past year than ever (
Time for a turn around!
I've also checked into other shipping methods .. UPS .. etc .. but I end up packing my own stuff & carting the load to the PO everytime I ship .. which saves me the pickup fee, ( but gas is horrid, so luckily I live close to a post office! ) and I use Delivery confirmation on everything that ships within the US ..
I've had only one "lost" package that I know of and that, well, I think was just stolen. Never had much problem with international shipping either, I must be one ofthe lucky ones
If I lived closer, I'd come help you, Doll !
Anyhoo ~
HELLO to Beth, Gothabilly ( you wench MIA !! ), Angela & BlackRayne .. so far you are the only lovelies I recognize!!
( sorry for being long winded ! )
