Yeah, I thought that you had those things in place BEFORE opening for business. Not, wait for orders then fulfill them.

I know people want authentic handmade but I'm moving towards ready made.

True. Unfortunately there’s only a few handmade businesses that I haven’t experienced problems with. The ones like APB for example I hope continue to grow and stay in business.

It’s called Hair Stew by 22nd Century Woman. She emailed a newsletter this morning about being backed up on orders. She said she got new equipment and hired some more people to help her.

Honestly, it’s something that can be duped. It is pricey. I actually received that product along with the DC and shampoo bar during the summer from a contest.

I duped it. It’s much cheaper to dupe. I can easily use 12oz of mixed henna per session so $25 + shipping for 32oz is barely 3 uses.
 
@Aggie I got a refund for my scrunchies. No apology for the inconvenience or excuses. Just my money back. I'm fine with that. I'll make my own satin scrunchies. Off to Pinterest for a tutorial.
Wow @KinksAndInk. I am so sorry this didn't work out for you. On a positive note, she finally shipped my scrunchies today.

That's great! I'll probably make some Friday. I also have plans for some other hair items. I need to stay off Pinterest and YouTube. I wonder if my mom's sewing.machine is still in the basement.
 
@Saludable84, what's your dupe recipe please? I might already have the ingredients in my ayurveda stash.
Water
Wheat germ (small amount or optional)
Cassia
Neem oil
Amla
Brahmi

I didn’t use vinegar simply because I’m LoPo. To me, it’s simply a cassia/scalp treatment. Next time, I will try to make it with thyme eo.
 
She just sent me a note today stating that she apologizes for the delay but that she was sick with the flu for the past week and will be getting my order out in the morning. It will be a month tomorrow since I placed my order. She did say that there were many orders ahead of mine so I let it slide, but at 4 weeks, I draw the line. When I receive my order, I will not be buying from her again - too many excuses.
There must be something in the small business handbook about sickness and delayed orders. :rolleyes:
Do these people not know how long we've been in the game and how many vendors we dealt with?
 
So, I was sitting back thinking about soap to buy, but I just purchased a sub box from APB. I’ll see what comes in that.

APB and Siamese Twist are the only ones on my BF list. Even though my APB stash hasn’t gotten smaller :look:

Thank you so much for this. Do you think the henna will work instead of the cassia? I don't have that yet but then again, I don't have neem oil either (have the powder though). Do I eyeball the measurements or do you have some specifics that you use? How thick/thin should it be?

I know right? I don't wanna hear she been sick, I just want my stuff! And in a timely fashion I might add. I'm just gonna keep it movin' at this rate.
