I guess shipping is always the most difficult part of running a business since it's the only part that's completely out of one's control.<br /><br />Thank you for the lovely wishes, and I wish you a prosperous year filled with happiness and joy and lots of inspirational new recipes.<br /><br />A quiet New Year's Eve sounds like the perfect way to go.

If I can stay up until midnight Central time, I'm doing well. :)<br /><br />Shipping in Canada is very frustrating because we don't have the flat rate boxes you have in the States, and boy would I love those. It would make life so much easier. Fortunately, my web designer said she can fix my shipping so that's one more problem resolved.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment about the frogs. I guess this lady's son is really into frogs. Maybe he'll fashion them into Teenage Mutant Turtles. ;)SoapSudsationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718909493010782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406769703698885901.post-11332609400721722502014-01-07T13:40:24.997-08:002014-01-07T13:40:24.997-08:00Happy 2014, Monca!

I'm sorry to hear about the problems with the order. Shipping can be difficult to estimate, and I'm glad that your customer is understanding and nice about it while you're still figuring things out. Congrats on the sale! Oh, and the frog soaps are super-cute!LatherBeSoapinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018716091511424218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406769703698885901.post-56787316784580362152014-01-06T20:40:02.792-08:002014-01-06T20:40:02.792-08:00You should've hired a landscaper for his abili...You should've hired a landscaper for his abilities to landscape, not to be a good looking part of it Michelle. ;D<br /><br />I think shipping is always the most difficult part of setting a website. The software I'm using for my website design has good options for shipping from the US, but I've seen other Canadians being stymied by it, mostly because I think Canada Post doesn't play nicely with others.<br /><br />I'm very grateful for a very understanding customer as well. It's giving me motivation to pay more attention to what's on my website as well.<br /><br />As my friend has said to me before, "From your lips to God's ears" and in this case, I'm hoping the soaping and business gods are listening. :) SoapSudsationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718909493010782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406769703698885901.post-46833144826973016752014-01-06T20:36:44.146-08:002014-01-06T20:36:44.146-08:00It's a lesson learned, that's for sure Ter...It's a lesson learned, that's for sure Teresa. And fortunately I got to learn this lesson with someone who's very nice. I knew mailing with Canada Post was going to be costly, but I didn't factor in that it would cost that much more to mail things across the country.SoapSudsationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718909493010782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406769703698885901.post-85303356189142005782014-01-06T10:45:55.991-08:002014-01-06T10:45:55.991-08:00You mean... aside from the mistake I made a couple...You mean... aside from the mistake I made a couple years ago hiring that stupid landscaper. LOL! <br /><br />Seriously though, I feel for you. <br /><br />I have to admit, for the little time I set up my website for selling I didn't include any area outside the U.S. just because I couldn't get the shipping down. I never really got my website off the ground because the shipping part was so confusing. It was really the cart I chose though... I wish I had picked a more user friendly one. <br /><br />Like T, I too am happy the customer has been understanding about it. <br /><br />2014 will be great for you though. You now have the one single frustrating thing out of the way and it is all up hill from here!

Glad she's so nice and reasonable about it. :)Teresa Robesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848939225552527941noreply@blogger.com
