[Minnie&Nana]

Hope we hear more news of arrivals today!

Gosh what will I do when this is over!! Oh, off to WDW on the 9th!!

Have a great day, everyone!

 

[Meriweather]

According to tracking, my order had been delivered 11/24!

Bobbi

I thought it might have arrived, Bobbi.
I have a PM into the person, but she hasn't been online since 11/14!!
I hope we hear from her before we wrap this one up.

Oh poor you, Christine Have a great time!!

Spring exchange will start March 1st!!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh,boy, March 1st - I'm already excited!


Yeah, I know,Nancy,....but someone's gotta go to Disney to keep it up and running

I'm thinking of taking along a couple of my tea lights..oh, but then the room won't have that "Disney scent"...decisions, decisions..

Has anyone tried the candles they sell at Disney? Wondered about the quality.

Hi everyone!! I'm baaack!! We had such a great trip and I came home to find a Yankee Candle package waiting for me!

Thanks to you Queenie....I received a Ribbon Candy candle (delicious), Cranberry Chutney tarts, a snowman tartwarmer, and a beautiful plate. How did you know I LOVE snowmen?? Thank you so much!!

And to Arly...so glad you liked your package.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...now I have to decide if I like this new layout.

Thanks Nancy for another fun exchange!

So glad you like it!!! I was having so much fun choosing, as you can see I couldn't settle on one specific "flavor".

Welcome back and hope you had a wonderful trip. I'm off to pack for my trip now, I sent Nancy a PM, not realizing you had posted and I thought I had sent to another DIS member (how embarassing )...sigh...sorry...you can tell my head's in a whirlwind. (Thanks Nancy for the clarification...it would have been pretty awkward! )

But I'm really glad you like the package, enjoy it in good health and good spirits!

 

[Meriweather]

Do we have any good news today?? I hope, I hope.

mrsheppo....check your PMs.

I finally got my tart burner today. I had called about it being missing on the 19th.
And....IT WAS BROKEN!!
Needless to say they got a call from me and I also just finished an e-mail.
Seems if they forgot it to start with, they should have shipped faster.
And it was wrapped in a single sheet of small bubble wrap. I could hear it, before I even opened it

No news here yet. Well, no message from security saying they have a package for me. I've also been on the lookout for a notice from Canada Post saying I have to pick something up at the post office (although that would mean I'd have to pay duty, which would be lousy! I guess it depends how Yankee marks the shipment.)

That's a shame about the tart burner Meriweather. Those things seem to get broken a lot in transit from Yankee. Do they usually not wrap them well?

 

[Meriweather]

Actually I have never had anything from Yankee break before. They are usually wrapped VERY well. This time however, it wasn't.
They have always been great about problems or when you are unhappy with them....so we shall see.

I believe the person that ordered for you Beams, is checking on it with Yankee.

I hope we get some news today......guess people do need to get home from work

 

[BeamsofLight]

Well, that's good to know. I've looked at ordering things from them online before, since we don't have any actual YC stores up here. I just wasn't sure things would arrive in one piece.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this week!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, Nancy! That's too bad! Considering all that's been shipped through this exhange there have been very few broken arrivals.

I hope they take care of it asap - you're right, it should have been shipped immediately since it was their error.

Hope it gets straightened out soon!!

 

[Meriweather]

Customer service actually called me this afternoon.
Seems people are human and make mistakes That's customer service. If they expedited all orders with problems they would go broke
But after talking and talking I will receive a new one by Monday

And since I was talking to a real person I asked about the Canadian delivery.....seems unless the sender paid the extra $15.......it will take 6 WEEKS!!!
Looks like you may have to be very patient Beams. Hope you like holiday scents AFTER Christmas.
Sorry about that.
I guess shipping for ourselves to Canada is the better option.

No arrivals today??

Jinkies! I wonder if they'll let me keep the horse they're sending it on?
Ah well, I would never expect someone to pay an extra $15. I don't mind waitin'. I'm sure the candle(s) will smell good whenever they get there. In the meantime, I'll just hope that 6 weeks is their very conservative estimate, and it will still be here before Santa.
Glad you got your burner problem worked out Meriweather. Although when they say "if they expedited all orders with problems, they'd go broke", it doesn't fill me with confidence in their shipping! LOL

 

[Beanie]

Nancy, so sorry to hear that your tart warmer was broke!! That stinks!
Did you try the Ribbon Candy yet?? Come on, don't keep me waiting...you know how long I have been waiting to hear what you think!!

 

[KimRaye]

Did you try the Ribbon Candy yet?? Come on, don't keep me waiting...you know how long I have been waiting to hear what you think!!

Yeah, me too!

Bummer about the burner, Nancy. I've had only ONE item arrive broken, and they sent another, and it was broken, so they sent a 3rd, and it was fine. It really wasn't their packing, but the item itself. I felt bad having them send 3, I bought the holder on clearance after C'mas last year, but they were broken , and VERY nice about it.

 

[Meriweather]

Did you try the Ribbon Candy yet?? Come on, don't keep me waiting...you know how long I have been waiting to hear what you think!!

It's good.....but not a favorite.
Smells like cherry candy.....DD likes it a lot

We seem to be stuck.....no arrivals today??

 

[KimRaye]

Smells like cherry candy.....

YUM!!!!

 

[Meriweather]

YUM!!!!

You'll like it Kim. Did you order? I hear it is backordered

 

[Beanie]

You'll like it Kim. Did you order? I hear it is backordered

Cherry candy...yummy! I can't wait to get mine!!

 

[KimRaye]

Cherry candy...yummy! I can't wait to get mine!!

At least you ordered already. I'm watching one on Ebay.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Hope everyone has a great day!

All yesterday as I got ready for work I could smell Christmas Eve scent in my new Snowman holder! Hours after it was out my daughter commented on the nice smell in the apt

Tanks again,Teresa!

 

[Meriweather]

Surely someone will receive something today!!
