No 'Foolin'
I have a couple of exciting things to tell you
about this month. One will save you some $$$ and the other might save
you some $leep. I also want all of you to know that the
'colonoscopy' thing was a complete April Fool's joke and way too many of you
thought it was serious. That's why it gets more and more difficult to
joke around. Why don't we set a rule right here and now?
Never believe anything I say unless I say I am say
I am serious, seriously - unless of course if I am not being serious when I
say I am. Got it? Good!
A great thing for online shoppers !!!!
Before I get started I want to make sure you
understand that I have no connection or association with Discover Card nor
am I receiving any form of compensation for presenting this to you.
This is one of those FYI things that I think you will like. I am going
to give you some links where you can get more detail but I'll give you the
gist of it here.
More and more of us are shopping online and
protecting our credit card information becomes more and more important.
Discover Card has a unique new program and it works like this.......
You get a "dummy" credit card number for each supplier you deal with online.
You send the supplier the "dummy" information and they store it for current
and future use. When he/she processes a charge to your "dummy card" it
actually gets applied to your "real" card. You NEVER send your real
information to anyone. So, if someone were to "steal" one of your
"dummy" numbers they can't use it because it can only be used by the first
merchant you give it to. Slick , huh? You can get as many "dummy"
credit card numbers as you want

The main reason I started selling stamps was to save you crazy
stampers some $$$. From time to time I like to remind you of this.
Sometimes I get asked "What is your favorite stamp?" I really
don't have any favorites as I am not a stamper (I still have my sanity!)
Once in a while I will see a stamp that really impresses me though and
that is what I'm gonna tell you about now.
Here is the stamp:
#1850L -
Whispered Wishes
It measures 4-1/2" x 4" and I am anxious to see what some of
you do with it!
Yesterday Addicted To Rubber Stamps was offering this on sale
at 15% off - $ 10.28
Their normal price is $ $ 12.10 - My normal
price is $ 10.50 so you can sorta say that my stamps are always on sale.
I get people asking me if my stamps ever go on sale - duh! I
hope you are sitting down for this: This stamp is from the 2000
catalog and will most likely be RETIRED when current supplies are gone.
Penny Black tells me they have enough stuff to make about 100 of these.
And I want MY customers to have the FIRST chance to get the LAST ones.
I got in contact with our new President, Barack O'Bama and
asked him if I could have some stimulus money to help resuscitate the Red
Rubbah Rage that at one time was at a fever pitch. We was so kind to
tell the Treasury Department to do whatever I asked. I asked them for
enough money so I could make this ridiculous offer.......
To the first 100 who jump on board: You can get this
stamp for ONLY $ 8.42
Shipping and handling is ONLY $ 17.35
--------------- That's a JOKE ----------
Shipping & Handling is $ 2.50
Just send me an email to order......yes, you can add other
stamps to the order and if you do I just might get crazy and discount those
some too. I'm losing my mind! Click
HERE to send email.
Here is Addicted's shipping policy - directly form their
website:
$3.96 - Economy shipping: Delivery in approximately 2-3
Weeks
6 business days for Order Processing + Ground Delivery (Includes insurance.)
$4.95 - Standard shipping: Delivery in approximately 1-2 Weeks
3 days for Order Processing + USPS Priority Mail (Includes insurance.)
$7.90 - Rush shipping: Delivery in about 1 Week
1 business day for Order Processing + USPS Priority Mail (Includes
insurance.)
Isn't it amazing? They want you to pay MORE to get
them to do a BETTER job - They want you to pay them an extra $
2.95 for them to process the order in one day instead of 3 days.
That my friends is BS
I don't know how companies like this stay in business -
ALWAYS ripping off the customer - high prices and crazy S&H
I ship same or next business day after payment is
received and packages are usually delivered in 2-3 days TOPS! AND, I
charge actual postage (sometimes just a few pennies more on super small
orders)
There is one more thing I want to make you aware of.
Some people are under the impression that when they pay using PayPal
they get the benefit of PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy. This
is ONLY true when the purchase is made through eBay. The
following is taken directly from PayPal's website:
PayPal Buyer Protection
If you don't receive your item, or the item is significantly different
from its description in the seller's listing, PayPal Buyer Protection
covers eligible transactions for up to the full purchase price plus
original shipping charges. (Some purchases aren’t eligible for this
program, including vehicles in the Motors category, capital equipment in
the Business & Industrial category, and Real Estate.)
An item is covered by PayPal Buyer Protection if:
You purchase the item on eBay.
You use PayPal to pay for the item.
You correspond with the seller using the email address associated with
the seller’s listing (make sure by using the Pay Now button when the
eBay listing ends).
The seller's listing is for a physical item – services and intangible
items aren't covered.
You file only one claim per PayPal payment.
You open the case no later than 45 calendar days from the date of your
PayPal payment and – if you need to – escalate it to a claim no more
than 20 calendar days after you open your case.
You meet the PayPal Buyer Protection requirements outlined in Section 13
of the PayPal User Agreement.
Back to the stamp........ I do not have a large quantity of these in
stock so I will place my order with Penny Black on 4/20 and I will
be able to ship to you about 4/30. I will accept orders at
this price until 4/18/09 and the order must be paid for by that
date. Can you believe that some people order then don't pay!
Amazing!! I don't want bunches of these left in my
inventory so that is why I must have payment before I place my order
with Penny Black.
More and more of you are now trusting me with your credit card
information and I appreciate that. If I have your card
information I will not charge your card until the day of shipment.
I DO NOT keep credit card information on my computer so it is
virtually impossible for it to be "stolen". For those of you
who might be reconsidering giving me your card information please
use this link to send the data. This makes me a very happy
boy!
DICKIE's SUPER SECURE SENDING SYSTEM
That's about it for now but I also want you to know that I
am negotiating a super deal with Penny Black and if successful you will be
happy too!
