Jar Fundraising Sale

Once Upon A Time

40% off Jar Fundraiser Sale

In order to change jar styles to a much nicer design that I've picked out, I'm going to be having a 40% off sale in my shop to raise funds until we've reached that goal. I will willingly divulge the amount that I'm trying to reach, and how close we are to that goal to any sale customer that asks for it. The sale will go on until I've reached the goal amount, and am able to purchase the new jars. During the sale the shop may stop taking orders temporarily so that I can catch up to the ones that are being placed, but the sale will still be effective when it reopens.


Terms: The terms of the sale are as follows: order turn around time may increase, (currently the limit is 14 days) but *will not* exceed the time limit to file Paypal disputes. I don't want anyone to feel insecure purchasing from my shop. I will do my best to keep you updated via email, the fan page, and twitter with my progress. In order to receive the discount, you must make a purchase of at least $10. The sale price is automatically reflected in your cart once you add that amount. As a heads up, I will be on vacation from the 20th-24th. You may still place your order during that time, and it will be filled as soon as I return. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all. I will also happily add rainchecks back to the shop for this sale if you would like to take advantage of it, but can't place an order at this time. Thank you all for your help and support ♥

After Black Friday 50% off Sale Information

The store:  http://darkheartdesigns.storenvy.com/

The code will be released tonight (December 9th) via Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/darkheartdesigns and Twitter here: http://twitter.com/DarkHeartDesign

Sale features:

50% off Shipping
50% off Store Wide (The only exception is the Dark Heart's club, and gift cards)
Free gift wrapping upon request
Free print of Kiara (the girl in our banner)
Free Random gift with every order over $10

Sale Details:

Please finish your purchase once you start filling your cart.

The storefront that we're currently using is Storenvy. Right now they only support PayPal, but if you would like to use another payment method, please send me an email.

Since I only stock items in my store that are ready to ship, stock is somewhat limited for this sale. As a heads up, lip gloss stock is the most limited product due to our supplier being out of tubes. Eye shadows are the second most limited product, as I'm only stocking jars in limited quantities, and some of them have not arrived yet. My end goal is to switch to a new style jar, and I don't want to end up with too many of the regular 5 gram jars. Gel liners are limited, but I can make more if needed.

I've tried to stock more products from the new collection, so that more people will have a chance to order them. If there is something that you want, but it's not in stock, *please* email me. I'll be happy to let you know if I can include it with your order, or if I can restock it at a later time for the same price. I'm going to do my best to make sure that everyone gets what they want from the sale, so please email me at tina@darkheartdesigns.com for any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. that you might have. If I have a lot of emails, please give me a little while to answer.

If you're worrying about items going out of stock while you're waiting for me to answer, go ahead and make your purchase containing the products that are in stock, make note of your order number, and include it in the email. I'll do my best to get you all of the products that you'd like to have.

Getting your package in time for Christmas:

The USPS has a calender here: https://www.usps.com/holiday/welcome.htm for you to determine what sort of shipping you should choose. Please keep in mind that our turn around time is 1-4 days, depending on the amount of orders. If your order does contain a Christmas gift, please let me know in the notes section of checkout (Also, please specify if you would like your package gift wrapped).

If you have any other questions, please email me at tina@darkheartdesigns.com
