As I’ve mentioned previously here on the blog and on facebook,
tomorrow’s stocking will be on Big Cartel.
Here is what to expect:
- Diapers will go live at or very shortly before 8pm EST at
http://twinkietush.bigcartel.com. Listings on BC must be put up manually, as
there is no clock like there is on HC.
Wool will go live one listing at a time starting at 8:15pm EST.
- Once the site is out of maintenance mode and goes live,
you will need to navigate using the sidebar links on the right to see individual
diaper and/or wool listings.
- You will then need to scroll to find the diaper or wool you
would like to purchase and click on the specific listing. (Alternatively, you can choose to save the
exact URL for the diaper you would like to purchase tonight while the diapers
and wool are in preview mode.)
- Once in the listing, click the “Add to Cart” button at the
bottom of the item description.
- Once in your cart, please choose your country for shipping
(either United States or Canada) and click “Checkout”. Clicking “Update Order”
is not necessary as shipping will be automatically added in PayPal. Clicking
“Update Order” will slow your transaction potentially allowing another shopper
to secure the diaper so you need only click “Checkout” once your country is
selected.
- This will bring you to the paypal portal where you will
enter your paypal username and password to process payment. Once you've reached
the paypal portal your diaper is secure for 30 minutes.
- Once in paypal, please complete all payment steps to
receive an order confirmation that completes your transaction.
Please note that the diaper is not secure until you have
clicked the “Checkout” button and are taken to the paypal portal for payment.
Once at the paypal portal, you have 30 minutes to complete payment before the
diaper automatically relists itself.
A few things to remember about Big Cartel stockings:
- We are not able to manually "dump" carts. We
wish we were! 30 minutes is a very long time. On HC the carts dump at 10
minutes, for reference. If you cart a diaper you do not wish to purchase, we
ask that you please remove it from your cart so that another shopper can cart
it.
- We are not able to see who has what in their cart like we
are on HC. Therefore until payment is completed we will not know the fate of
any given diaper and will not be able to assist with cart issues.
- In terms of longer term consideration, something to note
about BC is that we cannot save listings, even on the seller side. So you would not be able to refer back to
listings as you have been on HC.
- If you live in the United States, only First Class
shipping without insurance can be purchased on BC. Those who want Priority Mail
and/or insurance are asked to email us within 30 minutes of checkout so that we
can invoice you for the additional cost. Insurance is not required but is
always recommended. We are very sorry that we cannot offer this option at
stocking - we certainly would like to be able to.
- If you live outside of the United States: International
packages including Canadian shipments can only be shipped via first class mail,
no insurance. International customers outside of Canada should simply select
Canada and then email us to finalize costs. This is identical to our HC
process.
- Drawings are not available on BC and will still be done on
HC. Keep an eye on the facebook page - I will remind you when drawings are up!
- Please remember that this is a new experience for us as
well! We have only stocked on BC once before now. There may be moments of
frustration tomorrow for all of us, but we feel that overall BC is a wonderful
temporary solution for us as we continue to build twinkietush.com and we do not
anticipate crashes with BC, which is a beautiful thing!
Please let me know if you have questions, either here, via
email, or on facebook. Thank you as
always for your support! See you
tomorrow for stocking! :)
