Trish Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Are you looking only for candle suppliers/stores? Or any type of stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Mainly candle supplier or soap suppliers but a few others for like things like chocolate. For outside of Candle and soap supplier I am looking for the little guy not the big stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I do that kind of Gift Certificate on my site, but I might not be the kind of seller you're looking for. You could try this site: www.secretpalsites.com to see what they have? It has finished products but also chocolate (spoon fudge) and some suppliers. Think I saw jewelry too at one point. This is mostly us "little guys," no chains / big dept. type stores.hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Vicky, is there a particular reason why the gift cert needs to be emailed rather than snail mailed to your recipient?By the way, the chocolate AJ is talking about can be found at www.charssi.com.

Vicky_CO Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes there is I want the ones I send it to be able to redeem quickly and easily and also I don't want to have to ask for recipient physical address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 e-Bay has e-mail gift certs. BCN has a number or something someone would order with after a cert is purchased. Not sure how they notify the giftee. My DH got one for me, and we were waiting for notification of it. When I ordered, I think I needed the order number from the GC purchase.

VerticallyEnhanced Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Speaking as the recipient of a Charssi.com box (thanks AJ!!!) it is HEAVENLY!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 You're very welcome! I just e-mail the G.C. recipient and let him/her know the amount of the certificate and who it's from (usually a secret pal/buddy, so I don't give the actual name of the buyer, obviously!) Then the person receiving the g.c. is given a voucher code so he/she can redeem the g.c. online. It subtracts the amount of the g.c. from his/her shopping cart. That's the way I do it anyway!

AJ, I would have liked to do this, but how are you able to set it up since Mal's cart only allows a maximum of 5 voucher codes? I wouldn't want to be limited to selling only 5 gift certs.

Crafty1_AJ Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yeah, I can only do 5 on Mals too, because I use the free cart. I am wondering if you pay for the upgrade, will you get more than 5? Good question, but I don't know the answer! So I only offer a few different values on GC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks AJ, you've answered my question. I was thinking each customer had to have their own code, hence only 5 people could buy a GC and you would have to stop selling them until at least 1 of them redeemed their cert! But you've certainly made it work by having one code for each value, not each customer. Do you ever have problem of someone trying to reuse their code? That was what I was afraid of and which is why I have only been issuing paper certs which they have to submit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I keep a log book on GC's. Once it's redeemed, that gets noted in the log. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I keep a log book on GC's. Once it's redeemed, that gets noted in the log. hthYes, that makes sense. I've got just one more question (sorry for asking so many!): How do you handle partial or multiple online GC redemptions? Partial as in they have a $20 GC and only used $15 during their purchase. Multiple as in they have 2 $20 GCs and are using both at once - do they have to put through 2 seperate orders for $20 at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterBaker2 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I know Greenleaf emails theirs as well. Though they charge .39 for postage. I haven't quite figured that one out but her products are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Solas Vicky ...Stone Stew Shoppe ... Me LMAO! Check out that SB listing. There's a lot of peeps on it and I bet you could snag a few GCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 I did check out the SB list either I could not find the GC on the sites only a few actually have them or they said it would be mailed, then my eyes started going cross that is when I lost it and asked for help.

I haven't quite figured that one out but her products are awesome.Thanks for the info that would make me not want to use them. It kind of sounds like they are really trying to get there CC charges back where they might have normally added those in with shipping.

Vicky_CO Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thank you all that post a suggestion I appreciate it. If you run across any more let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 My cart is set up so that the person ordering the GC doesn't get charged anything for shipping. Then I send the certificate via e-mail.Will keep my eyes open for more sites that do it this way and let you know if I find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
