PayPal and Disappearing Products

Why PayPal?
Participate in our little experiment. Pay for your order with Paypal and receive 10% of your merchandise total back within 48 business hours. We're testing the posibility of changing our merchant account to paypal, their fee structure, and the plausibility of whether they would well handle the volume and complexity of business we experience. So we're encouraging as many of our customers as possible to use payapl to give it a running shot. Give us a hand!

(Applies to actual money paid toward the merchandise total of an order placed between 9/20/05 12:00 pm EST and 9/30/05 11:59 am EST only. Not applicable to gift certificate totals, discounts, etc. Not combineable with any other offer. Subject to discontinuation without notice.)

Where is such and such product I saw on your site a week ago?
As is always happening in business, it seems, we are restructuring our products and our site. To do this we've moved some items, temporarily removed some items, and even added some items. It will all be completed in 2-3 weeks, and when we're done we'll have a more organized and better put-together site, improving your shopping experience. Please bear with us for this short time. If there is something you absolutely must have in this time period, please email us with your special request and we'll see if there isn't anything we can do to accomodate you.

In the meantime, if you'd like to order a Preggers N' Proud Tee, you can order them from the designer's website at http://www.preggersnproud.com

As always, thank you for your understanding.

What are we doing for Katrina victims?

Making self-announcements about how a business is helping in the aftermath of the hurricane is almost trite at this point, and I didn't even want to comment. But my staff berated me until I finally do so now.

Beginning the day the flooding was apparent and the red cross began requesting donations, I vowed that a portion of every sale would go to help the victims of Katrina, until the city is dry and people are able to begin returning to their homes and rebuilding their lives. We'll be making weekly donations, and have in fact already made 1 at this point. I even attempted to become a breastmilk donor for the tiny babies that lost their mothers, but ironically I am not eligible as I the baby I am nursing is not under 12 months. (If you'd like to donate breastmilk to a local milk bank please visit www.hmbana.com for more information)

Not a marketing ploy, didn't send a special email to announce it, just love and shared agony pouring out from our hearts here at Eva Lillian...

Holiday Hours and Shipping Schedule

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Due to the holiday, all orders placed after 8/31 will ship on 9/6 and 9/7 (on a first ordered-first shipped basis). Thank you for your understanding as our staff takes a little time to be with their families before the fall rush begins.
