Whew…so much to relay to everyone! Yesterday I spoke with our Claire Burke & Vitabath Sales Rep who has been rehired by the new Corporation. There is good news and bad news from the Factory:

Good News:
* Claire Burke & Vitabath are back in business!
* The new owner will have the warehouse resume shipments starting September 18th.
* More Vitabath is due to the warehouse the week of September 24th.
* More Claire Burke is due into the warehouse the week of October 8th.
* Christmas Memories and Oh Christmas Tree will start shipping to us by mid-October.
* Pomegranate Plum will become a new year-round scent sometime in 2008.

Bad News:
* ALL Pomegranate Plum and The Haunted Home have been CANCELLED for Fall. (UGGHH)
* The Warehouse is out of stock on Vitabath Gelee Gallons until late September.
* The Warehouse is out of stock on Claire Burke Original items until early October.

Please know that I have already placed bunches of new orders to replenish the Fresh Bet stock which has been severely depleted over the past 6 weeks. We are issuing credits to those customers who had pre-ordered Pomegranate Plum. These items have been “hidden” on our website and as soon as we know revised availability, they will be available for order.

As we receive confirmation that stock is enroute to us, you will start seeing more items available again on our website for order. Because our shopping cart charges your card when the order is placed, we have “hidden” many items that were out of stock. These items will be unhidden and available for order again very soon. In the meantime, you can certainly call us and the ladies can take your pre-orders by phone. This way your card will not be charged until the order is actually ready to ship.

We are incredibly disappointed that The Haunted Home will not be available this year. If the new management asks my opinion, I will request they make this scent available. I honestly thought these items would be in their warehouse, but apparently the financial problems prevented these items from being produced.

Currently we expect more Original Vapourri to arrive by 9/21. We have many backorders for Original Warmer Refills. We hope these will arrive by 10-12 so that we can ship all of your long-awaited orders right away. As always, if you have questions regarding your order, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Again, thanks so much for your continued patience as we all muddle through these factory-induced availability issues.
