Fun with Inventory

I just finished the last of the Autumnal Equinox and Samhain incense orders, pretty much running dry on each at this point so I removed them from the product catalog until next year. By the end of the weekend I hope to add multiple Winter Solstice/Yule and Imbolc incenses and by the end of the month hope to add Archangel incenses (Gabriel, Michael, Ariel & Raphael). There's about 40 classic formulary incenses I'd like to add altogether in the next 3 months, the plan at the moment is to add them in batches of 12 each month. Lots to do by the end of October.

This month's inventory went well, beginning with moving all the Triple Pillars ingredients into one cabinet and the remaining ones into another. Much easier now, as there's roughly 60 basic incense ingredients. Which makes me wonder at how low that number is. Something to think about going forward - using more exotic ingredients in the Unique Incense line.

At any given point, I try to keep at least one batch of prepared incense on hand and 4 oz minimum of each ingredient as finances allow. Priorities, sadly, must be made for now.

Update: The Firefox graphic/text problem has been fixed on the front page. If anyone has any issues viewing, please let me know!

Yikes! I wanted to order some of the Samhain incense from you. Glad to hear everything is going well, I better get over to your site for all the other wonderful things are gone.

I've got about an ounce and a half left. I'll put it back up for you. :)

Cool! I am trying to get an account set up and it keeps kicking me out. I want to order an ounce of Bridget, an once of Dragon's Breath and an ounce of Samhain... Please help :)

You're the third person reporting problems with the shopping cart. Go ahead and send me what you want to Orders@TriplePillars.com and your PayPal email account and I'll send you an invoice directly.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Okay, I have it set up, how do I add the Samhain incense since its not listed?

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Samhain is on the front page at the moment, and listed again under Seasonal - $5.00 per oz. Refresh your browser and give it another shot.

Mercury isn't suppose to go retrograde till tomorrow! Okay, I have it added to my shopping cart, but the link to PayPal is not working right, its gets me to PayPal, but not to your invoice *Grrrrr*

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmn...I see you as a customer in the database but I don't see you in PayPal. Give it another shot, I've got PayPal on the phone now.

[identity profile] jullia-starz.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, the order went through, but did not connect me with Paypal so I can pay you

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I just sent you an invoice directly from PayPal - let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you :)

Thank you for posting an update; I was thinking about ordering this weekend but can be patient until the Archangel incenses are up! :D

We'll be adding additional Archangels, as well. As many as I can find classic formulas for and possibly a few unique ones, as well.

If you ever want help making incense, I'd love to come up and help. I've made some before, but I'm really a novice and would love to learn more.
I could also bring my essential oils and we could make some oils and unguents...just for fun. :)I'm good at those. And I know how to make good bath bombs!

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Always - probably the best way to learn is when I'm making huge batches!

I've got two huge shipments of supplies coming in next week - what's the weekend of the 19th look like for you?

This month? It's my only free weekend this month. I may have to spend part of it on homework/work catch up, but maybe I could squeeze in a trip up north...

As always, I work noon to 4:30pm Sunday but other than that - its your weekend, toots! See if Kiya is available and we can make it an all girl weekend!

*WEG*

Her bath bombs are FANTASTIC.

Hi hon,
I haven't received a new invoice yet? Did my spam control swallow it?

[identity profile] tryst-inn.livejournal.com 2007-10-12 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, must have. I'll re-send via PayPal - hopefully it doesn't eat those!

[identity profile] evaelisabeth.livejournal.com 2007-10-13 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Go ahead, I will look for it.

*peers at box of incense*

I was wondering when it would be convenient for you to send a little something for the jars I shipped. I'd be happy to order something as well. *hugs*

Hoping to get to the post office this afternoon. Definitely some wonderful stuff headed your way. :)
