I've had a few of you guys who order with your smart phones telling me that you can't get past the first page when looking at the categories. Well through several communications with ecrater explaining this issue I finally got them to resolve it. They said just fixed it about 15 minutes ago, so you guys should be able to browse not only my store, but all of the ecrater stores on your smart phones easier now.

Don't forget that I close tonight at midnight for the month of July, and won't reopen until Sunday August 3rd.
Once it looks like I reopen in August I'll be doing this as my full time job. My regular job announced a few months ago that they were closing my department so that they can save .2% of the cost of the prescriptions they sell. (Those who know what company I'm talking about please don't post the name of it as part of the severance agreement requires a certain amount of nondisclosure about the situation) It took them from February through the end of April beginning of May to really figure out what all that was going to mean for the associates in our department. So even though they did offer us positions in other areas of the distribution center I got to thinking about what one of our former GMs used to say at the town hall meetings about how the distribution centers cost the company money, and that if the company could get the products to the stores w/o the DCs they would. So seeing as how they've found a way to get the RX stuff to the store w/o DC associates by having the company that supplied our DC with the RX products send them straight to the store, I got to thinking that IF I was a drug store company and wanted to cut costs in the supply chain where would I start, and what would I start with? The first thing I'd do is make sure my RX products were still going to be delivered to the stores. They've done that. Then I'd find a way to supply the stores w/ the front end, or main store products (shampoo, toothpaste, toys, sodas etc.), and that's easy enough to do, just have amazon, or some other logistics/ distribution company supply it. So as I was saying though they offered myself, and my wife, and the rest of the associates in our department jobs out in the rest of the DC I doubt that the DC is going to be open for more than a couple of more years anyway. So we're taking the severance package that they're offering us, and going all in on running my business. With more time to run the business I'll be offering new custom services, and running sales more often, and I have several other money making ideas that I plan on incorporating into the store. My biggest issues w/ this whole situation as of right now is that 1) I don't know exactly when mine, and my wife's last day will be at work, and 2) I have to find a way to have health insurance, partly due to "Obama care", and partly due to it being the responsible thing for a husband, and father to provide his family with. The second I think I can have covered with a part time job I've been looking into, and the first is looking like it'll be right around when I go on vacation next month. Which is why I said that this will probably be my full time job starting in August. Now I don't tell you guys this for sympathy orders, or anything like that. Business has been going really well thanks in no small part to the great customers, and contributors that I have working with me, and I have had allot of growth in sales especially over the last year, and a half, so just keep ordering like you have been, and keep spreading the word about how awesome my store is like you guys have been, and VCA will continue to grow, and be able to supply your customizing needs for years to come. |

Ok, so most of the orders for Sunday, and Monday just went out a little while ago when my shipping clerk stopped by. I had some parts in for about 4, or 5 orders, and the very last parts are in right now. So I'll have him send out those orders tomorrow when he stops by tomorrow, and I'll start sorting the orders for Tuesday through Thursday by color, and plastic type after I put the parts that are in now, and sort them in the morning for him to get them shipped out. Once the Tuesday through Thursday orders are sorted by type I'll print that out, and the invoices out, and get to work on them.

All orders through last Saturday have shipped, and I'm about 1/3 of the way through the orders from Sunday through Wednesday of this week.

Here's a link to the Halloween Spooktacular section, where I took 51 of the more Halloween specific items, and reduced the price by $1, so the $4 heads are now $3, if an item was $2 it's now $1 through the 25th of October. So get those Halloween custom part orders in so you won't be rushing around looking for the parts you need for that spooky, or kooky custom at the very last minute.

SPECIALS!!!!!!!!
So now you guys know what the daily specials are all about now that we've done one full week of them. Daily Specials are scheduled as follows for Monday through Saturday every week going forward: Monday Mighty Monday 1 free Super hero (AC, or MC) head of your choice free for every $20 you spend Tuesday Torso Tuesday Get a free torso for every $30 you spend Wednesday Weapons Wednesday Get a free weapon of your choice for every $20 you spend. Thursday 3XL Thursday Spend $30 or more and get 3 items $10 or less free Friday Freebie Friday Get 1 free head ($5, or less) for every $10 you spend Saturday Super Power Saturday Get 1 free super power attack accessory under $10 for every $30 you spend Sundays I reset the specials for the whole week. For instance last week was $25 increments for the mystery chests instead of the usual $50 levels. This week the mystery chests go back up to $50 levels. However I have allot of those baby dragon kits right now (seriously like 2 16oz Red Solo cups full), so this week all orders of $25 or more gets a free baby dragon kit (random colors). This is in addition to the other specials that are going on. Current ongoing specials: Mystery Chest (ongoing): One free mystery item at $50 increments (1 @ $50, 2 @ $100, 3 @ $150, 4 @ $200) before shipping. In these chests if you find a head, or item cast in gold coloring you get a free $20 order w/ free US shipping (international rates apply if the winner is outside the US). Just email me @ [email protected] (this will be changing in a few days to [email protected], that's going to be allot of work changing my email on all of those accounts I have on different sites, but we're saving about $700 p/y changing over to Xfinity) RvsB Challenge special (through 11-30-14): One free weapon, or tool when you spend $30 or more before shipping, and mention the RvsB challenge in the notes. You just need to put the name of the weapon, or tool you want next to the mentioning of the RvsB challenge Halloween Spooktacular (through 10-25-14): All Halloween related items have been reduced by $1, and moved to the Halloween Spooktacular section Free figure kit assembly at $100 (ongoing) Also free figure kit assembly for orders of $100 increments when you buy a figure kit. So if you get 2 figure kits as part of a $200 order then you get assembly on them for free. This is good for any figure kit (suited figures, build a figures, fur ball kit, and any future figure kits) |

Hey guys don't forget today is Freebie Friday so you get an extra head w/ every $10 you spend. Also don't forget about the other continuous specials going on. At $30 if you mention the RvsB challenge you get a free weapon or tool, at $50 increments you get a mystery chest w/ a possibility of getting a gold color cast head or item worth a $20 free order, and as I said Sunday you get a free head of your choice at $50. So at $50 you get 6 free heads of your choice, a mystery chest, and a free weapon or tool of your choice in addition to the $50 worth of items you order. So at $4 a head, up to $10 for the weapon, and the mystery item is usually a head so that's another $4 you get about $38 worth of stuff for free when you spend $50 w/ a possibility of getting a gold cast item in the chest for another $20. So if you get that then for $50 you're getting $58 worth of stuff for free. Not a bad deal huh?
