Looks like I missed something big...what's the story on The Shave Den branded products?

If you drop them into the cart, it gives you a list of shipping options. Prices vary depending on size of order and destination. We do ship internationally.

The creams and soaps are made by queen of blades, some of the guys here were able to test them some through their development, but honestly, I don't know which users we able to work with the finished product (you'd have to ask JoAnna that one). I've used the soap and cream, and find both of them to be a really great product.

The bay rum is made by ogallala. It's the same bay rum products they've always sold, but with our label, and a lower cost.

Good Going! The front page announcement link is not working though,

Good Going! The front page announcement link is not working though,

Have to agree with Rich ,Bobby check your Root forwarding of that url. its not working from the root home page source.

[sparky5693]

Re-fixed... I should have tested it one of those earlier times. Thanks guys.

[Smedley]

Do you ship colognes/aftershaves internationally? Canada Post will confiscate if they do a search on a shipment.

[PalmettoB]

Superb! Great job, Bobby, JoAnna and everybody.

(BTW, a link has been added to the Shave Shopping Index!)

I believe UPS ground will deliver alcohol based products. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Cheers to you guys !

I am so glad I didnt pull the trigger on that BayRum package last week on SMF :D


OUTSTANDING JOB !!!!

[sparky5693]

Just to let you know, we're doing our best to keep the inventory current. All of our products are "in hand" and ready to ship.

Me not know. Me dumb consumer.

The only place I've seen post a clear shipping statement on colognes to Canada says they use DHS ground. Looking through the UPS website for answers tells me they need a new person to organize information for their website.

So..i have to know....how are things going..is the store making some hits?

We have had a good start so far. I am busy making soaps and creams.

A little surprised the Floid is still around though. Our stock of Floid is actually "in hand", and ready to ship.

Thank you to everyone who has placed orders!

[IsaacRN]

Wonder if we should kinda cross promote on the other boards on that.

I don't think most of us would be comfortable doing that. :o

[IsaacRN]

Thats what i figured.....and thought i would ask opinions here first :P

[Queen of Blades]

Thats what i figured.....and thought i would ask opinions here first :P

Personally, I don't have a problem with my soaps and creams being discussed at the other forums. Like if someone posts their SoS, including the use of my products, at the other forums, and then someone else asks where they got it. I think that it's fine to direct them to the store then. Since those products are truly exclusive of TSD's store.

But to purposely go over there and say, "Hey, TSD has such and such, Go buy it". That isn't so good.

Hope that makes sense. :o

[IsaacRN]

Definately....its kinda low class...to do that...i was discussing more of what you were talking about...or .....for people that are looking for floid to send them over here...i didnt mean to offend or sound ignorant...but i think we are all on the same page anyway.

Anyone can buy from the store. I thought it would be a fun way to help cover server costs. If there is someone from another forum that would like to shop here, they are more than welcome, but for myself, or any of the other mods to go there and JUST advertise our store, would be in poor class. I'd imagine soon enough they'll know about us.

You share the same thoughts I have.

What? NO mama bear soaps? I thought she started The Shave Den.

I see, I see. But 56$ shipping cost for three tuns of SS is quite expensive, isn't it? Is it possible to make an option to get the package via USPS?

[Baloosh]

Hey -- TraderJoe's SoS post this morning brings up an interesting question. He lists his cream used today as TSD Mint w/ extra added Menthol.

How does one go about scoring some of that customized cream? Can we request additional Menthol, etc. at the time of order, or is that something that needs to happen outside the "normal" boundaries of placing an online order?

Might help drive a bit more sales through the site, if we could customize (to a point) or do special request blends... again... provided that the requests are within reason.

Just wondering...

I'll let JoA handle this one.....but when I ordered my cream, I was asked if I wanted added menthol. Naturally the answer was 'YES'. The mint cream you have is out of the same batch that I got mine, FYI ;)

I also specifiied how potent I wanted my creams "scented"

You raise a good point, and since the stuff is hand made I'm sure it can be customized to your specs.

Awesome. That sample of the Mint cream is the bee's knees. Based on that, I'm gonna place me an order TODAY. WOOTWOOT HOLLA ::

That sounds like an error/glitch

Ground is OK but the freight and duty is horrible for the shipper.

Mama Bear soaps are purchased directly from her own commercial web site. She is a vendor/member on this forum as well as other forums.

[Queen of Blades]

Welcome to The Shave Den, joch!

Mama Bear has her own website. And sorry but no, Sue did not start TSD.

I see, I see. But 56$ shipping cost for three tuns of SS is quite expensive, isn't it? Is it possible to make an option to get the package via USPS?

USPS should be one of the option, Stefan. You should be getting UPS and USPS options.

That cream was not customized for Joe. That is how the Avalanche cream will be sold.

While I am willing to work with you guys on special requests. Please remember I am one person.

With a 3 yr old to take care of too.

A heavier menthol can be done, but man.... it's probably the strongest i've tried as it is.

I have to agree with Stefan here, I got a shipping cost of 66$ for 3 tubs of soap.. There has to be a cheaper option..

[qhsdoitall]

I have to agree with Stefan here, I got a shipping cost of 66$ for 3 tubs of soap.. There has to be a cheaper option..

The storefront I use use has a script that says if domestic, UPS and calculate right away, if foreign then USPS and calculate by hand and charge exact amount later. Does our storefront have something similar?

[Queen of Blades]

We'll let you guys know when it is fixed.

[sparky5693]

There was some messed up code.... I've got usps up for international. The prices run about 1/3 of ups. Keep me posted gentleman, but I think you'll like the options much better now.

For those that enjoy the technical :cool:

There was a problem with the usps v4 api shipping module, and it's interface with the cart. The format that v4 sends the charges back to the store with, was slightly different from v3... just so much that the cart kicked it out as erroneous. Made a couple changes, and bang, they're talkin and we have more international options.

Are the USPS rates to Canada based on shipment value, weight, or something else?

As for APIs..."Your DTD won't talk to my XSD!" "Well, who's fault is that?" "Yours!" "Nuh-uh!"*

*Slightly modified career experience conversation

Rates are based on weight, and size (size only if its a VERY large package).

Value, or number of items do not affect shipping cost (this goes for foreign and domestic). We take the exact shipping cost, and add one dollar to cover packaging materials.

Nerdy Talk: The API's are written by the United States Postal Service (which is why UPS still showed). Something about their last release was just different than how they handled it before, but I was able to adjust our software to get it back in line.

DTD to XSD... That's about exactly how it went. You ever notice in life how problems/mistakes are never anyones fault? :rolleyes:

Working on your order right now, Thomas. All lovely choices!

Hopefully they get to you faster than the last shipment I sent you. :o

Thank you for supporting TSD!

Wow, thats a great website..Holy smokes, I really want to try one of your soaps now LOL..I have to let my credit card cool off first, though.

[IsaacRN]

The Floid man....Get the Floid

[johnniegold]

I have 400 ml of Italian Floid and I am in on Stefan's group buy for 2 bottles of Spanish Floid. That's alot of Floid. Anymore Floid and they'll start calling me Pretty Boy Floid. Well, maybe not. :rolleyes:

[IsaacRN]

ROFL....im on stefans also....i got the Floid from TSD.and its in a nice cute bottle....next to my 400ml bottle :)

[PalmettoB]

Folks, I have some of the cedarwood and bergamot creams. DO NOT hesitate to order any variety of this stuff. I want to post a review, but as a moderator, I have held back for fear of seeming like a shameless huckster.

But the creams are the real deal. Very slick but you get a good cushion. I have used the original orange EO version I got (as a tester) with both a DE and a str8, and I am looking forward to trying the most recent batch I got with a str8.

Sure, if you purchase it will help TSD. But you will be glad you did. It is a quality product!
