Feel free to ignore this, LJ friends! I wanted to have a post on my journal so I can keep all of my BPAL sales straight. :) Unless of course you are my LJ friend and into BPAL, in which case, please peruse!
---------------

WTF is a BPAL? - BPAL is short for Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs, a perfume oil company started a few years ago. It is run by a lovely husband and wife team, and has a hugely wide fan-base. It has scents inspired by everything from the periodic table to Alice In Wonderland, to an entire line of scents based on Neil Gaiman novels.

What is a BPTP? - The Black Phoenix Trading Post - a sister-site to BPAL. They sell socks, t-shirts, bath oils, room sprays, and other BPAL-scented goodies.

... imps? What are those? - An imp is a 1 mL sample of a BPAL perfume oil. It usually gets quite a few wears out of it. A "goblin squirt" is the imp version of a room spray.

 What is the difference between "GC" and "LE" imps you listed down there?  - A GC scent is a General Catalog one - it is always available, and is cheaper because it won't be going anywhere any time soon. An LE scent is Limited Edition - it was only around for a short amount of time. I have priced all the GCs at a flat, lower rate. LEs are priced based on their rarity/how long ago they retired, and both are priced lower if they are not as full.

So if that's an imp, how big is a bottle? - Bottles are 5 mL in size and get a lot of wears out of them. Sometimes I sell bottles with wandcaps - this means that the bottle has a glass rod hanging down inside the bottle, and you can use that rod to apply the perfume oil.

Why should I buy BPAL? - It's a unique fragrance experience, very different from your run-of-the-mill perfume. Once you smell or try BPAL blends, it's very hard to go back to the commercialized stuff!

Is that how you want me to split the order up, or is there another order you'd like it to be in? :) Pretty much just pay me for just the BPAL in your first payment, and we'll figure out how much shipping will run you on Friday when you shoot me the rest. My paypal is girlwiththebubblegun at gmail.com :)

Oh gosh, I should not try to write when I'm tired. I meant to say I'll go ahead and send 24 + 15 = 39 for the first three bottles listed, and will settle the rest on 9/23. =) Please let me know if there was something else I missed!

Hooray, it's Friday. 8D

If you wouldn't mind, could you let me know how much the rest would be with shipping?

Hooray! The decants are $19.50. Shipping for something as heavy as this package will end up would probably be safely around $3.50, if that's OK with you. So $23 should cover the rest. If you're OK with paypal fees, it's $24 even. :)

I wanted to apologize - you paid ages ago. :( I have been so very sick lately and haven't had time or the energy to get out of bed. :( But I am OK now, and am making up for it with loads of extras! I will ship it out first thing tomorrow. :) You ought to get a shipping notification from PayPal soon!

No problem - I absolutely understand that these things happen. :) I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! ...And actually (oh dear) did you just add Tattered Lace and Banshee Beat?

(I just got to try BB for the first time a little while ago and as I totally fell in love, have been keeping an eye out for it...)

Haha, I did. If you want them just let me know - they'll have to go out in a separate envelope but I have no problem sending them as well!

Hm, yeeesss...I will gladly take them off your hands too. <3 Could you let me know how much it'll be with the shipping when you get a chance? c:

Sadly I think my BPAL hiatus of a couple years has actually made the addiction worse. /blush blush

Haha! I feel you. $40 without fees, $41.50 with. :)

Well, I'm glad I don't sound too insane then. :9
