My Decanting Policies
- I usually order within a few hours of an update going live, in short, as quickly as I possibly can, so add-ons to the initial order are not possible unless you've warned me in advance or catch me quickly! But, I may be willing to place a second follow up order if there's enough demand, so it's worth asking.
- I post updates regularly (when I get shipment notification, when I start decanting, and I note when each person's order has been shipped), so if you want to know how things are progressing, check this page to find out. I fill & ship orders in the order I received payment for them.
- I decant quickly and expect a 1-3 day turn around time once I receive the bottles, barring unforeseen events. I prepare as much possible in advance so I'm ready to go, because prioritise SPEED.
- There are no minimums or maximums with most of my circles - you can get as few or as many imps as you like, provided there's still space.
- Empty bottles are first-come, first-served, with no limit per person. I do my best to give people empties (with the oil in the bottle if they are getting decant(s)), but I cannot guarantee them. The one exception: those who get a full set of all scents have priority for empties.
- I try to include extras - usually tea, candy, and *always* a little pot of my own handmade all natural BPAL-scented body cream, scented uniquely for each circle. I also often frimp with perfume, too.
- I fill my decants as full as possible without spilling or leakage in warm areas/seasons, to above the stopper, and check each imp for leaks before shipping.
- I make flat-style labels taped on with clear packing tape, printed with the scent's name, notes, the date and my name as decanter.
- The imps vials a 1/5 dram, have an applicator wand and a cap without a pen clip.
- I use PilotVials decanting supplies and wrap very securely with bubble wrap & use bubble-padded mailers.
- I may use new or old mailers, as I do like to recycle - if you have a preference please state it.
- You don't need to let me know when you received your parcel, but it's always appreciated.
- DO let me know if you think your parcel has been lost or there are any problems with your decants; in case of decants gone wrong due to my error, lost mail, leaking or breakage I will replace or refund you order.
- Please pay within 24 hours, or, if you'd like to make non-pp or delayed payment (which I'm nearly always fine with!), let me know within that timeframe, otherwise I will give up your spot to anyone waiting.
- Since I'm pretty new to decanting, I deeply appreciate feedback on my decant circles, both informally via comments or email and
on LJ as well as
on bpal.org.
-Likewise, if you tell me where you'd like feedback I'd love to do so for any of you.
Circle Details
Shipping is $3 & includes DC within the US, and the same price to Canada. $3.50 shipped to Europe, and $4.00 shipped to Australia/Asia. In cases of bottle add-ons or large orders, I may ask for a little extra for shipping, but that rarely occurs. You can also combine shipping with decants from my
Bat's Day Decant Circle or purchases from
my sales page. My C2E2 & NW/IR/WB circles will be sent out long before the Lotus Moon bottles arrive, but I will combine the DarkDel decants with either one of those or the Bat's Day circle unless you specifically wish for them to be held to be sent later with your Lotus Moon decants.
I'll calculate pp fees and add them on when giving your your total (unless you wish to pay by
personal payment, know how, and tell me in your comment); however, I am open to other payment options beyond paypal, including swapping perfume and other things. If you do pay via pp, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD put your username & 'Lotus Moon DC" in the subject line of your pp payment, and your email address & what decant(s) you want in the body so that I can keep track of things!
This is a full, subscription-only circle that provides complete sets of full decants; I order one bottle of each scent. That is with the exception of the CTs (I have only ordered two bottles, one each of V7/Vanilla & v8/Tilt-a-Whirl, but I can order more if there is demand) and Banned in Boston, which are optional; I've save you spots but you may opt out. Please send payment to paleskinnednymph AT yahoo DOT com. The BPAL order was placed at 2:34 am EST on 5/26 and the Dark Delicacies order was placed at 1:56 pm EST on 5/29 & on 5/30 I received notification that the DD scents will ship on Tuesday, 6/1 so we can expect them in a few days. As a result, I will likely decant & ship the DD decants with an earlier circle, but I have combined it here with Lotus Moon for my organizational sanity.
Decanting-policy update: I can no longer accept gift payments as paypal sent me an email shortly after Panther Moon telling me I was being 'examined' for personal payment abuse. Sorry folks. :( I'm hoping to have a better payment system in place in the future, and FYI, checks/concealed cash are *always* acceptable, though I'd still like to do pp for the shipping portion as printing the prepaid labels makes that part of the circle so much easier.

Please note that I am now operating at normal functionality again so things shall be progressing much more quickly as they did in the past, and again my sincerest apologies for the last two months of delays. A huge THANK YOU to you all for your faith and trust in me, without which I couldn't still be decanting. <3
UPDATE 6/18: Finally, we have a CnS, as of 8:26 pm EST today. I have no idea why this order took so long to arrive considering it is one of the fastest orders I have ever placed, and was not particularly large. You can follow
the tracking here.
