Due to the large number of orders we’re receiving, we’re out of stock of the ladies size Planto Flex Gloves. Because of an article in Better Homes and Gardens, we have been overwhelmed with orders. We had no idea the gloves would be mentioned in BH&G, so we weren’t prepared and didn’t order a shipment from Germany the last time (we can only order 2 or 3 times a year). At this point, we are trying to get the gloves sent here quickly by Fedex. The freight charges will probably be very high bringing the product in this way, but we would rather serve our customers, even if it means no profit margin for us. If you want to purchase these gloves, you may go ahead and order them and we will send them out to you as soon as they come in. If you pay by credit card, your card won’t be charged until the gloves are shipped to you. If you pay by PayPal, we have no control over when you’re charged, but if something happens that we cannot get the gloves, you will be refunded. You, our customers, are important to us, and we will do anything it takes to make your experience with us a good one. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment below.
We have been able to get more of the Planto Flex Gloves to fill the huge amount of orders we have suddenly gotten due to a Better Homes & Gardens article (thanks, Betsy, for letting me know why we are getting so many orders). Yay!
Due to an unexpected surge of orders, the ladies’ size of the Flex Gloves are sold out. If anyone knows why we had a sudden explosion of orders of these gloves, let me know. We’re puzzled, but happy. 
After holding our prices on Mills Magic Rose Mix steady for several years, we are finally going to have to have an increase. Our last price increase was in January of 2007, which was four and a half years ago. We held our prices steady through many UPS shipping charge increases as well as increases in the materials that go into the production of Mills Magic Rose Mix. In doing an analysis on our costs, we’ve found that we have actually been losing money on some shipments, and we can’t continue to ship at a loss. I hope you, our loyal customers, understand this increase is necessary for us to be able to continue offering this product. We thank you for remaining loyal to the Mills brand and to Beaty Fertilizer.
On September 1, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time, the 20# bag of Mills Magic Rose Mix will go up to $27.99 per bag. The 5# will be $16.99, the 10# will be $22.99, and the 40# will be $62.99. We are currently working on a different type of container for the 5# and 10# sizes to make the price more comparable per lb. to the 20# bag. Because of the high cost of the current containers, we are going to also offer the 40# in a bag for $49.99. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment on this blog, or email at CathyLRandolph@aol.com.
We are going to keep an eye on the EasyFeed costs, but as of right now, we aren’t going to increase those prices. We will only make a change if we have to.
Remember – the prices of ALL of our products include shipping costs!
I was feeling pretty generous today, so when I drew for the winner of the Garden Kneelers, I decided to draw two winners instead of one! The winners are…drum roll please…Tami Sever and Nora Underwood!
Congratulations to both of these winners. Look for more email contests in the near future!
