Coming Soon! 3rd Annual Triple Holiday Sale! :D

We're alive!

First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for being idle these past few weeks without so much as a word. My dad enrolled me in driving school a couple of days after we did CosMania '11, so I've been pretty much cruising by the Metro with my driving instructor, then catching up on some well-deserved sleep when I don't have a hands-on schedule or a session in the lecture room. That, and I'm just incurably lazy... but you already know that, right? *wink*wink*

Anyway, it's that time of the year again, and if you've been a past customer of us, then you need not guess.

★ Triple Holiday Sale!! ★

As usual, this is to honor post-Halloween's (Oct. 31), Christmas/New Year's (Dec.25/Jan.01) and Curls & Twirls' 3rd birthday (Jan.03)! Ain't it grand?

Mark your calendars, loves. Our annual sale will commence some time on Nov. 01, 2011, with our loyal newsletter subscribers informed of the exact time.

All available products in our catalog shall be sold for as low as 75% OFF, so stay tuned and brace yourselves for another exciting sale from the ever lovable Curls & Twirls! You won't regret it, honest! 

XOXO,

It's Back - 2nd Annual "Triple Holiday Sale!!!" on Nov.15!! :D

It's that time of the year again~~

Truth be told, we had every intention of doing the sale last Nov. 01, just like last year's event, but the meticulous preparations we've made for AME Track 10 and the new line of handmade products for next year have hindered us from working on anything else. Besides, it wouldn't make sense if we do the sale on Nov. 01 and be flooded by a sudden rush of orders, then join a fair on the 6th and be swallowed up by even more customers! We're not exactly masochists, you know. ;____;

So anyway, I hope you already know what this "Triple Holiday Sale!!!" is. If you've been browsing our shop since last year, chances are you have already read the explanation I've provided about it. If not, well, no worries; I'd be glad to define it again for everyone. ^__^

What's a Triple Holiday Sale!!! again?

Simply put, it's a GRAND sale honoring the celebration of Halloween our FIRST exhibitor gig, Christmas/End of the Year and Curls & Twirls' 2nd anniversary. Starting Nov. 15, 2010, ALL AVAILABLE ITEMS in our gallery shall be on sale for up to 75% OFF! This is not exactly what one calls a "Clearance Sale" though, as when Jan. 15, 2011 hits, all products that have been left unclaimed shall be sold on their original prices yet again.

And that's that. =]

You think I wasn't serious when I told you before that we rarely conduct sales? Why, I always *mean* every word that comes out of my mou-- hands (is that right? Because I'm typing and all? @__@"), no matter how stupid it may sound.

Again, that's on Nov. 15, 2010 (Monday), so start marking your calendars, loves! Along with this yearly event, we shall also be conducting a SAMPLE SALE, featuring the new products that we're planning to release next year as exclusive collections. Watch out for a special sneak peek! AND if time permits, a DESTASH SALE shall also take part, making this year's holiday sale a Triple TRIPLE Holiday Sale!!! 

TRIPLE the fun, TRIPLE the ooh's and aah's, TRIPLE the savings!!

Now, THAT's something you definitely should NOT miss! ^.~

Stay tuned for more updates!

XOXO,

Triple Holiday SALE!! Notes & Guidelines.

Hi, everyone!

People have been texting me since 12:00 AM, inquiring me about the exact time, but I couldn't answer them because even I don't know when it will be up! xD There are still a lot of things to do, after all. I've been working non-stop for 2 days just to finish the layouts, templates, promotional banners, check the inventory and such. Cring and my super pretty boyfriend, Une, were sweet enough to help by making the banner and album cover respectively, and I'm so grateful - not only did it save me a lot of time, but it also spared me from a plentiful amount of stress and worrying. And by the time I went to sleep at 2:00 AM today, I've accomplished most of what I've jotted down in my to-do list, leaving me with only 2 more things to work on before the sale can FINALLY begin.

Meticulous-much? I've always been guilty of that. It's like a curse, which I can't seem to get rid of and instead, begrudgingly embraces. Is it a crime to want things to be well-organized and be perfect by your standards? I seriously hope not! xD

Anyway, because I shall be the only one managing the sale for now, I've altered the payment, delivery and meet-up options a bit so it will be easier for me to monitor every transaction we'll be having. The following shall be effective today until the sale ends - that's from Nov. 01, 2009 up to Jan. 10, 2010:

MODES OF PAYMENT:
BDO Deposit
G-Cash (+1.0% surcharge)
PayPal (for international buyers only!)
Cash On Delivery

MODES OF DELIVERY:
Xend Express
Air21
2GO
FedEX (for international buyers only!)

CASH ON DELIVERY:
SM Southmall, Las Pinas
SM Center, Las Pinas
KFC, Times

* A fixed handling and transportation fee of 50 PhP shall be charged for meet-ups.
* Meet-ups will be with Une and are done every Sunday only.
* Standard COD rules still apply! Read them HERE.

For any questions, feel free to text me.

We only have a few hours left before the "Triple Holiday Sale!!!" is up, so please stay tuned!

XOXO,

The Sushi USB Referral Promo!!

Oh, wow! Isn't that nice?

The "Sushi USB Referral Promo" will be our very first gimmick for this new month! We're all very excited for thinking this up, so we hope you are too! :D

So what's it all about? We'll be blunt regarding this.

Any qualifying individual who reaches the referral quota shall be given one of the following gift packages:

• A Sushi USB Key Set (Ikura Sushi or Uzura Natto). Who wouldn't want such a rare goodie without paying anything for it?
• A Giant Snack Beach Bag - the ever-so-famous summer bags that will be restocked REAL soon! They tend to come and go REAL fast, but you're guaranteed to get one. Special treatment much? Click here to get a good look at them.
• 2 commissioned artworks from Gen and Cring. Their prices range from $10-$50 per artwork (about P450-P2,500), but (international) customers hire them for a good reason, as seen below. Gen's drawings are at the top and Cring's at the bottom. Click the thumbnails for a larger view.

Teaser Pics! Sushi USB's THIS SATURDAY!! ^^

Don't you dare miss this one~!

XOXO,

Sushi USB's In ONE WEEK'S TIME!! :D

Finally!! After months and months of anticipation...

The Sushi USB Sets will be up for sale NEXT Saturday!!

As I've ranted earlier on, the preparations have been a complete pain, and we almost gave up. Who would go through such great lengths for a limitedly offered, never-before-seen-in-the-Philippines Sushi USB anyway? But our fighting spirits have proven to be too strong, and we couldn't resist our unwavering drive. And so, after weeks of torturous labor, we worked our asses off, and finally pulled through!

Right now, we're so excited to put them on the market, but we still need to do the photoshoot and some other groundworks concerning the album layouts and packaging designs. Don't worry though; we won't keep you waiting any longer. We intend to finalize everything come August 22, 2009, so please look forward to it~! 

For now, let's discuss a bit more about these delightful USB's, shall we?

The Sushi USB drives were ordered internationally and will be offered much like the same way as the Juno Hamburger Phones. Quite limited in quantity, as there are only 2 designs available with 10 stocks each, these flash drives are manually made by very talented hands - they're NOT factory-produced, as believed by many. They were initially mere units with a capacity of 1.0 GB, which we thought wouldn't be enough to rouse the people's interest (despite them being a VERY unique USB already). And so, we made a plan - to sell them not as a simple unit, but as a USB set. Take a look at this journal entry to get our drift, will you?

A 2-in-1 treat. Isn't that nice? A rare and unique Sushi USB that you can also hang around your neck as a fab accessory! Each USB comes with a cute mini pen for every student's or employee's convenience (you DO need a handy pen, don't you?), a posh-looking string or lanyard, an incredibly cute and exclusively designed packaging (as seen in the picture above), and never-before-seen freebies! Great deals and promos await all twenty (20) prospective buyers and---oh, wait! >__<

I DID mention that these USB drives have not yet been released in the Philippines, right? THAT, I'm sure, is a REAL honor and privilege in itself.

How much for each USB? As mentioned in one of our past rants, we've made extra payments unexpectedly when claiming the packages. Please do not be alarmed, people. We won't be charging you too much to cover the expenses made for VAT. Rare, imported and limited goods are already pricey without the tax, after all.

So how much exactly? We can't give you an exact amount right now. We still intend to keep our promise that the USB's won't cost more than a thousand peso, but taking the actual value of the goods, the shipping fee, the packaging design and security, the excruciating  labor we've done in molding the caps from raw materials and redesigning each unit, and our efforts in getting a hold of said items into account, the price will range from 700 PhP-800 PhP. Quite pricey, yes, but the USB's will be sold in a SET, not at a simple unit. And they're RARE.

Don't you think that they cost too much that way? The exact Sushi USB drives that we are to offer you - HAND-MADE, not factory-manufactured and 1.0 GB in capacity - normally cost 65-80 USD online (we did our research), minus the shipping fee via EMS or USPS and the subsequent customs duties tax WITH the much hated VAT. Think again.

Do you have a warranty? No, we do not. Take note that the USB's that we will be offering to you soon have already been modified in appearance and usage, so if we send them back to our supplier for an exchange (shipping costs and customs expenses are to be shouldered by YOU), you shall only acquire the unit - no add-on accessories and such. Rest assured; we shall inspect every inch of the USB and even test it to see if it's working before we ship them out to your doorstep.

All questions (and even answers) were taken from the Hamburger Phone's FAQ section, but altered accordingly. This is because the phones and USB drives both seem to cover the same concerns to the buyers. ^^

Anyway, I hope the deal is good enough to attract our dear buyers. The Sushi USB's are certified cute, unique and in excellent condition!

Feel free to make inquiries if you have any more questions.

And once again, the Sushi USB Set (Ikura Sushi Edition and Uzura Natto Edition) will be up for sale next Saturday, August 22, 2009!!

Let's all mark our calendars now, shall we~?


XOXO,

♥ Curls & Twirls ♥
