Never? How freaky.
EDIT: Mini-update before I go to bed. Got an email from dA ( signed “Fella” ) saying this:
“This email is to inform you that your order has been received, but one or more of the products you ordered has not yet undergone quality inspection. You will receive another email when your order is ready to be processed.”
So for the next little while, the mug delivery times may be somewhat longer than dA advertised.

I am holding back my fanboy squeals as I am in class. Goddamn I want that Fan Pack and a shirt D:
Comment ID #72645
Yappy, good to know! What happens is that when you modify the design, DA have to approve it. I modified it a day ago to make the design look better on the mug (we ordered a sample so I could make sure it was centred, etc.)
I suppose we have to wait a little while for it to go through.
“I had to come out of the order screen and back in order to get dA to accept my address” — what does this mean, though? Is it a big problem? Is it just a glitch in the dA checkout process?
Also, I will note the postage. Let me know if you guys get any unusual postage figures from Spreadshirt or dA, I only checked their postage for a few countries.
So far we’ve had 6 fan pack sales, and two Paulo shirts. I appreciate it, everyone! We may need to order new keyring charms fast :-[ We only have like 15-20 of each!
The Store will go up tonight.

More shirts need to sell! The Lucy ones are awsome for the ladies, I’m sure once the store is widely known to be open, they will just be flying off the shelves with such an awsome design. I’m kinda surprised only one person other then me bought a shirt, I know a lot of people commented on the Turtle shirt.

I kinda want the turtle shirt, but lack of funds
I will buy the book for sure though.

I wouldn’t get anxious about sales. The store hasn’t been linked anywhere but here yet, and the forum is a very small proportion of our readers.
Comment ID #72726

Ooh, look at the pretty things. I have bought the fan pack.
Comment ID #72826
Wow. The Lucy-Shirt looks simply awesome. I mean, all items in the store are great, but the Lucy-Shirt… Just wow. I do have one little complaint though…
Why does the Lucy-Shirt have to be a girls-only-shirt? q.q
You see, I might be a man (despite many of my friends still debating if this is true, I can tell you, that it is), but I’d definitely buy this shirt, if it were available for a man of my size. Well, of course you could say now, that I could simply order the womens shirt and wear it nonetheless, however… Thats not that easily done, if you’re having my… proportions… :/
Well, to come to a point: Excellent items in the shop, and I hope that it will continue to grow, so we can rejoice over many many more items in the future. =)

@Souppy:
Regarding the dA address thing:
Short answer: It was a pain, but possibly a temporary bug. I rather doubt there’s much you can do if it sticks around other than change sites.
Long answer:When I went to order, the system realised I’d not previously given it an address, so below a one-item drop-down box ( “New address” ), it helpfully offered me a set of text boxes. Below the last such box (phone no., I think) was a button marked “Use this address”, and below that was a “submit order”-type button.
So I filled in the details, pressed “Use this address”, scoffed slightly at the lack of visual feedback to this, and pressed the submit button. Nothing. No Paypal page, no confirmation, no broadband traffic! So I tried several combinations of pushing/not pushing the button, selecting/not selecting “New address” from the drop-down box. Still, the submit button proceeded to do nothing when clicked.
So I went into my account space, found the “addresses” section, and found that it had (quite reasonably) created 2 instances of my address, one as delivery and one as billing. Looking for things to change, I deleted one and set the other as both my delivery AND billing address. Hopped back to the checkout, selected my address newly appearing in the drop-down, and submitted successfully.
< / Long Answer >
Other things:
Thanks for the note about the design change; that makes sense.
All of the text links to your store email on the Store page need “mailto:” prefixes - they all currently link to http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/store/ orders@bittersweetcandybowl.com
Despite all the dA fun, I only got confirmation for, and used Paypal on, a single mug. So you don’t need to worry about refunds and so forth. Thank goodness.

Copypasta-d from front page comments because I just now found this forum page.
I have a question re: the character charms. Is it possible to order 2 from one set and 2 from the other, but still receive the discount? If this sounds naive or stupid, please put me in my place nicely. ![]()

When we produce fleshlights for each character, they will be plush toy adaptable.

Hahahaha, I think now is not the time for gag gifts.
But I will await the day that BCB plushies arrive. x3

Plushies would be an insta-buy for me.

Four Pets and Abbey keyring charms left, and therefore, four fan packs left.
Just saying.
Comment ID #74344
And like that, they’re gone.

Wait, what? N-noooo…

Store’s going pretty good then, Soup-gun?
Comment ID #74348
D’aww. That’s too bad. I was gonna get a pack on the 26th
When are you guys restocking?
Comment ID #74349
Yeah! I’m kind of weirded out that the fan pack did so well. I guess people like the idea of a lot of stuff.
Edit: I’m gonna try to get more of the keyrings made but it takes about a month. I might make some kind of modified pack that excludes the keyring charms we’re running short on.
Comment ID #74354
Aww, I guess that’s what I get for being so damn indecisive when it comes to money.
Comment ID #74357
Next month it is then. That or I decide to wait for the (hopefully will be existing) Super Fan Pack which includes the book ![]()
Comment ID #74476
I’m going to wait until the book comes out to buy from the store. Failing that, I’ll just donate ~$20 before the new year.
Still, way to go Taysh and Soup-nugget!
Comment ID #75200
Uh, I don’t know if you’re in the middle of changing it, but the iPhone / iPod Touch version of the website looks a bit off. The text saying “Hey! The Store is now open! Take a look” is in the same band as the other page links, and in the same font; it leaves the last three words, plus Store, Gallery and Extras, pushed messily onto a new line.
Comment ID #75235
I came. I saw. The fan pack was sold out. ![]()
Comment ID #76076
We ran out of the little cords to attach to the charms. I had no idea that we’d need 120+ of these things in less than a week, and so some of the most recent fan pack purchasers are gonna get an unfortunate email tonight :-[
Also, Yappy, I did notice. I thought I fixed it, but hey. I need to make the header work properly on the iPhone 4, as well.

I’m struggling to resist the urge to say “I told you so”, in a rather Lily-ish fashion. ![]()
But I was pretty sure that you guys were more popular than you ever give yourselves credit for. Perhaps this rapid purchasing of plastic items will go some way towards proving this.

Caught up on store emails, and mailed out five more. If you placed an order, you should have an email! I hope it’s the good one about us shipping your stuff and not the bad one about you having to wait a while more. ![]()

If you are considering on expanding the store, I suggest making a poll or something to see what would be best. (Maybe even include the prices you would have to sell them at).
Comment ID #78948
plushies.
Comment ID #79059
Me again. Just been snooping over the Store page again and noticed that some of the purchase buttons (for the charms, candy, buttons and Fan Pack) appear to be set to the default cursor style. Since the cursor doesn’t change to the pointer ( ‘hand’ ) on mouseover, it’s not instantly obvious they are clickable. Especially true for the charms, where the buttons look a bit like decorative titles.
Comment ID #79076
Changed. They’re actually input buttons, which don’t attract “hand” pointer cursors, but you’re right that it feels inconsistent. Thanks.
Comment ID #79805
Just thought you’d like to know my keychains arrived safe and sound today!
They were mailed on Monday I think, so that was fast. They’re so adorable! Everyone buy some when more are made, srsly.
Comment ID #79833
My keychain arrived as well today. :3
Head back to the forum index.

“Mug — Cold and ceramic like Sandy’s heart”
As much as I want to buy everything from the store, I don’t want a cold ceramic mug with a cold ceramic heart. That, and I never drink hot drinks ;P
