Soapier's new pricing and shipping info, and news for our Canadian customers.

Hi Everyone,

Well, another year has come and gone, and we're so happy we're still in one piece!

To ensure that we're able to keep up with orders, make enough money to have a worthwhile business, and keep our customers happy, we've had to make some tough decisions in the last month.

In November, we found out that the soap base we use was going up in price, which directly affected our bottom line. Projections for next year were not looking too positive, so we had to do the one thing we've been fighting for the past year. We had to raise prices.

Starting today, soap slices are now $6.95. This goes for pretty much everything, across the board, including the shaving soaps, trollface, and soap slices.

We also had to get rid of quite a few of our soaps that were just not selling enough to justify spending money on large containers of fragrances and colors just for these specific soaps.

We realize some of your favorites might have been cut, and we're sorry if we upset some of you. The good news is, over the next six months, we'll be having closeout sales on the soaps we've discontinued, using up the colors and fragrances we have, and giving you all great deals on bars that you love so you can stock up. Every month we'll feature two discontinued soaps.

The good news out of all of this is, after doing some research, and working out a deal with Fedex, we are now offering one flat shipping rate on all domestic orders.

Each U.S. order will ship for $5.95. From 1 bar all the way up to however many you can carry, we now offer a fantastic shipping deal to everyone in the US. This will help our customers with the new pricing structure.

We are also opening up a Canadian distributorship, for our Canadian customers, in the very near future.

Thanks for reading and for being such great customers.
