On the weekend of October 10-11, thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C. for the National Equality March. This event seeks “Equal protection for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states. Now.”

I support the goals of the March, but it’s impossible for me to attend. I know that many of my friends and customers are in the same position. That’s why my new coupon ‘EQUAL’ is dedicated to raising money to donate to Equality Across America, sponsors of this effort.

When you spend at least $50 with GayHankies.com and use coupon code ‘EQUAL’ I’ll give you $10 back. And, I’ll also make a matching $10 donation to Equality Across America. If you also choose to make a donation, that’s great, and deeply appreciated, but you are not required to donate to take advantage of the coupon. *

When you reach the checkout page, use the coupon code ‘EQUAL’ on the same page where you enter your credit card information. Look for the section “Gift Vouchers / Discount Codes” just below the payment information. Enter the ‘Redeem Code’ ‘EQUAL’ then click on “Redeem”. You’ll see your savings on the next page.

Although this coupon is valid on only one order per customer, please feel free to share it with your friends. If you find that the coupon does not work on your order, check your order history to see if you used it on a previous order. Coupon expires October 11, 2009.

As always, you’ll get a great price and excellent customer service on your favorite poppers, including Rush, Amsterdam, Jungle Juice Platinum, and more. And don’t forget: Free Shipping is always available on every order!

I’ve got some good boys about to go bad, and the navy is leaving port, too. The prices are marked down to their lowest ever, so here’s your chance to catch them before they’re gone.

Boy Butter has been on Clearance for awhile now, and the remaining inventory is reaching its expiration date. If I don’t sell it, next month they’re off the website. My own Daddy slogan is “No bad boys,” so you can bet I’ll make them good enough for me. But this is your last chance to pick up these boys before they’re gone.

And if you’re looking for a sailor, my Swiss Navy lubes are almost gone, too — the Silicone ones are already sold out. I’m sure I can find a way to put the rest of them to good use, but maybe you’d like to grab them before they sail away.

Boy Butter 4-Ounce Tub was $7.49,  now $3.99
Boy Butter 5-Ounce EZ-Pump was $10.99, now $5.99
Boy Butter Water-Based: 5-Ounce EZ-Pump was $10.99, now $5.99
Swiss Navy Water-Based Lube  2 oz. was $6.50, now $3.49

All of these items are on Clearance, which means no backorders are possible.  It’s first cum, first served.

When I was a kid back in the 1960s, there was a Simon & Garfunkle song called “Keep The Customer Satisfied”.  Some of the lyrics are actually depressing, but part of the chorus popped into my mind today when I was handling a problem with a customer’s order:

Just trying to keep my customers satisfied,
Satisfied.

The problem, in this case, was that the customer had ordered several bottles of RUSH a few weeks back.  When he received them, he said, they didn’t smelll right, had an off color, and so on.  I hear about problems like this once in awhile, and when I do I try to work with the customer to come up with the right way to resolve the problem, keep him happy, and keep him coming.  You are important to me, because this business exists only because of you: “Just trying to keep my customers satisfied.”

A bigger problem, though, is that I’d heard from more than one customer in the last week or so about problems like this with their orders.  There were questions about whether I’d changed vendors, whether the product was genuine, and basically, “What happened?”

The answer, quite frankly, is I’m not sure.  I am using the same vendors I have for years, and in the case of RUSH and the other PWD brands, they are shipped to me directly from the Pac West Distributors warehouse.  (Yes, that’s what “PWD” stands for…)  It’s possible that there were some old bottles in one batch.  More likely, they may have become overheated, either in shipment from PWD in Indianapolis to me in Houston, or from me in Houston to my customers.

Regardless, I count on having a number of loyal and satisfied customers who keep coming back to shop with me again and again.  I don’t want to let you down, and whenever problems like this happen, I want to hear about it so that I can make it right.

The way to do that is to send me an email.  You can reply to your Order Confirmation email, or you can use the “Contact Us” form on the GayHankies.com web site.  Don’t look for a phone number.  That’s because there is no “us,” really, there’s only me, running a one-man business from home.  Using email instead of the phone is one of the things that allows me to manage my time and also do my consulting/programming work.  If I took questions or orders over the phone, I wouldn’t be able to get your orders shipped, the inventory restocked, or all my other work done.

When you send me an email, I’ll read it and reply as soon as I can.  That isn’t always as soon as I see it, but sometimes it is, even at night or odd times of day.  And sometimes it’s when I fit it in around my other responsibilities.  One thing you can count on is that I’ll get back to you, usually within the next day if not sooner.  And if you have a problem with your order, we’ll work out a solution.

“Keep the customer satisfied”  – Yes, SIR!

I just cut the price further on a couple of clearance items.  Check out the Buckle Collar, originally $57.99 now reduced to $19.99.  And don’t miss the Studded Buckle Collar, originally $64.99 now reduced to $20.99.  Quantities of these, as with all clearance items, are very limited.

Very limited: What does that mean?  There may only be one or two of any clearance item left in my inventory, and I’m not going to restock them.  You’ll see a note on the product page that says, “Backorders are not accepted for this item.”  If you don’t buy it when you see it, it might not be there when you come back to look at it later.

This happened the other day to a customer who wanted to buy a penis pump.  I was really sorry to disappoint him, and I really want to get all these clearance items off my hands.  Shop the clearance now to get your deal – but once these items are sold out, they’ll be gone.
