Mardi Gras season is upon us, the stores where I live are filling up with beads and King Cakes, and people are planning their trips to New Orleans or other Mardi Gras cities for the celebrations in mid-February.
Although the parties are getting under way and will only get more festive, check here for more information about Gay Mardi Gras in New Orleans culminating February 12 through February 16. And then there are those lucky ones who will be in Sydney for their famous parade February 27 along with all the other festivities.

Whether or not you can actually attend one of the big Mardi Gras celebrations, you can still have a “good time” wherever you are with ‘BONTEMPS’ coupon: Get fifteen percent off your order when you spend at least twenty-five dollars or more.

How to get the savings? Place your order as usual with GayHankies.com. When you reach the checkout page, use the coupon code ‘BONTEMPS” 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’ ‘YEAREND2009′ then click on “Redeem”. You’ll see your savings on the next page.

You can use this coupon only once, and it expires February 28, 2010. Don’t forget to share it with your friends. With FREE SHIPPING always available on every order, it’s a great deal!

Although I can’t travel this year due my partner’s poor health, I hope to celebrate Mardi Gras close to home in Galveston and at LUEY Weekend, Houston’s Mardi Gras after-party now in its 37th year. If y’all can make it down to the Houston area, come on down and join the fun, and thanks for your support.

How to get the savings? Shop as usual on this web site. When you reach the checkout page, use the coupon code ‘YEAREND2009? on the same page where you enter your credit card information.

Take Note:

Shipping in December usually takes longer than at other times of year.  All GayHankies.com orders are shipped via the U.S. Postal Service, either Priority Mail where applicable or ‘Super Saver,’ which refers to whatever is the least expensive USPS shipping method for your package.  Most of the time Priority Mail takes 2 to 3 days for delivery; First Class and Parcel Post can take longer.  Please be patient this time of year and allow a little extra time for your package to arrive.

Also be aware, I will not be shipping orders on December 24 through 27.

Thanks to all my friends and customers for your support this year, and here’s wishing you the best Holiday Season ever.

I’ll make it easy for you now through Halloween with a special price on Iron Horse Medium Bottles. These are usually $9.99, but I’ve just put them on sale for 2 for 15.98.

Single bottles are $9.99; sale price ends 10/31/2009.

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!

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.

Even if you’ve already used this coupon code, you can use it again now or share it with your friends — but don’t wait too long! The coupon expires August 31, 2009. Combined with fast, discrete FREE SHIPPING available on every order, including your favorite poppers at competitive prices, that’s a great deal!

If you’re wondering what to shop for, how about Jungle Juice Black Label, $19.95 for a big 30ml, imported from the UK. Add in a bottle of Jungle Juice Platinum at $16.95 and a bottle of Rush at $7.99, and — with the ‘PRIDE40′ coupon — you can get 20% off. You’ll save so much that it’s like getting the bottle of Rush for free!

When you reach the checkout page, use the coupon code ‘PRIDE40‘ on the same page where you enter your credit card information.

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!
