If you shoot me an email at [email protected] I will let you know personally when they are up.

Just an update, the order went out last night. Just wanted to once again thank the OP who put this together, lovisintheair, and all you ladies who took part. Your business is always appreciated. And FYI for those who did not take part, if you are an organized person who wants to put together a group buy for pashminas shoot me an email, [email protected] and let me know. Once again, thank you all so much, Joseph

( I replied to your PM, but just for the benefit of anyone else who comes across this I'll answer here as well. Yes we definitely ship to canada for those brides not taking part in the group order. The website will take the orders or a canadian address, but the only issue some people have is the space in the middle of the postal code. I believe if you enter the postal code without the space you will be fine.

If you like the 029 (and ost people do, it is one of our more popular colors) go for that, 038 is an older color that i think is being phased out and replaced.

With the shipping to everyone it would be about 4.50 a person if you order on your own it would be about 4.80 a person. Let me know if you are still in. I am still trying to get us a better price. PM me and I will send my pay pay information. I don't know that the final price will be that high to the girls. I think it should work out a little better, plus you are only 24 pcs away from the 250-999 pc price, maybe if this is extended a few more days you will get there. Get in touch with me tomorrow with your address and we will figure out the shipping to you so we can get an accurate per piece price. I think between the discount and you using a cheaper form of shipping than I am able to provide (us post) it comes out to a nice savings, ESPECIALLY for the canadian and foreign girls. IF you can squeeze a few more pieces or extend this out a few more days, it would be like getting the shipping to you for free. We'll make it all work out

Hi ladies! Sorry , i don't actively monitor the board here, I have to find the bride before I can plan my wedding, lol! Anyway, me and the OP had been playing a little phone tag but we got it all sorted out and spoke to her a few moments ago. I passed on the discount deal info I gave the last group buy organizer. The last 2 group buys went super smoothly and as far as I had heard everyone was happy with what they got, I am sure this one will be the same. Thanks for your business, Joseph

Ok girls, I am going to assume everyone got their scarves and all is good, the colors are fine, etc. If not just let me know. Thank you all again, it was very much appreciated! Hopefully in a few months another poster here will want to do this all over again, we are 2 for 2 with no issues or problems as far as I know. Anyway, everyone have a great New Years and if there is anything they have questions or concerns about or find themselves having not ordered enough let me know, Joseph

For that price the quality is very impressive. Good luck with your orders...I hope you are as excited as I am about them. Thanks for the compliment! And thanks even more for the business! LOL with this site and the specialized lingo, I was scratching my head for 5 minutes trying to figure out what MOH was! Obviously I am nowhere near being married, I need to find and rope my future bride in, but once I do I will know where to point her to for info on getting married in Bermuda. Lol, yup I have my destination planned but no girl at this point, haha! Anyway, thanks again girls, if anyone has any questions or concerns regarding their order just lemme know! Joseph

What I tried to do was leave as many in the master sleeves with the color number stickers. The ones that aren't should be easy enough to figure out. I am sure you will be able to handle it girls, thank you all so much for your business again!

Ok girls just wanted to give you all a heads up. The order has been pulled and packed, I am just waiting for 3 more colors to come in that i am out of stock in. I am expecting them tomorrow. The shipping time from me to scubadiva is only 3 days so i am expecting to send this out tomorrow which means she will have them Friday. If any of you are in absolute need of your scarves very soon ( like less than 2 weeks from now) let me know. Also, just wanted to say thanks to all of you who took part and especially scubadiva who ran this. IT is very much appreciated! I am positively certain you will all love your scarves, but if any of you have any further questions just let me know, Joseph

Quote: Originally Posted by lexibride I thought the bright turquoise PA-034 was nice and the fucschia PA-019! I'll be getting one of those only because the bigger the bulk for one color the cheaper the price. I think the pa-034 is a great match for the wedding graphic in your sig, which i am guessing is your color for the wedding? It is also a really great shade! Also, I pulled a pa-019 and put them together and i like the combo, I'll try and get a pic of them together for you. Also, keep in mind you guys are all ordering together in bulk. I waived the per color discount model we normally use and instead made it a total order quantity, so if you order 24 of one color or 12 each of two colors it will be the same. That is of course, only if you order through this group buy. So feel free to go for both! Just as an aside to the ladies here, do any of the board members do cold weather destination weddings? I am thinking of rolling out a line of cute winter hats and hat/scarf combos that we have been testing in our retail channels and was wondering if there would be any interest here for that kind of thing. They would make a great inexpensive gift or favor for someone doing a ski weekend themed event or something like that.

Quote: Originally Posted by futuremrsgoodrich did you get it from this website? I am thinking of buying from them... Wholesale pashmina solid scarves wholesale pashmina scarves Yes, she bought them from that site, which is my site, lol. Just an fyi, our scarves are not any thinner than other pashminas, to the contrary we actually use a heavier weight fabric than virtually any of the pashmina manufacturers at any price. The fact is, genuine pashmina scarves (and our synthetic version ) are made from fine fabrics are not meant to be thick and heavy like traditional wool/cashmere scarves. I just wanted to point out that our scarves are in no way any thinner than any other pashminas out there, and that if ours is too thin for your needs, than a pashmina scarf is not going to be a good fit for your needs.

Quote: Originally Posted by futuremrsgoodrich I have to say that I am interested though after 2 days of thinking about it, I still cant decide on a color. Either black (our wedding is in Feb) or variety colors... what colors are you guys choosing? Most of the wedding/event orders we see are for 1-2 colors, usually coordinated with the wedding party colors. The one thing to keep in mind is if you offer a variety then invariably you will have a guest not get the color they want and no matter how old some people are just babies. Give everyone a simple choice between 1-2 colors and nobody is disappointed they didn't get the one they wanted and instead they are thrilled with the great quality, functional gift they got that they can use over and over again.

We are in the NYC metro area and it says you are in NJ, you will have it the next day.

Quote: Originally Posted by Scubadiva If your wedding is in Febuary you will get them before then! I have only recieved a handful of emails on orders ladies. Dont pass this up. Email me at [email protected] with how many of why style you want along with your mailing address. Thanks! And just to give everyone a heads up on shipment times. Once the deadline is reached and the order is submitted we process it pretty fast. Taking into account any possible backorder issues we should have the order out of our warehouse in 3-5 business days tops. If you have a wedding very close to the deadline just let Scubadiva know and we will make sure it makes it to you in time.

Quote: Originally Posted by SuzyQ76 Joseph, are you able to tell me the difference between the colors: PA-002 and PA-003? It may be just my pc but I can't really tell if there is a huge difference! Thanks a bunch, Scubadiva, I'm assuming there hasn't been a deadline set? I've kinda been MIA lately! PA-002 is white, and PA-003 is an off-white. Kind of cream, but still very close, especially if you are not looking at it in sunlight.

Quote: Originally Posted by IMPPEARL Great thanks... I emailed you what I would like to have... 20 black, and 5 light blue, I sent it to you with the codes. The only thing being do you think I can get them b4 Christmas? I leave on the 3rd of Jan and it would stress me out to have to wait too long... Thanks SOOO much for organizing this!! With the current 11/30 deadline that would be no problem at all

Quote: Originally Posted by IMPPEARL If we order the 25, is there any way we can by bass the duty for those of us in Canada? If not it may still be better to have them shipped to you First. Quote: Originally Posted by Scubadiva If they ship to me yes cause I would ship them to you as a "gift". That should work. Yup, that would be best

Quote: Originally Posted by Scubadiva Alright here is the email I recieved. So the more we order the better. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. I will offer you the discount we give for mixed assortments, but will let you specify the colors and quantites for each. I will also start you guys off at the first discount level of 3.75, which normally takes 100 pcs to reach. Here is the breakdown normal wholesale price for 1-99 = 3.95 0-249 = 3.75 250-499 = 3.55 500-999 = 3.25 1000+ = 3.00 The prints are more. The normal wholesale price is 5.95 with 5.75, 5.00, and 4.75. What i will do to make it easier to keep track of for you is add up all the print and solid scarves you order together to get one amount for discount purposes, and for any of the scarves that are print I will just add 1.25 which is a really good deal and better than the normal print quantity discount. Since no ones getting married in the next two months lets have a deadline of ordering and payments the end of November. That gives newbies and others time to see this thread! So payments and orders need to be emailed to me at [email protected]. At this time DO NOT send payments I will be setting up a paypal account just for this! I will update later with the paypal address and how much the order will be. NOTE: It will only take about a week to ship to me. If your order is over 25 I believe they can ship it directly to you. If your order is under 25 and you live in Canada I will have them ship items to me and than I will ship them to you. I will use flat rate boxes so shipping could be from $5-$10 a box depending on how many you order. Hi ladies. I am the owner of the company this group buy is through. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks again for all of the business that has been sent our way. We are a family operation and truly appreciate it! I just wanted to give you all a heads up on the product, just to save time on questions you may have later... Our scarves are an acrylic blend. Most of my competitors (at prices higher and lower) generally use a viscose material. The acrylic fibers we use are far superior and offer a much better soft and luxurious "pashmina feel" while also having better colorfastness (meaning they hold their color better after long term use and washing) resistance to pilling (the fuzzies you get on fabric after it is washed) and it is much better for the environment. The heavier weight fabric we use is not noticable in pictures, but is definitely noticeble when felt and helps the scarf hold its shape and not snag like most of the cheap scarves on the web. Actually fabric weight is one of the sneaky ways a lot of factories use to cut costs. You can see a little more info about the acrylic fiber we use and the viscose used by a lot of competitors here: Acrylic fiber (what we use) Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia viscose (what lesser quality alternatives use) Viscose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Don't want to get too spammy here so I will cut it at that, if there are any further questions just post them here Patti, just a heads up, your extra scarf was sent out the other day. And as for the other poster who mentioned the site being down, it was down the other day for an hour or so. We have seen a huge uptick in our traffic the last few days as the season has changed and with a lot of our newer customers hitting the site for reorders. But we were back up in short order after swapping out the mouse in the wheel inside my server, so all is running smoothly again! Thanks again and take care, Joseph PS, if any of you feel that you will be needing the scarves sooner than the expiration of the order, just email the girl running this group buy with what you want and when you need to have it by and I promise we will sort something out to take care of you.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jacilynda Hi hun! I'm PMing you right now! I need to check your address cause I received them back today! Melette I sent you a message earlier about what was going on there. Joseph is sending me a tracking number today for you! Melette should have received her tracking number this afternoon in an automated email. Actually she should have gotten like 3-5 automated emails as the order was processed and shipped today, this new system we are now using is very good at that and maybe a little email crazy! At this point I am sure that any of the packages we were sending out directly have gone out and all have been received except Melette's and that one is in UPS's hands now for a few days to get cross country. If this is not the case please let me know here or at [email protected]. Also, you all were using our old site, wholesale handbags designer style handbags evening handbags discount handbags purses jewelry and scarves, please now use our new site dedicated to pashminas, www.wholesalepashminascarves.com, which has much better pics for color representation and a much better shopping cart and ordering experience. Once again, thanks to all of you, we really really appreciate the business, Joseph

Hi girls, don't know if any of you took part in the pashmina group buy that one of the members here just recently ran, but if so, I am the person who was selling them, if not I am sure you can find the thread around here. Anyway, I am a local NYC boy and would love to offer a door prize of 1 dozen scarves of the winners choosing for her bridal party. Maybe some kind of raffle. Anyway, whoever is going to be in charge of this get together just pm me here or email me at [email protected] and we will work out the details. Joseph

Hi Girls, I am Joseph, the owner of the company you all did this group buy from. First of all, I would like to thank Jacilynda, I know she put in a lot of work between all of you and our sales group in getting the logistics of all this down. Second, I want to thank all of you for your business. Third, I am delighted you all loved the scarves. We are a small family operation that values a happy customer, and we really try to sell quality stuff at the best value. Normally we are a wholesaler and deal with retailers only, but obviously none of my customers are on here servicing any of you and I know with times being the way they are, everyone is looking to cut costs and I am sure all of you are going for big expenses already with your big days so I am happy to help out. I am sorry I didn't pop in here sooner, I had no idea this thread was going on, and being as I am still looking for my future bride, I don't spend a whole lot of time on bridal sites these days, lol! Just to give everyone a heads up, our normal site, handbagscentral, is closed for the off season, BUT, we launched a great new site for the scarves and that is open for business right now, www.wholesalepashminascarves.com. On there you will find the same great quality scarves, in all of our colors. Also, we have invested heavily in photography to really try to present the colors as best as possible. Of course if any of you have questions you can always email me at [email protected] and I am happy to help. Once again, thank you all for your business. Oh,and ps, for the canadian customers who dealt with usps, in our experience shipping orders for about 9 years, we realized that shipping usps international is a real crap shoot. Generally UPS gets things through customs much quicker, it is rare for a ups package to get held up very long, where as a usps package can get held up for weeks. Just something to think about when ordering something time sensitive.
