The Ghoul List: Wait List Program
As the most avid spookster can tell you, Halloween is filled with delights & treats! But with them so too the bitter bite of tricks.
Much in the spirit of Halloween night, my shop drops and extremely limited availabilities can run amok with "tricks" that leave many enthusiastic trick or treaters without their most desired bounty, a handcrafted purse.
The Ghoul List is a wait list for the inevitable purchase of a bag, for those who don't mind being on standby for a spell. Be advised that patience is required; work is done entirely by myself and I like to take care of my clients during the collaborative stages, which can take some time. It can also take a while to produce as the sole artisan handcrafting each bag.
Due to overwhelming response, The Ghoul List will be temporarily paused of receiving new submissions until further notice. This doesn't affect those currently on the list-- I will be taking time to focus on TGL clients to shorten wait times that are currently very high.
Want to join? Here's some important guidelines:
-
There is no "join-up" cost: I will not email you requesting money before your spot is called on. All submissions to join will be documented onto my list, regardless if you receive a confirmation or not; all emails sent to me are archived and routinely organized. Please see 'Additional Etiquette' below for requesting spot related information.
-
By joining the list and staying on, you are committing to the eventual 'call on' email to begin the process of purchasing of one (1) handcrafted bag of your choosing from my Pumpkin Patch Gallery. When it is your time, you will receive an email with information and a link to proceed with the on boarding of our project.
-
You may decline the call on email for any reason, and before payment. You are under no obligation to purchase a bag. Any decline or exit from the list will be cross referenced with the information I have on file to ensure there is no fraudulent cancellations/declines. So please use the information you used at sign on to contact me with so the proceedings can begin.
-
If you cannot make the purchase at the call-on email, but you still wish to remain on the list, you will be allowed to bump your position in queue as next in line twice (2) before you are moved to the bottom. You may also use a bump to place yourself at the bottom of the list. When your name comes up again after you had already used two bumps, it will be the final chance before you are removed from the list.
-
Because of the specific nature of The Ghoul List program, a finished bag made for a participant/client is NOT eligible for returns, or exchanges. All Sales Final. If something is not to your liking, please reach out to see what can be done. Cancellations during the construction phase will result in a refund of any payments made AFTER the deposit, as the deposit is non-refundable. Please see my general shop Policies here.
- Payment is typically invoiced in two parts: the first one is a deposit that counts towards the final balance, and the subsequent invoice(s) include the remaining balance(s) including tax and shipping. Billing is done via Shopify Invoicing from The Kitschy Ghoul. If you would like to pay in installments, or you need more time to pay, please be sure to communicate this to me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
- There are no estimates on when a spot shall be called on due to the unpredictable nature of my workload on a given month. You will be emailed using the @address + name you signed up as.
- Failure to communicate at all for an unreasonable amount of time after you have been called on will result in forfeiting your position on The Ghoul List, and subsequent removal. You will receive reminders and warning emails before any action is taken. However, after the final notice, ability to rejoin under these circumstances will be at my discretion.
-
If you're wishing to join and are internationally located, please let me know which country in the contact form. Some things may need to be discussed including and importantly whether it is possible, cost, time and other hurdles permitting.
- There will be a yearly newsletter to all participants; once roughly in the beginning/middle of the year and once again at the end of the year. It serves as confirmation that you remain active and pending a call-on, so as long as you receive this newsletter you remain on The Ghoul List.
Additional Etiquette For Joining:
-
Please do not spam my email, if you need a reminder if you're still on the list, I will gladly check for you. However, I will not disclose where your spot lies in the list for a number of reasons, and estimates of when you may be pulled are too unpredictable to be of any use as I allow each and everyone of my clients the grace and time they require to complete their process and the bag.
- Abuse of the system will not be tolerated. Please be certain that you are joining to receive a bag yourself or as a gift, and that the recipient of a gift not already be on the list. I'd like to keep things fair for all my clients, some who have been waiting some years to receive their first bag.
- No fully custom-make requests; Only designs that are currently shown in my Pumpkin Patch Gallery collections are available to choose from. I am willing to accommodate most non pattern altering changes, but it highly depends on my material supply availability, I will not work outside of my current holdings (price will be affected).
