That is a brilliant headline! Don’t your advertisers mind?? I did order something once through your store. It was for a Christmas present, and shipping was promised for mid-December. It turned out there was never any product, and the company was using the boingboing store as a sort of kickstarter so they could actually get their product made (it was a credit-card-sized camera stand for an iPhone), the December shipping date was totally bogus and they put it off at least twice in the new year before I asked for my money back. I got reimbursed right away and have no complaint with the boingboing store but I do endorse this headline as good advice.

Thanks. If you ever have trouble with the store Xeni, Mark and I respond to BB Store customer service requests furiously and follow up with our partners at Stack on every single one that we hear about.

Just a heads up that you can only use 1 coupon per purchase on Teleflora. So if you’re thinking of buying several (like I did) for a single purchase, it won’t work. Hoping I can get a refund now.

So… uh, purely out of curiousity, why is there a store? Who writes the headlines? Do they just send you copy, and you slap a headline on it, and everyone is happy?
I feel like the store, and who the fuck they are and why they are situated on BB they way they are is a huge, weird, incongruous mystery.
It helps pay our bills.
Stack writes all the copy and headlines. I frequently “edit” the headlines, sometimes I “edit” the body of the post.
We stopped trying to make everyone happy years ago. We are happy.
Mystery solved?

I bear no ill will toward the Boing Boing store, but for the sake of the gods, don’t do this. The interwebz are full of stories of flower-by-wire stories that went badly wrong. Find a florist near your mom and call them directly. (Be wary of Internet searches; scammers pretend to be local florists in every city.) You get to work directly with the florist, and they don’t get docked for the significant wire fee.
