Wow. That's massively remarkable. Your service is very much appreciated!!!

And it looks like my dinged box is typical of BPAL but that the way it was packaged was not... I had a whole bunch of loose imps essentially dropped into some bubble wrap... no tape, no tight to the bottles, nothing.

And no packing slip, which I thought was really odd.

Not sure about the ordering direct thing anyway... between you and a friend who lives like 4 blocks away and has offered to me the opportunity to go rummaging through his HUGE imp collection (a friend of G's, who learned from her that I'm starting to enjoy BPAL), I really dont see the point of going to the actual crack maker list of way too much temptation!

(I've also been surprised to learn that I have like zero clue about what scents I like; an alarming percentage of what I smell gets packaged off to G as soon as I smell it in the bottle... yes, I know it can change with body chemistry but I don't have the patience or inclination... did that with one "I dunno.... maybe??" and smelled like furniture polish until I scrubbed it off (and it was still alarmingly tenancious)... thankfully she adores a couple -- including Golden Priapus, which I found myself smelling on her and very much regretting we don't have "that kind" of relationship...because OMG the aphrodisiac potential... it may be that I love amber-based stuff on others. I suspect a trip off to some place -- like Whole Paycheck Foods Market -- is in order so I can get a sense of what some base notes really smell like... )
