Everything turned out as well as it possibly could short of having them just send me a check for not giving them product. I talked to the head buyer first thing Thursday morning and she acknowledged that a mistake had been made on their end which resulted in the problem. I simultaniously told her how upset I was that the mistake had happened (not at them, upset that I wasn't able to give them my product for the holidays) and how I really did want to build a strong relationship with them. So she recommended I come up with a few ideas for Valentine's Day/Spring and send it to them. That's now my homework for the weekend to ship it out on Monday and see if I can secure a little early 2010 revenue. Granted, it will make my December much busier then originally anticipated as I'm guessing they'll want the stuff in their distribution centers by end of December and I'm away for 5 days for xmas, but without a whole lot of boutique wholesale orders to fill simultaniously I think it will be a little easier to manage. Besides, worse comes to worse I can just have my husband box up product while I'm away for xmas. Right honey?
Happy Friday to one and all - off to figure out the Thanksgiving menu and accompanying shopping list...
