A Long Overdue Update about WholesaleQuiltbattings and our Sister Company

Previously it was announced that there was to be a merger between WholesaleQuiltBatting.com and it's sister ecommerce Company, WholesaleQuiltBatting.com.  After extensive discussions, review of financials and the desires for the directions of each company, it was determined that a merger would be counter-productive to both businesses and would not accomplish the desired result each business was seeking.

Therefore, what has occurred is more akin to a collaboration between the two businesses regarding the Quilt Batting products to provide clients with the best access to Quilt Battings.  

One distinct difference exists between the businesses.  Customer's wishing to make purchases using PayPal will have to do so through WholesaleQuiltBatting.com since WholesaleQuiltBattingS.com does not accept PayPal payments at this time.

We apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience this may cause.  Customers seeking the status of an order placed through WholesaleQuiltBatting.com making the payment for their Order through PayPal should send their inquiries to: Sales @ WholesaleQuiltBatting.com

Customers desiring the status of an order placed through WholesaleQuiltBatting.com should login to their account using the logon and password you used to setup your account and select the status link.  Otherwise, a support ticket should be placed from your account requesting an update on your order.

Thank you for your understanding as we try to determine the best way to serve our customers.

Shipping Technology and WholesaleQuiltBattings Bump Heads Delaying Customer Orders!

Well there was the quilt batting.  It was sitting there calling out to me . . "Deliver Me" . . . "Deliver Me"!  It had been making such an urging since the shipment arrived just the other afternoon and was catalogued and allocated to orders to fulfill the next day.

So, wanting to do the WholesaleQuiltBattings.com Customers the right thing, I was up before the crack of dawn organizing the battings and fabrics that were in line to be shipped.  After my first cup of coffee my pace increased as all the pieces fell into place to get the orders out the door to our valued customers.

The packaging including wrapping and boxing of all the quilt battings and fabrics for the days pending orders were ready to go!  There were only two one more things to do, prepare the labels and deliver the fulfilled orders as quickly as possible to the various shippers to get them on their way to my customers.

Yet lady luck was not smiling for a dedicated merchant trying to satisfy his customers.  The first label for a 4 Yard Order of Warm and Natural Quilt Batting wouldn't print through our e-commerce system.  Our internet technology support was contacted only to find out that the problem had nothing to do with our system, but rather the FedEx postage server was down.

Though I was frustrated I was far from deterred.  I immediately logged on to FedEx.com with the company account, went to print my first label only to be advised by the man behind the FedEx.com Wizard behind the curtain that the system was "currently unavailable and to try again later."  

While I wanted to take the time to call FedEx and tell them how pleased I was that I couldn't use one of the world's largest shippers when customers are waiting for their products.  Yet quilt batting waits for no man, woman or child.

 I shifted gears and re-entered the ecommerce area of our webstore to use UPS as the shipper though in this case it would cost the company more money than projected for the free shipping budget.  Is it impossible?  The same scenario occurred.  I kid you not.  The production server for UPS was down both through my WholesaleQuiltBattings.com order fulfillment area in its back office AND when I logged on at UPS.com.  I received the identical information to "try the system again later."

Now, two options remained.  I go to each of the local carriers and purchase each individual label and ship the products with manual labels or I use USPS.com for the shipping.  Shipping on USPS.com strangely resulted in a loss on each of the orders that had been received.  It left me with no option but to go with the manual labels at the actual shipping centers but time was now running short on a Saturday to meet the last outgoing shipment for the day.  

One carrier needed to be selected.  I chose one and prepared the manual labels on the free FedEx Labels we have in stock and rushed to get them ready.  Just before leaving to go to the FedEx facility I called to ask them to hold the pickup 5 minutes if necessary because I was on my way after I loaded the customer orders for shipping.

The shipping clerk recognized my voice and asked me why I was coming in with manual labels so late.  I explained the predicament only to be informed that I could not use our company account rates if I was not going to be presenting shipments with manual labels.  I was a bit fit to be tied at that point.  I quickly gave the shipping clerk the dimensions and weights of the customer shipments and asked for the standard shipping rates as opposed to my company contractual rates.  The rates resulted in a company loss on each and every sale to be shipped.  It couldn't be done with the outstanding budgetary limits at standard rates.  

So ended the story.  FedEx and UPS Shipping technology and the contractual rates that go with the online accounts were worthless without the FedEx and UPS servers online and they were necessary to meet our Free Shipping limitations financially.  FedEx and UPS had literally stopped WholesaleQuiltBattings.com dead in its tracks from shipping its orders because both companies were simultaneously "offline" and our company account for ecommerce processing shipping could not be used at a physical facility.  A bad time to learn a hard lesson about FedEx.

So, with all of this said, WholesaleQuiltBattings.com is dedicated to delivering the highest level of security, and the most affordable products, with free shipping in a timely fashion.  Yet having exhausted all the options available today, orders that were ready to ship could not go anywhere thanks to outages for two major shippers' websites.

My apologies go out to all my quilt batting and fabrics customers who are waiting for their orders whose products are here and ready to go.  You order was delayed today for no other reason than that the two major shippers in the USA had shipping technology that decided to take the day off.  I wish I had control over that for you my dear customers, but I was left at their mercy.

Orders should be shipped Monday as it would be a huge loss to UPS and FedEx for their production servers to be "unavailable" or "offline" longer than Sunday evening.

My special thanks to all WholesaleQuiltBattings.com customers for their patience.

Warm and Natural Warm Tater Quilt Batting - A Great Quilt Wholesale Quilt Batting with Cautions!

There's no doubt that here at WholesaleQuiltBattings.com as the number one nationwide wholesale distributor of this great new product that we are thrilled with Warm Tater Warm and Natural Quilt Batting.

It is a new innovation in batting but it have been a little misrepresented here and there on the internet so we want to make sure it is clear to people.

Warm Tater is a 100% Cotton Quilt Batting as part of the Warm & Natural Line of Products produced by the Warm Company.  Per Carton it weights about 9 lbs including the box and 7 lbs. without the box.  It is a natural cotton batting.  However, it is NOT organic.  Organic products tend to be more expensive and more popular with consumers who endeavor to buy organic foods and then expand upon their food selections to clothing and other products.  

Warm Tater is not an organic product. Organic products are not treated or processed during their growing process with biological chemicals, pesticides, and artificial fertilizers.  This is not true of Warm Tater.  The cotton is grown using whatever processes are reasonably and commercially available.  However, during it's processing Warm Tater is not treated with any chemicals,  bonding agents, sealing agents, etc... which is considered a "Natural Process."  

The difference is between the growing process of the cotton and the means by which the Warm Company processes the cotton in order to create the Warm and Natural, Warm Tater Product. Therefore, chemicals and fertilizers may be used to protect and accelerate the growth of the cotton used in Warm Tater rendering the cotton "inorganic" yet the Warm Company does not use sealants, bonding agents, glues or other chemicals in the actual creation of the Warm Tater product, and therefore it is a natural product due to it's creation process.  Most batting companies do not use natural processes, which is perfectly acceptable but naturally produces battings that are meant for different purposes, are more dense and are unsuitable for certain uses.

There is no doubt that Warm Tater is nothing short of a great batting.  It is dense and 100% Cotton.  It results from a Natural Process developed by Warm and Natural.  Yet it does have it's cautions for users.

First, since Warm Tater is such a thick batting, it is best to have an industrial machine when working with it, be it a serger, sewing machine, quilting machine, embroidery machine or other type of machine you might endeavor to use it with.  It does take some power in your machine to work with this batting, especially depending upon the use you plan to put it to.

Second,  when cutting Warm Tater even the best rotary cutter with a new blade with require either a second pass or that you use some good old fashioned elbow grease (and increased safety) when doing so in order to cut it.

If you are using an electric cutter to cut Warm Tater, it is best to restrict your cutting to 1 or 2 layers maximum even if your cutter can cut up to four (4) inches of fabric.  Many rotary cutters have a guide on them that is stationary and sweeps the blade of debris and fabric particles in order to keep the blade running efficiently.  It is extremely important to realize that because Warm Tater uses no glues, etc.... in its natural process, that it has a tendency to release more fiber and/or fabric particles than typical batting.  These particles can accumulate under the guide of electric cutters, particularly high speed electric rotary cutters.  This can occur quickly and therefore your cutter guide should be checked and cleaned often when cutting this batting.  A buildup of  these fiber particles from the batting and fabrics can cause new cuttings to snag and result in your hand or finger being pulled into the cutting path causing serious injuries.

This particular article is written directly from experience with Warm Tater which caused my wife to lose the top 1/3rd of her finger due to just such a snag.  Trust me, it is a painful result you do not want so cutting your Warm Tater batting should be done with extreme caution.  This injury has now resulted in cutting Warm Tater by scissors as a matter of safety.

 Warm Tater Quilt Batting from the Warm Company is already known for making potato bags when used in combination with the Warm Company's Insul-Bright product and the current special on The Warm Company's Warm Tater is a tremendous benefit to quilting groups and guilds who are able to purchase at this time before the price increase.  

The Warm Company actually provides instructions on how to create this bag with each order yet there are so many uses that we are developing on the side that a new site will be emerging soon to show you the possibilities which extend beyond most modern battings.

You won't find Warm Tater in any major stores at this time but we plan to expand upon the amount in stock due to the tremendous demand.  The price will be increasing sometime in the first two (2) weeks of November of 2010 so if you want at great batting at a great price with free shipping, now is the time to order at least a carton at WholesalequiltBattings.com before the price goes up.

A Fantastic New Batting from the Nation's Number One wholesaler and possibly number one users of this dynamic new batting.  If we don't like it, we don't sell it or recomend it.

Hurry and get your Warm Tater Now before the price goes up substantially!

WholesaleQuiltBattings.com - A Merger with WholesaleQuiltBatting.com but Who is the New Owner?

My thanks to Theresa who's question on the owner of WholesaleQuiltBattings.com prompted today's posting to keep customers and the general public informed about the merger with WholesaleQuiltBattings.com

Without getting technical, I (Cindy's Husband Christopher) had established WholesaleQuiltBattings.com which was originally going to be a sister company to WholesaleQuiltBatting.com, my wife Cindy's company.

For those who have been my wife's clients as far back as when Cindy was known as "The Modern Mom" at TheModernMom.com and then her progression to WholesaleQuiltBatting.com for which she became known as "The Modern Mom offering Wholesale Quilt Batting and Fabrics." 

Cindy has owned and operated the business from the ground floor up exclusively on the internet for about six years or so with her share of major setbacks and business trials and tribulations.

However, when there have been a number of setbacks over the years that weren't anticipated, mostly because my wife is so very good hearted that she never imagined being victimized by others.

Unfortunately, this last setback Cindy suffered when her hand was pulled into the high speed rotary cutter has been more severe due to the nerve damage in my wife's finger.

If you don't already know Theresa, I am a lawyer and have been acting pro bono as her company lawyer for years.  Certainly as any good husband would do, I am not about to see all that Cindy has built and struggled for go down the tubes.  Yet Cindy has had to focus on her injury and her rehabilitation.

To a great degree Cindy's business at WholesaleQuiltBatting.com will continue as a result of a merger of that company into WholesaleQuiltBattings.com with a new and innovative web presence.  

Cindy will be working with me for at least the next year as she teaches me the ins and outs of the quilting trade, its products, and acquainting me with the customer base she has built over the years.

My name is Christopher A. Pearsall.  I am a practicing divorce lawyer in Rhode Island and Rhode Island's First and Only Legal Divorce and Family Law Coach at RhodeIslandDivorceCoach.com and RIDivorceCoach.com.  I also have hundreds of writings on Rhode Island's Largest Divorce Information Blog at RhodeIslandDivorceTips.com to not only help with the Rhode Island Divorce Process but also to help people save their marriage.  So much for my blathering on about my own accomplishments.  Clearly this is new for me yet Cindy has me diving in head first and helping clients to the extent that I am able at my level of knowledge.  I process constant orders daily via our internet system, working with vendors and packaging and shipping your customer orders.  

To say that I am excited about this merger would be a gross understatement!!!  This great new adventure has such possibilities for helping people and giving back to not only the great customer relationships that Cindy has developed over the years but also to give back to the community.

Yet, I am no stranger to Cindy's business.  Initially was I instrumental in getting Cindy started in her business both legally and by virtue of my knowledge of website and SEO development through my own company, Pearsall Internet Technologies.  

I am very excited that Cindy will be teaching me about quilting, quilt batting and all the products and accessories that go into quilting and the other uses for quilt batting which I have learned are unlimited!!

I have already had the wonderful privilege of speaking with so many quilting and non-quilting customers all over the United States who have migrated to the new company website for their orders at Cindy's recommendation that there just aren't enough hours in a day to put into this exciting new development.

I welcome your comments as a reader, your submitted articles to publicize the skills you use in your business so we can all learn and benefit from each other and I am certainly not above receiving or giving constructive criticism so we can all learn more in the processll.  Quilt Batting, Quilters, Sewing, Embroidery, Long Arm Quilting, Hand Stitching, Quilt Backing, Rotary Cutters and such are all new areas to me and your input is more welcome. 

A new website, new designs, new vendors, new processes and more are already in place to make WholesaleQuiltBattings.com a better and brighter company for you as the customer and for your company here.  Yet I have a long way to go and I think that you as Quilters and consumers of these products are critical to educate me and others by contributing to this blog.

I extend my personal invitation that you do so and that your write me directly at support@wholesalequiltbattings.com  You may be surprised at the direction I take in 2011 yet I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.  

It is shaping now and your input, your knowledge, your techniques, your creativity, and certainly your opinions are vital to my development of the new direction of this company and the quilting legacy you have to pass on to the next generation in this great new millennium.

My personal invitation goes out to you Theresa, and to all the readers who find this blog article site to help me shape WholesaleQuiltBattings.com for the better so that it will be the kind of online store that you want to shop at regularly because it has what you want and because you are treated right.

Besides trying to maintain Cindy's idea of "FREE SHIPPING", our Motto is new.  This motto came from one of my first website clients.  She was happy with me and thanked me profusely because we provided ''Old Fashioned Service with All This New Fangled Technology".  That, in a nut shell is it . . . "Providing Old Fashioned Customer Service using New Fangled Technology." While I know I can't be all things to all people, my goal is to be the very best in providing quality quilt battings, quilting supplies and accessories, backings and more for quilters and innovators who use quilting products.  I hope to be the ultimate quilter's resource store on the internet for information and for customer products in a safe, secure, friendly, and responsive environment that is productive for you.

You are the lifeblood of this business.  You are the lifeblood of the quilting trade to be carried on for our future generations.  My intention here?  You carry forward a legacy for our future . . . and I do not want to let you down.

Welcome to the New Millenium for Quilters!  A safe, secure, internet store with old fashioned customer service because I care about you and the future of this great legacy you are passing on.

WholesaleQuiltBattings.com : The Number One Quilt Batting Company has a Whole Sale Change in Ownership!

Okay, so the play on words in the blog article title here for WholesaleQuiltBattings.com didn't work as well as I would have hoped, but there are things to do and the customers come first.  After a few tries at a snappy posting title I had to use the best one I had come up with in a short period of time because the substance of the announcement is what is most important.

WholesaleQuiltBatting.com will become part of a new company, WholesaleQuiltBattings.com.  Though the change appears minor with merely an "s" added to the domain name, it is an entirely new and different company with an even greater focus on customer needs in the area of Quilt Batting and a changed product line.  Quilt Batting will be the company's main product with occasional offshoots into fabrics which can be purchased and shipped cost effectively so the "Free Shipping" mantra of WholesaleQuiltBatting.com and be maintained as long as possible in this economy.

Cynthia Pearsall will continue to be involved in the business for the foreseeable future.  We hope that you will check out the new website at WholesaleQuiltBattings.com as the old site of WholesaleQuiltBatting.com and its products steadily make their transition to the new quilt batting website.  More details of the transition will be announced as the transition continues.
