MeinkeToy for sale? Continued markdowns…
I am overwhelmed with so many kind words from everyone on our closing! I can’t possibly get back to each one of you individually, but please know I will miss you too!
I’ve also been advised to consider selling the business, as so many want to see it continue on with another fiber loving person. So, I am. Bear with me as this is all new to me, but if you’re interested in buying MeinkeToy Fiber Art Supplies, please CONTACT ME.
Markdowns on any existing merchandise are continuing, as promised, in our FINAL CLEARANCE.
MeinkeToy Fiber Art Supplies will be closing soon…
With both a heavy heart and excitement for the future I am announcing my retirement from MeinkeToy Fiber Art Supplies.
It is said that all good things must come to an end, and that rings true in fiber arts too. I am retiring from this business and will be closing in the near future. The reason is simple, I want to do something different from shipping art supplies out of my home. I’m not sure exactly what that is yet, but I’m sure to find out sooner or later. One thing I do know, I will miss my fabulous customers!
I’m sure there will be many questions, let me answer some in advance.
What will be your last day? I don’t know yet. I wanted to give some warning in case customers wanted to order things they may have a hard time finding after we close. As the closing day comes closer, I will post it.
Will you mark everything down? We’ll see how it goes. Most items are already marked down substantially in our FINAL CLEARANCE. I will be adding things to the clearance frequently, sometimes daily. Be aware that quantities are limited, there are no backorders.
Will you get any additional inventory in before you close? No, but like always, I have a few items that either got lost off the site or never got entered for some reason, and they may be entered as new items. If you want the really popular items like chiffon scarves, TissuTex, Evolon and the new heat distressables I would suggest not waiting too long to order.
Why not sell the business? I’m not into difficult bookkeeping and business valuations and can’t fathom doing all that. It makes my mind spin! I may consider selling the domain though.
How do I place orders? For now, the same as always. Use the shopping cart, pay with a credit card or PayPal. But we can no longer accept checks (we only had maybe two a year, lol). We do accept PopMoney also.
What about returns? As with all the going-out-of-business sales I’ve seen, we are now all sales final, no returns.
Polyester Tissue in our boxes (is not TissuTex)
If you receive your order and the box contains a white and/or black crumpled up strange tissue material, and you also ordered TissuTex, the crumpled up material is NOT the TissuTex. We’ve had several inquiries about this. TissuTex comes already folded from our supplier in a rectangle about 9″x12″. We put the TissuTex in a plastic bag (all weights together), and it is flat. The crumpled up tissue is left over from an experiment I did last year with various synthetic tissues. It’s actually sold as a synthetic gift wrap tissue (I got it at Nashville Wraps), so I’m using it as a packing material. many customers are using it in creative ways in their projects – that is fabulous! So I put it in the box when I can (depending on packaging and weight). Sometimes I will wrap several things together with a sheet of this material too (I would never do this with TissuTex, ouch!) Anyway, have fun with it!
