Now that's what I call service!!
 
Just got this email from Missouri Star. I'll be watching for that majestic horse-drawn carriage.

**********

Thanks for your order at the Missouri Star Quilt Company!

We just want to let you know that your quilting supplies have been meticulously gathered, placed on a red velvet pillow, and delicately escorted by 25 of our finest employees to our shipping department.

Our master shipper has dutifully performed his craft, lovingly packing your order in the finest materials known to man.

Our team gathered to give your package the proper send-off it deserved. Tears of joy were shed, speeches were given, and there was even a farewell cake. Following the festivities, the whole group, led by our local high school marching band playing the song Leaving on a Jet Plane, ushered your order through downtown Hamilton, Missouri. No, we don't own a Jet Plane, but your package was placed in the care of a roguishly handsome man who is riding in a majestic horse-drawn carriage which is on its way to your home as you read this.

Although the products you've ordered will be sorely missed here at MSQC, we are overjoyed that they have found a good home. Take care of them, treasure them, and when you make something beautiful with them, make sure you share it with us on facebook / twitter or just send us an email, we love to see what you make!.

With love,
The Missouri Star Quilt Company Team

Love it! So much better than the standard "your package has shipped". Someone at MSQC is very creative.

Thats a cool letter from a cool shop.

Teacup 04-18-2013 04:28 PM

Love it! Thanks for sharing it with us.

feline fanatic 04-18-2013 04:47 PM

Hmmm, don't ALL quiltshops ship like that? :D

trennag 04-18-2013 04:49 PM

I love their emails!! I also love reading the daily deal :D

Nammie to 7 04-18-2013 04:50 PM

That certainly makes a person feel special!

alikat110 04-18-2013 04:52 PM

Wow...that is a way to ensure customer satisfaction.

0tis 04-18-2013 05:33 PM

I love that - what a creative way to show how special the customer is - bravo to MSQC. Enjoy your new goodies.

quiltstringz 04-18-2013 05:36 PM

Whoa - what did you order. I didn't get that email when I ordered from them

MamaBear61 04-18-2013 05:40 PM

I love a company that puts an extra effort forward to not only achieve customer service but to actually brighten someone's day :-)

kathyd 04-18-2013 06:00 PM

Hey!!! I got one of these also. Can't wait for my special delivery! Always a fun day when a package of quilt stuff arrives. In fact I read the e-mail to DH so he could appreciate it as well. He is an enabler when it comes to my quilting and I love him for it. Jenny has the most interesting daily posts. Her daily deals are dangerous though!

Gannyrosie 04-18-2013 06:10 PM

You can see the "fun" they must have at that shop. It is so nice to deal with people who are, well, really people and not some organization that hires people just cause they have to work. I bet growing up in that family was a trip and probably someone kept everyone in stitches. Love that shop.

IrishNY 04-18-2013 08:40 PM

I just read it to my DH and told him it makes me want to order something so I receive the email too!

Jim 04-18-2013 11:00 PM

I love their notes. Always something different... I especially like it when it's a simple hand written "Thank You" which I have gotten most.

Caroline S 04-19-2013 06:15 AM

Hmmmm, perhaps I need to place an order from them. I want one of those Emails :p.

owlvamp 04-19-2013 06:17 AM

I ordered twice from them and I received that and a different one to.

quilterpurpledog 04-20-2013 04:24 AM

What a fun way of insuring a repeat customer. We all go to where the 'warm fuzzies' are!

tessagin 04-20-2013 04:25 AM

That's like the letter I received when they sent my Wacky Web template. They sent it "Priority Mail" which tickled me to pieces. Because of the holiday Easter Weekend. I still got it on the Tuesday following. Lovely little note with the package.

GammaLou 04-20-2013 04:27 AM

The more I read about this company, the more I like it!! Wish they all could be this way. ;)

Me too...both reading to DH and needing to order now........

It's great when someone goes that extra step to "make someone's day". Yesterday I had a lot of errands to run and was tired by the time I went by the bank drive-through to make a deposit. Not only was the girl in the window sweet and fast, but she offered me a "sucker"! I took it, and smiled all the way home!

Scakes 04-20-2013 04:38 AM

I placed an order with them several days ago and got that email too. I thought it was cute too.

BuzzinBumble 04-20-2013 04:48 AM

They have a great sense of humor!

sept97 04-20-2013 04:52 AM

I order alot from them. I get that all the time, it's cute

purplefiend 04-20-2013 05:11 AM

I just love how this company says by the way your package is on the way.

damaquilts 04-20-2013 05:16 AM

That gave me a giggle this morning. What a great way to say the package is shipped. :)

mjsylvstr 04-20-2013 05:37 AM

I think I will order from them just to get that note....lololol
I do hope that you will send them a pic on FB.......for all the rest of us to see also.

cpcarolyn 04-20-2013 06:03 AM

Wow. I love it.

sandypants 04-20-2013 06:04 AM

How cute is that!!!! To take the time to personalize your order is going the extra mile. Love it.

MaryAnnMc 04-20-2013 06:10 AM

Dang, I need to order from them just for the e-mail!

Quiltlady330 04-20-2013 06:23 AM

Never have used them but sounds like smart marketing to me. :)

anniesews 04-20-2013 06:31 AM

That is so neat! I do like MSQ people. Jenny is just a super show and tell lady.

Caswews 04-20-2013 06:37 AM

Very nice for sure !!

hahaha...me either so I was wondering the same thing, maybe they have to restock their warehouse...in that case she should get more than a letter!! lol

kyquiltlover1942 04-20-2013 07:12 AM

Although I have only ordered one time from them, i was pleased, prompt delivery everything. (swore off buying fabric this year, but neice is having twins.) I read their email every day. She always has an interesting view to share.

fangman 04-20-2013 07:23 AM

That is just delightful, and fun.

Chasing Hawk 04-20-2013 07:27 AM

Geez!!! what did you order? Last shipping confirmation I got was.....Your order has been shipped. Nothing as exotic as your was....LOL

feffertim 04-20-2013 08:08 AM

I love them.

EthelLou 04-20-2013 08:18 AM

I got that same message with my last order.
