Howdy y'all 😊

I just placed my first order with MSQC today. A couple of hours later I received a shipping confirmation from them. I have to say that it was absolutely hilarious! I don't know if it's OK to copy and paste it here, so I'll wait for advice on that to let me know if I can or not. I'm not sure if they send the same confirmation to everyone, but it was worth my order just to read it! 😂😂😂

Their shipping confirmations are a hoot! Did they have a parade to sent your order off!

Yes, it made my day, too ... though at the time, there were delays, so it wasn't until maybe a week or so later that I got my happy little email about all the special treatments being given to my quilting supplies.

No, I had a queen on a Pegasus, woodland creatures, fairies, and a wizard! LOL!

I love shopping at MSQC...not only for what I purchase but also for the neat notes I get back from them...like the shipping, etc.

GrammieJan

Yes, they send all orders like this! I agree, fun to read.

DH got me two MSQC GC's for Mother's Day and I laughed out loud when I read the 'Greetings' that came with the email. They sure do make a lasting impression.

Jane, here is what I got from them:


"Thanks for your order at the Missouri Star Quilt Company!

In the magical kingdom of Missouri Star Quilt Co, a special delivery is about to take place. There have been rumors of a chosen quilter who would make an order so grand, so magnificent, that the entire realm would gather in celebration! That time has finally come! That quilter is you.

The clouds have parted and the sun is shining down in a glorious beam of light on your order. It glints and sparkles like a precious stone in the hand of a trusted palace messenger who takes it straight to the queen.

He bows deeply and places the order in the white-gloved hand of Queen Stitchalot herself. She looks astonished. Has the time really come? Yes, it has, my queen. Then off we go!

The Queen hops lightly onto the back of a white-winged pegasus and rides it across a rainbow to the shipping department, where all your dreams will finally come true!

Playful woodland creatures fill this extraordinary package with their deft paws and the youngest fawn tucks in the packing slip with her velvety nose. The package is then sealed with the royal insignia and brought to the great hall where the celebration feast begins!

All day and into the night the banquet tables are continually supplied with the finest fruits of the land. Then the dancing commences! The room is a blur of gentlemen in tailcoats and ladies in full skirts. When the clock finally strikes midnight, three fairies arrive and place a charm of protection on the package with their exquisite golden wands.

Suddenly, with a loud crack and a poof of silvery smoke, a wizard appears. Twelve footmen in sky blue breeches escort the package over to him. He takes the gilded box under his cloak, raises his staff and disappears once more! He’s off on his quest to deliver your package! Before you know it, you’ll find it nestled on your doorstep, waiting for you to open it up and discover the treasures inside!

*Note the above is a slight dramatization of what actually happened with your order, but seriously we did ship it, and here is the tracking info"
