20% OFF TEA CANISTERS ORDERED BY 30 APRIL

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -1000

Take 20% off the wholesale price of tea canisters when you pre-order them by the carton. Orders must be placed by 30 April, with delivery due mid to late July. A deposit must be paid when you place the order, with the balance due as per your usual trading terms.

Call Jennifer to check the carton quantity of your favourite canisters. 200g size are usually 96 per carton, 150g and 100g size are usually 120 per carton, and 40g size are 200 per carton. Some designs have different carton quantities, so please call to check first.

When ordering assorted washi paper canisters, as well as the usual choice of red/pink mix, or blue/green/purple/yellow mix, you can also order a carton of "full mix" with all the colours in one carton. We don't keep full mix in stock. This is only available when you pre-order a full carton of canisters.

REMEMBER - 20% OFF - order by 30 April - delivery late July.

Our next indent orders will be taken in late July for delivery late October (in time for Christmas!) so keep an eye out for that.

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 -1000

Make sure you get yourself down to Sydney Olympic Park for the Home & Giving Fair this month to see J Style - and all our gorgeous new things!

If you prefer to order things you've touched and played with in real life, please come and visit us! 25-28 Feb 2012, details and registration at www.homeandgiving.com.

CLOSED FOR NEW YEARS

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -1000

J Style will be closed until 9 January while we take a little break, make ourselves an extra strong cup of tea, and say "phew" to the end of the Retail Silly Season. From 9-16 January we will be here (or not?) depending on how the surf's looking, but from 16 January we are definitely back to work and all systems go to get stuck into 2012!

Please take full advantage of the website to browse & put in orders, email us, leave messages on our answering machine, or fax us. We will get back to you as soon as we get back to the real world and stop swimming and boogie boarding and fishing and going for long bikes rides and picnics and...

LAST ORDERS!

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -1000

Orders must be placed by 10am on the "last day" for your area. This will usually get your order to you by Christmas, but once it's in the hands of the couriers, it is out of our control whether or not it makes it by Christmas. Order early to be safe.

WA, TAS, NT, SA - 16/12/11

ACT, QLD, NSW country, VIC country - 19/12/11

Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong - 20/12/11

J Style will be closed from 23/12/11 to 16/1/12, so if you're in a busy summer area, make sure you stock up before we close.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

SAMPLE SELL OFF

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -1000

We're cleaning out the warehouse and selling off all the samples, spare parts and one-of-a-kind bits and pieces we've been hoarding for years. I'm SLOWLY getting them onto the website, but this time of year I'm rarely off the phone, so it's a late night project! Keep an eye on the new SAMPLES & ONE-OFFS menu for more new goodies every day.

One month 'til Christmas woo hoo!

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -1000

Can you believe there are barely 4 weeks until Santa arrives? Running a giftware business means we are really on the go this time of year, and that barely leaves me time to do all my own Christmas shopping. My Mum already owns all the teapots, cups, bowls, canisters, shopping bags, purses, glasses cases, toothbrushes and hair accessories she could possibly ever need, so I'm going to have to think of something else this year. At least I can wrap it in an awesome new Furoshiki Wrapping Cloth. But knowing Mum, rather than recycling it as a wrap for the next gift she gives, she'll be upcycling the beautiful fabrics into a quilt!

NEW STOCK IS HERE

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -1000

Ready for Christmas? We are! Stock has arrived and we are unpacking the container right now...in the rain...what fun! If you are waiting on an order, we will start shipping on 31 Oct, so you should be getting it early next week. If you missed something from your last order, I'll be emailing you soon to let you know the stock is available again if you want to order now. If you're not on a waiting list already, now is the time to send me your order. This is our last stock arrival for the year, so once this goes, if you miss out you'll have to wait until February. Don't say I didn't warn you!

DELIVERY DELAYS

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -1000

DELIVERY DELAYS EXPECTED as we deal with the absolutely ENORMOUS pile of orders taken at the Home & Giving Fair last week. We're back from Melbourne and packing ourselves silly, but even with the help of our new girl in the packing room, it's going to take some time. Please don't expect your orders delivered "next business day", at least for the next few weeks while we get through the fair backlog. Not that we are complaining of course! Busy is great for business!

SEE US IN MELBOURNE 6-10 AUGUST

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -1000

See all of J Style's super new things (and most of the old ones too) at the Home & Giving Fair in Melbourne 6-10 August. We'll have everything on display to touch and feel and play with. Check that your iPhone fits in our new Retro Kimono Digi Case. Try on a lovely soft Gaze Cotton Scarf. Rearrange our tea canister display (you know you want to). We're at Stand E1600 in the Exhibition Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds, Flemington. See www.homeandgiving.com for details on the free shuttle bus, free parking at the showgrounds and a map of where to find us.

DON'T FORGET - We are in Melbourne setting up our beautiful display from next week, and won't be back until 15 August, so we won't be shipping any orders for two weeks while we are at the exhibition. Sorry for any inconvenience, but hopefully we'll be seeing you at the fair and taking your order there!

ORDER BULK CANISTERS BY 31 JULY

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -1000

Take 20% off the price of any tea canisters pre-ordered by the carton, by the end of July, with delivery due mid to late October. This is the best time to stock up on tea canisters before Christmas, and a store window full of tea canisters makes a great statement. Most canisters are in carton quantities of 120, with the larger ones (200g size) coming in cartons of 96, and some of the smaller ones (e.g. 40g tall washi cans) coming in 200 per carton. Just call Jen to check the quantity of your favourite cans.

If you're thinking mixed washi cans, pre-ordered cartons can be made up in "full mix" which is half and half Red/Pink Mix and Blue/Green Mix. This will actually give you a great combination of reds, pinks, purples, yellows, greens, light blues and dark blues. You will hardly get two canisters the same. Great news for customers looking for something different. 20% off makes it worth it even for smaller stores, and having the mix of colours and patterns doesn't make it look like you've ordered 100 of exactly the same thing.

Don't forget - orders must be in by the end of July to have your canisters brought in from Japan and in your store by October, so call Jen now before you forget.
