New Allergy label design! Now Oliver's Labels is Gluten-free!

This morning we got an email from a woman who suggested that we add an Allergy label design for people with wheat or gluten allergies. She was the first to suggest it and we thought it was a fantastic idea. Food allergies are actually increasing and we know how important it is to protect our children when they leave our sight! This is what we designed and is now available at www.oliverslabels.com:

We hope that this new design is helpful. We love to hear your suggestions so email us! We actually listen!

Oliver's Labels: Product featured in Tot Trends Weekly!

Oliver's Labels is featured in Tot Trends Weekly Magazine!

Tot Trends Weekly is a great online magazine for style-savvy moms as well as retailers looking for fabulous new products. In their most recent issue they featured children's labels and more specifically, our Allergy Labels. Here's what they wrote:

We're taught not to label children, but we say that labeling
everything they own is a pretty smart idea! Got Allergies?
Then Allergy Labels from Oliver's Labels are just the thing.
With Oliver's Labels, you'll be sure that your child's Allergy
Labels will stay right where you stick them; all labels are
waterproof, weatherproof, dishwasher proof, microwave
proof, and tear resistant.

Happy Simcoe Day!

It's great to have a long weekend in August... and who cares if you have no idea why you get the day off! :)
Actually, today is Simcoe Day in honour of the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. However, Torontonians are the only ones who actually call it that. Most provinces and territories in Canada also take the first Monday in August off but the day is known by several different names. For instance, in Nova Scotia it's called Natal Day and in Alberta it's called Heritage Day. In general you can call it a Civic Holiday. And if you are in one of those lucky provinces or territories that gets it, you can call it "WOO HOO LET'S GO TO THE COTTAGE!!"

New Shipping Options on Oliverslabels.com!

I'm very excited to announce that we have now added faster shipping options to our website! These options were always available to our customers by contacting us directly but now you can arrange it right on our Checkout Details page! We can now easily service those moms and dads who need their labels and tags right away.

During the checkout process there used to be only one option... regular Lettermail. This can take 2-4 business days within Canada or 4-5 days to the U.S. Here are the details:

Regular Delivery Service (Click on the link for specific shipping time to your area.)
Destination	Price	Business days to print	Business days to ship	Total
Canada	$ 1.50	about 1-3	about 2-4	about 3-7
USA	$ 3.00	about 1-3	about 4-5	about 5-8
International	$ 6.50	about 1-3	about 7	about 8-10

While that's pretty quick, the problem is that it's not guaranteed so there's always a risk that it can take longer. For those parents who are sending their child off to camp or leaving on a trip or starting school etc... that may not be a risk they want to take. Now Express Delivery Service is available with a click of the mouse on our Checkout Details page. Express Delivery Service means knowing exactly when your labels will arrive and getting them quicker than you can say "Oliver's Labels"! Here are the details:

Express Delivery Service (Click on the links for specific shipping time to your area.)
Destination	Price	Business days to print	Business days to ship	Total
Canada	$ 15.00	1	1-2	2-3
USA	$ 16.00	1	3-5 (major centres) (other states)	4-6
International	$ 46.00	1	4-7	5-8

Need them even FASTER? Can do! We also have Priority Delivery Service that can get you your labels and tags by 10:30am the next morning. You can check out the details here. To arrange this service you must contact us at 1-800-398-2060 or info@oliverslabels.com.

We hope that providing you these new choices will make your shopping experience at Oliverslabels.com even easier.
If you have any suggestions for other things we can do to make your experience at Oliverslabels.com better, we would love to hear them!

Update regarding Thursday's post about Paypal

I just wanted to let you know a quick update regarding the last post about Paypal charging your American Express in US currency even if you have a Canadian account and you're shopping in Canadian dollars at oliverslabels.com....

I received an email this morning from Lindsey at Paypal saying:
"due to American Express and Discover guidelines, these cards can only be charged in U.S. denomination. Visa and MasterCard offer different currencies."
So, even though I was told on the phone that this only happens with American Express, apparently it also applies to Discover card users too.

I hope this information is helpful to my fellow Canadians. When choosing to pay with a credit card, Visa and MasterCard are the way to go!
