Happy holidays from TartBurners.com. We are closed until January 5, 2009. We will not be shipping orders or returning messages or emails until that time.
Effective December 24, 2008, the minimum order for free ground shipping in the 48 states will be increased from $50 to $75. We regret having to do this; however, we have maintained the $50 level for 6-1/2 years (since July 2002) despite annual increases in UPS shipping rates that we absorb. We have expanded our product selection exponentially during that time and plan to continue to expand product offerings in 2009. While were once just the "Tart Burner Superstore", we now offer almost 4000 SKUs of candles, home fragrance items, personal care and products for the home. We hope the the larger selection makes it easier to meet the free shipping minimum for our customers.

Holiday Shipping and Schedule
Happy Holidays from TartBurners.com.
We are still in stock on most items but are running out of a few categories, mainly Crazy Mountain warmers, McCall's Christmas candles and various Mud Pie monogram letters. If you are looking for these items, we suggest not waiting much longer.
We are still shipping virtually every order in 1 business day or less; however UPS Ground takes a week to get to destinations east of the Mississippi River from our location in California. We strongly suggest ordering by December 15 for Christmas delivery by ground. Orders placed on 12/16 and 12/17 may still get there in time, but it is better to build in leeway for weather and other unforeseen delays.
Our last day of shipping in 2008 will be December 23 and then we will close for vacation and reopen January 5. We will be unable to return phone calls and emails during vacation.

During this time, we have added several new lines to our site, many in a new "For Home" section that includes cutting boards, wine accessories, coasters and serving items from Mud Pie, Cypress Home, Wine Things Unlimited, Highland Graphics and Grasslands Road. The Mud Pie monogrammed items have been particularly popular.
We have also been expanding offerings of some other new lines, including Hillhouse Naturals, Camille Beckman and others. We now have the new Bridgewater Candle soy blend line and have been adding more products from Virginia/Woodwick Candles.

Improved Site Search
TartBurners.com is pleased to announce a site upgrade that was completed this past week. We have added an "advanced search" function that is available from every page on the site near the top left. A search on any term will find all products with that term in the name or description in a section group format. The items can be added to the cart right from the search page. The user can also sort the items by price and relevance.
The latest line we have added is Camille Beckman, known for its hand therapy products and more.

New "Mini-Cart" Feature
TartBurners.com is pleased to announce a site upgrade that was completed this past week. Each page of the site now has a "mini-cart" in the upper right corner that can be shown or hidden by the choice of the customer. Adding products to the cart and viewing the cart no longer requires navigating back and forth between the site and the cart. The customer can also choose the shipping option and calculate freight without navigating to the full cart, although we always recommend the most economical option of UPS Ground in the 48 states.
Adding products to the mini-cart has a slight processing delay that is longer than we would like, but it is still faster than navigating back and forth to the full cart.
