This is not helping my need for instant gratification....

A question for the BPAL addicts among you --

So I finally took the plunge and ordered some stuff from BPAL, because their Wanderlust collection sounded really nifty, and I figured it was a small investment on the chance I might actually find a scent I liked and maybe wasn't allergic to.

And this morning I came into work and found my package from them waiting for me. Almost exactly two months after I ordered it.

Is this time lag normal for BPAL? Is it just because I was ordering samples? Or is it always like that, and if so, how do you cope when you're actually into the stuff? 'Cause damn, I've had entire fandoms go by faster than that.

Definitely normal.

Best thing to do is read this FAQ that Sophia put together the other month. And also, while everyone gets different reactions/scents from the oils, reading other people's descriptions helps. I've got a bunch of them in my memories, and my own under my BPAL tag, if you want to get a feel.

Cool, thanks! I read the FAQ and I now feel much more smarter about the whole thing. *g* And I have been reading a lot of reviews, which have been very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how my impressions of what I got compare with others'.
