April News
1 April 2010Thankyou
Thanks for all your patience over the last few weeks with the change of ownership, it is much appreciated. So that we don’t bombard your email inbox, but keep you up to date, we will start sending out a monthly newsletter around the beginning of each month to let you know what has been happening and what maybe coming up.
Postage Changes
To begin with over the last couple weeks we have been re-assessing some products and services we provide for you here at Party Direct and have decided to reduce the postage costs to a flat rate for Standard Parcel (No Pinata) to $8.50 for all of Australia and $10.50 if your order has a Pinata.
Now also available is local/store pickup for those who live close by and want to save on postage costs. You will see these new changes when you checkout after choosing your order.
Overseas delivery is still available, but we have come to the conclusion that it is hard to just put one figure down for postage as each individual order is different; therefore the prices under the overseas delivery are an indication only and are based on a parcel weight of 3kg or more. If you are ordering from overseas, please email us at party@partydirect.com.au for a more accurate postage cost.
Please feel free to join our facebook page Party Direct and invite others to join. We will be having “special” discounts and offers for facebook fans only, starting with a garage sale this Sunday night, April 4th, 2010 from 8.30pm South Australia time, to make room for some new stock.
Paypal
Our credit card facility tends to act up a bit sometimes, so therefore we have created a paypal account for anyone who is having trouble paying online. Please feel free to contact us if you would prefer to pay via paypal.
Special Discount for April
April and May seem to be busy times for birthday’s, so to help out a bit, we are applying a small discount of 10% off your total order for the month of April. To redeem this offer, just type in APRIL in the redemption code section as you checkout. There is no minimum order, but voucher is limited to one per person.
Birthday List
We would like to sincerely apologise for the fact that we have not kept up to date with the birthday list over the last few weeks, and are sorry if we have missed someone’s birthday. We will be starting again over the next few days, but there will be a small change to the way we do this from now on. We will be emailing a little reminder and the catalogue as a pdf attachment; we will no longer be posting out catalogues unless requested.
Suppliers/New themes
Some exciting new themes are on their way due to contacting a few new suppliers. Don’t forget if there is any theme you are looking for and can’t find, please send us an email and we will do our very best to try and find the products for you.
Happy Easter
Lastly, we would like to wish you all a very happy and safe Easter! We are not having a break at all, so please feel free to logon and make use of the 10% discount offer, but please remember that orders cannot be sent until Tuesday, due to the public holidays. We look forward to continue helping you with your children’s birthday party supplies!
Cheers Serena

some new changes
20 March 2010Thanks to you all for being so patient throughout this transition with the change of ownership. Party Direct are pleased to announce a couple new changes.
- Delivery charges have been altered, we have decided to have a flat rate for all of Australia and so are ONLY charging $8.50 for a standard delivery and ONLY $10.50 for a premium delivery (order with pinata). International deliveries have been altered also, and therefore have changed the structure a little on when you order from overseas, please see delivery and refund information under the terms tab on the main page for more details.
- We are now offering “local pickup” for those who live near the area of Nuriootpa/Barossa Valley in South Australia, to help save on delivery costs. So for those who live in this area are more than welcome to pick up their orders, they just need to quote a coupon code as they checkout on their order. Again please see delivery and refund info under the terms tab for more details.
We are looking at stocking some new items in the next month, so please stay tuned. In the meantime, don’t forget to request a free catalogue or join our birthday list and if there is any certain themes you would like to see on our site or have any fresh ideas, your comments are always welcome.
