Hula Mula has arrived

Our first shipment from the all girls clothing line Hula Mula is here. We received super cute fun rompers for infant from 0 - 24 months and we also got in a really cute pair of sailor pants/capris and a jail stripe tank top that goes really great together.
Since Hula Mula is the sister company to the all boys fun, funky clothing, Knuckleheads I am sure our summer order for them will arrive soon, too. Super cute stripe rompers for infants coming from them, too.
Knuckleheads also has skateboards with their logo on them. They are really cool. They come in daddy and son sizes. If anyone is interested let us know through the store and we can get you one.


On a separate note, we received a wonderful compliment on the store and our service and I want to share it. I was told by a customer who purchased a gift certificate for a co-worker, "It was the best e-commerce experience shopping the person who redeemed the gift certificate EVER had. From placing the order from the way we communicated with her until her order arrived." This makes me very happy.
At CalamariBaby our goal is to treat every customer as if they were, well me.
Question: How many times did you place an order on-line thinking you had plenty of time for it to arrive. The day you see UPS pull up you are excited to see the things you ordered and you open the box and only half your stuff is in the box? This happens to me every time I order on-line and I hate it. I don't hate that it is on backorder. That is normal. I hate that no one from the company could let me know. It would make a big difference to me if I just knew ahead of time that guess what, your this, this and that will be trailing your first shipment by a day or two. Then I am not disappointed when my first part of the order arrives and still looking forward to the rest. Not just annoyed until it comes.
Our whole deal is communication. So customers know what to expect and if we need to go a different route to get you something by the time you need it we can figure something out (99.9% of the time)
I don't know are they afraid you may cancel it. Maybe. But they want it right, they ordered it! Make people happy, they are paying you for customer service...give it to them.
That is how I feel. I work hard to create an experience at our store that makes people feel like we care about you and your shopping experience.
When we open our Brick n Mortar, look out because it is going to be a very cool store.

some of the hip new clothing and shoes are here






Our shipment of our new pediped originals for infants and babies from 0-24 months came in early. The new little girls styles are just totally cool. I just love the Grace and the Jane. Every baby girl needs a pair of these awesome little shoes. They have a lot of other super cute styles to chose from these two are hot though.

Then we also received our shipment of Tea collections Spring line. I love it! The fashions they created are so adorable and fun for both boys and girls. The GFC shirts and bodysuits I really love. They are really high quality and soft 100% cotton in beautiful bright colors with the tag line "for little citizen's of the world."

Come to CalamariBaby.com to check out the new shipments!

Do you need to upgrade your version of IE

If you think our web pages look strange you may need to update the version of IE you are using. Exactly why it does not display correctly in the old versions, I do not know. I had a customer tell me it looked strange. She ran the upgrade for 7.0 and then said, "Wow! The site looks great, clean....Bravo."

If you don't know whether you have it, you probably don't. It never hurts to have the latest and greatest, right?

That is why you came to CalamariBaby to shop, we are the latest and greatest!

Really though....... The upgrade will fix the issue and the site will display the way it was designed to look.

So here is a link for the free upgrade: http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie7/

out with the old in with the new

As I am putting in our new orders we are getting ready to do some major markdowns.
Innies n Outies who is already at 30% will go to 50% off for most of the collection. Not sure if we will be bringing it back. I have been told they will not be releasing a collection for '08.
Kung Fu Bambini will be on sale by Monday the 21st of Jan. marking everything that is left down to 30% off. Haven't got a look at anything new for them.

We have Tea Collection to make room for. We have Kids Ink onesies, rompers and tees coming in March and they are just too cute. I saw them at the Fashion Mart LA show last weekend and could not take my eyes or hands off them.

There are some Baby Legs patterns that will be retired so they will be marked down. Gotta make room for the cool new patterns.

The rubber sole toddler Pedipeds will be in soon. They look great. I got a look at them at the Fashion Mart as well.

Take advantage of the sales while supplies last!

And YES you can use the coupon: supermom on top of the markdowns.......
