------- Read our Sample Sale FAQs below!
What is the Sample Sale?
This is when we sell our store demos, show samples, or an old colorway that may be hiding on a shelf in a back room somewhere.
It is not a discount code. It is a random collection of carriers that will appear in our Sample Sale collection at a discounted price. Demand is high, and it always gets crazy!
How can I find the Sample Sale?
The link to the Sample Sale will be right up in our main menu!
All sales are final, and due to the sheer volume of orders, we cannot edit or cancel any order once it has been placed. A good idea to make sure that the shipping address on your account is up to date!
What will the prices be?
Prices are shown when the sale is live. We do not announce them before hand as there are too many variables, rest assured the prices are very good.
What colors/styles will be in the sale?
One of the most exciting things about the Sample Sale is that it is not previewed (kind of like an egg hunt!). Our sale inventory is revealed when the shop opens at 10 am pacific time on Tuesday. We can say that all 3 carrier styles will be in the sale.
How will I know the details of the carrier? What color leather, etc.
The title of each carrier will include all the details you need to know about the carrier.
Ring Slings: unless otherwise noted in the title of the product, all ring slings will be our standard 75" length, and the rings on the ring slings will be Gold.
I have a gift code/store credit, can I use it during the Sample Sale?
Yes! You are welcome to use your gift code or store credit during the sample sale. However, due to the volume of orders we cannot refund any unused/forgotten, etc. coupon codes or store credits after the order has been placed. Thank you for understanding.
Is this sale online only, how does this work?
Yes, the sale is online only. It is first come, first served and demand is high so be sure to create an account in advance and have your payment info handy. Please be aware that items placed in your cart are not “ yours” until you have fully checked out.
We will be shutting down the site before the launch to add inventory (a couple of hours before). We will turn the site back on once the sale is live at 10 am pacific time. Shop the Sample Sale here.
I placed more than one order, can you combine my orders?
Due to the sheer volume of orders at once, we cannot combine any orders placed during the Sample Sale.
When will items from the sample sale begin shipping?
Unless otherwise noted, we ask that everyone allow three weeks for carriers to begin shipping due to the sheer volume of orders all at once. Everything will be shipping right from our San Diego workshop.
Please Note: We print shipping labels in bulk and then ship over the next couple weeks. If you see that a shipping label has been created for your order but your order hasn't shipped, this is normal :) Please refrain from emailing to ask when your order will ship as this slows the shipping process as it is the same team doing both emails and shipping. Thank you for your cooperation.
Is there a link to the sale?
Yes. https://sakurabloom.com/collections/sample-sale
