Postal Strikes & Shipping

With the impending postal strikes we have reduced our courier/Parcel Force rates to get as many orders shipped by Parcel Force as possible which are unaffected by the strike.

We have also reduced our free shipping threshold to £40 so all orders of £40 will ship free.  This will go back to £50 after the strike and back log is cleared so is a limited offer only. All orders of £40 will automatically ship by Parcel Force so will be unaffected by strike.

We have also increased our returns policy from 30 days to 60 days to maximise peace of mind in the run up to Christmas as people buy gifts.

incognito anti-mosquito spray is priced 25% lower in the run up to Christmas both online and at Holland & Barrett. This is the first time this premium, sought-after product has been discounted.

incognito’s natural formula works differently from repellents as it masks human odours from all manner of predatory stinging and biting insects, rather than coating the wearer in toxic pesticides such as DEET – which was recently cited as a “toxic worry” by one of the worlds top scientists.* incognito’s entire range of sprays, soaps, moisturisers and shampoos are completely safe for you, your children and the planet – yet highly effective.

Holland & Barrett are offering the 100 ml sprays on a buy one get one half-price basis between October 15^th to November 13^th.  RRP £8.99.  The online offer mirrors this discount offering a free spray for every three bottles purchased. With the bottles’ distinctive green and black packaging, they are an ideal stocking-filler for anybody going travelling in the next year or for those in search of winter sun.

The “Flashpack” is  an ethically-sourced, cotton, roll up travel bag that contains a spray, shampoo and Luxury Loofah Soap which makes a very unusual Christmas present; reduced to just £24.

The entire range contains the same, deliciously fragrant organic Citronella found only on the island of Java; which provides increased protection against insect bites over ordinary citronella as insects have yet to build up any tolerance to it.  It is suitable for use on all the family including babies and has a light, fresh fragrance well suited for both men and women.

incognito has been a huge success this Summer with their Luxury Loofah Soap and Citronella incense sticks completely selling out to customers, distributors and retailers including Harrods.

Howard Carter, incognito’s Founder and CEO says, “It has not been easy growing the company in a recession, but thanks to an amazing commitment from Team incognito, we have managed to increase direct orders threefold this year, demonstrating that a Green company can grow even in a recession.”

The whole range is available in the UK at Harrods (including Heathrow), John Bell & Croydon, Planet Organic, Whole Foods and in Ireland at all branches of Sam McCauley’s. Or direct through the website http://www.lessmosquito.com/

Gillian and Kevan Trott became involved in sustainable design and construction several years ago.  They saw Mike Reynolds (the visionary behind a fully sustainable building design called an earthship} speak in Brighton and decided to help promote his concept in Europe.  The buildings incorporate a large amount of waste materials in their construction.  They are also buildings which are self-sufficient for power and water and a large amount of food is also produced on site.

Kevan worked as Mike Reynold’s European Associate to develop
the earthship concept in Europe for over 5 years.  They have been
involved in developing earthships in Holland and Scotland.  The
company, Earthbuilds has evolved from the original earthship concept
using new technologies and materials and ways of working.  There is a
strong emphasis on Permaculture which is at the heart of the
organisation.  The Normandy earthship was the first project which was
completed in June 2OO8.  The earthship in Zwolle was completed in an
amazing 13 weeks last Autumn and progress on the current earthship in
Glasgow can be checked out on the Earthbuilds Facebook page. 
Earthbuild workshops are being run later this year in Portugal and
Poland.  A number of projects are also in the pipeline for 2O1O
including a 5 earthbuild development in the Orkneys, as well as
planning applications being processed in Nottinghamshire, Cornwall,
Gloucester and Holland.  

Earthbuilds is a public limited company with a strong emphasis on education, information sharing and networking.  

Design
and planning applications are undertaken by Kevan, they are developing
a Euro Crew for construction and Gillian runs workshops, courses,
co-ordinates volunteers and develops promotional material.

Kevan
and Gillian are based in Brighton but built their own earthship with
initial assistance from Mike Reynolds, in Normandy France.  They are
involved in developing this type of construction in Northern Ireland,
England, Scotland and Wales, France, Holland, Portugal and Poland so
far. They are in the process of developing opportunities in other
European countries in the near future.

See www.earthbuilds.com
for information about construction.  Earthship ‘Perrine’ is available
for rent so that earthship living can be experienced first hand see www.earthship-france.com and up to date information about developments can be found on the Earthbuilds Facebook page.

NO MINIMUM ORDERS

Due to the increasing
demand for our products and in order to keep refilling those lines that
sell more quickly, our retailers have asked us to reduce the minimum
order value from £100. So we are more than happy to oblige, there will
be NO MINIMUM ORDER AMOUNT. Laurence Campion for the company says that;
‘this will help in the current climate plus some of our lines out sell
others, so now customers don’t have to wait before re-ordering.’

Plans are going well for The Great Big Green Wedding Fayre, taking place at Crosby Hall Educational Trust, Liverpool on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6th September.

The event was set up by new business partnership GreenLeaf Press, to showcase the very best in fair trading and ethical wedding suppliers. GreenLeaf Press are Amanda Barr  and Jemma Herbert, their new business designs and creates eco conscious stationery for weddings.

“We can’t believe the wealth of different green businesses that have
jumped on board, everything from peddle powered rickshaws to recycled
jewellery, vintage tea parties  to classical musicians!” explains
Amanda, “We have also been pleasantly surprised by a number of
traditional wedding suppliers who have been keen to find out what they
need to do to go green.”

“I spoke to a reporter recently who
asked if the event would be ‘All hemp dresses and veggie food?’” Jemma
smiles, ” Well, as a matter of fact we wouldn’t say no to a hemp dress
and we do have a veggie caterer- but the great variety of alternative
things that will be going on are giving the event as
festival/celebratory feel and I defy any ‘mainstream’ bride not to get
the urge to break the mould and go for the fun of being peddled to the
ceremony or the romance of a night under canvas, or indeed the bargains
to be had at in charity shop bridal section!”

Highlights include
a catwalk show courtesy of Oxfam Bridal; complimentary tea & cakes;
free pamper sessions with The Bodyshop at Home; the chance to win some
great green hampers from friends like Lovelula; presentations by Katie
Fewings from Ethical Weddings and Greg Valerio from CRED jewellery AND
a green goody bag to take home (plus the odd rickshaw ride!)
