Win Your Choice of Snap Pliers, $10 Gift Certificate, or Victoria Couture Hello Kitty Tote

2012-01-26T15:14:00.000-08:00

You may already know that I've got a soft spot for dogs and that I volunteer heavily in animal rescue. Portions of our sales are donated to animal rescue every month. You can read more on our About Us page.

Dublin Dog Co, the makers of the original "no stink" dog collars that many of our rescued dogs wear, is currently holding a Facebook contest for a prize pack of their merchandise and various other items, which we would love to win for our non-profit rescue.

And we thought, this would be a fun opportunity for us to hold another of our own giveaways! So here it is:

How to Enter

1. Click on this special link: http://bit.ly/Aw292l , "like" Dublin Dog, AND sign up with your name & email as requested on the page. You must sign up to get credit since that's the only way we can identify you.

2. Leave a comment to this blog post with your email address stating you've done the above and provide the name you signed up under. (You can spell out your email to avoid spambots. For example: salesATkamsnapsDOTcom)

The Prize

We'll randomly choose 1 winner through random.org to win their choice of:
1. A coupon code for snap pliers (normal shipping charges may apply unless your order qualifies for free shipping),
2. A $10 gift certificate to KAMsnaps.com, OR
3. A Hello Kitty tote bag by famous designer Victoria Couture, pictured below. This option is available only to residents within the US due to imported-related charges that may apply if shipped internationally.

This giveaway is open worldwide. Limit 1 entry per person. Ends Feb 12th. Good luck and have fun!

New Mixed Color Sets

Available in size 20 glossy only.

Refer a Friend & Score KAMsnaps.com Dollars

2011-10-10T03:07:00.000-07:00

Tell a friend about KAMsnaps.com and you'll earn DOUBLE their Reward Points when they place their first order!

Earn points on all of your purchases
Each dollar spent at KAMsnaps.com earns 1 point. Those points can in turn be used to pay for your next order. 1 point is worth $0.05 towards your next purchase. That means 20 points = $1, 100 points = $5, and so on -- that's equivalent to a 5% rebate on every purchase*.

Refer your friends and earn DOUBLE their points to apply towards your next purchase
Beginning Oct 10, 2011, you can earn extra points through our Refer-a-Friend program. Simply log into your account and click on the "Refer Friends" link in the My Account box. Enter your friends' email addresses and we will send them each a special link through which to order from.

When your friends set up a new account through the special link, not only will they earn points on their own orders, but you'll earn DOUBLE their points as well! There is no limit on how many friends you can refer and how many referral points you can accumulate. You'll be able to use your points directly at checkout to pay for your next purchase.

For example, if your friend places an initial order of $50, your friend will earn 50 points and you will earn 100 points for referring your friend. Since 1 point is worth $0.05, that means your friend will have $2.50 to apply towards her next order and you'll have $5 to apply!

Rules and limitations do apply. Visit our Refer-a-Friend Special page for full details.

Reward Points: Earn 5% on Every Purchase

2011-10-07T23:38:00.000-07:00

We've made our Reward Points program even better!

Earn points on all of your purchases
The Reward Points program, started in 2009, is our way of thanking you for being a loyal shopper with KAMsnaps.com. All you need to do in order to earn Reward Points is make a purchase. You'll earn 1 point for every dollar you spend. (Does not apply to purchases of gift certificates or wholesale or other discounted orders.)

Each point gets you $0.05 off future purchases at KAMsnaps.com. That's essentially a 5% rebate. That means 20 points = $1 off, 100 points = $5 off, and so on.

Redeem your points instantly at checkout
You can now use your points to pay for part or all of your order, and there is no minimum on how many points you need in order to start using them.

To use your points to pay for an order:

Select "Use my reward points" as your payment method on the checkout page.
Click the Continue button. Your points will be applied to your total.
After your points have been applied, select the payment method you would like to use to pay for the remainder of your total.

To check the balance of your Rewards Points, login to your account, then look in the My Account box near the bottom of the page. (In the example below, 141 points would = $7.05, which is 5%.)

For complete details on our Rewards Points program, visit http://www.kamsnaps.com/Reward-Points-23.html.

Join the KAMsnaps.com Free Ship Club & Receive Free US Shipping for a Year

2011-08-21T13:48:00.000-07:00

KAMsnaps.com always tries to provide you with the best value. We've been offering free Priority US shipping on orders of at least $28 for years and have recently introduced free shipping to Canada. We also provide discounted shipping rates to numerous international destinations (much lower than what we actually pay for shipping) and have just lowered the shipping rate for very small US orders to just $3.

But wouldn't it be nice to completely eliminate shipping costs? If you're a US resident, now you can by joining our Free Shipping Club. Offered at an introductory membership price of just $20 (for a limited time only), you'll never have to pay shipping on any of your orders, no matter how small, again--for an entire year.

This is not only a great deal in general but also offers the convenience of ordering just what you need when you need it instead of trying to save up your orders so that you can meet our free shipping threshold. Did you just place a large order only to realize you forgot to add a color of snaps? As a Free Shipping Club member, it's no big deal--you pay nothing extra to have that single color shipped separately.

At this time, membership to the Free Shipping Club is limited to US residents only.

Available at: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Free-Ship-Club-Other-Options-c31/. Additional information and restrictions are provided on the product page.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits Spotlight

2011-08-14T23:31:00.000-07:00

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits is an all volunteer non-profit organization whose mission is to provide low-income families in the NC Triad area with free cloth diapers and supplies. Cloth diapers are less expensive, better for the environment, and are reusable.

From Shane Morris, founder & CEO of Sweet Cheeks:
"We began making cloth diapers from recycled t-shirts in August of 2010. There is currently no federal, state or local assistance for diapers (cloth OR disposable). We are partnering with local WIC offices to supply cloth diaper kits to families in need. There is currently a waiting list for diaper kits."

Sweet Cheeks has an ongoing need of used 100% cotton t-shirts, new or used diapers, detergent, diaper cream, fabric, and other supplies. You can also attend their monthly Diaper Derby in Greensboro, NC. To learn more about Sweet Cheeks and how you can help, visit Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits on Facebook.

Sweet Cheeks Diaper Kits is now listed as an approved charity on the KAMsnaps Plastic Snaps for Charities page.

Size 14 Long Prong Caps in New Colors

2011-07-25T16:56:00.001-07:00

We have added a few of our most popular colors in size 14 long-prong plastic snaps. Size 14 caps have the smallest diameter (9.74mm) of all the snaps we carry. The standard prong length is only 3.5mm tall, which is too short for most applications. These longer prongs have a length of 5.0mm, making them usable in a wider range of applications. Available on the Size 14 product page under the Plastic Snaps category: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Size-14-p283.html

**Note that sizes 14 and 16 plastic snaps have identical studs and sockets--only the caps are different.

To convert mm to inches, please refer to this chart: http://mdmetric.com/tech/cvtcht.htm.

"Basic Snaps" and "Bulk Buy" Product Pages No Longer Available

2011-07-08T18:35:00.001-07:00

When shopping at KAMsnaps.com, you may notice that the "Basic Snaps" and "Bulk Buy" product pages are no longer available. Product pages for plastic snaps are now grouped by size (ie. size 16, size 14, etc). Those of you who previously ordered from the Bulk Buy page (counts of 1000) can now order from the appropriate snap size page. We have made this change so that those who take advantage of our Bulk Buys can now use our quick order format. http://www.kamsnaps.com/Standard-Long-Prong-Snaps-c7/

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our One-Day Sale a success! We have long hours ahead of us as we work diligently to process your orders as quickly as possible.

Special thank you to those on Facebook who made the sale even more exciting and fun for us!

KAMsnaps.com 25% Off 1-Day Sale on July 1, 2011

2011-07-01T01:22:00.000-07:00

Our 1-day sale is happening now! If you haven't heard about it yet, you can read about what led to this sale here. We have to admit, this is happening much sooner than we imagined, but that's a good thing!

All basic plastic KAM snaps in counts of 100 will be 25% off for 24 hours only, on Friday July 1, 2011. That includes sizes 20, 16, 14, and 24 as well as glossy, matte, and long prongs. Prices on the following product pages will be reduced 25%:

- Size 20 Glossy Quick Order
- Size 20 Matte Quick Order
- Size 20 Long-Prong Quick Order
- Size 16 Quick Order
- Size 14 Quick Order
- Size 24 Quick Order

That means prices will be as low as $3.75 for a complete set of 100, or $1.43 for partial sets of 100 (sockets or studs or caps). Plus free US shipping on orders of at least $28.

KAMsnaps Order Spreadsheet: Some of you may find our excel-formatted order spreadsheet helpful in preparing your orders. It lists all the KAMsnaps colors so you can easily mark the quantities you want for each color and snap part/set. You'll need to double check in-stock colors every time you order because sometimes they change. Note that colors in sizes other than 20 are very limited so most of what is listed on the spreadsheet won't be available if you order something other than size 20.

A few notes:

- Sale price cannot be applied retroactively to purchases already made and is valid only during the 24 hour sale period.

- Coupon codes cannot be used if you have a sale item in your cart. However, gift certificates, which are just like cash, are valid. Limit 1 gift certificate per order.

- Supply is limited to what we have in stock. Unfortunately, while our online store has been designed to make shopping as easy for our customers, we have had to suppress inventory tracking to do so. That means that some items may be sold out after you place an order. In such cases, we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know and refund or substitute according to your preference.

- Orders, once submitted, cannot be changed.

- If your order also includes a back-ordered snap press, please be aware that your entire order will be delayed until the presses are restocked.

- We do not know how busy our server will be during this sale, so it is possible our site may be slower than usual. We apologize in advance.

- Depending on how many orders are placed during the sale, it may take us extra time to process your order. If your order includes these sale items, please allow a week or so for processing, on top of normal shipping times. We hope it does not take us that long, but we want to be conservative in our estimate. As always, we will work as diligently as we can to get your orders out as quickly as possible.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank, with the utmost sincerity, our many wonderful customers who have made selling snaps so enjoyable for us. You rock! (Or should we say, You snap?)

USPS Resumes Accepting Mail to Canada

2011-06-28T08:16:00.000-07:00

http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2011/pr11_077.htm
http://www.usps.com/communications/news/serviceupdates.htm

Now that the Canada Post strikes are over, the United States Post Office is accepting mail to Canada again. However, according to their service update page:

"Due to the large volumes of mail held by countries, customers may experience slightly longer transit times. USPS is working closely with the Canadian Postal Service to hold delays to a minimum."

We can't know how long the delays will be but conservatively, we recommend expecting a 3 week or more delay over normal transit times. There is also a larger possibility that more packages will be lost in transit due to this influx of mail. For this reason, KAMsnaps.com will resume USPS Priority shipping but will delay First Class shipping until further notice. That means our free shipping to Canada program will be suspended for a while until we are more confident packages to Canada will reach their destinations without long delays or mishaps. But you can take advantage of our already reduced Priority shipping rates to Canada of as low as $5 on most packages, regardless of how large your order is.

We still recommend waiting to place your order to Canada if you can to give the inevitable chaos a chance to die down.

New Mixed Colors: Autumn

2011-06-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

Mixed Color packs are a mix of any one color combination listed below. For example, if you select Rainbow, you will receive a random mix of all 6 Rainbow colors listed.

100 complete sets (100 sockets, 100 studs, 200 caps) for $10. Please note that each component of the complete set will be randomly mixed so you will not receive the same proportion of specific colors. In other words, you may not receive matching studs or sockets for each color cap.

Available in size 20 glossy only. Order at http://www.kamsnaps.com/Mixed-Colors-p17.html. Limited availability.

New Quick Order Pages for All Plastic Snap Sizes

2011-06-24T13:15:00.000-07:00

We now have quick order pages for size 16, 14, and 24 KAM plastic snaps in addition to size 20 glossy, size 20 matte, and size 20 long prongs. These product pages allow you to easily and quickly add lots of colors to your cart. Add as many colors as you want in just seconds. (You can still add colors 1 by 1 if you prefer by using the Basic Snaps page.) To view our plastic snap category, visit http://www.kamsnaps.com/Standard-Long-Prong-Snaps-c7/.

A Note about Size 16/14 Sockets & Studs

2011-06-23T17:03:00.000-07:00

Many people who are unfamiliar with size 16 or 14 snaps confuse the studs and sockets for the same piece because they look so similar. Before you assume you received the wrong pieces, please look very closely. You may refer to the picture below for reference. You can also just snap the 2 pieces together to confirm that they fit.

Custom Color Sample Bags Now Available

2011-06-23T16:05:00.000-07:00

Along with the color card showing all 60 of the original KAM plastic snap color line (B1-B60), you can now purchase sample bags of our custom color snaps, starting at just 50 cents for each custom color group. Limited availability. Available at http://www.kamsnaps.com/Samples-amp-Color-Cards/KAM-Color-Card-Custom-Color-Sample-Bags-p34.html.

KAM Color Card

A KAM color card displays the complete original KAM color line (B1-B60) of plastic snaps. Available with matte caps or glossy caps. Custom colors are not included on color cards. Note: It is unnecessary to purchase both a glossy and a matte card since both display the identical colors--only the finish is different.

Custom Color Bags

For a limited time, you can also purchase sample bags of our custom colors (not part of the original KAM color line). Each bag will contain 1 cap per color in each available color group, listed below. Individual snap colors will not be labeled.
