    There’s been increased interest from community members about purchasing more than 25 units of a product in presales. While we have had a policy in place since September of last year, the terms weren’t clearly defined so I want to clarify exactly how bulk orders work.

    We allow Quirky community members to place a presale commitment for up to 25 units of any product. As a community member, you are guaranteed presale influence as long as you complete your commitment within the set timeframe after the product becomes available for shipping, and otherwise comply with the terms and conditions governing your use of quirky.com.

    If you want to place a commitment for more than 25 units for any products, it is no longer considered a standard customer order and there are different rules and restrictions.

    You will not receive presales influence for more than 25 units.

    You must pay up front, in full for all units in a bulk order.

    You must sign a retail term agreement.

    If you want to commit to more than 25 units here’s what to do.

    1. Place a commitment for 25 units as you normally would through your Quirky account. This will guarantee that you are eligible for presales influence, subject to your compliance with the conditions detailed above.

    2. Email questions@quirky.com and let us know how many additional units you want of which product.

    3. A member of the Quirky finance team will reach out to you with a credit card authorization form and a retail term agreement that will need to be completed, signed and sent back to Quirky.

    If you have any questions feel free to submit them as comments on this post, or you can email them to questions@quirky.com.

    Since you can cancel your pre-sale commitment at any time, we want to be sure that products that are hitting threshold do so for good reason. If everyone committed and then backed out before shipping, that would defeat the purpose of the pre-sales threshold, right?

    So moving forward, the quirky.com check out process will not allow any single community member to order more then 25 units, to help prevent this kind of thing. If any community member, or retailer, or wholesaler wants to commit to more than 25 units, they are welcome to reach out to me at nikki@quirky.com.

    Don’t worry; I don’t bite! I will work with you to process your bulk order as quickly as possible. There will be a deposit and purchase order necessary, but don’t worry, it does not take long and it is not hard. Just email me if you’re interested! And as always, feel free to hit us up with any questions you have. We’re happy to respond.

    - A foot rest built right into the dustpan handle, so that your foot can steady the dustpan for hands-free sweeping.

    Glow N Go

    Glow ‘n Go is a portable night light for children with a built in clock and alarm. The Glow ‘n Go acts as the perfect tool to help your children navigate any dark hallway when they awake to go the bathroom in the middle of the night or simply as a night light when they are afraid of the dark. Your Kids can simply press the large button on the front of the unit to illuminate the Glow ‘n Go for 20 minutes.

    In addition to the light, Glow ‘n Go can also function as an alarm clock. Help your kids set the time to sound and illuminate using the rubber coated buttons in the back of the unit. Feel free to use this as a standard morning wake up alarm for your kids, or as a “go signal” letting your child know its OK to wake up Mommy or Daddy, or even to let them know its time to shut off the tv and go to bed!

    The Glow ‘n Go unit is made of hard, durable plastic with large, colored rubber buttons. The interior handle is made of soft plastic ensuring a good comfortable grip for your kids. We’ve added a non slip base for stability that also functions as protection for your furniture and table surfaces should your child set his/her Glow ‘n Go down on your favorite table top.

    Glow ‘n Go has a built in rechargeable battery with an attached AC adaptor cord that can be plugged into a wall socket during the day when not in use.

    No need to wait for that wedding, bar mitzvah, or frat party, now you can quickly build and customize your own ice luge at home or in your dorm room.

    LugeCubes

    Quirky’s LugeCubes set comes with 3 mold designs, a drinking spout and an image only, no reading required, assembly instruction booklet. You can choose to ice luge with one, two, or three tiers – each tier is an 8” x 8” x 8” cube. So stack ‘em all or keep it to one: it’s up to you how fast you want to get that liquor into your system.

    We’ve carefully crafted the tubular luge design to allow the drinker to see the liquor traveling through the ice (READ: easy to imbibe when intoxicated). The drinking spout is removable and reusable so you can give it a quick clean between drinkers – mom may not be proud your drinking, but she’ll be glad to know you aren’t spreading H1N1 around your frat house.

    Commit to your LugeCubes now – only $22.47 in pre-sales. We need 300 to move this thing to manufacturing.

    Go go go, get your LugeCubes and earn influence by committing in pre-sales!
