Freight Shipments And You!

You may have seen on our site a note with a yellow truck emoji that says "Note: Actual shipping costs may vary from those shown at check out. We will contact you if any adjustment is required... or call us at 800-434-0018 and request a shipping quote... ask about curbside delivery, inside delivery and white glove delivery options!"

Large items, as well as heavy, fragile and/or items that ship fully assembled, are not able to ship via UPS, FedEx or USPS, which are the only shipping methods the website can calculate due to how freight companies calculate costs. Here is a brief rundown on the different shipping options and what information may be needed to get the best and accurate shipping costs on freight shipments. We are more than happy to get a shipping estimate for you prior to placing an order. If you're placing an order online for an item that ships via freight, we will contact you with the actual shipping costs.

Shipping Method Options:

1. Curbside Delivery / Most Basic Service: Trucking Company delivers to the curb/outside of business. The receiver is responsible to bring inside.   
2. Inside Delivery / Intermediate Service: Freight company brings shipment inside the FIRST entrance of the building. NO DEBRIS REMOVAL. NO STAIRS/ELEVATORS included.
3. White Glove Delivery / Premium Service: Freight company brings shipment into the building, into the desired room, unpacks, and removes packing debris. NO ASSEMBLY INCLUDED

If you are interested in a delivery service above the standard curbside delivery, here are common questions regarding the delivery address that are required in order to obtain an accurate estimate:

• Is this a Business or Residential delivery? **Please note that residential shipments tend to be more expensive than commercial addresses. If you are operating the business out of your home, the address is still zoned as a residential address with the freight companies. With residential deliveries, inside delivery is to the garage, not inside the residence
• Is there a loading dock?   If there is no loading dock, where is the parking lot or drop off location? 
• Is the parking lot compatible for a Tractor Trailer to park and unload?
• Is there street parking? 
• Are there stairs to get into the building, if so how many? 
• Is this a 1st Floor Delivery? If not, what floor?
• If delivery is to the 2nd floor or higher, is there access to a Freight elevator?   
• If on the 2nd floor or higher and no elevator is available, how many steps are there to the delivery floor?
• Once the equipment is on the correct floor, how long (estimated yards) is the walk to the desired space? 
• Are there stairs to get to the desired space, if so how many? 
• Are there any narrow hallways, doorways or sharp turns? 
• How wide is the door to enter the desired space? 
• Are there any other obstacles or unusual instructions to consider for delivery? 

Other items we need to be aware of regarding the delivery location include if the address is a school or hospital or a limited access road or delivery location. 

Receiving a freight shipment does also vary from receiving a standard delivery. It is VITAL when receiving a freight shipment to note on the bill of lading (BOL) "SUBJECT TO INSPECTION" when signing. This covers you in the event of any damages that may have occurred during transit that are not visible. If you do not write "SUBJECT TO INSPECTION" on the BOL, you will be responsible for any and all costs involved if there are any damages. By not noting this on the BOL, you are legally confirming that the shipment was delivered in perfect condition. Other things to keep in mind include:

• The shipment must be inspected for damages prior to signing the Bill of Lading (BOL).
• If there are obvious signs of damages, you must detail it on the BOL prior to signing (the driver cannot leave until you sign this).
• If there are no signs of damage, you must write "Subject to Inspection" on the bill of lading before signing.

• Be sure to keep a copy of the marked and signed BOL.
• Open and inspect all shipments immediately and report any damages within 24 hours of delivery.
• If you will not be there to personally accept the shipment, please provide the same instructions for receiving the shipment to the person accepting the shipment on your behalf.
• For international clients, please note that Pure Spa Direct will not be held responsible for any damage or loss that may occur after delivery to the address on your order. If delivering to a freight forwarder, we will not replace or refund any loss or damage reported after the order has been sent on to its final destination.

This seems like a lot of scary information, however, we want to help protect you and your shipments in the event of any damages!

You can always give us a call if you have any questions on if an item ships via freight or to obtain a shipping estimate!

Vac-Spray Beauty Benefits

When I get a facial, I am always so amazed by how clean my skin is! Quite simply, during a facial, you are getting a clean that you simply can't get at home. What are you using to achieve this deep clean?

One of the best, most effective ways to clear out the pores is with suction! A vacuum is used just like a household vacuum. It cleans the pores by suctioning out the embedded dirt and oil. While the suction cleans, the vacuum provides a penetrating massage and stimulates blood flow.

The spray is used to flush out these freshly vacuumed pores, to thoroughly clean the surface of the skin. The spray can be used with water to rinse, moisten, or soothe the skin. Also great to use with products!

Interested, but on a budget? Take a look at the Encore Table Top Vacuum / Spray Two Function Machine! At this low price, after use in 2 services, it is pure profit.

However, my top pick is the Silhouet-Tone Cirrus Vac Spray!

Vac Spray Includes:

• 1 blackhead cupping glass: to loosen comedones in difficult areas like the nose, chin, and ears. It's used prior to manual extraction.
• 1 anti-wrinkle cupping glass: increases blood circulation; oxygenates the skin and stimulates cell nutrition.
• 1 facial massage cupping glass: provides intense oxygenation of the skin through blood and lymph circulation. Ideal for eye treatments.

Vacuum / Spray Facial Machine Troubleshooting - This Common Mistake Can FRY Your Vacuum / Spray Equipment... READ THIS NOW!

Do you use a vacuum/spray unit in your facials? This equipment is so effective to assist in getting a really nice, deep clean for all skin types.

We recently had a client who was having some trouble with her vacuum/spray unit, and it was found that at some point, the unit was set up incorrectly. In talking to the manufacturer's technician, they told us they see this trouble often, so I wanted to share this important information with our readers!

A vacuum/spray unit is a fairly simple piece of equipment to use, but the trouble is that the setup for the vacuum side and the spray side is the same - usually the same color tubing is attached to either an input for the vacuum (which sucks inward), or an output for the spray (which sprays outward).

If the tubing for the spray bottle is attached to the vacuum input, water or liquid can be sucked into the equipment. Once water has made its way into the innards of the unit, it can cause damage to the motor, and eventually cause the motor to seize or stop working. All it takes is 1 time - even if the error is realized almost immediately - if a small amount of water is pulled into the unit, it could eventually cause damage you can't see.

Take a look at the photos below - these are the inside of a vacuum/spray unit that has gotten water inside, and stopped working:

In order to prevent this from happening, we strongly suggest marking the hoses and coinciding connector on the machine with color coding to help ensure the equipment is set up properly. Something as simple as, for example, a red dot of nail polish on the hose and a red dot above the corresponding connector for the vacuum and a different color for the spray hose/connector can make all the difference in keeping your equipment working as it should!

Your hands and your equipment are the lifeblood of your business - a quick marking can keep it running properly!

For the amazing results, all client's expect, there is some upkeep on their end. Are you educating your clients on how to get the best results AND how to maintain between services?

We have just added this amazing retail display by DIR. Take a look at Gems Retail Display Shelf with LED Illumination!

Available in white, black, or grey. It is modern and has neutral colors to fit your space. If you are worried about space, it would work in your treatment room as well! That way you can talk to your client about the maintenance and easily grab the products during or after the service!

Now, what to fill the shelves with! I've tried it all! Take a look at my top picks!

For Exfoliation 

Regular skin exfoliation is the most important in any post waxing treatments! Scrubbing away the dead skin is vital. It clogs pores and causes ingrown hair.

Retail a simple pair of exfoliating gloves. They are inexpensive, need to be replaced often, and really work! This even makes a great free gift for your first-time clients.

Retail an effective body scrub, to help remove that dead skin and leave the skin feeling silky smooth! My pick is the Mancine Hot Salt Body Scrub - Lavender & Witch-Hazel.

It consists of marine extracts that have been blended with Australian Sea Salts then mixed with Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Soya Bean oil and fruit acids to form a deep, exfoliating body scrub to remove dry dead skin.

The perfect formulation of relaxing lavender with natural witch hazel cleanses, tones and cools the skin, with moisturizing herbal humectants acting to organically sooth and remove excess oil. Witch hazel calms skin blemishes and irritations whilst the lavender leaves your skin lightly fragranced - the perfect organic blend. Which is why it is my favorite!

Preventing Ingrown Hairs

Ingrown(zone) Triple Action Post-Depilatory Lotion

This is imported from Australia and is naturally formulated with active ingredients to reduce the appearance of ingrown hairs and bumps.

It slows and softens future hair growth, and is super moisturizing on the skin!

Client Comfort Items

We have so many options for items that can be used in service and make easy retail sales! My pick is the Kozi Shoulder Wrap!

This ultra soft shoulder wrap is designed to cover the contours of the neck and shoulders. Perfect for soothing tight, tired muscles, it will stay in place while your client walks, stands, or sits. Aromatherapy benefits are increased when it is heated in the microwave.

Just for Fun

Sheet masks, under eye masks, and lip masks are such a simple retail item. Celebrities are all over social media using them, and it is so trendy! Having these options not only give real results but are so fun!

Satin Smooth Serum Sheet Mask Display Box in Charcoal 
This Sheet Mask Collection with six customized, serum-drenched facial masks. Display box contains
24 masks, each individually wrapped for single use. Great for salon, spa and home use. Dermatologist Tested.

The Charcoal Mask is enriched with activated charcoal to help clean and purify oily skin. It also contains niacinamide and acai berry extract, which can aid in balancing skin tone and refining pores for softer, smoother-looking skin.
