Hi!  If you are checking out my "About Me" page, chances are good that you have purchased an item with us, or you are considering it!  All serious bidders are welcome.

We started our store in July of 2005 because of our previous success at selling my son's pokemon cards.  From there we progressed to toys, jewelry and finally badges!

We recently changed our store name (and user ID) from POKE PLAZA to "The Badge Boutique", to better represent our diversity of badges, but we are still the same store you know and love!

We ship most of our merchandise out via USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL with Delivery Confirmation, and for domestic orders, we ship the first available business day after your payment is made.  For shipping our orders, we use bubble-wrap lined mailers. The buttons are placed in small zipper bags and secured onto cardboard. We take pride in our careful packaging! We also offer shipping discounts on combined purchases - simply wait for a combined invoice before sending your payment! Sometimes we auction off other items for other members of our family.  These auctions usually ship out Priority Mail on Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with our International orders. HAPPY SHOPPING!

If you have any questions, or need to contact me, you can use e-Bay's "Contact Member" feature, or e-mail me direct at: badgeboutique@cox.net
