Is this recent? I know with the previous MSC that was the payment for the shop but this particular shop changed hands a few months ago and the fee increased then.

Methinks you were at GP Mall, cj. We have to meet up sometime! The shop at that mall was awkward before the owner change. LOL. The office is not really a high traffic place and the lady I spoke to seemed really suspicious and taken aback that I even knew the office was there and that I was asking "for a suggestion for a gift." Not to mention, she didn't even know how to process a gift card purchase. It was an experience, to say the least. lol.

WI waited and didnt get it, even though its still listed with a $10. Bonus. I guess they didnt need it that badly.

I was there! lol Plus, I was so confused that I forgot about my clothing shop and had to go back later that day. Blah. I don't like that mall. lol
I noticed they had the same mall back on the boards even after I told them it's not happening with the gift cards. ha
