NEW THEME AND RANDOM INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS (FIXED)

I think it’s fixed – I finally figured it out with ZERO useful help from my host provider, they were blaming php memory allocation, I need a VPS, it’s WordPress, it’s WooCommerce, it’s a plugin, it’s the Russians blah blah blah … and in the end it wasn’t any of that, I figured it out and since I know that they’ve been looking at the sight working on it I’m not saying what it was –  they can figure it out – but I’ll give them a hint it was on the server.

I also have the SSL security fixed so you should see the green https:// at the top. Seems they dropped the ball and didn’t reactivate my security certificate after I paid for it on time – so if you want any advice from me DO NOT USE IPOWER WEB HOSTING or any service that is part of ENDURANCE.COM which control a lot of the webhost … all they do is try to sell you more crap most which you don’t need. One I find a good host I’ll let you know as I’ll be moving.

Thanks for your patients. Dave

Everything in the store should work right and the the check out is fine but if you see a problem let me know.

ONE DOLLAR SHIPPING

OK POSTAL RATES ARE GOING UP AGAIN JANUARY 21st … so I’m going to start offering $1.00 domestic shipping with NO TRACKING. You can still get tracked shipping at checkout for $3.00 (for now) but I know a lot of people would rather give the post office less money, I know I would. So starting today I’m offering the additional shipping no tracking option of just $1.00 in the US ONLY. (Sorry rest of the world)
I’m going to try this for a while and if it works out I’ll keep it. Powder will still be package rate or $4.00 that includes tracking and US orders over $40.00 will ship free with tracking.

START SHOPPING!

NEWSLETTER TYPO

I know you are shocked I’d make a typo … (said very sarcastically) but one reader kindly pointed out that I said  … “  

“Dave’s Decals would like to announce that our decals will NOT be in a few selected Carolina Craftman’s Kits”

That should read …  

“Dave’s Decals would like to announce that our decals will NOW be in a few selected Carolina Craftman’s Kits”

Hey it was 2 AM when I typed this out I should really start doing these when I’m awake.

Ooops cover that?
