POSTAGE

Yes, I know postage is high. Thank the US Postal Service that has raised rate twice a year for the last several years and guess what they go up again in January 2023. Poor business practices on their part is costing all of us a ton of money in postage, even with a $6,000,000,000.00 (that’s $6 billion) gift from the taxpayer they still can’t seem to turn a profit. So as a result I’ve had to up postage to $4.25 domestic and this is often LESS than the actual postage cost depending on the zone. For small sellers like myself selling low cost item it is difficult to do business when postage is high than the item itself. I do offer cheap stamped postage on decals, but I will mail this with the condition that the liability is on you, if it is lost with tracking I’ll replace it, if it is lost with stamps only I do not. Luckily most all package do make it.
Sorry for the rate increase but thank the USPS for that.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to an on going issue with the vision in my right eye and a little in the left causing extreme light sensitivity I am currently not doing or taking any new custom orders, the store remains open as I have family helping me that. But until this yet to be diagnosed problem is solved (6 trips to the eye doc so far) I can only spend a few minutes in front of a screen before irritation and head aches sets in … think of it as being snow blind. Pretty bad when the Ophthalmologist is stumped and that’s a quote “I’m stumped.”
So I’m sorry to the many people that have requested custom models and and decals in the past month, believe me I’d rather be doing that than dealing with this. Hopefully a upcoming trip to a specialist will yield some answers.

Thanks Dave

I’m ending the Newsletter for a while …

I’m halting the newsletter for a while as the cost just keeps increasing and as of now it’s not worth it. I guess if I had to marketing team to set around and make flashy newsletters all day to send out it’d be worth it but I don’t so it’s not.

I’ll be looking for a new service as I get time at which time I’ll resume to the newsletter, I’ll still be having sales and announcement they’ll just be limited to my social media pages and here. Many of you know I’m expanding the shop and as of right now I have very little time to do much of anything.

Anyway that’s it … I’ll still have sales you’ll just have to be on the look out for them here or social media like Facebook.

Thanks Dave

SHOP EXPANSION

In order to better serve you I’m adding on the shop in hopes of being better organized and have more room to make more new stuff, the things I offer may be small but in quantity they take up a lot of space. Hopefully it won’t take a long time but I am doing most of it myself and the sticker shock is something else. I know why wait until everything is sky-high, well I figure it’s not going to get any cheaper and it take me awhile to bite the bullet and peel off the funds needed to do it.
So please bear with me as I might not be taking a lot of custom orders or developing much new stuff while this is going on, I’m trying to divide my time between the two fairly, but I’m not 20 years old anymore and when I get done with one I’m about too tire to do the other, especially since I get up early and try to work on the expansion before it gets blistering hot which is always in in the south during the summer months.
So thanks in advance for your understanding if I’m a little slow getting to the phone and replying to your messages or emails I’m trying to keep up the best I can.

PAYMENT CHECK OUT UPDATE

I’ve install an improved (I hope) check out system that will allow you to check out via Credit Card directly from the check out screen. you can still use Paypal, Paypal Credit, Check or Money Order. I haven’t fully tested it but so far it seem to work, kind of hard for me to test it since I can’t use the same account to check out that I’m paying to… so if you have any trouble at all, which I don’t think you will let me know. Thanks Dave

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

NOTICE: I can no longer provide tracking on International Letter Rate postage (mainly decals) Paypal has farmed out their shipping to ShipStation (they should have replaced the P with a T) – I’m looking for an alterative shipping source that does – in the meantime I will still ship internationally but it will be with postage stamps. Seem you can’t buy international letter rate postage with tracking at the post office either. (go figure) No politics – just FYI I’m no longer shipping to the Russian Federation and order will be refunded. Yes, I’ve shipped many orders there in the past.
