Reluctant Change To Postal Structure (and Prices)
In the last three months, more than 10 packages have gone missing in the post.
They simply do not arrive at their destination, and the law requires me, the seller,
to ensure delivery - ergo - if your package does not arrive - I have to replace or refund
the missing items. In the first place, we are talking about unique, one-off pieces of wood
and items of art. In the second place, we are talking about eroding my very modest profit
margin, making my losses unsustainable. I am not in this to make a killing and then retire,
I am here to build up a long-lasting business which will last you your knife-making lifetime;
and long-lasting business relationships which will last me my selling lifetime. Nothing damages
these relationships more than a purchase that just does not arrive.
The amount lost in the last three months has caused my business to make a loss for 7 weeks in a row.
This is unsustainable,
and so I have reluctantly taken the decision that EVERYTHING I now sell has to travel by recorded delivery.
This means an additional 75p on every order, so I hope that you will respond and make multiple purchases
at the same time and save the money on postage charges. Sorry about this. It is either do this or
shut up shop - which I don't want to have to do!
I trust I will have your support in this, and continue to enjoy the unique and very special product and service
that I try to offer.............. Jean

Massive number of hours to make the webshp go live with kinfescales and knife related things - this was due to eBid and eBay banning the work knife from their site. Overnight my e-businesses were trashed, and despite appeals, they would not allow my wood to be listed as related to a knife. Zencart did not do what I wanted it to do, and so this web shop and website www.knifescales.co.uk were born.
