Thanks for the support and well wishes guys, it's much appreciated! Only a week to go to the big move, so today I'm organising phone lines and an alarm system.
And you've now got a
load more room for a truly epic Coke Wall
I'm not sure what Dave would have to say about that...
The office will be improved dramatically with a 'Top Totty' wall
I'm not sure what my missus would have to say about that...
What general area will the new unit be in? I think i'll need to arrange a visit - maybe a few of us at the club might come down mob-handed.
Not thinking of opening a 'store front' at all?
The unit is down on a small industrial estate near Pendraken HQ, just off the A66. I've not actually got the postcode for it yet, but should have once we sign the papers next Monday. If you fancy popping down though, just let me know and I'll give you some directions.
No plans for a store front at this point, it's too expensive to get somewhere with any real footfall, or a better locale. A small 500 sq/ft shop unit on the edge of Middlesbrough town centre is around £12k rent per annum!
The new unit will be as close to a store front as it can be, with a customer area, some displays, seating and a table. We can cast orders as people wait as well.
...Looks like you've got toilets now as well
We do indeed, have you been chatting to one of our casters...
However, prices are my worst enemy (it often prevents me from ordering things I like).
Don't forget that the VAT will still be taken off for US customers, so the new packs will be £3.33 for you (£1.96 vehicles / £1.13 WWII infantry / £1.50 Fantasy).
SO WHAT DATE IS THE UNIT WARMING PARTY!!!!
Dave suggested doing something like that, but with Salute coming up, there's not a really ideal time for it. We do have the Birthday Bash in a couple of months though, so we could do something then while people are in the area? Maybe open up the unit after the event or the day after, for people to have a look around?
Just had a comparison of your new pices against Magister Militum, and in most cased they are 25% more expensive, but with cavalry because they only have 12 per pack its a whopping 55%
Ooooh, that's going to be SO cold in the winter, and those electricity bills, where's the wood burning stove going, and the business rates, overheads, *sucks teeth*
It warms up surprisingly quickly when you've got three burners and a vulcaniser all going! It might be a bit chilly in the winter, but we'll have a look at that when it comes to it.
Too bad the price increase, but nothing that was not expected, since it's all on the rise, ... less the wages.
I know, and we wouldn't do it unless we had to. If it's any consolation, the wages haven't gone up here either...!
Dont forget the visitors centre and gaming tables and full range cabinets and............................... LOL
One step at a time I think!
I'm not sure on the exact differences, but even with the 25% rate we lose out on shipping most non-EU orders. I think it only switches back in our favour when you get into the really big orders, hence the possibility of putting maximums in place. As an example, I've got a package here for Russia, about £40 worth, 1.6kg, and it's going to cost nearly £20 to send it!
Look forward to seeing you at Salute 2012.
Will do!
