    Those pop up stands?

    Good question! The fabric stands are designed for indoor use only. You would have to push the stand over quite a long way before it would topple. In that respect, there is no significant difference between these stands and the older magnetic pop ups. We have customers who use these stands...

    Those pop up stands?

    The stands with the criss/cross collapsible frames are called pop up stands. They have been around for 20 Years or so and have changed very little. They have been widely replaced now by newer, tubular frames that support one piece fabric graphics. With the old pop up stands you have to manually...

    Hello Hello! Nice to meet you!

    Wow, that is a cheap price. Selling the stands for less than £29 (plus the vat) is a bargain! Doing the maths, the stands (I guess you are using cheap ones) are costing you perhaps £10 each delivered. Unless you are printing on a big, industrial machine you have £3 in ink? Then unless you are...

    Parcel 2 Go Help

    No next day courier service is fail-safe although from experience, most are 99% reliable. If you need a cast-iron guarantee that something is going to arrive then really you have to consider driving it point to point directly with a same day van and swallowing the cost. Parcel 2 Go are a broker...

Normally the supplier will charge for the product(s) and the shipping with courier and you can receive the samples in a week or two to check them. With regards to getting products QC checked, we recently organised for a...

    Buying from China

    Hi Danny, If you are dealing with a new supplier in China, I would recommend starting off small and build volume for orders gradually. Always best to get samples and pay the courier cost so you can check them thoroughly. Of course, there are no guarantees that the order will be as per samples...

    No more Ford Transits ?

    Yes, they are cheap as chips! The Vauxhall Vivaro is a decent alternative to the Transit, also same van available from Renault and Nissan too. Had ours for a couple of years and never misses a beat.

    Buying from China

    China is full of fake goods so be careful. I was in China only a few Months ago and I visited one of the big indoor markets on the underground line, known for fake goods. If the prices are cheap, goods are probably fake!
