    Online Raffle In Aid Of sedogrescue.co.uk

    No Cats and Canines is not a charity - I run regular competitions on my website and this time I thought why not let a dog rescue benefit this time. We are not connected with South East Dog Rescue - I simply chose them to receive any proceeds that our competition raises as they are local to us...

    A spate of returns

    The thing is he returned it within the 7 days. In fact he delivered it himself so he would be within the 7 days. I have changed my terms and conditions to state that no protective packaging must be removed until a decision has been made to keep the item. Not sure I could put it like that...

    A spate of returns

    Thats right. Thats what I think is a bit unfair, especially when they've used the item for 4 days, tell you "its just the job" and then it gets sent back covered in dogs hairs and I cannot resell it. Just have to put up with it I suppose :sigh:

    A spate of returns

    I am used to it but not in this high volume over a small period of time.

    A spate of returns

    I've had a few customers, over the last 3 months, returning goods simply because they changed their mind. I'm out of pocket for nearly £50 because I still have to pay the courier that I used to send them the goods. I have to give them a full refund which includes the cost of delivery. If...

    Pet Industry

    You can compete to an extent with the likes of P @ H online. They didn't even have an online shop until about 2006-7. Although they are always top of google UK. I think you have to sell niche products and not general products such as pet food. There isn't much of a markup on pet food for the...

    .com domain forwarding to .co.uk site

    I got the .com domain from Easily and they offer a web forwarding option and this points to my .co.uk site. I don't plan to sell outside of the UK so not too worried about that at the moment.

    .com domain forwarding to .co.uk site

    I've done a search for similar threads but the only ones I found were from 2005 and 2008 and things may have changed since then. I have a .co.uk site and the .com domain forwarding to the .co.uk site. I read a recent SEO article that this could affect rankings on google.

    Well done - I saw your tweet as the winners were announced on Sunday. I had a go but to no avail :( Must admit though my tweet was a bit boring.

    Article submission

    This is an interesting thread because this is what I'm currently working on. I've put a few articles on my own blog and website with a link back to my site and a couple on pet related article sites. However, one topic about waterproof dog beds I really wanted to write about but it had 100s of...

    First customer, were you excited?

    My first customer was a telephone order and I was nervous, my voice was a little shakey. Now I'm used to it.

    Advertising on a budget

    Local newspaper ads never work for me as I don't have the budget to place a huge advert which catch peoples eye. I've just put an A5 advert in various local shop windows and on their notice boards. You could try that? I noted your industry is web design? Are you looking to target home...
