    USB Flash Drives

    Hi Thanks for sharing What would be recommended for long term permanant storage eg for family photos which I am sure would apply to a lot of us on here who are not keen on uploading such personal items to a cloud or similar. I used to use DVDs dual layer and CDs before this. I think this...

    At what point do courier losses just become a cost of doing business?

    Depending on who you book with, and your relationship, compensation claims, I have found can be dealt with very quick and easily, subject to being able to obtain images of damage for example Sadly its just part of selling things online and I factor it into the price charged for postage, in a...

    Do you struggle to get through to the Carriers to chase your deliveries?

    Sadly I don't think or know of anyway that this is going to end. If youve ever had an EVRI or My Hermes delivery youll know all too well how bad deliveries can be. Delivery drivers are human with a stressfull time sensitive job, and companies can be under strain so I understand how things can...

    Legal action against my business : Intellectual Property Design breach

    The goods I buy generally, are from resellers who most likely obtain from other resellers. I have tried to find out this information in regards to any new, unrelated, goods that I intend on buying- to avoid other products being problematic - but was told by these resellers that they are unaware...

    Do you struggle to get through to the Carriers to chase your deliveries?

    Most delayed parcels usually, for me, turn up the next day. It happens from time to time, and it usually pretty easy to spot from the online tracking. I don't chase the courier as I know there's nothing they can do and it's not worth the time. Only if they get lost of course then there is an...

    Hi I read about something similar if not the same?, as an i.p case, regarding LONDON ENGLAND hoodies and Posh Fashion? Worth a google. Are your contact details upto date, eg addresses of principle place of business, registered business address etc? If you answer some of the questions people...

    Legal action against my business : Intellectual Property Design breach

    I'm not sure of the actual main supplier or manufacturer as, from my understanding, the goods are often resold in lets say a 'chain', so I wouldn't be able to find out from higher up, if they have some sort of design rights in place to certify a 'kosher difference' in their goods vs the goods...

    QR codes - Do you have one, do you scan them?

    I would be wary scanning one (as I dont have much understanding of how the can flux capacitate you from the camera app to a website) especially one stuck on a wall or table or window etc. I would scan something I could see was from a reliable source, even then I would look for an alternative...

    Legal action against my business : Intellectual Property Design breach

    I haven't been in touch with them as of yet, I dont think they will want to know? I personally picked the items, having seen many other businesses selling them for years, so I really am at fault if the designs are too close to comfort. A tough lesson to learn sadly for me.

    Couriers/Shipping of Long Items in the UK - Diabolical Service - need recommendations

    The joining kit needs to be priority I would say. Maybe you make more sales at 3m x2 with joiner kit, due to more manageable goods for customer? Maybe they don't order as much as where is 6m long going in most residential properties? Maybe 3m could be collected from you if not already. I...

    Legal action against my business : Intellectual Property Design breach

    Thank you so much for your help. Ref goods : These are off the shelf goods manufactured in Asia, I am simply one of many resellers of these goods. They have listed myself and the company as two entities on the paperwork.

    Can I buy a product to test it – & claim as business expense?

    I edited my reply but perhaps was too slow to submit In my view, Buying 1 to test then buying more of the exact item sounds like a very realistic business move. You need a sample to try before you invest. The sample is used and not for resale, perhaps it gets damaged and disposed of.
