    Have the car tax changes been publicised enough

    And this is the outcome of it not being publicised enough. I was in the same boat and thought "oh bugger my car tax is going to fly up". Only when i decided to research it further did i understand it was for cars registered post 1st April which was a relief, but it proves there is not enough...

    Business in Australia

    Thanks! Will try there. And of course! Luckily the side business is generally from home at the minute so i can put it down at any time and pick it up again later on. On a separate note - My Office In China - could we have a separate discussion around what you offer? Could you drop me an IM...

    "Likeness"

    Thanks all for the replies - at least i now have a starting point on which to expand! What if there were a disclaimer on the product if we have a caricature with the disclaimer saying something along the lines of "This caricature is a lookalike and does not actually represent or is not endorsed...

    "Likeness"

    Hi, I believe this may be the right place to post this as i believe it may come under legal? What are the rules (if any) about selling a product with someones face on it? For example if we wanted to sell a product with your (the readers) face on it, i am assuming we have to get your...

    Any recommended shipping services

    Well they are being posted with "crush proof" boxes.. with bubble wrap in there as well.. Just small sized boxes really. There isn't really any room for moving around in the box with the bubble wrap and the size of the box

    Ahh that sounds better. We are not quite at that volume of sending items yet - but i think the second class royal mail small package was around 2.80 to send which is not too bad either.. Also yes it is from our own site so its not SO strict on tracking

We have sent out items, boxed, bubble wrapped, but have already had customers contacting us that their parcel has arrived smashed / chipped upon delivery. We are primarily selling novelty mugs at...

    Taking Payments

    Thanks i will bear that in mind. The other partners seem pretty keen with going with Natwest still at the moment so going to give it the benefit of the doubt - the forms are sent off.. God knows now.. But one of the points that the Business Manager brought up was that they can get good deals...
