They improved the shipping...

Image
I like what our store contractor, Zoovy, did about the shipping method selections… You still select a method early in the process, but now there is a display of all of the available shipping methods and prices for your specific weight and destination, on the screen after you put in your address. Laid out in front of you, instead of a drop-down box. See green arrow below.  

Shipping can be cheaper!

Tired of overcharges on shipping? It’s hard to set up a perfect shipping algorithm, sometimes our cart “charges too much”. So here’s an idea: Put the phrase “Refund Excess Shipping” in the comments part of your order, and any shipping charge that exceeds actual postage, will be refunded. Suppose I should put some “fine print” to that; #1 Not valid on prior orders #2 Offer may be withdrawn at any time. (I’ll come back and make a note here if we do) #3 Offer void where prohibited. I always see that in newspaper contests and whatnot, where is this place that prohibits offers? Sounds like a drag.

All shot up... A bullethole gag

Image
Our Bullet through the window gag works even better in bunches, because really, who only fires one bullet? Now 88 cents when you get two or more.

Itch not!

Itchy people, take heart. We have the xtra fancy metal extendo backscratcher , extends to 20 inches(!) - As low as $4.44 (for 2 or more)

Heartless Mr. Cunningham

I just caught a snippet of an old "Happy Days" episode... Mr. C is being cross-examined by Richie (All of a sudden he's a lawyer?) - at some community hearing about putting an offramp in and destroying "Inspiration point". Richie asks, "Do you have a family, Mr. Cunningham?" He responds, "I have a wonderful wife, a lovely daughter, and a smart-Alec son". So why wouldn't he mention Richie's older brother, Chuck, only seem in the early episodes? I had assumed that he was away at college, or in the Army? In either case, one would think Mr. C would mention him. That's why I think Chuckie died, or was disowned for some reason. Maybe he went to work for Ace Hardware, or some other big chain store. That would just about kill Howard.

Even belly buttons need maintenance

Image
I hesitated to get these belly button brushes , they look like something Barbie would use to clean her toilet, like she ever did any housework. But it's a fun gag item, a great stocking stuffer or geocache swag (google it!)

The last thing she gave me

Image
I had a customer inquiring about these stupid cussing, insulting parrots that we used to carry, they are surprisingly hard to find, all the usual sources were out of stock. we got a dozen, that's usually not a good plan because 1 or 2 always get confiscated for "product testing". It's annoying to have the bird saying "(tweeet) Hey you! Go F yourself! (Skwaawk)" when I'm on the phone.
