OVERSEAS ORDERS (written 28th August 2015)
Today, I had a gentleman come into the shop to see if two posters I was buying for him had arrived. These were ordered approximately 6 weeks ago from overseas with my stock order for Marvel Comic posters. I pre-pay for all orders so have lost quite a lot of money if they are stolen in transit. I understand my customer being angry but I have tried to establish when they may be in Ballarat but the supplier simply sends me a consignment number and estimated date of arrival. I offered to supply the customer alternative posters that are available in Australia but he says he wants the ones he has chosen. (This is because they are different and more interesting than the local ones)
I would be so happy if I could supply his posters right now but can not get them anywhere other than from the overseas supplier. The Australian suppliers are limited in what they import so I go to overseas suppliers for posters that are different. Today I have decided I am just creating problems for myself and wasting money so in future will not take orders for overseas posters, I will buy some for stock but not put myself in a position where I can be abused as I was today.
I am very sorry to have to do this but in the long term will save myself a lot of trouble.
The internet is wonderful and there are many interesting prints and posters available to purchase on line, the problem quite often is the cost of freight. I never passed the freight cost for prints and posters on to customers.
The customer will most likely write a review on this site saying I am no good and don't go there. I am sorry for that because I have ordered the posters again for him and hope they arrive this time.
