The Fitz Like A Glove Ironing Board Cover And Other Goodies
Simple Solutions For Difficult Problems
It’s the simple things that make people buy. Not the bells and whistles.
An email arrives Friday evening. Late. I answer it early Saturday morning.
The request is simple. Retail covers purchased by Trish have never fit her board. So she has always made her own.
This time is different. She’s very busy with a new business. And doesn’t want to take the time to make something if she can find a suitable product online.
It’s Christmas morning.
My only tradition at Christmas is to ring a few select. And very old. Special friends. Early in the morning. To wish them a Merry Christmas.
To get a head start before this, I’m up early. 3AM. To catch up on emails. And do whatever office and website housekeeping that needs to be done. To get it out of the way.
This email from my hosting company changes my day. And every day thereafter. For a month.
“We’re sorry to inform you that your website was hacked late on Christmas Eve. The hackers left code on your site that enables them to send spam emails to addresses on yahoo. We tried to stop this. But were unable to. Because of that, we’ve had to shut your website down. And take you off the internet. WordPress. And your theme. Are very unsafe. We will not allow you back on the internet until you upgrade your wordpress site. And change your theme. In spite of this, we hope you have a Merry Christmas.”

G'day from 'The High Country' in rural Victoria.
Thank you for visiting my website. I love that you're here.
Your participation in my rural business is a dream come true. One of the highlights of my life.
Whenever I visit a new website. I always want to know how much postage and handling is.
So upfront. Our flat rate postage and handling charge is $16.95 per parcel.
Regardless of how many items you put in your parcel. Or where you are located within Australia.
We live and work from our remote rural property in 'The High Country' of Victoria.
In the picturesque foothills of the Victorian Alps.
All parcels are despatched via Australia Post.
Our post office is in a remote location. So we post parcels once a week.
We hope you understand how the tyranny of distance affects a business that is in a remote, rural village.
We post parcels on Thursday. From orders received by 3pm on the day before. Wednesday. And send you an email to let you know your parcel is on its way.
For our international customers, please check with Customs in your country to see if they impose extra charges on your parcel once it enters your country.
For my UK customers. It's with regret that I will be unable to continue to post parcels to the UK. The new requirement from the UK is that VAT be collected by all online merchants when an order is placed. And paid to the UK before your parcel leaves Australia. As well as. Calculate the duties payable on your parcel. To be able to complete a customs declaration. Unfortunately. I'm too small a company to justify the infrastructure required to do this.
Every Thursday. From our rural alpine village. We post orders received by 3PM on Wednesday.
We then send you an email to let you know your parcel is on its way.
And we hope you love everything in your parcel. ~Carol❤️
