HI Guys!

Sorry for all the problems with our site. Here's the story.

We have had some problems with some unsavory web designers and hosts. We were held hostage by two web designers and over the past 7 years I've paid over 15,000 on my website. Yes 15k. The problem is when you have someone host your site and they get greedy then you're screwed. They can shut you down indiscriminately. I've finally found a solution with another developer and I'm hosting the site on godaddy which I own the rights to.

We switched to a simple shopping cart and low and behold the shopping cart does not allow for weight based shipping! Why? I have no idea. But if you order from us now I had to create rules on percentage based shipping. So now the shipping can come out to be very high for a small order, but we will refund your money!

Because of this we are switching to another shopping cart. The third in the past four months. Hopefully this one will work better for us.

Thank you all for your patience. I promise to keep everyone posted on the goings on with my site once the bugs are worked out. In the mean time, I just made another large order with Dayacom for a new type of ballpoint kit that looks nice (hopefully).

Talk to you all soon!
Aaron
