Hi turnarcades,

I just sent you E-mail.

Turnarcades:

Yes I'm afraid it's mainland UK only as we had to stop European delivery following some issues with couriers and UK customs, plus the delivery charges were astronomical and most interested European customers were either unhappy with the carriage cost or not confident about the safety of the cabinet. Maybe at some point in the next 12 months we can relocate and get another arrangement going but for now we are supplying to mainland UK only.

I've had a few designs now so will be compiling them to post here to get some feedback.

DeLuSioNal29:

I have a suggestion for the pictures.

You could probably do them yourself.  Just make sure that they are behind a black or white background so that it will be easier to digitally remove them using Photoshop.  This will save you some money and it will look professional.

Here's an example of what I mean.  I took these photos on a light beige carpet and used Photoshop to edit out everything else.

Thanks D, already addressed that problem though, and all future cabinets will be photographed better. Some users here already though have successfully been able to filter out the background from the existing pictures so hopefully they can re-work the existing images a bit when they build the site. I have some slightly higher-resolution photos of most of our cabinet designs so it should be a bit easier than using the small images from the existing site too.

Craig, it will almost certainly be worth your while investigating using a european-based company for such transactions. I had a quote from a UK company of (I can't remember but the ratio is right) £1,000 to ship a machine from the states. I got it here for $500 - rip off Britain.

And I would say to your sceptical customers overseas, if you pack it right, it'll be right.

I appreciate that's above and beyond the topic but it's worth looking into.
