Ok I’m shutting up shop, It’s been a pleasure over the past 5 years!
It started out as a forum thread and evolved into a website selling multi-nationally! Some countries I’ve sent to even the post office had to look up!
It was always just a small business/hobby to make some extra pocket money, but due to other commitments I just don’t have the time to work on the site anymore.
There will be no closing down sale as I will keep the parts and still be doing builds for people if requested. I’ll still be experimenting and building in my spare time, so may still post/sell on my instagram account.
I’ll keep it Short and sweet. But thanks everyone who has placed an order/s with me, I’ve enjoyed it!
My email / PM will still be active so if you need builds or parts then I’ll still be about.
Sorry to hear that. Expanding a bussines/hobby can be very involving, and at some point you realise that you are not a Chinese acrobat (so to speak). It takes (too) much effort to keep all those plates spinning and the moment comes you will have to make a choice. You have made that choice. So: don’t look back, you’ll miss what’s in front of you.
Thanks everyone! I’ve tried my hardest to give the best customer service possible, no machines, no receptionists/secretaries. Every question/problem/query has been handled by me, faulty items were replaced free of charge and torches under warranty were fixed within a few days, unlike some manafacturers where you wait months.
I’ve tried to treat you guys the way I wanted to be treated by other companies.
I’m still around and my Email is still active.
The website closing just means I won’t be keeping stock on hand. If you want a light I’ll have to order it in, then mod, then send out. So there will be a longer wait.
I won’t be doing many “small parts” orders. As some days it was costing me more for packaging and the post office trip than the order was worth.
Anyone needs anything let me know! Just through email not on the website!
Nitches like this are the hardest to make a go of, especially for good people that care about the customer and products they deliver. I hope you can find an alternative model that allows you the keep doing what you enjoy.
