Completely messed up launching my corner blocks on Amazon. They are taking £8.14 in fees!. After manufacturing cost, Postage & Packaging, Vat and tax there isn’t much point so It feels like the last 6 months have been a waste, or has it.
First off I really want to thank each an every one of you that ordered, it means a lot. Both Magnetic and standard corner blocks are now out of stock wow that’s over 100 pairs gone!. There are still about 35 people that haven’t received yours yet and that’s because amazon ship stock to different parts of the uk so they can do one day delivery so just sit tight if you haven’t got yours just yet, apologies for that.
I should have just launched them on my website where I have limited stock now. I have 35 standard block, 12 magnetic and 18 standard in white color so if you want to get yours visit https://cromptontool.com/products/crompton-corner-block-with-integrated-line-pin-holder.
This is the trouble when you try new things and can’t afford help from anyone because the cash flow isn’t there. It’s a massive struggle trying to make the right decisions and when it goes wrong it’s all about the lessons learned. Amazon is awful for small products because of high fees so I will just sell through my websites until I make a few more products I can bundle together.
Thanks again for the support everyone it means a lot. To draw the positive, its such a big achievement to think of a product, design it, manufacture it and bring it to market all by myself, its no small feat to do that so I’m still made up. Just need to tweak a few things till I get it right. Can’t knock a lad for trying I will always keep producing despite what happens. All the best, Stu.
