It's the panels between the doors and the sails - they are black and the client wont allow SH .

It is the stainless steel!  Anyway I am out of the equation as it seems the courier screwed up and didn't deliver as they should have yesterday.  I think he has sorted it ???

I always worry when I go the extra mile!  I made the courier wait  Tuesday afternoon whilst we wrapped and packed his samples for Next Day Delivery and two days later he still hadn't got it!  However his statement of "Your Courier Screwed Up" didn't help!  I did my bit !   ;D

I wasn't going to say anything about this.

I certainly don't blame you.

Parcelforce rang me yesterday morning, as you know I'd been on nights, had about 4 hours sleep. I told them I would get to the store so we wouldn't have the delivery rejected again, was there for 09.30 and just sat waiting, she had said mid morning.

At 4pm I'd had enough, did the sample with Tensid's Cladex AC, wiped on with a cloth and rinsed off, it came up really well.

I left the store to go and do another last minute job in Bristol at 17.30 - still no delivery.

I am obviously annoyed, I know you had got the samples out in good time, I wouldn't have expected anything less but at my end I had Sainsbury's decision makers waiting for the test areas and I could only give them one area.

Anyone who wants to chime in with a comment of 'should have ordered sooner' doesn't know the environment, these were down to be washed off and spray painted but that got cancelled the day before.

When I go back to the store next week the decision will have already been made, expecting the costs to go in today and confirmation by Tuesday next week so out of time on the products supplied by yourself

I'm at the store doing the initial clean off across the cladding, two/three days, there are parts you cannot see and then back to the beginning with either a cloth on or low pressure spray application of the SS cleaner and rinse off.

I'm certainly not going to fall out with you about it, least of all publicly but your courier service let you down, I don't think they even attempted the delivery the previous day because when I asked no deliveries had been rejected at customer services.

The excuse that he didn't deliver because it didn't say Sainsbury's supermarket on the parcel goes against trying to deliver it and it being rejected - laughable and I would be changing service providers if I had unhappy customers and they were costing me sales.

Scott -

Rearrange - kricp!!

I get your point but sadly our couriers deliver 99% of all parcels correctly and promptly and that's not bad considering we send out on average around 425 parcels a week with them.  In the great scheme of things there are around 3-4 mistakes/breakages/non deliveries per week but I can't find anyone better.  It is always important ones that go wrong but that is Sods Law and I like every other company in the U.K. have to live with it.

My website is only one of many ways I get work and from that is only a very small % of new works and new clients.

Being able to convert sales from existing clients is the mainstay of the business.

I'm working on something at the moment that is back to paper, printing & good old Royal mail (if it gets there)

I've just, this afternoon, got the go ahead on works at one of the largest B & Q's in the country, starting  the week after next and lasting for 3 weeks that will take me nicely to my winter holiday in the sun.

I like a fresh view on the website, Simon Evans has pointed out some of the immediate problems that have been ignored because of work commitments.

Can you list the errors without being an idiot ?

I know there is a picture missing and it isn't optimised for mobile viewing.

Save your money...most don't know what they are doing and will empty your pockets on  SEO you don't need.
Make sure your name address tel number is absolutly identical on all the major information aggregators. ie the name address on your website needs to be exactly the same as your facebook,google,twitter,directorys acc.

I use Linkedin now, I posted on there the other day. When I had the website built I didn't see the value of linking it, I don't use Facebook and probably never will.

Linkedin is more professional and I have connected with a client on there this afternoon.

When I do a new blog on there I can see from WP analytics the quality and what you say about the word count always comes up but I like to keep the blogs visual rather than explanatory, hopefully the photos do the work there.

For anyone reading this - get a blog on your website and have administrative access to use it - shows how current you are.

I am going to have it mobile friendly and will get the rest looked at.

Added after your last post.

I can do a lot on the website but there are things that I am happy to pay for.

I am fortunate that the company who built the website aren't idiots and do know what they are doing so I have confidence that it wont be wasted money.

I haven't spent any money on the site for a while so it is due.
