04.03.10 - We've been asked a few times over the last few weeks "what colour children's hoodies can you supply?".  So here we go, we can supply the following colours:   Black, White, Sport Grey, Ash Grey, Light Blue, Light Pink, Gold (deep orangey yellow), Kiwi Green, Purple, Red, Navy, Royal Blue, Forest Green, Maroon, Bright Royal, Classic Red, Bottle Green, Sky Blue, Burgundy, Light Oxford (grey), French Navy, Heather Grey. 

09.02.10 - When is a marketing ploy not a marketing ploy?  Answer - When we tell you that we're really busy and that you should book your slot now.  Here's how it is.  We're a small company (getting smaller but that's another story) and there's only so many hours in the day for us to print.  If it's just the odd t-shirt or plaque or something we can usually have it printed next day.  When it's quite a few items expect to wait a bit longer.  There's a common misconception that if you order more of something they'll be ready a bit quicker.  Afraid not.  If you're after 30 t-shirts for a hen night it's no good turning up to order a couple of days before you need them.  In the past we would've managed to do it somehow, but not anymore.  Customers come back year after year, not because we're cheap (although we appreciate cost is a factor with a lot of people) but because they appreciate the high quality of service we deliver.  With so many returning customers there's less time available for new customers.  We want your business but we'll not take on a job unless we know we can give it 100%.  If you feel you may want something done in the next few months drop us a line.  Tell us what you want and when you need it.  We'll get back to you as soon as we can and let you know what we can do. 

 

27.01.10 - We've been asked a few times and the answer is yes, we do stock hooded t-shirts.  They're available in 7 colours in all adult sizes.  Have I mentioned we're on Facebook? 

23.01.10 - It's that time of year again, orders for 2010 leavers hoodies are already starting to come in.  If you're interested in getting some done drop us a line for a quote; we can print whatever you want on any colour, any style, any size.  Oh yes and if you're interested we've added more t-shirts this morning.  See if you can spot them. 

 

13.01.10 - Normal service is resumed.  Apologies to everyone for the disruption in service our closure has caused. 

11.01.10 - Nearly back to normal, well as normal as we can be.  We opened again on Saturday but unfortunately everything was frozen.  This morning when opening up the shop we discovered what happens when frozen pipes thaw.  Things aren't that bad though, it just means the shop's a bit topsy turvy at the moment.  Hopefully after the plumber's been we can resume normal play.

 

07.01.10 - Unfortunately we will not be open today as planned.  Even if we could get somebody into the shop we couldn't guarantee that they would be able to get home.  Watch this space for further developments . . . 

 

24.09.09 - CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR OPENING TIMES 

We will be open as usual until 2:00 Thursday December 24th.

We will then re-open at 12:00 on Thursday January 7th.

Under no circumstances will we be opening on Christmas Day for the collection of goods.  This deeply annoyed some customers last year but we hope you appreciate our stance.  

 

23.09.09 - Many thanks to everyone for your cards and kind words.  The last few weeks have been very difficult but we feel ready now to start trading again and will therefore re-open our Poets Walk shop this Saturday, September 26th.  Over the coming months we will be making changes to the running of the business, these will be well advertised and will in no way detract from the quality and value we feel we have always offered.  The first such change is a shortening of our opening hours.  On a Wednesday and Saturday we will now close at 12.30.

Thanks once again for your patience and understanding.

29.08.09 - Due to bereavement we will be closed for the foreseeable future.  All current orders will be processed.   

 

13.07.09 - On Monday August 10th and Tuesday August 11th our Penrith store will be closed.  Online orders will be unaffected.  

 

12.06.09 - On Saturday June 27th and Monday June 29th our Penrith store will be closed.  Online orders will be unaffected. 

 

13.05.09 - Sorry folks but from Monday June 1st we will be increasing the price of our mugs to £8.45 each.  This still represents great value for money.  Where else can you get a quality ceramic drinking vessel, with a handle and room for liquids, for such a great price?  Yes, that's right.  Stop being so tight fisted. 

(To those who took offence to the above we apologise.  The reason for the price increase was our higher p+p costs.  Please be aware there are many other companies online who offer a similar service to ours.  You are under no obligation to order from us.)  Added November 09

We're now into our busiest period so apologies to anyone with bulk orders who we haven't been able to fit in.  Our Penrith store will be closed in the middle of April (see contact details) to allow us to catch up.

Thanks for your patience.

Leavers (or any other) hoodies.  We regularly get asked how much for a bulk order.  The answer is, it all depends . . . .

As a rough guide, 75 adult heavyweight hoodies (good quality, none of the budget kinds with side seams), printed with whatever you want, would be £12.50 each.  Kid's ones about £10.50 each.

Hope this helps.
