Online Store Update
Seen as paul is doing pretty well with the blog considering how computer illiterate he is (well that is according to paul) i feel its only fair that I give you an update on the progress of the online store.
The online store is nearly there its about 2 weeks behind schedule due to circumstances outside our control. Just ask Paul (if you dare) the story about merchant accounts, payment gateways and retail software.
I for one have learnt alot from this and am more than ever a firm believer of 'You get what you pay for' i say no more but paul knows what i mean lol.
Anyway... we are where we are and the focus is now purely back on the online store which i think could be ready within 2 weeks. I will upload a picture or two on how the online store is looking a little later so watch this space.

more delays
hi all,
just been replacing a couple of liners in the shop,so have not had any spare time to write,so this will be a short one,just to let customers know what is going on in japan,our friends in the nigatta areas of japan
have missed the effects of the recent tsunami and earthquake but are feeling
the ripple effect,in that some shipments are arriving about a week late,
our shipment which was due on the 23rd of march is now not arriving until the 30th march,this may cause a few problems with later shipments because
we only have 7 quaranteen units available at the moment,and we need to get all our stock in before it gets to warm in japan usually middle of may so we
will have to keep our fingers crossed and hope things improve for them quickly as they have had more than there fair share of bad luck from mother
nature,
regards paul

long time coming
It is 10-30pm on Sunday 6/3/2011,I thought i had better start writing in this blog,well truthfully i am sick of the earache i have been getting from my new web designer Neil,he is proving to be a real taskmaster it was his idea to get the blog off the ground,as he said if we tell all you pond keepers as it is in the world of us dealers,you will all come rushing with check book in hand and offer us massive amounts for our business so we can sit by the pool in Florida and think theres one born every minute [mugs in English]
On a serious note if it was that easy we would all be in the business and i could be sat here watching telly and not worrying if i had enough space in our quarantine systems for the new koi coming in or do i have enough money for my vat quarter or can i get the ponds in the shop revamped so as not to hinder the start of the koi season.
Its not all koi and blanketweed as you thought, anyway i can talk for England but that is not what this blog is about,it is about improving our hobby and giving you an idea of how we work in the industry and how we deliver to our fellow koi keepers.
As we progress i will drop in a few bits of humour about our exploits both in England and japan,just to show you we are human after all but for now with the help of Neil i have managed to find this blog, so i had better publish it before it disappears again as it is now 00-50 am on monday 7th march.
regards to you all
