Gosh in the USA I can't even pay ebay & paypal fees and ship them this cheap. At best they can only be making $0.01 per item. I wonder if  Singapore subsidizes the shipping ?

Personalized ornaments! Just have to watch, it can be tricky putting flat vinyl on a rounded surface. 

 

i have had a few requests for those but i turned them down just for that reason.

Had a customer ask me the other day are the cutting boards dish washer safe? :huh:???

 

Best to instruct buyers that they're only hand washable.

I tell mine only hand wash but if they are anything like the tumblers, I put mine In the dw all the time. vinyl still on it. BUT , hand wash is better for longevity.

When they have a problem 1 time they start reconsidering local people. I am redoing an order now for someone who ordered online and the color was wrong, after waiting 2 weeks.

I tried carrying american made shirts cause everybody was bitching about overseas this and overseas that. They wouldn't pay the difference so back to the offshore shirts.

where are 90 percent of the heat presses made that are sold now - guessing not many bought new ones from knight or hotronix (US manufactures on their first ones.  I agree with buy american but so many do not . .  .heck where are the cheap plotters made . . .  not the US and not japan . . . we just keep supporting their economy no matter what we personally preach - when it comes to money the buy us seems to fly right out the window

Ornaments with the vinyl on a transparency inside seem to be a big hit this year.

Not a great picture original.jpg

Another idea I did was take the logo for all my good repeat customers and put it on cutting boards and gave em out as business to business Christmas gifts.

I cut the clear transparency the diameter or the ornament.  Cut my vinyl design, apply to the transparency then  roll up the transparency and slip it into the ornament.  It usually unrolls on it own and looks like it it floating.
