This morning I put in the order for the leather bar wrap on the Harness
Shop's message machine. Remember I mentioned that were Amish? Well, they
don't answer their telephone...they take the messages off it once a day and
call customers back. The Father and owner, Mark, by nature of his senior
position leaves this distasteful chore to Joel, his son.
At any rate, I thought I might get maybe a half dozen orders on this second
order from the CR List. Well folks, I have ordered for more than 40 people
and some of them wanted over a hundred bucks worth of it. At any rate we
now have a couple of thousand dollars of the stuff ordered. Honey was the
two to one favorite order with dark brown lagging behind in a distant third
place. All this is on my Visa card and I am understandably nervous. I will
have to request that those paying with PayPal when the order comes in get
out their calculators and add the 3.5% that PayPal charges me for the
transaction.
I'll keep you folks posted as I hear more about delivery time or any
variation in the cost (remember this is all made from scratch custom stuff
and some negotiation is present at every order). Be patient with me on
this, as I am not an an accountant nor am I set up in any way for the
unexpected volume of all this and I am staggering around a bit with it.
We are probably looking at least three weeks out with this and possibly
more. I Imagine the harness makers will be astounded at this size of all
this, too!
