Shipping Changes
March 10th 2010
Unfortunately due to a
couple of selfish individuals we've had to modify the way in which all orders are sent out. Despite having managed to operate Spaz Stix UK for nearly 6yrs trusting customers to be honest with their orders, recently we've started having groups of people place orders and then shortly after ordering contacting PayPal and claiming they havent turned up, despite the fact that the estimated timeframe for delivery hasnt even passed. In doing so, despite having proof of sending the packages, with no tracking number to prove they've received it PayPal opts to side with the payee and makes a full refund.
Because of this im now forced to use a 'Signed For' service which increases the cost of EU shipping significantly, all because a couple of people wanted to steal free products and PayPal, typical of most modern companies, dont care less and go with the simple option.
UK orders are hardly effected, the increase in costs is minimal, however in the case of smaller orders EU shipping prices are more than double in price.
I can only appologise for the increases, however I cant keep sending orders out to people who abuse an honest system and lose stock/money as a result.
Spaz Stix catalog changes
June 21st 2009
Recently i was informed of some changes which would be taking place, and they've actually happened far sooner than i'd anticipated, and with it comes a mixture of good news and bad.
A couple of months back I was told the manufacturer of the plastic bottles was discontinueing the 1oz bottles, and after looking for new sources and consider other options, and the decision was taken to stick with the current supplier but move to 2oz bottles. After some negotiating with the various sources, considering the requirement for larger quantities in order to keep sufficient stock, and investing in longer-term quantities (ie 12mth instead of 3mth stock) we have been able to come up with a new pricing structure which should easily outweigh the negatives. We knew that in order to drop 1oz and only sell 2oz would require a significant saving for the customer, a 5-10% discount would be insignificant and would be unacceptable, but with the changes made within Spaz Stix, we feel we can now offer our customers the paints at a price we couldnt have done before.
All 1oz products while available will still be sold at their normal price, and once stock dries up they will be discontinued for the foreseeable future. Also, 2oz bottles will be sold where available, these will be sold for approximately 150% price
of a 1oz bottle, a saving of ~25% in total. For example:
1oz Mirror Chrome = £7.50
2oz Mirror
Chrome = £12.00, equivelent of £6.00/oz and a saving of £3.00.
At the moment, this change only effects 1 item, the Mirror Chrome is no longer available in 1oz, there are only a small number of products which a 2oz bottle will also be available, this is due to no further supplies of 1oz left in stock at Spaz Stix, so 2oz were sent, and any 1oz bottles available are in limited numbers. For most items, we have plenty of 1oz bottles, but in the future it can be expected that they will slowly filter out.
Stock level display
April 28th 2008
Added today was the ability to see whether the items being ordered were in stock, now you will only be able to add items into your basket if they are currently in stock. Stock levels are checked as frequently as possible, and hopefully a near fool-proof automatic stock level monitor will be created shortly, making the likelyhood of ordering an out of stock product extremly unlikely.
New website launched
April 26th 2008
After a long absense, the Spaz Stix UK website is relaunched with a brand new look and some much needed features added. In the short term future some additional features will be added to help providing better information to our valued customers, more long term we have some new areas we are developing with Spaz Stix Inc such as the Pro Painter Interviews and further site updates.
