Mac you and Mrs Mac never fail to amaze... Since converting our distillery to FSD, you have supplied me with the gear and service which has taken our little distillery to a level of production and quality we always dreamed we might achieve. I have watched as you continually improve your gear and now your shop. Your perserverence and eye for design and detail are rewards we all reap. Congratulations on the new store. It is testament to your pursuit for excellence. Cheers.
Doc

Thanks for all the positive comments guys :D

I still have a fair bit to do as far as the store goes, I think I've got most of the popular products in there now though & will be adding more daily.

The old store will be closed tomorrow, I'll be making the new one easy to find once I get a few URL issues and domain names sorted :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers.

I dunno mate, I had them before and nobody wanted to pay the price for them because you can get all the bits for SFA if you know where to look, I ended up giving them away free :))

From Mac's point of view, electrical appliances like this which are essentially someone wiring things together in a box, can have some liability issues. It's not worth it to take on such liability from a commercial stand considering it would only be an 'extra' to an already successful business venture...(in my opinion).

OK,

I've been adding new products daily and rearranging things a bit in the web store, as well as working on getting better rates for our international customers...

I think the set up is ok with everything in it's own category, maybe just a couple of sections I need to tidy up before adding the rest of our products and it's all but done for the bits you guys can see. :happy-partydance:

Once I get the big bulky heavy items postage costs worked out it'll be easier, but for now if you're ordering larger/heavy items and get knocked back at the checkout just hit the contact button & I'll sort it out manually for you.

Judging by the activity through the new store everyone's finding it much better, and we'll be working towards improving things all the time of course.

Cheers,

Mac

Hey mate,
The 4" SSG that's $1530 in your store, does that have the 'screw on sight glasses'?,
Its hard to see in the picture but it looks like it does
