ModeratorMy casters just announced they are not casting for potentially 2 or more weeks, as such there may be a 3 week delay on shipping any metal orders.
There may be enough stock to last me, or there may not, depends on what orders come in.
Many apologies.

ModeratorPotential magazine delay.
Due to some events outside my control, I am struggling with creating.
This means that there may be a delay with issue two of the magazine.I am hoping not, as next week is half term and hopefully I will be in a better place to be creative/productive.
I will keep you posted and sorry if there is a slight delay.

ParticipantLife happens, no biggie.
Half term? Like a semester break?

ModeratorThe last year has seen a steady decline in sales of the resin items.
In the last few months the cost of shipping to the USA has increased by such a factor that almost all sales to the USA have stopped.
The majority of resin sales come from the USA.This has had a massive impact on the business.
I have been deciding what to do about the resin side of the business for a while, the moulds take up a lot of space as does the vacuum chamber and resin bottles etc.
So it is with some regret that the resin range is no longer available.
I have removed them from the shop area of the site.The pages are still online with buttons, but are hidden.
IF you do stumble across the resin pages, please be aware that no sales of resin items will be honoured and a full refund will be made.For now the figures are still very much available and can be found in their usual home.

ParticipantOh dang, that’s a real shame. I am sure it has more to do with the swing in genre interest, and interest will come back around. (especially if a new movie or TV series comes about)

ParticipantThat is a huge shame – I’d been dithering about putting an order in as well. Will have to buy more figures instead!
Is Crom’s Forge a resin piece as well?

ParticipantYou could try to sell the molds to someone in the USA.

ParticipantSad to hear, but understandable and not entirely out of the blue. If it’s not too forward to ask, do you think you’ll still be expanding the range of figures?

ParticipantCould you subcontract the resin casting to anyone?

That is the plan, though my primary sculptor has quit sculpting which is a bit of a bind.
Could you subcontract the resin casting to anyone?
Not sure I see how that would make it cheaper to ship?
18/11/2020 at 22:34 #147083Andrew Beasley
ParticipantIf most of the sales are off-shore then create new masters and ship from two / three locations?
Do not know your sales figures (and would not ask) – just an idea.

I’ve always to dive into the Conan universe. I bought some 15mm Hittites long ago with that in mind, to serve as city forces somewhere in the South or East. Perhaps now it’s time to give it a whirl.

It confuses and upsets me that my wife can have all manner of small furniture and bulky household art junk shipped free to her from China to Texas, but people in the US can’t get reasonable shipping rates from the UK, historically our very closest ally. Even from ebay sellers. Mind boggling.

KeymasterThe figures are mostly not too bad, especially if I can get them in a padded envelope.
Just yesterday I posted some figures to the US for £5.00But buildings were just bonkers, at least £20.00 and that could be for a £5.00 building.
£40 or £50 was not uncommon on orders of £100 or so.So postage to the US had seen my US sales drop by about 70% and now the EU Tax means my sales of everything there will cost customers more, so EU sales are dropping off.
Last month Crom’s Anvil took £134.00 in sales, and of course that is not £134.00 in profit. I probably pocketed about £80 of that.

Being resin rather than metal, postage outside of the UK should be pretty ok too.
