Our First Test Order

Hello all. Well, as planned, last Friday night we ordered yarn from our own site. What a feeling! Kinda. Carol and her husband watched patiently as I placed the order. Kinda. They cringed when it wouldn't accept my St. Louis address in the UPS address verification feature. I made a note to turn it off. The same thing happened when it didn't charge any shipping. And again when we couldn't locate the order in the Merchant Administrator. I'm sure Carol and husband walked away whispering to each other and wondering what on earth I have been doing for the last year...:-)

So, I have a short punchlist. We'll get there. I figured out in my sleep one night that UPS has really good rates when the product doesn't have any weight...:-) Oops. This particular product didn't have the weight listed on their web site so I moved on without adding it. Live and learn.

This week went by in a blur.... OT at the regular J-O-B is rearing it's ugly head. I'll work more on the shopping cart this weekend and get as far as I can. I hope to get more product out there as well.

Till next time,

Sandy
