Hi There.

Please we are looking for feedback to hopefully expand FlapArt around the world.  Check out our site at www.flapart.ca.  We are looking for input on:

• site design
• site ease of use
• site product visability

Any other feedback is appreciated.

Thank You

Brian and Michelle

Brian & Michelle, I think that your idea is very funny! I use to carry my EMS trauma bk. & open it at DMV or other crowded places to keep my elbow room.  Your idea is a great way to get people together & laugh.  I like it!  I hope it does well for you! 

Michelle & Brian,

Great product - serious fun - says a lot about y`all - just too funny.

I thought the shipping charge was a little high. 1 flap for $5.99 and the shipping to the U.S. was $6.50 - a little steep IMHO.

Maybe you should consider some offers to encourage people to purchase more than one. Buy 4, get 1 free or something like this.

thanks for the reply,

Shipping $  is a concern. We, after may tests, have to ship them in a tube, like a poster.  It is the only way to not crease the covers.  The bonus is that it has allowed a tremoundous gain to our valued partners who carry FlapArt in their stores.  We just need more stores.  

Side Note - Canada Post charges more to ship within Canada than international.  Therefore it costs us more to ship 20 miles away ve shipping to Australia - Figure that one out.

Thanks Again 

Yeh, I hear ya with the Canada Post thing...It`s cause the Canada is so big.  Like in any type of transportation business in Canada.  I can fly twice to Germany and back from Edmonton, for the same price as going one way to my Home town on the east coast.  It has all to do with the number of people or parcels you can get on your place or in your truck to pay for gas and wages and such.  If you have a trip that costs $100 and you have 2 parcels than the minimum the transport company could charge you without going out of business is $50 per parcel.  You stick 48 more parcels on that truck and each pacel than only costs the transport company $2 per parcel.

As for Canada Post and the Austrailia thing;  I guess that must mean we are Exporting much much more than we are using.

You push on your end, I`ll push on mine, and we`ll see if we can make Canada a bit narrower across the waist!  LOL

Understanding is half the battle!
