New Print Shop!
Added 2022-02-08 20:28:11 +0000 UTCHi everybody! I wanted to let you know that I have a new print shop!
I’m in the process of moving away from Etsy, their platform has really been getting worse and worse lately so I’ll be moving my shop a little at a time. The first thing to make the jump is my collection of prints! This should also help with the insane shipping prices Etsy was charging. Let me know if you have any issues and I’ll try to figure it out with you! It will be a bit touch and go at the start but hopefully this is for the best!
I love you guys so much! Your kindness and support during this issue has made things so much easier.
Thank you!
Whiteley

Okay, I just hope it won't ever change. Does it able to save my card and shipping details at least so I don't have to type in every time?

2022-03-12 12:15:18 +0000 UTCThis is helping shipping for new large prints (not the usual 5x7), on Etsy it would charge 15 dollars PER item, here it’s just one charge for prints. I haven’t put anything else up yet, we will cross that bridge when we get there.

2022-03-12 12:12:33 +0000 UTCSorry I'm asking this much but it's a big change. And you kinda wrote in your post it'll help with the shipping prices but the shipping price was always 15 bucks for me, regardless if I bought 1 thing or multiple, it was never cheaper so finding out it'll be still the same feels like a big drop after reading your post and getting happy I'll be able to buy more in the future.
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 12:10:38 +0000 UTCI will post about everything here and on social media
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 12:03:56 +0000 UTCBut if you move from etsy completely and might be ones for the future they'll be available in your shop, right? Or somewhere else? Is there a way we can subscribe for mail notifications about new items so we won't miss new goodies in the shop?
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 12:03:08 +0000 UTCI don’t haven’t any books in the works currently.
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 11:55:29 +0000 UTCAh I didn't mean right now, but artists can make zine books, which are obviously heavier than prints or keychains so I wondering if the shipping price will be 15 usd too as everything else's as you just said? I once wanted to buy a zine from the usa but the shipping price was very bad, so that's something that can be deal breaker.
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 11:53:34 +0000 UTCThere are no physical books in my shop. All of the comics have “pdf” in the title. There is no shipping on these items because they will be emailed to you.
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 11:47:23 +0000 UTCAlso, does it give us the shipping time too? It'd be sucks to buy gift not arriving for time, shipping time variets based on the shipping method so it's something also important to see if the item is for gift.
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 11:47:16 +0000 UTCThat's ok I guess, but weird to be charged the same for a print as for a book, I thought shipping is weight based, it was always for me with my packages.
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 11:45:05 +0000 UTCNo, I cannot make that change unfortunately, the site will not allow changes like that but will convert if for you when you check out. Please assume that it is all usd for my site.
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 11:43:06 +0000 UTCI noticed on viewing an item there is only a $ sign beside the price but there are two country using dollars, so it's kinda confusing like that. Even if I guess you use usd, what if once you change from usd to cad which people who shopping from memory won't know? Or people who just finding your shop where will they know? I think that's a detail misleading like that.
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 11:41:36 +0000 UTCLiterally as soon as you add it to your cart it gives you that information before asking you to check out.
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 11:40:13 +0000 UTCIt shows up in the cart. It’s 15 dollars for everything international no matter where you are. I’m sorry if this change doesn’t work for everything but I can’t afford Etsy anymore and this is the only thing I can do.
Whiteley Foster
2022-03-12 11:38:20 +0000 UTCAlso, where we can save our data like shipping detail for future? And the site doesn't show shipping price or time when viewing an item, which would be essential for non americans, because shipping price and time is usually 3x or more of the item's price so most time the shipping price is what decides if I can buy an item or not. Without seeing the shipping price I'll not go through the long process of ordering and typing in all of my details just to be dropped flat at the last page when seeing the shipping price which I'm no way can afford alone, not just with the item's price. 😞
Gabriel Hale
2022-03-12 11:36:52 +0000 UTCIt's good to hear! But with etsy I could paid the custom fee when I paid for an item so it won't be stuck for weeks for going through custom and the fee process, so I hope your site will be able to do it as well, because shipping is already takes ages to arrive here and our custom fee process is even slower than that 🥺

2022-03-12 11:24:24 +0000 UTCGood luck with your shop ❤️ It already looks really good

2022-02-09 06:26:09 +0000 UTCAw, no worries. Thanks for trying.
Bec Smith
2022-02-09 02:57:08 +0000 UTCOf course! 💕
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-09 02:46:20 +0000 UTCI’m sorry! That’s just squarespace’s default setting, I can’t change it I’m afraid 😔
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-09 02:44:53 +0000 UTCI meant on the website, so that people don't get their hopes up about affordability. It happens so often, that currency conversion is the thing that kills an online order.
Bec Smith
2022-02-09 01:22:49 +0000 UTCYes prices will always be usd from me 😊
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-09 01:20:56 +0000 UTCHey Whiteley, just a small request - there's quite a few countries (including Australia) that call their currency dollars, so it'd be sweet if you could please specify that prices are in USD not local currency. Please and thank you! 💙

2022-02-08 23:20:29 +0000 UTCGood luck with the move, I’m really hoping Etsy doesn’t cause itself to self destruct trying to be greedy, I rely on it so much for craft stuff living in the middle of nowhere but it’s prices are getting ridiculous. New shop looking great already, really easy to buy from, just finally purchased copies of all your comics ❤️

2022-02-08 21:44:44 +0000 UTCOh, that's great! ☺️ And I wasn't worried about you so much as just the general Internet safety void! 😂😂 But if this is a platform you've used and trusted for a while already, then I trust it!!

2022-02-08 21:02:20 +0000 UTCThat's so exciting! I'm looking to move away from Etsy as well. I just need to do more research on how to keep track of the stuff they keep track of automatically. (Which is why I do business through them in the first place😅)
White Wood Asmr
2022-02-08 21:01:31 +0000 UTCI know! They've always come safely! That's why I was wondering which vendor you used, so I could be sure my order would be safe! I love the quality of your prints! I own quite a few! <3
Ariana Lipman
2022-02-08 20:59:56 +0000 UTCYes!
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-08 20:55:17 +0000 UTCYes! My website will take PayPal, stripe, card, and apple pay 😊 I’ve been using it for about 6 years now to sell pdfs and other comics and I’ve never had an issue! It doesn’t even allow me to see your card information, just your shipping address 💕
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-08 20:55:08 +0000 UTCBookmarked!!

Jem
2022-02-08 20:48:28 +0000 UTCI'm glad you have a solution to the Etsy problem! 😄 I'm a paranoid little "old" lady and am nervous of other platforms (security worries!); do you know whether they use PayPal?
M
2022-02-08 20:48:20 +0000 UTC😁is it possible to pay with PayPal in your store?🤞
Lady Sammy
2022-02-08 20:43:37 +0000 UTCOh that’s horrible! All of my prints are Giclee on premium epson paper (sort of a thick watercolor) and they come in durable cardboard sleeves!
Whiteley Foster
2022-02-08 20:36:32 +0000 UTCWhich vendor do you use, Whiteley? I order plenty of yours, and I'm sure this is a good shop - but RedBubble sends prints with such disregard - a lovely print from Miel Petit came mangled - twice - because they don't send them in stiff envelopes or mark as fragile - so I was thinking with her permission, I'd order prints from her, from them in the future. I figure if she signs a release they know I'm not a stealing stealer and I'd send her an equivalent to RedBubble's commission.
