Having had some time to catch up on outstanding orders and making new boxes, I've suffered yet another slow down with the down-pour of rain on Wednesday flooding the office and requiring that I move out lots and lots and lots of stuff so that the carpet can be lifted and dried.
I estimate that it will be Monday before I can get back to work.

I have had customers orders that are repeating the previous order in the latest order. From what I can work out there appears to be an issue with my store being quite old software and the latest web browsers.
Internet Explorer appears to not clear the shopping cart after the checkout.
The easy fix for this is to go to the shopping cart and for each item that you do not want tick or check the little box on the left in the column headed 'Remove", and click on Update Cart in the lower left corner. This will remove the unwanted items.
I am working on an updated shop site at the moment and hope to finish by Christmas.

Over the past three months I have had no end of trouble with printers.
The large format printing that I need for many of the reproduction boxes is not possible with a standard A4 size printer.
The large Epson 3000 was serviced and repaired three times without success and the smaller A4 Epson decided that it was time to quit.
I now have a much larger Epson 9000 printer in operation and although I am still learning how to use it I am getting some of the larger boxes printed.
I've also replaced the A4 printer and got a mid size A2 printer operating.
I will catch up on all the box orders over the next few week-ends.

Yes, we have finally fixed the error with the SSL Certificate that provides you with a secure and safe connection to the RecoverToy on-line store.
If it seems like months that because it was months. Hopefully now I can get on with actually doing toy cars and parts and not have to worry about why the website would not do what it should.
The on-line store is now ready to accept orders again.

There's been an error generated on the computer system that runs the RecoverToy accounts access. In trying to fix one problem, a bigger issue has been created. This results in no access for accounts or orders.
The shop site is still visible and you can (I think) add items to a shopping cart but you cannot place an order.
I am working to fix this asap, but currently there is no ETA for a fix. Hopefully within a few days.
