BRICKWERKS Christmas Message…


…shorter and probably a bit more interesting than that one the Queen will be doing in a few days time…

Chrimbopressie
Just a quicky regarding Christmas and New Year shenanigans.
We’ll be closed from Midday on Friday the 23rd December, and we will return to work on Tuesday the 3rd January 2017.
All orders placed up until around 1PM on Thursday the 22nd December will be shipped that day, and should be delivered either next day or in the period between Christmas and New Year.
Remember, we don’t make the deliveries and as this time of year is extremely busy for the Post Office and UPS then if anything is urgent, don’t leave it until the last minute!
All the services we offer for shipping are “Next Day” which whilst at this time of year that might not actually mean next day it does mean that it’ll get to you as quickly as is humanly possible.

Any orders placed after the 22nd December will by picked, and packed on Tuesday the 3rd when we return to work.
Similarly, any emails won’t be replied to until we return on the 3rd.

What else… oh yeah, Christmas stuff. We know at this time of year you’re spending your brass on other stuff… and rightly so.
But, as its Christmas, you might like to drop some hints to family or friends about some interesting stuff we’ve added to our range lately…. stuff that you might actually like to receive instead of another bloomin’ Split Screen Camper mug 😀
Read on…

 
Another one for the chilly months… we’ve used these for a while as they’re compact and self contained which is ideal when you’re trying to cram all your stuff in a small campervan. You’ll be surprised how much heat they give off though, and the bonus is you can boil a kettle or even cook a pizza on them if you have a pizza stone. And we find that most campsites that allow off the ground BBQ’s are fine with them even if they don’t allow camp fires. Oh… and you’ll see we have an offer at the moment where you get the stove and the carry bag for the price of the stove alone! And as if that wasn’t enough, free shipping too 🙂  
Atiwe. You’ve heard of Atiwe right? Oh… well… Atiwe make and have made a range of accessories for years. Steering Wheels, Gearknobs, even one of the Factory Option T3 Alloy wheels was supplied by Atiwe. So, when they offered us these, we couldn’t say no! They’re not “cheap”, but they are one of the nicest knobs we’ve ever had the pleasure of handling… fnarr fnarr They’re anodised aluminium and leather and once you’ve touched one that standard plastic one will never satisfy you in the same way…  

 

Lastly… if you have someone in your family who likes colouring in, we were sent these A3 posters by Squidoodle which are great designs and will keep you entertained for hours. Have a look at his other stuff if this is your thing. You can hang em on the wall when theyre done. Again, not something that we’ve been known to sell in the past but if it helps Steve get his stuff out there, we’re happy to keep a few on the shelf.  

In other news…
Webshop update is still ongoing.
A couple of recent changes are to the general tidiness of your Account area. You can check the status of your order here, or track it once its shipped.
You can also access the new returns section here, so when you’ve bought something you don’t need you can get a returns number and that’ll help us refund it quicker when it comes back.

We’ve struggled a bit this year with getting all the new stuff on the webshop. Traditionally this time of year has been our quiet period and thats given us chance to get all the new products we have in the wings lined up and live on the shop… hasn’t happened this year though. We’re working through them slowly as and when we get a few minutes though, so keep checking the new products on the home page for new stuff, and have a look on Facebook or the Blog for the more interesting stuff. Oh, we post stuff on Instagram too from time to time… apparently 😀

Speaking of Facebook, we have a competition running here at the moment for people who have ordered from us in the last 12 months… so if you havn’t seen it you might want to check it out.
If you’ve already ordered you have nothing to lose by getting your name down 🙂 You might win one of the very limited VW Monopoly sets we recently sold out of in one day!

Thats it ’til next time… might be another month, or it might be another 11 years, we’ll see how we go.

Whatever you do over the festive period, have a good one and we’ll see you all again next year.

Simon, Michael, Angus, Mike, Debs, Uncle Pete and Stanley.
(I think thats all of us!)
