Paul - whoa there......I have never blamed anyone but myself for the wasted money I only mentioned E-bay, because the name has become synonymous with looking for bargains. As purely a buying portal, they cannot be held to blame for some of the people who sell through them, and I in no way inferred it was their fault.
Secondly with regard to printing mugs that are no good, wherever did you get the idea I would supply supply stuff to a customer
that was not up to standard? - no way Jose.....I had to print some mugs to find out they were crap.
Your comments with regard to research and investigation are, of course, totally relevant and, as I said before, it was my fault that I ended up with junk. Also, I have found that, in practise, it's quite easy to ask for a sample for testing purposes, but when I have to ship my goods a thousand miles, it's not always practical from a financial and time point of view.
That's that then - on to nicer things.......I see Mandy you're in Saltash - I know it well, I'm a Liskeard boy (well, old bloke). Lovely part of the country, but too damn cold and wet for my tastes now. At the moment, it's about 23º and sunny and I've been in the pool today! Sorry, couldn't resist that - I've seen the U.K. weather today
........ Anyway luv to all you Cornish buggers -proper job my bird! On a competely different note - I'm compiling a Cornish joke book, so if you've got any favourite Cornish jokes (not too naughty) I'd love to see 'em and consider them for inclusion.Seem to have wandered off topic again.........................
It can be a big learning curve and being based out of Spain can't make it any easier. As for being based in Spain....my heart bleeds for you! LOL 
I'm just ordering in my snow tyres as we've had several blizzards already this week. Went out to work this morning and it was below freezing, suns out so it's lovely and bright....bleddy cold though! Back on subject....please let us know if we can help to source anything and ship it to you. I work for a local transport company who work internationally so could get a few 1000 mugs over to you
