Packaging and Delivery

All TF sellers in the world are masters of packaging and delivery (not just us). Why?

  • We can hear the ticking clock in your mind after you click “Add to Cart”. If you receive your purchase at 1:00 am, we will make sure that we go to post office first thing in the morning.

  • We automatically refund the changes if Auspost charges less than you paid.

Extended Validation Certificate for my online store

Today I have made the final improvement on my online store —- the Extended Validation Certificate.

Basically, not only transactions from my online store is encrypted and secure, all content, all images, referring links are now encrypted. Besides, my operating company has also been verified by Godaddy.com.

Fishpond’s general page:

and Fishpond’s login page:

ANZ bank:

To have secure/green address bar for my store, I have to be verified by the Internet authority on domain ownership as well as operating company ownership. ASIC record was pulled and checked. My CPA was asked to sign an assessment letter. I wish this can boost some buyer confidence for my new store.

After-sales

Because the issue will never be just the faulty toy in your hand right now, instead, you want to make sure that, hopefully, hundreds (if not thousands) of toys you already had as well as hundreds (if not thousands) of toys you are going to have in future will not bring headaches to you. Item faulty does happen, from 1 in every 20 in 3rd party toys for some brand to 1 in 200 in official ones.

Some of my own stories here:
