Warehouse Sale next weekend – Friday 4th & Saturday 5th March

February 25th, 2011

We finally got to speak to the facilities people and we’re ON for a two day sale next week – yay!

Sorry it’s such short notice, but we’ve not been able to do it sooner and I don’t want to put it off any longer.

So it’s at Unit 5A Harmire Enterprise Park, Barnard Castle Friday 4th and Saturday 5th March, 10am – 4pm both days.  Click here for directions. Unit 5C is Longmann Plastics so if you see their sign, you’re in the right place.  There’s usually lots of free parking and it’s all on the level for anyone using a wheelchair.

For those who have been to Graphicus before, it is literally just around the corner.  You turn right just opposite Carrosserie Company, (yards before the left turn into the old place), then take the first left (opposite Royal Mail sorting office) and you’ll see a run of units on your left, labelled 5A to 5E.  They’re red brick buildings with burgundy paintwork.

The sale will be in Unit 5A, and be warned – it will be chilly.  There’s no heating in there, so wrap up warm.

We don’t have as many tables as we used to, so it will be a bit of a rummage sale as we will have things in boxes and crates.  Items will be split into products that we are completely discontinuing and products that we will be continuing to stock, with huge discounts off the discontinued lines.  They include

  • Sizzix
  • Cuttlebug
  • Cricut
  • Lots of paper and card – both 12×12 and A4
  • Artylicious Italy and Simple elegance paper
  • Lumiere
  • Shimmerz
  • Ecoline
  • Claudine Hellmuth
  • Certain sizes of Stampbord
  • Claybord inks
  • Tattered Angels albums
  • Rub-ons
  • Crop-a-Diles
  • Ribbons
  • Tags
  • Flowers
  • Brads, buttons, etc
  • Crackle paint
  • Zutter wires
  • Zutter Book covers and pages
  • Zutter Display-it-All
  • and lots more that I can’t think of right now.

The other important point is that we still don’t have credit card processing so this is a CASH only sale.

We have a boiler, so can do teas and coffees, but we don’t have any chairs so why not bring your own.  If you have a camping chair or similar, pop it in your car and you’ll be able to take the weight off your feet and hopefully catch up with some familiar faces.

We already have a lot of the regular faces coming along – it will be wonderful to see you all again. Probably emotional, possibly strange, but definitely wonderful.

Thank you

December 13th, 2010

I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for all of your amazing comments.  Truly, I don’t know what to say.  In the build up to this sad event, I never once thought that it would generate so many messages of empathy, compassion and love and I really genuinely thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  I feel your support on all sides and it’s a truly incredible feeling.

I will be back tomorrow with more details of our closing down sale.  Sad, I know, but please don’t feel bad about taking advantage of it.  It’s stash for heaven’s sake, you’d be mad to miss out!

It’s party time

December 3rd, 2010

Remember, the fun is all happening over on the Graphicus Blog today – it’s started already …

The party goes online!

December 1st, 2010

I promised you a party and a party you will get!

On Friday 3rd December, there will be a series of blog posts on the Graphicus blog throughout the day.  There’s some fun stuff, a quiz, some prizes, special offers and a few incredibly, AMAZING super duper deals of the day.  Adrian will be wittering, sorry twittering during the day and his deals will probably get awesomer and awesomer as the day goes on.  We will be monitoring responses all day and doing some seriously silly offers, so if you were originally planning on coming along to the open days, then maybe you should spend the day glued to your computer screen instead.

I will put the caveat in place now that all of this depends on Adrian and I being able to get in to work.  We can’t do this from home if we’re snowed in as we need to be logged into our main computer system at work to do what we’re planning.

Remember, this will be happening on the Graphicus blog, not here.

Oh and if you’re on a forum, please pass on the word – some deals will depend on the number of responses, so the more the merrier!

Graphicus pre-VAT sale starts today!

November 17th, 2010

Look what they get up to at the office when I take a break!

Yes, Graphicus is having a pre-VAT sale with massive discounts off selected items.  Many lines are being cleared altogether to make way for new stock, so some items will be extremely limited and once they’re gone – yeah, you know the rest, theyr’e gone forever.

To be as efficient as possible, during the sale, we are not doing backorders (unless you specifically ask us to in the comments box that you will see during the checkout process).

We also set up a new Twitter account for Graphicus and those of you who use Twitter, I can’t recommend strongly enough that you sign up as a follower because that’s where you will get to find out about the really super bargains.  The last one in stock, the deals of the day, the extra Twitter discounts, that kind of thing – visit http://twitter.com/graphicus to become a follower.

If you are on our email list, you will get an email about this in the next day or two, but I wanted my loyal blog readers to be the first to know.

We’re also in the process of setting up a Facebook page, so again, we’ll be able to announce some super special deals on there too.

If all this technology is just baffling to you, don’t worry, we still do things the old fashioned way too and you can always ring and speak to a real person (01833 695958).

Don’t forget we have free mainland UK delivery when you spend over £15.00 (no minimum for Guild members)  and even if you’re in the Highlands and Islands, delivery might not be as much as you think.  The website will calculate shipping to non mainland UK areas based on weight and volume, so you can see what it will be before you put your card details in.

Any questions, just ask the girls at the office, they’ll be glad to help – 01833 695958 or email info@graphicus.co.uk.

Have fun shopping!
