			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When placing an order with <strong><a title="Olivers Lighting's on-line shop" href="http://www.shop.oliverslighting.co.uk/" target="_blank">Olivers Lighting’s on-line shop</a></strong>, customers are presented with the option to provide additional information on <em>why</em> they are placing their order with Olivers Lighting Company and ways with which they feel we can improve our on-line shop.</p>
<p>Following are some of the comments from the last couple of months, excluding the common &#8220;<em>previous customer</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>quality</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>ideal</em>&#8221; type of reply.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Your reasons for purchasing from Olivers Lighting Company?</strong></p>
<p>The beauty of your product &amp; the pleasure of using it every day<br />
1st in Google search<br />
Wooden surrounds instead of brass<br />
Love the Bakelite range and find your internet clean and representative of what you are making/selling<br />
Good web site and helpful advice when I called<br />
Bakelite switches that will retrofit into existing wall boxes<br />
Great service and good quality switches<br />
Wanted something different<br />
Family has used you before<br />
The range and price<br />
Very impressed with your product and your service when I used you before<br />
Design and quality<br />
Film Sets<br />
Excellent quality products<br />
Recommended by electrician<br />
Good range, plus extremely helpful staff when I rang with a query<br />
Known about and used Olivers for years<br />
Unable to find item any where else<br />
I was impressed with the quality of your goods<br />
Have an old period house and I think your products are very stylish<br />
I&#8217;ve been looking for wooden switches for a long time and have not been able to find them until I looked at your website<br />
Traditional style and very easy to use<br />
The best switches &amp; sockets available<br />
Easy to navigate site. Good prices for what appears to be a good product<br />
Seen light switches in a friend&#8217;s house<br />
Well presented site and helpful/polite on the phone<br />
The quality of goods &amp; service is excellent<br />
Quality of product, dependability of range allow continued purchases<br />
We like the light switches!<br />
Professional website with exactly the products I want<br />
I love your products<br />
Best wooden backplates!<br />
We adore the items we bought previously, the craftsmanship and quality of the switches are first class</p>
<p><strong>How could we improve our on-line shop?</strong></p>
<p>1. <em>Products on offer</em><br />
The switches and sockets are manufactured and assembled to order, hence why we don&#8217;t have special offers, sorry.</p>
<p>2. <em>Identify postage and packaging before order</em><br />
The software we used to build the shop only adds postage when a customer confirms their order <span style="text-decoration: underline;">prior to payment</span>. This is mainly designed for shops that price per weight/quantity and need all quantity information prior to postage costs being calculated. Olivers have a standard price of £5.00 per order or £9.00 if purchasing wall lights, but the shop will again only add this once the order is confirmed, prior to payment.</p>
<p>Always read the Terms &amp; Conditions of any on-line shop prior to purchase, especially if you haven&#8217;t used them before. Under our <strong><a title="Olivers Lighting on-line terms &amp; conditions" href="http://www.shop.oliverslighting.co.uk/acatalog/info.html" target="_blank">terms &amp; conditions</a></strong> you will find the following information - <em>All UK orders are charged at a flat rate of £4.17 (+VAT) for postage &amp; packing, with the exception of Olivers&#8217; wall lights, which are charged at £7.50 (+VAT)</em> per order.</p>
<p>4.<em> Include VAT</em><br />
VAT is shown next to each product, in the shopping basket and at checkout.</p>
<p>5. <em>Could have pictures showing switches from different angles etc. &#8211; (Please) have a picture of each colour of switch and wood.</em><br />
There are plans for this in the future.</p>
<p>7. <em>Images of what you&#8217;ve ordered in basket</em><br />
I&#8217;m afraid this isn&#8217;t possible using our existing software.</p>
<p>8. <em>A word of thanks for comments made by loyal and helpful customers&#8230;</em><br />
Thanks for all the comments we receive, they are all read and very much appreciated!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted the following Olivers Lighting advert in <a title="Period Ideas" href="http://www.periodideas.com" target="_blank">Period Ideas</a> this month. We&#8217;ve been working on a new range of high quality lighting to complement our switches and sockets. As occasionally happens we&#8217;ve had a couple of delays with the supply of parts, and this has resulted in us falling a couple of weeks behind schedule.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to contact us directly with your details, we&#8217;ll happily send you the literature when ready, or keep an eye out for additional updates both here and on the shop.</p>
