New shop coming soon

[BenLowden]

The lawyers seem to have finally sorted things out, and we're aiming to finalise our new contract on Friday. Therefore, in theory, the new shop will be live next week. Fingers crossed!

Indeed! Although I believe the contract has finally been signed today, so we *should* be live within the next couple of days now. Thanks to everyone for being so patient.

Who said anyone is being patient?

It's all a bit st really

I've chased the lawyers as much as possible on this, I'm probably more frustrated than anyone else!

It's official – the new shop is live! https://pistonheads.shop/

In true PH fashion, the links in the main menu aren't working so we're now waiting on those to be fixed, but at least you can get to it for now using this link.

Sorry that it has taken so long, but we welcome any (constructive) feedback and ideas around anything else you'd like to see.

Ha!

I was just wondering if I should have also bet a PH smiley.

Glad it's up

Well this is bitter sweet, glad the shop is finally up and running. Gutted I’m not getting a free ph smiley! I’ve stuck my hand in my pocket and purchased a smiley....

Maybe difficult for you to answer publicly but if would be great if the profits of the shop were ring-fenced to be used to develop and maintain the PistonHeads forum etc rather than just get lost into the blackhole of Haymarket

Might give people more reason to buy merch as it would directly support this place rather Haymarket using the money elsewhere.

More merch sold = less crappy adverts on here and maybe even a dedicated web developer etc

Ever going to have the Speed Matters stickers back?

[dxg]

Why, in God's name, does it cost a pound to post a 2 inch sticker?

[BURNIE]

There still no Stickers... 🤔🙄😔

[BenLowden]

Our shop partner is in the process of changing supplier so there's going to be a short period where stickers aren't for sale unfortunately. As soon as they're back up I'll post here but you can otherwise come to our Abarth Sunday Service on the 31st March to get yours

[anonymous-user]

short period being another year I guess.

It would be funny if it wasnt pathetic, you must hate having to deal with all this

[BenLowden]

I certainly hope not! I blame Brexit. In all seriousness, they're moving manufacturing from Europe back to the UK, which is a good thing in my eyes. I just don't have a date yet on when they'll be ready to order but will report back when I do.

Any news on this, please? The frost (somehow) did for my last sticker.
