Think About This

Fully Operational Again!
By Mark Roth on January 26, 2011 at 7:49 pm
As you may know from the previous post, “Since the wee hours of Friday, January 14, 2011, this site has been partially broken.”
Well, I’m happy to report that, as of a few minutes ago, our Rod and Staff site is once again operational. That is, for the first time in 13 days, it properly and completely processed an order. I need to do more testing, but we seem to have crossed a huge, huge milestone.
Now I need to get our Anabaptist Bookstore site and the sister Rod and Staff Canadian site fixed as well.
Many thanks to God and DaveG (the programmer behind the ecommerce software I use)!

Broken Sites! What’s Wrong?
By Mark Roth on January 24, 2011 at 6:11 am
Since the wee hours of Friday, January 14, 2011, this site has been partially broken. However, you can still place an order.
But be forewarned: it will appear that it hasn’t gone through and at the end you’ll get an error message that includes this ominous-sounding line:
SHA encryption function – Invalid SHA encryption result As soon as possible after that, I will reconstruct your order and email it to you with payment instructions.

Postal Service Prices
By Mark Roth on December 30, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I just learned this yesterday at our local Post Office:
Prices for Priority Mail, Express Mail and other Shipping Services will change Jan. 2, 2011.
[...]
In addition to an overall price change of 3.5 percent for Priority Mail, new prices for Express Mail, Global Express Guaranteed, Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, Parcel Select and Parcel Return Service will be effective Jan. 2. The overall price change for all Shipping Services products is 3.6 percent.
Source: November 2 Press Release
At this point, I do not plan to pass this increase along to our customers.
Or to put it another way, I do not plan to increase our shipping rates for Priority Mail.
As I understand what I read at the USPS site, they do not plan to increase rates for Media Mail, the shipping option chosen by most of our customers. Yea!
