I need a handful of Round wooden coasters.

I've checked out BMS but their website only shows square ones. Transfer Press's website says out of stock. Listawood's website still throws up security errors.

You guys are just about my last hope.

Does anyone have any?

Thanks.

I have plenty of the round 9cm unisub ones. If you need any let me know.
You can have them for whatever the standard cost is from the main suppliers. POstage would depend on your postcode and quantity.

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks guys. I think I've managed to convince the customer to mix their order and take square ones for the shortfall.

Next panic is baize-backed ones that I've been waiting for from BMS for over a week. The cork ones took two weeks to arrive and now I'm about out of them again. Waiting for glass ones from Transfer Press that were ordered on Thursday, too. My coaster shelf looks like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard now.

I seem to have sold more coasters over the last two weeks than in the last six months. Crazy times.

(Just wish I'd sold an equal quantity of mugs to go with them... :lol: :lol: )

Sorry to hear your glass coasters haven't arrived - if you give me a call in the morning we'll get them tracked for you - we have been made aware that a couple of Fed-Ex depots have been really struggling but if we give them a rocket about specific consignments they do seem to be able to find them in their "huge backlog" and get them out pretty quickly!

It's not just FedEx :( At least we can now send things up to Scotland (for a few days anyway!)

Thanks, Graeme. We don't have an order number or anything. My colleague ordered over the phone on Thursday and said she spoke to a very nice person who said the coasters would be despatched that day.

I've tried to get the customer to take round glass coasters (I have just enough of them) but they said they'd prefer to wait. Starting to run out of time now, though.

Not half as much as for the baize-coasters, though, that are a week late (typical Royal Mail right now!). It's my own fault, though, because I did ask BMS if I could order a roll of the baize backing about a year ago but I didn't follow it up.

If you suppliers could sell the green baize backing and cork backing as separate stick-ons, it'd make it a whole lot easier for us to sell the coasters because we'd only have to stock plain-backed ones and then use the stick-ons as and when required.

Think we still have that in stock!

In the New Year we may well have these as separate items to buy. Watch this space...

That would be very helpful given that I'm *still* waiting for the baize coasters to arrive.

It's a bit cheeky I know, but I don't suppose there's any chance you could pop half a dozen of these sticky-baize backs in an envelope for me so I can get this order done? They'll probably arrive quicker than the coasters (because we're getting letters, just very little in the way of parcels).

I have enough plain coasters for the moment, just not the baize-backed ones. If it's possible - thanks. If it's not possible - well, thanks anyway. ;) :D

I can try to remember tomorrow as I'm away from the office at the moment. Any chace you can send us an email to remind me with your postcode so we can locate your account quickly?
