Where are the Trade Me buyers?

[harm_less]

I feel it's just a case of people having other things on their minds recently and now the fine weather is more conducive to outdoor pursuits than pawing over a computer. In the past the Xmas/New Year period produced sales if rain hit but no such situation this year. We've just had one of slowest months for years for website (and trade) sales whereas we've had month after month of record turnover since COVID arrived last year. We have a large shipment of fabric en route from Auckland currently with pre-orders for several rolls so hopefully we'll hit 2022 running.

Insofar as courier services go we use NZ Couriers whose service has been up to speed except for deliveries into the Auckland area where they have advised us that they are really struggling to perform. We did one delivery into the Hawkes Bay dispatched on 30th and delivered on 31st.

 Totally agree. Great post. Is the fabric for face masks I wonder?

Bamboo based fabrics so very gentle for skin contact. We've had a few customers buying for face mask manufacture though every man and his dog has the same idea and I guess with many places not recognising homemade masks it hasn't really taken off.
