Outpost Comics Online store ::
We have manage to get another newsletter out, finally.
The months of February and March have been our months of rest.
With a big slow down from the Christmas and New Year season
coming to a close. We have also decided to switch our newsletter
from a monthly to bi-monthly, giving us more time to get it
together along with the increasing updates we have to do with
the store.
As a quick note, April is our inventory month. So if
things are slow in our responses to you by email, we are knee
deep in inventory and can't find the computer. We should be
adding more comics, toys and DVDs after the inventory is done.
We will also be updating our shopping cart software to make your
shopping experience a bit easier and entertaining.
:: AUCTIONS
::
I talked
to the guys at Point Blank Auction to see what their hold-up is
about getting the auction site up and running and found out that
it is up and running. They are doing a final switch to a better
hosting company due to the constant complaints about the site
being down (I wonder who those complaints came from :)). The
site is still free for use and we are encouraging this since we
are trying to keep cost down with out having to tag additional
fees to your purchases just to put them on auction. Well, if you
visit (if you have not) you will notice that we are already
listing products on it. This is an opportunity to pick up
something you we looking at on the our site for a discount.
:: Problem Solved
::
Thanks to one of our loyal customers we were able to fix a
problem we didn't know we had. He identified a problem with our
discount code for frequent customers (FREQ2004), which was not
working. So, after a month of code searching and testing, our
webmaster was able to get it back up and running for you guys
and girls. As a special thanks we gave him his own personal code
for a one time 10% discount. Thanks a bunch and make that
webmaster earn his pay.
:: The discount codes that are presently active are ::
FREQ2004 - For our loyal
customers, offering a 5% discount on all merchandise.
MIL2004- For our troops in
uniform, working hard and keeping us safe. This one offers a 10%
discount on all merchandise, but to use this one you must have a
shipping or billing address that is identifiable as Military (APO/FPO).

Outpost Forum ::
Now
with the end of the third season of Enterprise, many have
questions as to what is next and where the series will go after
the end of the conflict with the Xindi. Well, this is a place to
talk to other fans and see what is going on or see if you have
common expectations for the series. Also, you can talk about
Comics and other stuff. Need I say more... Talk to your friends, make new friends and
find out about what is going on. Also, this is the place we use
to list all problems with our site or shopping cart. Pick a
topic or create one. Just have fun..... and please keep the
conversations clean (if you know what I mean).
:: Contracts
::
We are still trying
to get the contract listed in our last newsletter, but we have found some
problems along the way. One, is that we are having a hell of a time going
trough the negotiations with a translator. Everything has to be translated
into Japanese for approval (so they can understand what we want) and then
in English (so we can understand what they can give us). So as it stands
the statement from the last newsletter, "Right
now, TRT Communication (our parent company) is working on a contract with
a Japanese company that sells Statues (Japanese Characters), Gundam Models
and Japanese Edition Cards (Yu-Gi Oh!, Dragon Ball, etc.)", is the same
except that we have pushed our closing to a possible October 2004. Things
just never seem to be easy these days. As
for the Anime DVDs and Graphic Novels, they have been pushed back
to May 2004.
