Kitlinx Newsletter - October 4, 2018

 Hobby News! 

THE NUMBERS:

SKUs in stock at Kitlinx.com: 15,890 (23.2%)

Available from US & European Suppliers: 68,581

What did we do this week?

BE PATIENT, WE ARE ORGANIZING OUR WAREHOUSE TO BE MORE EFFICIENT

Picture update of our warehouse - that's 40-linear-feet of book shelves. Not all books are up yet!

LET'S TALK BUSINESS:

BREAKING NEWS: We received our first European order today. It left the UK on Monday... 4 days!!! that's faster than shipping from the East Coast by UPS or FedEx ground!

We want to "test" this relationship as there are about 29,000 additional products NOT IN OUR DATABASE YET that these suppliers have in stock and that we can bring in FAST. If you have specific inquiries about a line of products, shoot me an email! loic@kitlinx.com

 

Kitlinx has started the upgrade of its software. Our NEW system will allow "real-time" order status. Emails about the status of an order is the most common inquiry. Please READ THE STATUS of the product you ordered. If it says: "Status: Special Order in Europe, Ships in about 2-3 weeks" that means that the product is NOT in stock, and we source it.

Roll Models gave their customers a 2-3 weeks expectation to fill orders. If you want IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION, just order the almost 16,000 SKUs we have IN STOCK! We ship within 24 hours when all is in stock! (except when we travel to a show or acquire a company that more than double our inventory - and organize this inventory on our shelves!)

 Training our New Customers 

There are FOUR ways to search in Kitlinx

  • Home Page - New Items: Every day, we announce NEW ITEMS, listed by date. In stock is a little logo RED ROCKET, not in stock but available is a BLUE ROCKET
  • Left Column SHOP - Search by Manufacturer, Pre-Orders, Sales, Discontinued, Books, Decals, etc... Most of these searches are sub-divided by scales or subjects
  • Quick Search - top blue line, left box: Just type away! Put several keywords: 1/24 Lamborghini gives me 56 hits!
  • Advanced Search - top blue line, next to Quick Search: You have many options, drop down, and check boxes

Kitlinx Best-Kept Secrets:

  • On the item page: "Related Items, click here" - this link will take you to a selection of products related to the product you are currently searching
  •  Reviews right below the top product image on item page: Kitlinx is linked to over 20,000 independent reviews from website we usually sponsor - Hyperscale, Large Scale Planes, Internet Modeler, Cybermodeler and many more. If you have reviews to share, send us the link (and the SKU of the product it relates to)
  • Scalemates - scale modeling database | stash manager. Kitlinx supports and sponsors Scalemates. When a product has the Scalemates logo, you can click on it and it will take you directly to this amazing website, with price comparison and availability, and much more
  • Review a product: Customers are sent an automated email asking them to review the products they just purchased. Please take the time to quickly give your opinion. Please be "fair" to the product/Manufacturer, after all the quality of a model is often related to the skill of the builder! As my mother used to say: "if you don't have anything nice to say about it, just don't say anything"... Let's make constructive comments
  • Blog - Kitlinx offers a blog to customers, which often is used to announce full line restocks and post Newsletters. You can find it on the homepage/bottom of left column or click on the "Blog" link on the main menu - YOU CAN COMMENT on this blog!

We welcome your suggestions!
