Parcel Monkey are who we use - made the mistake of using UPS twice, what a nightmare. Granted we don't send fragile items via Parcel Monkey but they haven't lost anything and their system is quick and easy to use. We couldn't even get a copy invoice for 3 months from UPS - total pain.

The key to liming (which is the only hand finishing I've done!) is just buffing, buffing, buffing... circular motions and keep checking it's going on evenly.

Hi Adam,

If you're still looking for a good way to back up your website monthly, it is quite straight forward to use FTP software to download the files from your website directly to your harddrive, which to be safe, I'd then burn onto a DVD/ DVDs. It depends on how much space your files currently ...
