Selling

I have just been through a steep learning curve in the process of selling a print of one of my drawings.  On a friend's recommendation I went with a particular printing service and received the image through the post only to find that they'd lost the colour and the picture was more grey than blue.  I then had to apologise to my friend/customer, get in touch with the printing service and get another print sent out.  Fortunately they didn't charge me for the second version, which had retained more of the colour than the first one.  Next I had to get hold of some of those "do not bend" envelopes, sort out the postage, print out an invoice (which had to be done elsewhere as I don't have a printer at home) and try and find a post office that I could reach outside of work hours.  Lacking a post office anywhere near my workplace, I had to go to the one at Charing Cross last night.  The picture is now, hopefully, on its' way, two weeks after it was first requested.
