Postage and Packing

Nov 10

Now it’s out of character for us not to be upbeat, but this is something that’s a bit more serious. From next week we’re going to be charging for post and packing.

Up until now we’ve absorbed the cost within the GoKart price. When we launched we wanted to keep the price tag as low as possible. We still do, but transport costs have risen steadily, and the cost of good quality, heavy duty, recyclable corrugated cardboard is scarily high now. In short, from Monday 17th November we’ll be charging £15 for packaging and standard weekday delivery. Options like before 12/10 or Saturdays will be an extra £4/£8/£10 respectively.

But of course if you’re in the neighbourhood (Canterbury is quite a destination for shopping these days, lovely town centre – and you know how highly we rate the courses around here if you fancy a Kentish days golf) you can always come in and collect from the showroom. We’re open from Monday to Friday, 9 till 5.  Best to phone first to check we have the colour you want though.

GoKart is Magic Brand of 2008

Nov 01

The website Golfmagic.com (the liveliest online golf forum in the UK) recently held their annual awards. When we were nominated for ‘Best Brand’, up against some of the big boys (Nike, Callaway, Taylormade etc), we were delighted to bits. Then we heard we’d won and our delightedness reached another level. Bourbon biscuits were purchased. (more…)

Now Autumn’s here, be ready with your hedgehogs.

Oct 06

It seems like the soggy conditions are setting in early and some courses are imminently insisting on players using hedgehog wheels on trolleys. We, and lots of GoKart owners, trialled these last winter and they worked a treat.

Ryder Cup Poll Result

Ryder Cup 2008

In our latest poll 6% of voters said Europe had no chance of winning the Ryder Cup. Which just goes to prove…there’s more Americans looking at our site than we thought. Well played USA (grrr)

Ryder Cup Result (sob)

Oct 05

Well, we lost and, as Mutley might have said “Sassafrassarassum Rick Rastardly”. But never mind, it’ll soon be twenty ten, and we’ll get ‘em backIan Poulter

At least we had the best player of the matches in the European team with Ian Poulter. Talking of which, we had a number of correct entries to our competition to win a GoKart. Eleven people correctly predicted Poulter would win four points out of five. The first one out of the hat was Vic W of Halesowen. Congratulations Vic - we hope you and your GoKart are very happy together!
