Effective yesterday we are no longer shipping packages internationally. This also includes US Territory addresses and APO addresses.
Much like closing down Tastefully Driven, there were a lot of reasons behind our decision, but it can all pretty much be summed up by saying that it was too much work for how small of a part [...]

Goodbye Tastefully Driven, So Long Amazon
In an effort to become more efficient, more profitable, and more flexible, we’ve decided to close Tastefully Driven and stop selling our products on Amazon.
Effective March 1 the e-commerce store will be closed down and we will sell any remaining inventory (non-detailing of course) on Amazon. We’re running a 30% off sale to [...]
Thank You DI Customers!
It’s 4:13 PM on Tuesday and I think this is the first second that I’ve had to relax since last Wednesday. The past five days have been out of control busy. When posted on Thursday I was excited to find out what was to come of our Thanksgiving-Black-Friday-Cyber-Monday sale, but I wasn’t quite [...]
Let the Fun Begin!
Last night Mike sent out the Detailed Image Black Friday newsletter (shown below). There are also some killer deals coming on Cyber Monday. Last year we were a bit rushed but managed to put together some awesome specials and have an amazing weekend. This year we’ve had a lot of time to plan [...]
Customers Never Cease to Amaze Me
This weekend we’re running a 20% off coupon code on Detailed Image. Coupled with our free shipping on orders over $150 for the rest of the year, it’s a pretty enticing pre-holiday sale.
Apparently it’s not quite good enough for one customer.
Said customer decided that he was going to outsmart our system by buying a [...]
Amazon Let’s Us Pay Them to Grow
In my continuing efforts to prepare for the holidays, I’ve spent the last few weeks reviewing and improving our product listings in our Amazon Seller Central account. We sell on Amazon under the Tastefully Driven name. We list almost everything that’s up on the TD website, but the majority of what we actually sell is [...]
It’s Holiday Time!
Coming off of last year’s successful holiday season, I’m really pumped for this year. We have two busy times of the year: spring time and the holidays. Spring is super busy because that’s when the weather starts to get nice and people start spending money on their cars. Detailed Image is the place to be. [...]
Our Exhaustive Shipping Project – What We Learned and What New Features We Added
Today we launched some really cool new shipping features on Detailed Image. They were a cumulation of about a month long shipping project that we took on. It was really the one big thing that we wanted to make sure that we got done before the holidays. Shipping options are just so important to customers [...]
The Manager – Programmer Disconnect
Nethy left an interesting comment the other day in regards to a potential new feature I mentioned:
I’m always impressed with how your processes [flow]. Having a system like this that works properly needs:
a) the programming doing the work and
b) someone to plan the process.
That’s something that’s very hard to do on a small business budget. [...]
Breaking Down the New Detailed Image – Part 3 of 3
Now that I’ve outlined the majority of the improvements on Part 1 and Part 2, I want to take a step back and quickly talk about why I think this was a successful project.
The Process & The Time Frame
We didn’t really plan it this way, but from the time we launched the previous cart in [...]
