How do you get a multi coloured stamp?

You don't. I've ordered a red stamp. Red goes faster.

[Towger]

Don't forget a QC sticker.

The China Export 'CE' stamp is also required for the over zealous German Customs Officers. May as well go the whole hog and get those pre printed and signed CN23 forms.  Description: Meter, Value $5.00, Gift: X

How do you get a multi coloured stamp?

Not hard, actually.  Google it.

As for the graphic, the colour shown here is just because it can be.  A rubber stamp could have simply black (or brown or blue or purple or red) ink over everything.

The website has a new logo 
Thoughts?

Not bullshitting is one thing. Advertising it is another. It could be seen as being a bit up yourself.
No Waffle would be more aspirational though.

No Waffle - as in No Ice-cream?

That just isn't Dave.

The multi coloured logo is nice, but as a stamp on the box it's IMHO a bit contradictory to the idea of 'No Bullshit packaging'. I would keep it as simple as i can be.

You also might want to consider printing/stamping 'BM235' on the box. Just so that once your assortment has grown you don't have to open every box to find the right item.

I was thinking about something like that too

The only thing simpler is no stamp, nothing at all. And that ruins the fun.

So not happy with "No Bullshit", but happy with "No Waffle"?
Admit it, you don't like it because it's not PC enough.

Only comment I have is that the blue doesn't really go with the orange so it looks a bit out of place to my eyes. I'd say change the orange to something that fits a bit better since it seems you prefer blue in general.

Oh no, That's not how I meant it. Please keep the stamp, in fact, I got interested in this thread after reading about ditching the fancy (but shoddy looking) box and going for a simple one instead. So kudos to the one who came up with the idea.

What I meant was that a multi-colored stamp would be overkill imho. But just a normal stamp with recognizable logo =

My shopping cart integration finally works 
I've started shipping more international orders, and see no reason not to open it up to public orders now.

Someone wanted a photo of the DMM916
Colour is close.

I'm curious dave, will you also sell those surplus Tek DMM's?

I have. The ones left are the rejects.

Damn close, the Bryman is just a tad lighter, a little bit of dirt will make the difference negligible. Speaking of which, my 235 is already starting to get a bit dirty. Oh well, can't keep that fresh look forever. A dirty meter is a well loved meter, after all

Are the prices in US$ or AU$?

Are the prices in US$ or AU$?

AUD for now, but I'm playing with a plugin that allows USD and shows other currencies.
I'm not sure if there is a way to actually display the AUD in front.

Hi Dave, Is the price in AUD or USD?
I took it to be AUD and went through the process until PayPal quoted be the total price as $155 USD before the point of actual purchase.

Edit: Umm, I see it is supposed to be AUD, this is what I get from PayPal:

 Yay!    I suppose it might be a good idea to have a meter that's younger than my kids, and the specs on this one are more than adequate for what I need, so here's to supporting my favorite YouTube channel!

Well I like the picture of the lab better than an ad.
On the other hand who doesn't like no bullshit? Or nonsense design.

Ah, a plugin I tested temporarily set the default currency to USD it seems. Fixed that earlier today.
Crazy that Woocommerce nor plugins allow the display of currency before the actual PayPal checkout. They all assume that the US dollar is the only $
