I just received a phone call from Laser Sketch notifying me that their pricing was going to be increased 20% on September 1. If you need to order any product for the holiday season, tomorrow would be a good time to do so.
Here is a link to their price-increase notice. http://www.lasersketch.com/catalog/index.htm. You can now order through their website shopping cart.

David,
I just tried your link. They must have already shut it down to put the price increases into effect (11:00pm CST).

In the future please use upper and lower case letters.
All caps is considered shouting on the Web.

Mark,
This is just an observation, but the website looks more like you are selling your service as opposed to wholesaling granite and marble plaques.
Do you plan to offer oval, round, heart and other non-rectangular shapes as well?
Will your product have a beveled or routed edge?
How will your product be packed for shipping to eliminate or minimize scratching and breakage?

That is good news for those who use granite and marble.
Freight charges will be a big issue for those on the other coast. I know I am jumping the gun, but at some point will you consider setting up a distributor centrally and on the east coast?
Being nosey, is your product mined from China or Mexico?

Dave, Mark's granite engraves better than most marble I've seen. The polishing is like a mirror and is a true edge polish unlike the other mentioned supplier.
If I lived in Maine I'd still order from Mark, it's worth the extra shipping $ to have such a great product and not have to deal with the attitude of the other supplier.

The larger box is made to hold letter size items, 8.5x11, which would hold 6x9's, 8x10's and 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8".
You can see the boxes at:
http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductCategoryDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10152&categoryId=13359
or just go to http://www.usps.com and search for flat rate boxes and then click on the box to see the size and rate.
