The Handshake Demonstration

So why were we all fist bumping and elbow knocking during the pandemic?

Because shaking hands is a great way to spread germs.

Try this…

  1. Line up six to eight students.
  2. Dust the first person’s right hand with Glow 2 Show Powder
  3. Have them shake hands with the next person in the line.
  4. Have that person turn and shake hands with the next person… and so on
  5. Shine the UV torch on each student’s hand. You will see that Powder has been transferred all the way down the line.
  6. Explain that bacteria can be similarly transferred. If the first person had just sneezed or coughed in their hand, it would be germs and not powder that was transmitted to other people.

This demonstration uses Glow 2 Show Powder to simulate germs and shows that it is not just the person with whom you are shaking hands that can infect you, it is everything and everyone that they have touched.

The Tennis Ball Demonstration

Here’s a sneaky demonstration…

  1. Dust a tennis ball with Glow 2 Show Powder.
  2. When the students arrive, have them pass the tennis ball around the group. e.g. Tell them to hold the ball as they introduce themselves.
  3. After a few minutes of talking about how germs spread, grab the UV light and shine it on the students. You will see glowing Powder on hands, faces, nostrils, ears and even crotches.

This demonstration shows how easily germs can be passed from hands to faces. This shows the need for careful handwashing.

What is covered with our shipping insurance?

Our normal terms and conditions (like most businesses) is that you take possession the moment an order ships. If the order is lost or damaged in transit then, in theory, it’s your problem. In reality we will have a conversation and try to work out a good way to resolve the issue where we are both happy (or not too upset).

Shipping insurance is there to remove the drama. If an order is lost or damaged in transit, we will simply send out a replacement, and we will then deal with the courier directly to resolve the original problem.

Our shipping insurance also means that if an order is delayed beyond what is normal and reasonable then we will send you another shipment (stock levels permitting). Then you should receive one of them sooner, and when the second one arrives you simply Return To Sender.

How much is shipping insurance?

Shipping insurance is 5% of the cost of the goods.

Is it worth it? Practically we have had far less than 5% of shipments have problems. It is, however, what Australia Post and other couriers charge. Ultimately insurance is about peace of mind and less hassle when something does go wrong.

Shipping insurance as an option

Shipping insurance is offered as an option on all our web sites. You can select it at the checkout.

For large orders our staff may also ask if you would like shipping insurance.

If you would like shipping insurance on an order you are placing with us, just ask.

Mandatory shipping insurance

Unfortunately we have had a couple of large orders not make it and then the customer refused to pay. A friend suggested that the easy way to avoid the dispute is to insure any shipments where we have a significant risk.

If you would like an immediate line of credit (30 days to pay) and have the goods ship immediately (no credit check delays) and are purchasing over $500 then we will add shipping insurance to your order.

The shipping insurance can be waived if the order is between $500 and $2,000 and you provide us with a formal confirmation that you accept responsibility of the goods once they ship.

Alternatively you can prepay by direct deposit or credit card.

What is not covered?

If there is a clear proof of delivery to the shipping address provided then we class that as delivered. Unfortunately there are cases where it is lost somewhere between the loading dock or receptionist and ending up in your hands. But we also know that a photo of the bag against a generic grey background is not proof of delivery, it is just proof of existence! It needs to be a reasonable proof of delivery.

It also doesn’t cover the expectation of overnight delivery. For example, if we were to ship to Melbourne (we are in Sydney) then we would expect it to be delivered within about 3 days. Most of the time it is overnight, but there are enough floods and other issues that regularly cause minor delays. Sending a second order the next day tends to not fix the problem. If it is super urgent, talk to us about how we can minimise the risk.

For damage claims we ask that you contact us immediately and we will probably ask for photos or some proof. The shipping insurance doesn’t cover claims weeks later. We do have warranty covering our items, but it excludes physical damage (e.g. being dropped). If the goods are damaged in transit then please let us know ASAP so we can cover it under the shipping insurance.
