Smugmug strap

OlgaJ · April 19, 2010

The Smugmug strap is the best strap I've ever had. Not too big, not too hot in warm weather, flexible, and comfortable. Could you please tell me who the manufacturer/seller of that strap is or what model?

Thanks,

Olga

Hi Olga - sorry - it's a special deal we have with an exclusive supplier. I'm glad you like it!

Andy,

Thanks. I understand. Any possibility that Smugmug would sell it?

No, we don't sell them

But we do give them away at tradeshows, SMUGs meetings, and if you ever come to see us.

Olga,

With Andy's permission I have a few extra and if you were to send me a self addressed and stamped 8.5X11 padded envelope, I could send one or two.

Sam, That is very kind of you. Could I possibly pay you via Paypal? You can email me at OlgaJ@OlgaJ.com

I'll await Andy's blessing. :ivar

I can't charge you anything for the strap. I just want to cover my out of pocket postage costs.

Once the great one

blesses this I will get you address and send you the strap and let you know what my costs were. I don't have paypal or do I want it. Check, nearly worthless American script, camera gear, winning loto tickets, insider stock tips all accepted.

Too bad Im on the other side of the country. One of these would be an awesome addition to my collection.

Geez, Sam, what did Paypal ever do to you?

But seriously, Paypal is actually a pretty useful method of transferring money online. Lots of larger retail merchants, including many photography vendors, are accepting it as payment these days, even B & H. But I find that it's most useful for two things:
1) Accepting money from other folks for small stuff like camera straps
2) Buying from smaller web vendors with whom I don't have a relationship and don't want to entrust with my CC info.

I had a paypal account at one time. I needed to contact them about something. I could not find a phone number and was led to believe there wasn't any phone I could use to speck to anyone there. I tried to e-mail my question but could not get an answer.

You want to trust your money to these guys. you are free to do so.

I only do business with one company that doesn't have a phone number. They do answer e-mails very quickly, I never feel like I am shouting into a digital void. I know where they live, they only have a glass door, rocks are nearby, the guard dog is toothless and the employees are sequestered in separate dark hidden caverns.

They do have customer service and a phone number, however, it is a PITA to find. There are many reasons not to use PayPal but, for me, too many other reasons to use it. I don't tend to keep much money in it unless I know I'm buying something though.
