Detailed Image News Blog

After several hours of downtime we’ve completed the aforementioned server upgrade.  The site is now fully back online.  If you run in to any issues please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

This evening Friday 1/6/2012 we will be upgrading Detailed Image to a new server beginning roughly at 5:30 PM EST. We expect that this will take a few hours.

During this time you will be able to browse our site, read articles, and even add products to your shopping cart, but for your security you will be unable to log in or to make a purchase.  We will also be posting a message at the top of every page on the website to inform visitors of what’s happening.

As soon as the migration is complete and we’ve completed our testing we will remove that message from the site, restore the ability to log in and checkout, and post another message on this blog.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.  We look forward to providing you with an even better shopping experience on this newer, faster, and more powerful platform!

One of the most common requests that we receive during the holiday season is for a wish list feature. With our new “Save Cart” option, creating and sharing a wish list is simple:

• Add all of the products on your wish list to your cart.
• Click the “Save Cart” button.
• You’ll be directed to a permanent link for your wish list (something like www.DetailedImage.com/Cart-Saved/123456/). You can share that link with anyone you wish. For their convenience, there is an “Add All To Cart” button that allows them to quickly add all of the items on your list to their cart. This saves them from having to visit each product individually.

Here are a few screenshots to illustrate:

We are expecting to experience a short amount of downtime due to regular server maintenance on Friday morning 3/26/2010 between approximately 4 AM and 5 AM. During this time you will likely not be able to browse the site or place orders. We anticipate that by 5 AM we will be back up and running. If you have any questions, please contact adam [at] detailedimage [dot] com.

At Detailed Image we are firm believers in bettering this world and the environment. We work hard to continuously improve our business while becoming more environmentally friendly at the same time. Please take a few moments to look at some of the positive changes we have made to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Packing Peanuts – These anti-static peanuts are 100% organic, so they are totally biodegradable even by the tough ISO definition. There are no petrochemicals used so they are completely safe for both the environment and people. They are even edible, although they taste quite bland. When these peanuts are disposed of, water quickly breaks them down into inert proteins that are readily absorbed by soil bacteria, making them some of the most environmentally friendly peanuts ever created.

Other Packing Materials – We receive hundreds of boxes each month that are often filled with traditional peanuts, bubble wrap, stuffing, etc. We wanted to stop re-using these materials but we did not want to trash them. We now use a website called www.freecycle.org which helps us pass along these materials to others and keep them out of landfills. Please take some time to check out this website and see if you can participate.

Cardboard Recycling Dumpster – Instead of trashing our cardboard we use a cardboard recycling dumpster. Even though it requires us to have a separate dumpster from our trash we feel it is well worth it to know it will not go to a land fill.

Paper – We use recycled paper for invoices and internal documents. So every receipt you get is on recycled paper. Scrap paper is reused as note pads, etc. so it doesn’t go to waste. Instead of making paper copies we back up our information online to reduce the amount of paper we use.

Water Bottles and Cans – We insist that our employees recycle all their cans and bottles. Too often trashing them is the easiest way out.

Bags – We often receive many products in large bags, which we recycle throughout the warehouse. We primarily use them as trash bags so they don’t go to waste.
