Beers n Bears wird jetzt als Ergänzung zu seinem Kanada-Shop zusätzlich eine Community aufbauen, in der sich Kunden und Freunde austauschen können. Es wird u.a. auch die Möglichkeit geben, das die Mitglieder hier einen eigenen Blog installieren oder eine eigene Informationsseite aufbauen können.

Beers n Bears Gold Community

Außerdem wird es einen Chatroom, eine Bild-Datenbank und vieles mehr geben. Wir möchten aber darauf hinweisen, dass wir uns noch in der Entwicklungsphase befinden und das sich die Beers n Bears Gold Community noch in der Beta-Phase befindet. Trotzdem freuen wir uns natürlich auf Ihr Feedback, weitere Ideen und Ihre Verbesserungsvorschläge.

Hier geht es direkt zur Community.

Deutscher Paketdienst

Das Wichtigste im Versandgeschäft ist und bleibt die Versanddauer. Gerade in der Weihnachtszeit spielt es für die Kunden eine wesentliche Rolle, dass die bestellte Ware auch rechtzeitig beim Kunden eintrifft. Da wir von Beers n Bears bisher die besten Erfahrungen mit dem Versender DPD gemacht haben, werden wir die Zusammenarbeit mit diesem Versand-Spezialisten weiter ausbauen. Wenn Sie mehr über DPD erfahren wollen, dann klicken Sie hier.
