IKEA home furnishings are a giant and stories like this one are pretty much normal for any giant out there. Too much logistics, inventory and there you have it. I bet that if one orders a shipload of flat pack furniture assembly included the IKEA operator might actually reconsider...

I've wanted the PERFECT picture frames for about 8 months now. My parents were able to find 2 of the 4 I wanted at Christmas, but my closest store (3 hours away) has been out of them since. This week my husband was in Atlanta on business and I sent him on a trek to get the frames and guess what - they're out there too. And no, not available for purchase online.

Interesting discussion. I am based in China now, close to Shanghai but NOT in Shanghai. I really really want to buy a lamp in Ikea (and many things more) but I am not going to Shanghai only for Ikea and besides I don't drive so it would be really annoying carrying the stuff the whole way. I really don't understand why Ikea don't sell online. I am willing to pay and extra cost for delivering.

How sad that it's been 2 years since this article was written and Ikea still has not improved their online entity!

Re: Ms. Lube's Upset About Branding Change

Rcsb1329 — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:58:57 -0000

They are not going to court because the name "lube" is in her name. They're going to court because she is using the name to imply that she is associated with MR.LUBE and therefore using the lack of knowledge of consumers to her advantage and grabbing the profits of Mr.Lube. Also, Ms.Lube would undoubtly take profits away from Mr.Lube. If the roles were reversed, it would be the same issue. If they were going to court simply for the "LUBE" part of the name, the Mr.Sub could sue Subway for the word "Sub".

BTW, just because you say your a patent and trademark lawyer doesnt make you one. And if by chance you are, then you cant be a very good one for missing the extremely obvious.

Re: Ms. Lube's Upset About Branding Change

Rcsb1329 — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:38:32 -0000

Of course there is lots of companies with "Lube" in it. Just there's companies with "Sub" I.E Mr.Sub Subway etc. Thats not the issue, what is the issue, is she intentionally used that name to imply that her company is a part of Mr. Lube and that the investor she named would love the idea. She can plead ignorance or sexism all she wants, fact is, she did it with the sole intention of grabbing a piece of the customer pie already established by Mr.Lube. Had she used her "Mechanchix" name, their wouldnt be an issue, she may have even gotten some investor money, but she didnt. The infringement is she used a similar name and similar colour scheme to fool customers.

I really like the weblog. Excellent publish. It is very real, individuals must understand how to understand before they can understand. lol i know it appears to be crazy but its very true.

There are lots of companies with "lube" in the name, like Jiffy Lube.
Ms is different than Mr....where is the infringement here? It looks more like bullying
To me.

Re: Outbound vs Inbound Marketing

Robert Benwell — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 03:15:13 -0000

Inbound marketing refers to the organic result you have able to obtained while having that business campaign on your website. This inbound marketing is the most important thing in business. It shows how productive is your business.

I just watched the show. Oh good grief, get over it!!! Everybody and their dog in oil change has lube in the name. Its a shame when filthy rich and greedy buzzards feel they have the right to screw people. I was impressed with the girls, yes, the name is close, who cares!!! Its just like an x cop to bully people around, duh!!!! Your not on the job anymore!!! Get over it! Most certainly, I will never eat in another Boston Pizza, or anything flatfoot owns. I am going to ask every body I know to boycot this guy! As for the show, I am getting tired of the constant "I want 50%". I sell millions in sales a year, and the proof is still always in the pudding. I think the oldtimer needs to relax, if his Mr. Lubes are doing their job right, they will have "their customers". Thats the first and foremost rule of business. Do it well, the first time. I still am in full suport of the girls, the font was a no no, but still, lets live and let live. I am glad I am a christian, because the greed some of dragons people reflect is a ticket to HELL. I wont have to worry that they will be in heaven to screw that up too!

My prayers are with you girls,

Sincerely R
