2025-08-27 - SHIPMENT TO THE USA

2025-07-25 - SERVER ONLINE AGAIN

What a non fun ... from July-20 till today our webshop was offline. Someone found a door and put the server offline. I saw this not earlier than today due to family circumstances. Measures have been taken. And we are checking the route of the burglar and if possible will start legal procedures. 

2025-07-02 - SUMMER HOLIDAY JULY-4 TILL JULY-19

We make a two week pit stop July-4 till July-19. Thursday afternoon (July-3) will be our latest dispatch day this week. Orders are as always welcome. FIFO after our holiday break.

We have access to our order pages again. Orders dispatched between June-09 and June-30 may accidently not been complete we figured out. If applicable we will contact the customer! An extra thank you to all those who bought in this period.

2025-06-18 - TECHNICAL PROBLEMS - UPDATE 1

The homepage looks fine again. So we expect the customer experience will be as usual we hope. Let us know!

PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL DIRECTLY AFTER YOUR PURCHASE! We are still not able to open orders. please send us an email directly after your purchase so we can contact you for details of your order and very important: to inform you about the dispatch (tracking details etc).

2025-06-09 - TECHNICAL PROBLEMS / PAYMENT MODULE

We are experiencing problems with our software which you already may have noticed (strange text at the top of the page). My apologies. After trying to update a product something went wrong: that is nothing happened and the page was blocked. I could not solve it and above all my programmer - whom I helped with his personal and professional life - seems to be vanished. I cannot reach him at right this moment. So I am looking for a Prestashop developer: if you know someone, please let me know!

If you order and pay it may you do not receive a receipt for your payment although you have paid! And I cannot change it in the back office - administration part of the webshop - also. And I cannot see or print your order. PayPal let me know you have paid aslo where you paid for. So do not worry if you paid. From now on I will send you a message to inform you.

The GOOD NEWS is you can order any available product and pay.

Please contact me if you need help or have a question: rubberfun.nl@gmail.com / whatsapp +31 6 20168707

Please do not app me during evenings - 5PM till 8AM European Time(!) - and weekends. You may try and maybe you have luck, but normally I need some rest like every human being ;-).  

Take care.

 

2025-05-14 - NEW PRODUCTS: INFLATABLES

Probably some of you already got a glimpse via Instagram and Fetlife of some inflatable 'private items'. An influencer thought I used them all be before I sell them. Well if you see them you can understand some items need quite some practical training. 

2025-04-15 NEW STOCK: POPPERIZERS

They have arrived At last. Our medical quality vaporizers or 'popperizers' as we call them. Well, you know what we mean.

LONGER LEADTIME LATEX CLOTHING. Our business partner for latex clothing cannot guarantee the processing time of clothing orders due to longstanding labour shortage. For us this is unacceptable. We therefore decided to fully reverse all payments made for this purpose if the leading time is 3+ months. We will first inform the affected customers.

2023-09-25

WEBSHOP DAMAGED. During our summer holiday the payment module of my webshop did not work. Soon after returning home it became clear that the module was made corrupt. No orders during more than 2 weeks. We managed to get a new payment module online the same day with help of a new developer. Once repaired however and although we blocked the former developer, we could not enter the back office, the administrative section of the webshop.  And that was just the beginning of a very bad dream: invoice template ruined, photos altered or removed, database changed in many places and also a ddos attack. figured out that the former web developer was the cause of this all. But why? He did not tell when asked. So we have to guess: the 3 stars instead of 5 stars we gave him for the job done. And there were very good reasons to give no more than that. He asked on several occasions more money but above all we did not get the responsive webshop we asked and agreed. We hired the developer via a professional freelance platform and hopefully we will see all paid costs back. 

2023-09-01

Much longer than anticipated the new rubberfun webshop is online. A new webshop template plus migrating to another, much faster provider, testing et cetera meant much more work. But that is okay. Now waiting for the first orders

2023-03-06

Last week first tests on the desktop version of the new webshop have been successful. Incredible faster. The webshop should work well on desktop, handy and tablet. The focus is now on the latter two. When all the design work has been done, the real challenge will come: buying tests from my selected volunteers.

2023-02-01

After a selection process I found a good and affordable webshop developer who has already started bringing Rubberfun to the next level. It involves upgrading the webshop software engine (Prestashop), tackling some severe problems, migrating to a new hosting provider and making a new design (based on my ideas).

2023-01-01

A new year! Happy (rubbery) New Year everyone! This is our first news item on our Rubberfun webshop. I know; it is anti-dated because you could not see it on the old webshop and the new one came into existence March 2023. WHAT WILL BRING 2023? New products will come certainly (we always have plenty of ideas but it is the time who doesn’t like to cooperate). But the most important new development is: Rubberfun 2.0! A new webshop which will be much faster, make it easier to find products, inform you better, lacking the payment problems and shipping issues and of course it will keep the rubber fetish look and feel.
