Just to say that Joe has taken this on board on adjusted his shipping rates. He figured out how to do it and now if you just order one slim lightweight thing that can go letter post you will only be charged 99p postage. He has also brought the postage cost of bulkier items down to £2.99 now seeing as he is using Hermes which are cheaper.thenorthwind wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 10:06 pm Somehow I found enough things that I don't know I needed that I ended up qualifying for free postageInitially I was looking out of a desire to reward Joe's entrepreneurism, but I found stuff that I wasn't aware of, and genuinely think will be useful, and I think the prices are very reasonable (I hope he's got his margins right and it's worth his time).
The other thing I would suggest, and I wish I could suggest the same to 90% of online retailers, is to make the cost of postage clear. It's a bugbear of mine: shops often advertise a lower limit for free postage, but so often I just want to know whether postage on one small cheap item is going to be a deal-breaker, and resent having to add an item to my basket, go to the checkout, sometimes even put in an address or register (which generally I just won't bother doing) to find out it's going to cost £5 to send my £3 item.
In fact, following on from that, since Joe has a lot of light, compact items (by definition) for sale, it might attract more people to have a lower rate of postage for things that will go large letter (assuming he's using Royal Mail). Just a thought.
if any of his customers who ordered prior to the change are pissed off about this then please let me know and we will sort something out to try and keep you happy.
