posting mugs

[hannahvidler]

evening everyone does anyone know if theres anything cheaper than royal mail to send mugs as £2.80 per mug is bloody steep as were only selling singley at the moment

Actually its £2.85 and due to go up in March!! You could get a Royal Mail account and that does reduce the price a bit! But you should be passing the cost of postage onto your customers anyway!

my hermes seems a little cheaper

[James990]

How much cheaper?

[hannahvidler]

0.3kg £2.70 including vat 2 day delivery

[hannahvidler]

up to a 2 kilo parcel still only 2.70

[James990]

Hum, now that is a bit cheaper and makes one think about sending the mugs this way. Anyone any good or bad thoughts about My hermes?

[hannahvidler]

also found cheap polystyrene mug boxes don't think get any cheaper than these people

Depends very much on who the courier is in the delivery area. We don't use them to send anything out because of the volume we send but I know a couple of the drivers here and one is brilliant, goes out of her way to deliver, whereas the other doesn't... So hit & miss from that pov. Also when we have used them in the past I've found the lower shipping price can mean it takes a while to get anywhere.

Don't know if that helps at all!
