I expect most of you are aware but just in case Royal Mail have reintroduced the collection charge, currently 30p per parcel.
shooting themselves in the foot a little bit more…
Not if you have your dhop integrated with Click & Drop
See this thread
Royal Mail Click and Drop/ Collect charge
You can just build the 30p into your postage charges, same as sellers who offer 'Free Postage ’ it’s built into the item price, just saying
I can’t do that Helen.. @HelenCliffordArt .too complicated for me and I have no idea what it means to integrate something… I want my items collected as I cannot get to the post box… I struggle with apps and IT stuff.
Steve @linthamdesigns If I increase my postage charges any more it will cancel out the few sales that I get…If I increase the cost of my cards then people will just not buy any more. It is bad enough that the PO has increased the cost of stamps and if people buy more than 5 cards, the extra ( per item) charge for postage, would not cover the extra 30p charge. and would also be unfair on those who only bought 2 or 3 cards and incurred the higher 2nd price… and I don’t want the aggro of doing refunds.
I am aware of that Steve been in business a looonnng time.
Don’t think it will be long before they start changing the intergrated accounts, as the bigger businesses still have to send out 1000’s a year before they even qualify to get a collection and still have to pay for it
Okay, but my comment wasn’t necessarily meant for you, just the community as a whole,
