I'm afraid you're wrong my dear - and even though I prefer the longforte boxes (as they for me seem to have a more 'snug' fit, I really can't justify spending £40 on shipping.....I'm not sure you're right about that...You piqued my curiousity about this as I go through these regularly and buy from Longforte at the moment. I've just added a bundle of 100 from Subliblanks and 100 from Longforte into my basket and I'm getting a very different result and I don't even have a discount code...Pictures attached of both baskets. Got a saving of £1.21 from Longforte...enough for a small KitKat nowadays! lol :)
Subliblanks (£34.80):
Longforte (£33.59):
it is, quite frankly, rather poo!
@theTbird.
I have just tried the exact same order, applied the same postal code, Leicestershire as the county and UK in the address section and it comes out as Total £400.80, VAT content £66.80 and shipping is shown as -£6.00 which is normal.
On Longforte?!
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for your message.
Our site is built to charge by weight. Unfortunately it's not 'smart' enough yet to charge pallet rates based off postcodes which are much cheaper than couriers especially on larger orders. Where customers have overpaid we call them immediately and refund any additional postage or encourage large orders to call us as we can often offer a better unit price than what is on the site and also save on the shipping.
We don't offer free carriage as we operate on low margins however we always subsidise our pallet deliveries and since we don't make anything on the postage it's in our interests to keep the charge as low as possible.
Hope that helps but as always feel free to drop me or the team a line if you have any questions! :)
Kind regards,
Jay
