read the other threads on this......

got my site about finished.

problem = postage charges.

if one person buys 1 mug @ say £5...p&p = approx £2.20nd class

if same person buys 4 mugs @ £5 = £20 + 4x £2.20 = £8.80....

how can i offer discount on postage the more you buy ?

the cart software cant do it auto for me.....so what do i do regarding postage ?



i will be offering free postage after £60

Can't your cart software work with weight rather than value?

aye justin

works with weight,price and quantity.

since i dont know the weight of things till i buy em, its kinda hard to get prices worked out...

is there anywhere that can give me the weights of sub items ?

don't change post and pack - make it an incentive to buy more stuff, - you make a profit on 1 item, break even on 2, but thou post costs more than £5 for 3+ items, you are selling more stuff!

You really a set of scales, get exact weights of blanks and also packaged items, packed the way you want them sending!

I set my postage according to weight and it works ok.

You can pick up a leaflet at any post office with all the postal charges listed for letter, large letter and packet/parcel all in different weights. You're going to have to find out what postal boxes you're going to be using, weight the finished item/s and sort out p&p that way.

Yes, there used to be a pdf to download, or you can pick the leaflet up at the post office. You need to know what type of box your going to use as some weigh heavier than others.

Have you looked at the price when you send by a carrier? I use DPD and they charge 5€ up to 2kg and 7€ up to 5kg. And thats including tax.
Post is just for letters and small packets.
