Container door have Weber kettle BBQs (a proper charcoal BBQ - gas is not barbecueing) for three hunge. Same item $499 here so a no brainer. Get this: $60 to ship it Christchurch ex Auckland.
I had a waaaaaa at them to show them the error of their ways. I'll post the response. How will they know if I don't give them feedback huh?
Lets be careful out there!
Weber BBQ shipping
The ship cost to Christchurch is obscene. I only went through with it because I still save around $150 from buying local 300 metres from my house.
You could have sold me a stainless steel wooden top roll cab except you wanted to charge me $182 to get it from Auckland. Not happening. I have a quote on my desk for a Powerbuilt one (bigger, sturdier) for $1020 including GST. Yours at $679 plus (get this) $182 for shipping means the Powerbuilt one wins.
Here's a thing: your ship cost to customers isn't supposed to be your major profit centre. And I simply do not believe you if you tell me you're passing on at cost. If you are you (and by extension your customers) are getting ripped off. I deal professionally with some freight forwarders - I will give you a referral if you like.
LIke I say - you could have sold a grands worth of stuff this morning but you only sold $350 - your loss.
Cheers otherwise.
