With regard to postage:
I'm trying to charge the bare minimum for postage. Where big companies charge say a £3 flat rate for a most parcels, which is quite a lot for small things but cheap for larger stuff, I have tried to minimise the cost specific to what is to be sent (t-shirts of course!).
Out of the £14, £1.50 is budgeted for postage and packaging. This, in my experience, is the bare minimum. If I send two t-shirts the cost of postage jumps up a category both in weight and size of parcel. Therefore the price is £28, with £3.00 for P&P. However, a third shirt only adds marginally to the cost of sending. To clarify then:
Prices including postage:
1 t-shirt - £14
2 t-shirts - £28
3 t-shirts - £41
4 t-shirts - £53
I like to offer deals so that the you get a discount for ordering more than one, but I've instead decided to make them as cheap as is reasonably possible for everyone, not just those who want and can afford two or three. I hope this is satisfactory.
Please note that shipping abroad is possible but will add slightly to the cost. It's not much more to be honest. I'll work this out according to the destination and order, so please PM me for details.
Thank you.
