THOUGHTS ON POSTAGE - OR WOULD GETTING FREE POSTAGE ON ORDERS OVER £40 REALLY BE FREE FOR YOU?

I started Chinchilla Lady 7 years ago with the intention of providing 'safe affordable' products for small rodents as I, like so many others, had bought 'safe' items from well know pet shops only to find out they were far from 'safe'.
Over the years I've slowly expanded my range and despite rising costs in both bought in items and consumables I've stuck to my ethos of 'safe affordable' products and believe I'm still one of the cheapest companies in the UK.

The question why I charge postage even on larger orders occasionally crops up so I thought I'd take the time to explain plus hopefully get fed back from yourselves as to whether you feel this is the way to continue.

So here goes:-
Despite postage going up yet again I am still charging a flat rate of £4 per order - this doesn't cover the cost of the 1st class tracked parcel service let alone the box, internal packaging, the printing of your invoice or postage label but it does help.
If I were to offer free p&p on orders over £40 the only way to economically do this would be to increase the cost of the products to you.
An example:-
You buy 10 toys @ £4 each, totally £40 plus £4 p&p equalling £44
To cover the cost of the postage etc these toys now cost £4.50
so:- 10 x £4.50 equals £45
You've actually spent an extra £1 to get your free p&p.
Also - and this is a big sticking point for me alot of my customers cannot afford £40 per order so instead of getting 5 toys for £20 they are only getting 4 PLUS they still have to pay p&p.
I'm really really reluctant to hit these customers with a price hike I'm doing for the wrong reasons.

So my thoughts are I continue with the flat rate of £4 plus the free gift which generally comes to around that for orders over £40 ( excluding p&p) which in reality means you are actually getting free delivery.

So lets hear everyones' thoughts, I'm quite happy to run a poll - if someone can show me how !!

On another note tomorrow starts the second week of Mad March which means two specials per day plus Saturdays are now officially 'Super Saturdays' so on each and every Saturday there will be 4 specials - makes it easier for those who struggle to get online midweek for the Wednesday Special - although these will resume next month.

Thank you as always for supporting me plus taking the time to read this and hopefully leave your views on the p&p debate.

If any of my customers need clean unused newspapers let me know when you place an order and I will pop some in - got plenty here at the moment x

28/02/2025

March - the official month of madness so here at Chinchilla Lady we thought instead of the usual Wednesday 'Special' we'd have a different 'Special' each and every day of the month.
The 'Special' will appear each day by 6.30am, it might be a single item, a toy, a pack, something new, totally random it will remain for 24 hours then be replaced by the new 'Special'.
No announcements, no promoting, it's up to you to find it.

The March Box is:-
5 x 4" brown vine balls filled with meadow hay and dried marigold flowers
5 x 3" vine balls filled with meadow hay and dried flowers
5 x large vine tear drops filled with meadow hay and dried flowers complete with a hazel stand.
Priced individually £18.85
March Box £15.99

Continuing with the madness spend £40.00 excluding p&p and receive the Hanging Bamboo Ball Toy completely free, spend £60 excluding p&p and receive 100g of organic cleaned and baked apple sticks along with the Bamboo Hanging Toy.

Match starts tomorrow 😉

Thank you as always to everyone who continues to support me x

28/02/2025

Last day for the February box plus free hearts and flowers special for orders over £40.00 excluding p&p, will be announcing March deals later today.

Have a good day everyone x
