Greeting Cards Bought In Uk

Because the company that makes the cards can't ship them for free?

Thanks Heather - but that doesn't answer my question - I could buy with any online company here in the UK and only be charged 0.60p shipping - same with another company I sell with. They rarely charge over £1 and the cards are more than fine. Sadly, though they do not offer the next business day service.

I have my base price as low as I can afford to make it, with shipping on top it pushes an average card up to £6+ Call me Scrooge, but I refuse to pay £6 for a greeting card! Even my own!

if you like me, you can print your own card with a photo printer.

Neat so shipping on cards in the and from the US is now free?

Hi Alfred.

LOL - Whilst you are perfectly right — it was more out of principal - It's also made me realise that anyone buying from the UK will avoid purchasing from my site. So, guess it's answered a marketing issue.

Another site I deal with has the same card for £3.06 ho hum....

Thanks anyway.

To give a counter-example, shipping a 9 foot wide canvas in the US from FAA costs around $435. Shipping a 9 foot wide canvas in the UK from FAA costs £12.24. I know which I'd rather have cheap shipping on, but then I don't sell cards.

Yes but I'm not buying a Canvas Alexis it's a card. That thing that gets looked at for two seconds then thrown in a bin! I may as well send a canvas..it's ruddy cheaper!
