Hi folks
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but it's kinda about e-commerce, but not, lol.
Here goes...
I'm looking at installing a shop into my www.bigmix.co.uk site. the shop would be seling party goods, fancy dress costumes, Wedding Favours, etc etc etc.
Here's my problem...
The suppliers I'm currently using don't offer free shipping until yo order over £125.00 worth of items, which is fair enough.
I don't want to carry endless items of stock just to not have to pay £7.00 in postage.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to have a customer order something, then I put an order through to the supplier and they send to me etc etc.
How do I get the balance between being competitive price wise and not carry tons of stock. Ideally I'd like not to have to carry any stock at all, but I doubt that's realistic.
I doubt I've explained myself very well, but I hope you get the idea of what I'm trying to achieve.
Cheers
Darren
