    Interlink prices

    Thanks everyone. I don't think I was clear though. I wondered if that was the cheapest price they could offer? I pay slightly more than £5.50 per parcel but wondered how much it would go down with mass volumes. I do think its reasonable and I have just moved over to them. APC were slightly...

    Interlink prices

    Hi all. Interlink have told me £5.50 is the cheapest they charge for parcel sending. Not a bag just a parcel. Even if I sent 500 a week this would be the lowest price. Seems too high to me. What do you all think? Thanks, Billy.

    Family business and brother keeps making mistakes!

    No idea whatsoever! The shakes are together on the packing form and in a different area of our small storeroom. It was the last shake flavour on the list. So he took 4 from the correct place, 1 after another. And then took the completely wrong 1 for the last part, from the wrong place. It...

    Family business and brother keeps making mistakes!

    Hi. Thanks for your response. I agree they are very basic mistakes! He made it clear when he started that he just wants to be an employee and not really get involved in decisions or whys and wherefores. Which was fine. We have tried lots to help him and changed forms which he thought would...

    Family business and brother keeps making mistakes!

    We run a small diet food business which involves the packing and sending of items to customers from a range of over 100 items. So picking and packing is a major job and we have employed my brother to do this full time. Working with family is a better environment for us, it's more relaxed than a...

    Please can someone help me with dreaded VAT?

    Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to help me. Your comments are right about my knowledge, I have an accountant for this very reason. I am fine with most financial options but VAT just will not work in my head (or on paper). I have a blank with it that I just cant seem to get...

    Thanks fisicx. The company is based in Nottingham. They only one office and are quite small. They are still working on it. We recently had a small update and supposedly are "testing" a way of keeping a customer record so we can access previous orders and data rather than making a new record...
