    Fulfillment services for startups

    Thanks mike.. I have also thought of a couple of other things: 4) Why go to all that trouble of researching/appointing a fulfilment house, when your time is needed on getting your new business off the ground? the investment in time in appointing a fulfilment house wont be returned for some...

    Fulfillment services for startups

    I dont post on here very often now, but wanted to add my penny's worth. Previous to running my own business I worked in direct marketing for 15 years, including stints in large fulfiment houses. Having seen both sides, I would never advise a start up to use a fulfiment house initially, why...

    Royal Mail Strikes - Starting to Panick!

    Yes, but the problem is freestyle that Royal Mail doesnt exist in the realm of real world economics - its caught between market forces where competitors cream off the best bits, but they still have to deliver it to the door and being hamstrung over pricing. Believe me, Im not on the side of the...

    Royal Mail Strikes - Starting to Panick!

    I have to say that the CWU letter looked quite reasonable as a basis for discussion and I cant really see how the RM can refuse to agree to this in principal. Believe me as a business owner who sends out only items under 200g (but not DL letters!) and so rely totally on Royal Mail, I would be...

    Do Brits hate success?

    I agree. We should care how the government spends every penny of our taxes and NI, after all we are the ones who have worked hard to earn it. And while I believe that politics and many apsects of our society are in a bad way, I still also believe that we as voters very much have the power to...

    Do Brits hate success?

    With respect, I think you have missed the point, I would have no problem with Sir Fred retiring on his massive pension if he had been successful, grown RBS, created jobs and security for his employees etc etc.. .. But he didnt, through his "leadership" he has turned a successful 200 year old...

    Should overweight people paying more on planes?

    I have to say I am with Sirearl on this one.. The NHS is "free at the point of use" but its NOT free - we all pay for it in our taxes, NI or whatever.. We all accept that insurance companies will load thier premiums based on lifestyle, so why shouldnt the health service do the same? Why...

    Should Gurkhas have the right to settle in the UK?

    Unfortunately, Sirearl seems to be on of the masses of people in this country who believe in nothing and view anyone who does believe in something with a cynical eye. Its these people who just look at their own little world and don't care about anything else, who allow the this government to...
