    Royal Mail Tracked 24/48 Profile Review

    Unless your items are of a very high value or you are selling to very dodgy customers then i would just use the normal parcel and large letter post. Since they have added the 2d barcode system all items are tracked (not that you get any details) and you finally get delivery conformation. Cant...

    Impact of Brexit on your business - good or bad

    I have noticed that some not all EU countries want you to add a CN22 note with the HS export code, description, weight and price (via Royal Mail click & Drop). If this is eventually going to be a requirement regardless of being in or out of the EU, there will be no time advantage of being in the...

    Thanks all, I dint actually bother looking at DHL as recently there prices have been high compared to UPS and the likes, however i have just looked and it is about £23 without any account so they are actually cheaper than most other's. Obviously there are cheaper ways but as Mr says and from...

    Sending small parcels to China...Who to use

    Can anyone recommend the most reliable way to send parcels to China, 20 x 15 x 1cm and only about 300g. The cheapest way is probably to just post it, but is the postal service reliable in China and how long would it take? The value is about £900 for each parcel and it could be anywhere in China...

    Paid via Bank Transfer

    Thanks Newchodge, I obvious know the risks of cheque payments and refunds, wasn't aware of a date on which it becomes unrecoverable for a transfer, as i thought once it was received it can not be claimed back. This is actually for a very small amount, so it dos not matter to much, just got me...

    Paid via Bank Transfer

    If i accept a payment via an International bank transfer, how safe is the money once paid? Can it be claimed back for whatever reason, such as fraudulent use of an account? And is it totally safe to give out your IBAN / account number? I thought it was safe, but is it? Thanks

    Postage of Bubbles

    I think most couriers will happy to take the parcel, but they will not cover you for any damage. UPS and Parcelforce do cover you but you need to book direct and not via a 3rd party such as Parcel2go. As Mr D says try and open a Royal Mail account and send it with other light parcels to bring...

    Getting paid, business not ready...

    Thank you all. Re payment terms on the quotation, i am not particularly bothered about this one other than it could set a precedent on when they pay in future. Typically the other companies who have been buying these items have a long ongoing relationship and pay on account within 30 days. Is it...

    Getting paid, business not ready...

    serendipitybusiness - Thanks, its actually the far east in the electronics industry (not that it makes a real difference). Is it better to be a limited or as a partnership, I'm not sure if you need to produce more detailed accounts and accountant fees for a ltd. company compared to a simple...

    But do you need a licence to sell prepackaged already certified organic by the manufacture? If so why and how do shops overcome this?

    Organic Certification

    Excuse my ignorance but do you actually need to be certified yourself if you are only selling prepacked certified organic food? What happens when the manufacture uses a different organic certifying body to certify the food, how does that effect your Soil association certification? How do...
