S&H for bulk order

[K-Sound Krew]

The US bulk order is coming to a close
Haven't got to S&H yet
Want to get a quick pole on something

It's easier for me to take the S&H total and divide by the number of heads on the order (I'm not making any profit btw)

But it's not fair for the person who orders a single 901 kit compared to the person who orders:
36mg no (500ml)
36mg 555 (100ml)
36mg cream (100ml)
36mg vanilla (100ml)
36mg Ry4 (100ml)
2-401
24-401 chargers
24-901 chargers
1-ladypipe


So is it right for me to charge everyone the same because it's easier on myself?

The CT price is 1/3-1/5th the price of the suppliers so it's still a deal as far as I'm concerened
The more you order it becomes an even better deal

Isn't that the point of a bulk order?

What do you think?

I agree it's not really equitable but I vote in favor of making it the easiest for you K. After all, there's got to be some recompense for you in all of this...LOL

I don't know about anyone else....but that's my vote.

I also agree... whatever is easiest for you should be the way to go! I can't even imagine putting all of this together like you have... thanks again for all of your hard work in getting this order together K-Sound!

 

[gryffandor]

Go with what's quickest for you. You already have spent too much of you time helping everyone out.

 

[aasupplyny]

I agree.. you decide whats best, I'll still be saving either way.

 

[yvilla]

Yes, divide evenly. Then let Brian thank all of us!

If it were me I would tally up the tottal amount of items ordered and add the shipping for each item.


Example

200 items shipped to you and shipping was lets say 109. That would be .545 so lets make it .55 per item.

So now Joe Blow ordered 2 items so he gets charged the cost of the 2 items plus $1.10 for the shipping to your location plus actual shipping cost to his location.

Sally ordered 15 items so sally pays for the items plus $8.25 plus actual shipping to her location.

Here's why that wouldn't work. For ease sake, let's use 200 items...total shipping $200 say.

If I order 5-901s, I would have to pay $5 shipping...but that would in no way equal the weight of 5 bottles of .56kg liquid....and that person pays $5 too? They charge by weight. One bottle of that liquid is actually around $20 to ship. I'm sure a 901 kit would be much less.

By dividing the total equally, the hardware people are paying a good portion of the liquid cost to ship...but it would be way too much work to do it differently....and besides, it will still be pretty cheap.

im a little concerned on the shipping still..do we have any actual numbers yet?

I replied on the other thread jager.

PS...don't be too worried about it. If it's too much for you, someone else said they would take a 3rd one if needed....so if you need to back out, don't worry about it.

The example below would be the accurate but...

Total shipping :$200
Total weight of merchandise:1000lbs
$200 /$1000 =0.2 or 20%
so... everyones shipping cost is 20% of the weight of items
now....
joe blow ordered 500lbs x .02= $100 =his shipping cost

A lot easier pluggin this into an excel formula but he'd still have to figure out the weight of each item and add up everyones totals.......

Yeh, I guess that's the part we're trying to spare K. This is hard work! lol

[OutWest]

could also do it by % of total price rather than weight. Ie: if total shipping was 20% of total purchase price, then if bought $100 would pay $120. That'd make the hardware people end up paying more than the liquid people, because the liquid cost more to ship, thus not being fair to the hardware people. But, there's really not a 100% fair way to do it unless you weigh everything, which is a huge pain.

 

[ZambucaLu]

You're right....there really is no fair way without weighing and figuring all that out

One thing might be to divide total number of products by the entire shipping cost. That still isn't 100% equitable but it would be more fair if someone bought 4 big bottles of liquid as opposed to someone who bought say, one pipe.

This could be an alternative to dividing by number of buyers, couldn't it?

Anyone have suggestions that would make for an easy calculation?

[Jammi98]

Well this is not exact, but it might help. This is without weighing anything. I'm just going by how heavy items feel to me when I heft them. Feel free to adjust

Make every 50ml count as "1 unit". Make every kit or 5 of atomizer/battery/charger count as "1 unit". I don't have enough boxed carts around, but I'm thinking probably 25-30 would be close to "1 unit". Add number of units and divide shipping by the total units to get your base rate per "1 unit". For ease of calculation any partials (2 atomizers or 10 carts for instance) would be "1 unit". Then just multiply out per number of "units" each person has ordered.

 

[rsmith76]

Let the hardware people pay 40% of the shipping and the liquid people pay 60%. Or make it 35% and 65%. What does everyone think?

Can u find out the total shipping amount with our order as it is, and then we can talk about how to divide it?

edited: Not sure if I made it in the order. K can u let me know?
