So the TipTree will end up 12 times more expensive huuuuu.
Just checked on-line the price for BOnne Maman strawberry. So my jar of strawberry would therefore cost me 5 + 5pounds, 10 pounds, which is 14 Euros at today's exchange rate. It gets even better for heavy stuff : up to 30kg, it's only 12 pounds, which is twice cheaper than the normal price. 2) Shipping is 5 pounds up to 1kg, 8 pounds up to 2kg, which is the same we get charged by transporters here for local / national destinations. That explains why the jar costs twice the normal price, 5 instead of 2+. So that's why they can sell 'DDP', duty paid. 1) They opened recently a warehouse in Mainland Europe, in the Netherlands, to make it easier admin-wise to sell stuff to continental citizens. Just clicked here and there on that British Corner website, have answers now. They must a hidden agenda of losing any and all customers so they can go bankrupt and fire everybody. same with the French Post, it's a total ripoff and gets worse and worse every year. I also suspect that, post Brexit, English food might have a hard time with French customs unless managed by someone who knows the right person to bribe.įuck royal mail.
By way of contrast I just got my latest consignment of PCBs from China and the postage on that was £2.01 airmail and took 7 days - posting a "small parcel" in the UK to the UK would cost £3.20. But, sending a single jar of jam to France from England ought to be cheap as chips - a £2.59, 350g jar of jam from the supermarket would cost £7.80 for surface post to France and would take 3-5 days. If it wasn't for the rapaciousness of the Royal Mail - it costs a fortune to send anything anywhere now - I wouldn't even pause to think, I'd just send you a jar as a gift - still no taxes or duty on small gifts. Unfortunately Tiptree paused international sales during the Covid thing and don't seem to have resumed them fully again yet. Quote from: Cerebus on August 14, 2021, 03:49:32 pm I looked at that, and that's £5.69 a jar versus £2.59 on Tiptree's own website.
