Hi All

You might like to go for a wander around the beta test version of our ecommerce site.

You will notice that you have to register before you can see prices or buy anything. This is because we don't want the general public seeing our prices, and we certainly don't want to sell them anything. I know that its a pain to register, but I think its worth it to protect your margins and keep joe public out.

You can register in 3 ways.

1) If you are gas-safe registered, you can use your gas safe number to verify your trade status. The registration system checks this automatically via the Gas Safe register, and should allow you access without further hassle. However, if you ticked the "no publicity" box when you registered with Gas Safe, then this won't work, and it ought to apologise and tell you that a human being will contact you soon.

2) If you have an account with us already AND we have a valid email address registered on your account, then you can get in almost straight away - we will just automatically send you an "update password" link and you should be fine.

3) If you have neither of the above, just fill in all the details, and it will tell you that a human will contact you. However, if you PM me with the email address that you registered with, I can authorise you immediately - although this only applies to plumbers arms members.

Please remember that it is a first release. It was working perfectly on the test set up earlier, but I bet something goes wrong now. If it does, please don't be afraid of letting us know. However, it is working and if you checkout, your credit card will be debited, and we will ship to you!

So fill yer boots. :)

Cheers

Ray
 
Just out of curiosity what would it cost to delivery to NI obviously not a very small order

Minumum charge, any weight up to 20kgs, £21.40 plus VAT

A domestic boiler, flue kit and a few bits - in a wooden packing crate, weighing say 60kgs on the same standard service as we use on UK mainland - £48.15 + VAT

Small pallet, up to 500kgs. To Belfast £93.09 + VAT, elsewhere in NI, £99.50 plus VAT.

I am sure that we could get that down by using cheaper carriers, but my experience of using cheap carriers is that you end up regretting it.

On a boiler order, once we had paid for credit card processing fees, packaging materials and shipping, we would have lost money. :(

TBH, its bad enough to sell a boiler on its own on the mainland. We probably lose money on that if I allow anything for labour, after card processing, packaging, biccies :) and carriage. Which is why the sales guys will work so hard to get an addition to the order - add a flue kit, magnaclean and 2 bottles of sentinel to the order, and it probably triples our profitability.
