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.
