Discounts - Price of my items:
I am not always the cheapest listed price on the internet, I try to be very competitive and good value for money & pride myself on service offered. Please bare in mind my various costs when I calculate my prices, some of these include - item cost price, import shipping cost /customs fees, postage price, packing materials used, ebay fees, UK taxes & loss cover. I use a spreadsheet which calculates an approximate £6 profit per item. That said, for multiple purchases of Zippos that could be sent in the same package, I could offer a small discount. Feel free to try asking. Please no stupid requests to knock £15 off a £45 Zippo, this would mean me selling it at a £9 loss.
Birthdays / Gift wrapping service:
Buying this gift for a friend or loved one? Left it a little late? NO problem, feel free to message me before I send the item and I can give your Zippo purchase some extra love! I am happy to wrap it up FREE OF CHARGE, just let me know whether for a lady, man etc, I can select suitable wrapping from a number of options I have.
Why the strange pricing? - Please support your LOCAL POST OFFICES - Use them or LOSE THEM
Some customers have asked me why my items are priced say £53.40? when you see an item ending with the 40pence, there is a reason for this. I support my LOCAL POST OFFICE. They work hard and are not adequately compensated by Royal Mail for their efforts.
Did you know that for every signed for or special delivery they process, they literally get LOW pennies for accepting, processing etc. Even worse, using bookable services cuts them out completely. For every item I sell, my local post office lets me avoid the ques and drop them off to them. I give them the 40pence for each package.
Questions:
Anything else you would like to know? Feel free to message me via ebay messages, I love to talk about Zippo lighters or if you are unsure about anything or have any special requests.
