Title: Drop Locations and re-shipping available
Post by: oldboy on September 10, 2011, 02:17 am
Need a drop house or two, complete with re-shipping services?

Let me know via PM.

Either myself or an employee at another location will intercept packages and promptly ship them in accordance with your wishes.

Doors open Monday.

What are your prices going to be? When I looked into a re-shipper the cost was around  2 or 3 bucks. but as a vendor, I had to ship to the reshipper and they opened up the package and then resent it. So,not only did it cost twice as much to send I would have dealt with the reshipping fees.

The other thing buyers/sellers have to worry about is you know what is being sent. With a regular reshipper they have no clue as to whats inside.

It will be interesting to see your business model.

I have no problem opening and re-packaging something, if that's what someone wanted (it's easier just to make a few quick snips and pull the receipt out). But I think it's a waste of everyone's time. My business model looks like rubber band: flexible. It is dependent on your needs, your product, and what your customers expect. If you're just looking to dump old inventory under a different name, though, we could do that too. Prices all depend on what's happening, how much time it takes - I don't have the economies of scale to name a flat rate yet.

Obviously, if I could get a steady stream of weekly volume, then I could lower prices considerably for one vendor.

How many weekly packages are we talking about? What size are they? How much do they weigh?

I have been waiting to see a service such as this arrive to SR. I think it could be a great service to buyers and encourage you to open :)

I see this very valuable to buyers that want to test a new vendor. Actually, I see a lot of different ways this could benefit the buyer and seller.. Good luck to you...
