How do you guys determine what you charge for shipping when shipping plastics? In the past the shipping cost would be 1/3 or 1/2 of what I sell the baits for. I have a large amount of Rage Craws and Rage Bugs (Structure Bugs) and I'm really not interested losing money (I'm reducing the costs of the baits by 40% to 50% already) when I ship the baits.
Thanks!
The Flat Rate boxes are usually the way to go on heavier items such as bulk soft plastics.
plastics can get expensive to ship! Like above post says, go with the "flat rate" boxes, and stuff as much as ya can it it!
X3 on the flat rate boxes.
So you guys pass the cost on to the purchaser? I believe the smallest flat rate box is $9.95.
Thanks for your input!
Determine how much you want to net out of sale, find out what it will cost to mail, cost of paypal, etc. and then come up with a price that includes everything. I think most people just want a price that includes everything.Originally Posted by jay74
The question for the prospect: Am I willing to pay this amount for what is being sold?
The question for yourself: Am I satisfied with the amount that I will net from the sale?
Interested in what you plan on selling....
Rage Tail Craws and Rage Tail Structure Bugs. A lot.
More like $13. They have gone up a lot. Oops that is medium price. sorry.
I include shipping price in with asking price. Realistically with soft plastics you need to have a decent quantity to make selling and shipping them make sense. If a buyer is not getting them for 50-75% off retail with shipping factored in then chances are you will have trouble selling them.
Also it's a lot easier to sell as one big lot rather than piecemeal.and have to fool with multiple shipping packages etc. It saves the seller money too.
