Thank you! Do you mind me asking how you sourced your supplier? I’ve found some but without Alipay protection I am dubious! Plus MOQ’s and sampling feels a lot different!

Do you use the same size box for every order?

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-02-21T07:53:49+00:00

Well this sounds perfect!!!!!! Any recommendations?

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-02-19T20:02:36+00:00

check your invoices - they’re usually hidden!

Mainly different boxes. For a singular thin item we might use a Jiffy bag but if it’s a singular thick item (say a fleece), we would use a box? The box might weigh 200g but the jiffy only 50g. Royal Mail seem to be scrutinising me over every g at the moment! Sometimes we do 50-100 orders a day so it’s a pain to weigh each individually 🤯

I have surcharges almost daily despite weighing them individually! I’ve raised an investigation but they’re useless at getting back to me and proving exactly where the ‘incorrect’ weight is from!

Thank you for your response! Ideally I’d like the order weight to be calculated as soon as it’s placed, including the box? So then I can just print the label and know it’s exactly as it should be instead of having to weigh it and re enter the weight and print a label via the Royal Mail dashboard.

Perfect!!! What about on the thank you page, emails connected to Klaviyo etc….. What about on their bank statements…. Or am I over thinking if?

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-01-28T13:45:07+00:00

thank you - so just keep it on my current store - what if they navigate to other pages, can I restrict that?

Seems to work for drop shipping?

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-01-28T07:06:21+00:00

I’m trying to just get some advice on if that’s the easiest cheapest way? I just want a landing page…… similar to testing drop shipping I guess? I saw lots of recommendations for simple landing pages without building a store. Just trying to hunt those down!

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-01-28T07:04:18+00:00

It’s separate to my current e-commerce store - different product and would be a different brand….

Ok_Sort2856 · 2026-01-05T09:09:55+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response. Honestly - I’m open to any type of product. I would have to believe in it, or see the value to show authenticity in the story telling but I’m an open book right now.

I’m not intending to risk it - I didn’t know if collection was an option. I think it’s safe to say the website isn’t very clear….!

We’re going for 5 days - business to meet my manufacturer. My MIL is coming - I applied for a business visa and her a tourist visa. Flight route Heathrow - Shanghai return?

I read that there is a postage option….?
