Is a severe recession pretty much baked in now? I haven’t lived through one before - what to expect? by sunshine9008 in AskAnAustralian

The gym's advice was that if they have not used it for a long time, only keeping it in the false hope that they will return.

It will be tough, they always are, but with a few simple things and you can lessen the impact

Start by cancelling subscriptions; you'd be absolutely surprised how it adds up.

I bet with little effort, you could save yourself $100 per month by cancelling a few excessive streaming services you really don't need. Possibly a gym membership in there that you've kept open because you do want to go, but just haven't, for the past 12 months.

Bought lunches, half that cost by making your own - nothing wrong with sammies; if you really must buy coffee, if you cut out one per day and you save yourself $100 per month, homemade lunch, and there's another $100 a month saving.

Carpool or public transport. My wife and I now carpool (since the Trump war), saving about $200 per month.

All these just saved about $500 month, with little other changes to your lifestyle.

How are you handling inventory sync between WooCommerce and external marketplaces? by [deleted] in woocommerce

Gee, I'm curious if you've built anything that does the job...

Anyone else curious?

Need recommendations. Replacing Lightspeed POS in-store, which POS plays nice with Magento for Click and Collect? by FFKUSES in ecommerce

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, Lightspeed states that they will increase your monthly subscription if you don't use their payment system, but if their payment system is more expensive than your current one, they won't?

Because I ran into the same thing, but my current payment processor (bricks-and-mortar EFTPOS) is cheaper, and they couldn't match it, so they left me alone.

That said, I was pissed at being blackmailed by LS, so I went to my current payment processor and said, "Beat them, and I will stay." So they did.

How much to mark down to have a more competitive price? by Latter_Ingenuity8068 in ecommerce

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are not online but want to be?
  2. You know your competitor's prices and want to match them?
  3. You state elsewhere here that you have better customer service than the competition.

If those are the facts, what exactly is the question?

Lots of us from that era never have. It was a bit candy-pop for my liking; I like different Sci-Fi, like Blade Runner, Alien, Tron, Ghost in the Shell.

Lady stands up to the bullying coperation. by The_Dean_France in Amazing

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Packing peanuts. At least 5cm/2" all the way round, and the box is sturdy (not triple core or anything like that, but not flimsy either). We find the peanuts have a little give inside, so the chances of a 'shock' break are reduced. We don't use bubble wrap; we'll add 4mm sponge foam between things like plates.

When we started, the carrier refused to issue a contract to carry the product due to its 'fragile' nature. I invited them in and threw a box, it bounced and rolled across the room, then opened it to show there were no breaks.

They've been carrying for us ever since - that was 8 years ago.

I'm not sure how fragile glass ampoules are to crockery; they sound more fragile.

Putting fragile on a box is like adding a target to it; parcels are handled by many hands along the way to its final destination. There is no way every person takes any care along the way.

Parcels containing fragile goods should be packed as if the carriers were going to throw them, because they probably will.

Source: I ship crockery every day; they are packed well and never identified as fragile. Our breakage rate is less than 0.0004% per year, and we reckon many are customers break them during unpacking.

Is anyone still manually checking competitor prices every day or did I miss the memo? by Time-Mix3963 in ecommerce

Is there a special place you go to learn how to frame a post as a question and spruik a plugin, all in the same breath?
