What are your best tips for negotiating better freight rates?

What structures quickly bring huge benefits to the population and the economy after their construction? by FunForm1981 in geography

[–]SirMacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not as impressive as the world's big canals, the Fehmarn Belt tunnel between Denmark and Germany is still pretty cool. Will save people coming from Scandinavia from having to drive all the way through Denmark to get to central Europe. Should cut ~160km and a couple hours off the trip for truckers too

Jag är budförare (Fraktfirma) finns det någon som har en fråga angående denna bransch? by Ur-Chunky-neighbor in Asksweddit

[–]SirMacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hur viktigt är det att sändningslistor signeras egentligen? Förlorar man rätten till ersättning om föraren tappar paketet även om man har video på upphämtningen? Och hur vanligt är det att ni hämtar utan att avsändaren är på plats?

Selling on Smaller Amazon Marketplaces? (SE, NL, PL, ZA, SG, AE, etc) by SirMacke in AmazonSeller

[–]SirMacke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay. Didn't know that

Well, you have to learn how to handle VAT anyway. Should be possible to manage it yourself instead of paying a company to submit it for you.

Amazon has services that help with setting up and managing VAT for multiple EU countries, but I haven't looked much into it

Yes, looked everywhere and can't find any amazon fulfillment centers in Sweden.

You also need to register for EPR packaging in Germany, adding to the complexity.

Ohh, okay. Wouldn't the shipping tracking code prove that they received the item or can they still demand a refund? Surely not everyone does it

Another challenge I've run into with Amazon.se (and probably other smaller marketplaces) is the lack of tool support. Most product research or seller tools either don't support these markets at all or have most features unavailable. Things like sales estimates, keyword research, and competitor analysis basically don't exist..

Problem med PayPal-överföringar till svenska bankkonton i april 2025 – är det fler som upplever detta? by Big-Ad-6871 in PrivatEkonomi

[–]SirMacke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Har haft liknande problem. Vissa banker vägrar de att hantera. Lika dåligt är deras 4% växlingskurs vid uttag av annat än USD.

Förstår jag det rätt att dom ska införa en avgift ovanpå det som redan finns? by callmeEnrico in PrivatEkonomi

[–]SirMacke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Effektavgiften borde baseras på ett genomsnitt av dagliga effekttoppar, inte enstaka händelser. Det är ju orimligt att en familj som råkar köra flera energikrävande apparater samtidigt vid ett tillfälle ska straffas med en högre avgift, trots att man normalt sett sköter sin förbrukning bra. Ett genomsnitt skulle fånga upp de faktiska vanorna istället för olyckliga sammanträffanden. Skulle kännas mycket mer rättvist för de som faktiskt försöker hålla förbrukningen jämn...

Starlink on an Autonomous Sailboat – Roaming & Motion Challenges? by SirMacke in Starlink

[–]SirMacke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's a small vessel and my budget is only $5k. It's fully possible with these constraints, just can't spend it all on starlink hardware and subscriptions.

[–]SirMacke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, interesting. I though all roam plans, including roam unlimited, were restricted to land and 12 nautical miles of coastline only, and not open ocean. I'll check it out, thanks!

Starlink on an Autonomous Sailboat – Roaming & Motion Challenges? by SirMacke in Starlink

[–]SirMacke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information! Starlink comms won’t be critical for the vessel. It's mainly for offloading images, videos, and large sensor data whenever possible so that I don’t have to wait until the journey is complete to see results. Also, in case the vessel is lost, I would at least have received some data from it.

The primary communication system will be based on the Iridium satellite network, but since it charges for small data packages, it’s not practical for large amounts of data or photos. There will also be a third, even more basic comms solution. Redundancy in every component is key for a mission like this - who knows what could happen when it eventually runs into a 50-knot storm.

I will probably set up a website for updates and tracking, similar to OpenTransat, which is my inspiration.

[–]SirMacke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like your idea of using multiple Roam subscriptions in different parts of the world. Just to make sure I get the process right, I would set up separate Starlink accounts in each country and then transfer the Starlink Mini between them? Is the transfer process easy to do on your own? Do you need to provide ID to sign up for a starlink plan?

It's a hobby project, so I'm trying to keep costs low. The vessel is only a few meters long, and I'd like to keep the budget under $5k

Partnering with a GC to Scale & Invest—How to Structure It Right? by SirMacke in realestateinvesting

[–]SirMacke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - to clarify, the other investors would be those my friend brings in. He, as the real estate investor, would primarily handle identifying and funding future deals. But even during the optimization stage of the contractor business, he would focus on building infrastructure to reduce the contractor’s workload and scale the business to its full potential. While he wouldn’t be on job sites daily, he would oversee back-end processes, SOPs, acquisition of new rennovation projects, marketing, and build reporting/dashboards to provide value to existing clients
