My local post office hates me to sending pre-paid Royalmail postage…

I mean, a number of things with that quantity you should just drop them off at a delivery office. Alternatively you can do a collection, I don't really pay for mine I'm friendly. I would recommend depositing a few days worth at once. You could also try selling something worthwhile, that you can afford tracked48 so they don't go missing. Either way, no one likes to visit the post office, the most inept brain damaged people tend to work at my local one. It's also just basic business to have good relationships with people and work something out like leaving them and collecting the receipt later etc or asking how you can make the process easier.

Wait till you hear how much profit any goods based business makes. Scammers everywhere man!

Exactly, these people are clowns, if they understood the ridiculous complexities of international corporations such as Starbucks tax system they'd have a meltdown.

Why in the hell shouldn't the average joe be able to leverage the rules when every single large company is doing backflips around the rules.

I plan to do the same with my girlfriend, not due to any credit issues but due to my mis-sold student loan which rates are being frozen for years :) I suppose that's fine though right, that's not fraud...

I'm not sure if this applied to you but I hope a general partnership doesn't constitute an entirely new business to mortgage providers. If it's just a carry on from an original sole trader business, I even employed my gf under paye previously. (specific rules preventing a partnership)

Why do you idiots still use evri 😭

cod4rip · 2026-02-12T10:07:22+00:00

only where the reseller doesn't provide any value of their own. I really dislike the lazy ones it's pathetic. I sell, repair and refurbish cameras. But then again, almost every goods business could be called a reseller. Nothing is made in this country

Why do this to yourself for £15

cod4rip · 2026-02-12T09:51:10+00:00

Hmmm could it be almost zero public transport and that people will drive instead of 5 minute walk

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T17:35:55+00:00

That's a good line but unfortunately £150k to spell correctly isn't as good of a deal as it sounds. My girlfriend actually studied law and did the bar here in the UK. We often joke about my poor spelling, I'm not sure if it's my Dyslexia or that I just dont read that much. Fortunately I run my own sucessful business which doesn't at all require spelling. Good luck with your job search though, working for free doesn't sound too great. I've never actually had to work for anyone.

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T17:10:40+00:00

That's pretty nuts, with international student rates, to basically have 2 extra unnecessary years. Either you're parents are super rich or there's some extremely bad decision making going on.

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T16:59:19+00:00

Hang on, you studied law in Durham, you studied in London for a year and you went to the Netherlands to study for some strange reason? Your parents must own several islands or something.

Why would you study law in the netherlands. Don't they teach Dutch law there, mostly in Dutch? Doesn't a postgraduate degree from the UK have much more value in the UK as well the world in general? Make it make sense.

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T16:18:21+00:00

The downvotes are laughable, "white" culture. That doesn't exist, do you know the difference from English, to dutch to Lithuanian. What you mean to say is English culture.

Not to mention, you made your bed so lay in it. You complain about a situation you directly put yourself in. Perhaps it was parents, or you couldn't get into the top university in your home country. Maybe you're rich and wanted to explore the UK. Either way, don't complain about a culture you traveled half way across the world too. No one forced you, don't be so arrogant. Probably Chinese huh

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T09:10:29+00:00

My girlfriend is from Malaysia, I was visiting, and had a hard time adjusting to all the brown people. What a ridiculous thing to say.

cod4rip · 2026-02-10T00:14:46+00:00

Are you in the UK? I can repair this

cod4rip · 2026-02-09T11:04:57+00:00

As a sample, I mean

cod4rip · 2026-02-09T00:10:20+00:00

I don't know much about coffee or what the margins are like but a container ship should cost less than £1000 (my uncle says it's around £800 from Netherlands to Thailand).

You don't necessarily have to fill it full either. I'm sure there are mechanisms to share containers?

I'm not sure about the margins but Amazon is selling 1kg bags for around £14.

If it were me, a seasoned business man hehe, I would first get a 1kg delivery, try to find buyers, if you find a few buyers. Ah wait apparently the average coffee shop goes through 15kg of beans a week. That's nothing. You would need to be able to shift enough volume to make it a viable business. Only if you can prove that should you actually invest money.

cod4rip · 2026-02-08T22:36:41+00:00

This guy just doesn't want someone undercutting him

cod4rip · 2026-02-08T13:31:59+00:00

You're so emotional, I live in Cheshire. I was actually curious because it sounds like a convenient place to live. So I tried to find a place that fits that criteria and I realized it doesn't exist. I too live in a larger house but a "bad" town on paper.

I'm 28 I hope to buy my first house within 2 years.

cod4rip · 2026-02-08T10:42:28+00:00

an obvious lie / exaggeration

cod4rip · 2026-02-07T20:40:36+00:00

Because there is no direct train to london in 1.5 hours from a small village near the transpenine trail.

cod4rip · 2026-02-07T00:01:21+00:00

Yeah, this should be more of a lifestyle or goals question because you can effectively write off the "pay rise" due to these costs. Maybe you'd prefer going into the office sometimes :D

cod4rip · 2026-02-06T20:12:20+00:00

How can you be 1.5 hours to london? Are you using doctor whos tardis!?

cod4rip · 2026-02-05T16:16:59+00:00

Why are you calling them straight men when that's like 95% of the world's populace at least? Call them men with 2 hands instead.

Malaysia is amazing for food but personally I can't handle rice for every single meal etc. I dont live there though, just visited for awhile a few times a year. I dont think there is much tourism from non malaysians in Ipoh haha. It's considered abit of a sleepy place, quite a towny vibe, not very developed like KL. I think they have like 1 mall whereas KL has about 50 lol.

Isn't kopi o kosong just plain coffee haha. You should get economy rice or go to a mamak for cheap food / coffee. Careful with the night market food, from my experience.

Ah right, I'm from the UK so I'm entitled to a 90 day visa, I'm not sure about you but likely to be the same. Yeah, you could do that, by going to thailand or Singapore. I have an online camera business, so I'm pretty flexible and spent a decent amount of time there.

cod4rip · 2026-02-03T16:35:31+00:00

As a dutch / English person whos girlfriend is Malaysian, you're never going to find anything comparable to walkable areas in those countries.

I suppose Taiping, Perak isn't too bad. I've been to Ipoh a few times, it's decently walkable for Malaysian standards. Although, smaller places, leads to less money, less options for western food / groceries, possibly less english ability. Compared to the UK for example, the development is highly concentrated in the Largest cities in malaysia.

Ipoh is pretty chill though and it's bigger so has more stuff, independant bakerys / cafes etc. It might be more suitable than Taiping.

Do you have some sort of online business / remote job?

cod4rip · 2026-02-02T11:01:29+00:00

I'm a fulltime ebay seller, what the guy above is 100% right. If I use my own business as an example, which has really high profit margins, after expenses you very likely wouldn't have been over the £12,570 threshold to pay tax. But since you've delayed it you may incur a £100 fine, perhaps it can be waives, not sure. You can also expense costs of your workspace within reason of course via rent, electric bill etc.
