Thanks again Nick,something worth looking into,
But i already do something similar with Big Barn.com.they advertise my produce,the customer pays them,i`m told the order details for delivery and dispatch the order,then i get paid from Big Barn minus their commission,
But at the moment the bulk of my Wild Boar`s now goes through Rob Rattray the butcher in Aberystwyth,and its flying out the shop,i just deliver to the abattoir in Tregaron, Rob pay`s the killing charge,i just wait for the cheque,i have no cutting and vac pack charges,and no need to keep advertising my meat on websites,when clearly people ain`t interested,in fact its giving me a satisfying feeling knowing the butchers customers are paying well for this quality product,and knowing the fact they could have had the product cheaper from myself. |
I remember Rob Rattray in school, a couple of years younger than me I think - he seems to have done very well for himself.
Didn't he have a twin or a brother, Derek?

No, of course it doesn't. But, it's another avenue for sales. If you've got plenty of those, grand.
Nothing says you have to offer steaks, you could stick with your meat boxes, or half beasts.
As for the commission fees, how does it compare with the cost of your packaging and the courier fees? I genuinely don't know.
Either way, if it's not for you, it's not for you. Just passing it along. |
Yeah, thanks, I didn't mean to sound like a miserable Yorkshire git (I do try to hide it).
The packaging is the same whether it goes by courier or if I take it. It could be less, but I'd need to invest in one of those vans like the supermarkets have, so probably no cheaper for the quantities involved. At the end of the day it's just a (comparatively) bad business model (right now), I should just be selling plastic widgets bought from China. |
