We received a lot of kind compliments about our giftware range at a recent gift fair but a couple of people raised a valid comment that really resonated with us; the price of postage if they didn’t buy at the show, especially when it came to our smaller items.
Unfortunately, Royal Mail postage is what it is and there is nothing we are able to do about it. Our #WednesdayWisdom for today is therefore to try to combine occasions – buy Christmas presents for this year with birthday presents for next, plus gifts for music teachers, exam and graduation gifts all in one go. After all, keeping them safe until the right date costs nothing.
Alternatively, get together with other friends or family for a single occasion and minimise postage that way. You’ll be amazed at how many individual gifts we can safely pack into a single box
Another alternative to saving on postage is to check The Floyd Effect’s tour schedule (here) and arrange to collect your gifts from one of the venues. You’ll have to call us to arrange this, but we’re happy to do this for you.
Of course, the obvious way to avoid postage all together is call in to The Old Dairy in person. Although, if you’re not local, the fuel cost is likely to outweigh the postage.
