How does everybody charge for courier and packing?
I make quite a few estate agent photosigns, and other fragile signs in various sizes.
These are then sent off by courier round the country.Packing these signs in cardboard takes a long time, cutting and folding the cardboard, taping and writing the address legibly and filling the courier slip, sometimes making the packing more valuable than the sign itself.
And yet I only seem to charge for the courier – rounded up to the nearest ten dollars to cover the materials.I do this because I see the same everywhere, goods seem to be sent out with free packing.
Obviously you try to cover it with the quote, but this can make an estate agent sign seem very expensive.
Does anyone charge properly for this service with full disclosure to the client?
And if so what reaction do you get from the customer?Simon.
