So I'm looking for some opinions on postage. My main question is, how does it affect your shopping habits?
Are you more likely to make a purchase from a seller if they offer free P&P... I've noticed a lot of sellers offer free P&P now, but markup their items to cover the costs. So basically a £10.99 + postage item becomes £13.99 + free postage. So if you buy 3 items from that seller, then In reality you've just paid 3 times as much for postage. Where as I offer a £3.95 postage charge, but with combined shipping at the checkout. Is it a psychological thing? Because I've noticed a few times now that items being sold with a heavy markup, but offer free P&P tend to sell easier, compared to lower priced item, but with a postage charge...
Does anyone have any thoughts on this - Or perhaps is someone that goes for the "FREE P&P."
