Yep the postage costs are way over the top, First Class Large Letter Signed for, up to 250g, £20 value, up to £50 compensation is only £2.34 not £7. A parcel is only £4.30

and 2nd class recorded is £3.90 (apart from an order of maybe 3 of Pixie sized bottles....maybe), add in a jiffy bag and £4.00. While you people are as honest as the day is long unfortunately there are people who aren't. It saddens me that I have to send things recorded delivery but paypal are so biased against people selling goods it's the only protection I have (and even then it's not much) because sent unrecorded all people have to do is lodge a complaint to paypal and they get their money back from me pretty much no questions asked.

My delivery charges are the same price no matter what or how much you order. Yes if you order 2 10ml bottles of concentrate it seems a lot, possibly rather less so for 3 litres of liquid I would say and my prices are far from the most expensive.

I don't want to be difficult so I've added a new rate of £2.99 for orders of up to and including 4 bottles of concentrate. Any orders for more than 4 bottles or containing other items will not be accepted if you try and use that postage option I'm afraid.

No i feel for vendors that have to deal with people that are less than honest but i'm not the only one in this thread that has been put off by the sky high postage costs that's all, and they are sky high, i've never paid £7 for any delivery, vape or non-vape related and i can't find another vendor at the minute that charges anywhere near that.  At the end of the day i'm not having a go and you can charge what you like, i'm just giving you some feedback as to why i'm not ordering anything. Sorry.

***Edit**  I've just seen that piratesvapeuk has edited their post stating that they have added a new postage option.  Much better, order going in

Right, just to put the great postage controversy to bed I have amended my prices. The prices now show the actual Royal Mail prices for 1st and 2nd class recorded delivery rather than the rounded up prices I was using to make life simpler. There is obviously also the £2.99 price for up to 4 bottles of Pixie concentrate. I am not going to rethink sending out everything recorded delivery so those are the prices.

I priced the concentrates without building in any postage to the price. I did this because I think it's fairer if you are buying anything more than one or two BUT it means if I wasn't to charge what it actually costs to post them then I wouldn't make a profit on sales of 4 bottles and would lose money on sales of 1 to 3 bottles. Why weren't you charging £2.99 I hear you say? - quite simply because I am now going to have to be VERY careful how I package orders of 4 or less bottles or the jiffy bag wont fit through the large letter slot at the Post Office

i have to say the large letter slot at post office is fooking piddle size compared to a normal letter box in the door

For me it was pixies cool pineapple. I've tried various other pineapples and added koolada etc but it's never quite the same is it.

I'd start mixing my own for that stuff!

Wow, same here! I was gutted when the Pixiejuice site shut down, her pineapple (regular and with cooling agent) liquid had pretty much became my ADV, even posted a thread here to see if anyone had some stashed away. Don't see it on the list though

piratesvapeuk - could you kindly ask Miss Pixie if she can still make it?

4 x 10ml bottles (plastic ones of course) will go through the LL slot fine.  Anything more mind and good luck with that et al.

You are best pricing in extra costs into the product price - inflating p&p costs tends to infuriate people (regardless of the fact in ends up being the same thing etc).

I am damned if I do and damned if I don't really! The 'problems' start with it being a premium product that actually costs Pixie more to make because of the ingredients she uses than perhaps other concentrates people are comparing them with. I did think for quite a while about how to price them and decided that this way was actually the fairest and cheapest for the customer, if I built postage into the price then I expect I would get as many complaints about having to pay over £5 for a 10ml bottle as I do for not having 'free' postage! I have however listened to people's concerns and introduced a cheaper rate for smaller orders, if people still think it's unreasonable then please accept my apologies but that is the price I'm afraid!

I think 2.99 is a fair price with RD.

Agree as soon as the kool orange is back in stock I will place a order 4x10ml
