@Sky Blue Pete can you bring up the postage costs again
I'd actually buy some stuff but not paying £6 for postage so they get nothing off me instead.
That's for it may turn up whenever postage through Royal Mail too, £10 for actual quick delivery.6 notes for postage? wow

Either the club is ripping us off - in which case they should stop, or they are using a company that is ripping us off - in which case they should switch.
Bit of a shit way to make money out of fans.Maybe they don't make much of the merch but do of the postage?
i’m having to pay £30…more than the actual kit…@Sky Blue Pete can you bring up the postage costs again

Doubt it - reason for the sale is to clear stock for next seasonWas gonna buy some kits for the kids but literally no stock in. Wonder if they will get more in?
Tbh the reality is that post and delivery costs money, the industry can no longer rely on recruiting as much cheap labour from abroad.@Sky Blue Pete can you bring up the postage costs again

Like I said though, it is just put in a royal mail envelope and posted first class through your door.Tbh the reality is that post and delivery costs money, the industry can no longer rely on recruiting as much cheap labour from abroad.

How is that £6 in any world?

As much as I hate postage fees it's about right.
It's not just an envelope, it's a plastic postage bag - 50p
1st Class postage for a small package £3.70
Someone's time to pick & pack £balance
Definitely. I'd rather buy a £15 hat than spend £6 postage on a £9 hat.Is this something where you'd just increase the cost of the item to absorb the postage costs, which seem to make a big difference over purchasing decisions? Could be seen as profiteering for those buying in store but would instead go towards paying rent, staff, lights etc.

If they put the postage down they will just increase the cost of the shirts to offset it so its really a non-issue. Are we really suggesting a club that's short on cash like ours should just start posting every order out at a loss?Because I'm a sad bastard I just did the whole championship (minus posh whose is currently free)
We're the most expensive in the league, I've put minimum costs on as some do postage cheap for minor things (we don't)
The majority that are a couple of quid cheaper than ours are full tracked through curries not just put in the post.
It needs to come down

I'm not a shipping expert but if, as has been said, postage is £4.85 and the bags 50p that's £5.35 before you start, so you've got 65p to cover the cost of the employees time and any other packaging materials. Doesn't seem a lot of scope to drop it down.Are you suggesting that every other club in the league is doing it at a loss?
I'm suggesting this, like many other things at the club, isn't being run very well. Can't they follow other clubs' models and send small inexpensive things out cheaply? is it impossible to send the expensive stuff out via courier like every other club instead of chucking it in the post?
There are many things to defend the club on but rising us off by being the most expensive in the league at something isn't it.
So why don't we?Maybe other clubs use cheaper shipping services,
Hummel at Bristol city is £5 for DPDPlus it's Hummel that run the shop isn't it? So they will be taking a cut.
Personally I'd rather actually receive the things I order than move to someone like Hermes. But if there's genuinely a reliable cheaper option then lets flag it to the club and see if it can be changed.So why don't we?

Maybe being one of the lowest priced kit, means we can't swallow up any postage charges. I dont know.
