Free Postage: Is It Your Best Option?
We’ve all been enticed by the offer of free postage or shipping – even when we know it isn’t really true! Someone has to pay for the delivery service – and most times I bet it’s you! – The customer!
Is “Free Shipping” your best option?
What are the Pros and Cons of “Free Postage”
Pros
- Free postage options may reduce shopping cart abandonment.
- Free shipping promotions may increase sales.
Cons
- The product is more expensive (for everyone).
- When postal costs increase the price of the item does too
- Local customers pay for a service they don’t require.
- Each item includes the hidden cost of “free postage”.
At MaxineFaye, I offer several postage and collection options… Yes! including “FREE postage”
Click and Collect (Parcel Pick-up)
A great option for locals or people travelling through the area.
Choose local pick-up when going through the checkout with your purchases then book a time that suits you best to call into the studio and collect.
Untracked Items in an Envelope
Small, lightweight and flexible items (less than 20mm high when packaged) may be suitable for untracked postage at a lesser charge when sent
This is not my recommended way of posting your order!
Tracked and Insured Postage
Packaged securely, insured and tracked by Australia Post to your delivery address within Australia.
Multiple items in your order can be included in the one package for the single cost. This is a great way to stock up on gifts and save on postage costs at the same time.
FREE POSTAGE within Australia on all orders over $50.00AU
And here it is! My version of FREE postage. Spend $50 AUD or more during checkout (in one complete transaction) and receive FREE standard tracked postage within Australia. No discount code required. It’s automatically applied during checkout.
