Starting Up Your Own Business...

[vmail]

that would save a bit on postage, but then they will know your supplier and start getting the stuff them them and not you

how much is the gold member discount? 10%?

[Moffmo]

i use the exact JIT method!

sometimes i dont even see the things i sell!

i just have my supply send direct to customers doors

That'd be called drop shipping then.

great thing to do becuase you get money off customer, then give it to suppliers to dropship.

This is good becuase it means ya dont have to use your own money. ANd you dont have to wait for profit. Its instant!

Just don't use play.com to do it cause if you charge somebody £20 for a game and then it arrives from play.com in an envelope with £15 on it they'll be a little :censor: :ffs: :censor: :ffs: even though you'll be :D :P

lol

thats the daddy! very simple and i can have stuff delivered to folks next day!

ie. if i place an order with the supplier before 3pm i get next day delivery to the customer (after 3 is obviously the day after)

so product A costs the customer £150, me from supply £100

they place order at approx 12pm for example

they pay me £150 (paypal etc....)

i order the item and wire transfer £100

there item arrives at 9am the next day!

ive got 50 quid in me back pocket!

internet selling is one of the best ways but it is still fearce competition unless you can stumble on a niche market...

[Jimlad]

what do you sell ?

[ZeroBlade]

caught onto this thread a little l8, but jaxx is spot on with his business implementation. no overheads, no cost for you, just pure profit. they may be low initally, but tbh £50 in ur back pocket is a nice little bonus. :)

was gonna setup something similar over the summer when i've got some free time.

well when im working. and a quick plug here ^_^

[vmail]

so on day 1 a customers orders from you and pays £150 and you get £50 from that, on day 2 the customers recieves the goods and finds out info about your supplier(either on the package or docs), so on day 3 they order from the supplier and pay £100 and you get nothing

[Yarisboy]

vmail, have you got no common sense?

[vmail]

I see now, you specify 2 addresses, shipping(customer) and billing(you)
