Freight Wars

Last week our Fastways Courier driver approached me with some better freighting prices in an attempt to get more of our business. I was absolutely stoked. For a company that had to fight to get a courier out to our more remote location I am now being encouraged to send more with him.
As more and more of our customers are going with the default option of Australia Post (who have just increased their prices AGAIN) the couriers are becoming extremenly price competitive in many regions.
A box check of "best way" on the website will see us weigh up your options to get you the best freighting option to your street address. Of course, if you have selected a PO box our hands are tied and parcels are sent Australia Post.

True to their word

I have received samples of two vanilla fragrances to try, and to pick holes in. I have had it suggested that I use the fragrances at 2% of the weight of oils. Huh!! Not happening!! If I want a fragrance to work for my customers it has to withstand discounting and fragrance overload as a minimum. What is the point of it working at 2% if the standard usage is 3% with some people preferring to take it higher? I just nod my head sagely, and agree. It has to work in soap, and I will test it as I see fit. We will see what comes of it all.
