hey gents.
So I've been thinking about a way to get my packaging sorted.
I hate:
Having to charge a relatively large amount (£2.82) to send soap as a small package as opposed to a large letter (from £0.75)
Seeing customers posts on Social Media saying they got the red card from the postie.
Being environmentally irresponsible
So:
I'm looking at reshaping my soap into long and wide but thin slabs. They will then be packaged in heat sealed aluminium pouches. That way you can order quite a few and still only pay for shipping as a large letter. It also always goes through your letter box.
If you want a tub, I can sell you the same tubs for a small fee. That way you can press the soap in and you still have the same product. You'd have to pay the standard small parcel postage though.
This can also be applied to aftershave too. Just cut the bag and pour it into a container (or I can sell those too!).
The pouches are also recyclable and there is just generally less packaging per product. Always a good thing!
Thoughts please?
James.
