Some of the shops do free shipping over a certain amount or as special discount periods like Easter, Half term w.h.y.!
Its all about volume of sales!

Need I say more?[/quote:2vxm09ku]

Forgive my ignorance, what does HB stand for?

Somewhere between €5 and €10 seems to be the norm. Like you say, it's down to being able to arrange better deals with couriers based on volume of sales.[/quote:2vxm09ku]

Sorry: Homebrew shops!

Could you expand on this a bit? How much/what does your neighbour ship? What weights are the packages? I'd like the profit to come from the product and make the shipping as cheap as is possible.

Have you a licence for off sales? If not do you know the cost of one, and that the rules were changed a few years ago making it impossible to open one where there is no existing retail business?[/quote:11woa630]

Yep, like I said above, i've been working in an offy for a few years now, so i'm aware of those rule changes.

Re the shipping, I was just asking for input, I know I have to ring all these shipping crowds. Still very much in the ideas stage at the moment.

Thanks!
