  1. Just to say some of our original 30 year old customers still pay there original £35 a year and we have 1000s of customers.

    We are approved and give a full service for that.

    Prices have increased each year but whatever they pay the first year its stays the same.

    We are the biggest installer in our area beating most of the competition.

    High prices don't always means high quality as we know from what we take over most weeks.

    By the way we did not quote this op just note about pricing

    So in effect, if you don't put the price up, Due to inflation each year you work for less money. I can't compute where that makes business sense?

  2. Well Sunday is the day of rest. I must confess on this occasion it has been very handy as I am heading south tomorrow night and I need these firewalls and had it dropped on me late Friday afternoon that I needed them so has been useful on this occasion. Thing is though certain things split weekdays and weekends and one of the things I love about Sunday is no post.

    Like everything, not that new.

     

    I was in Plymouth 2001 and the local 'Consignia' depot offered evening delivery up to 11pm (dabs.com I seem to remember was the sender)

    and once had Sunday delivery on another item for £8, needed a printer ASAP for a load of assignments. Then it went away.

     

    These days parcelforce stuff gets left at the local PO which is more than handy.

    Depends how far the local PO is :)

    I've never seen it offered before which surprised me. We use myhermes a lot as they are one if the few that will just leave something in the engineers shed. They are starting Sunday collections / deliveries

  3. Ordered a couple of Cisco firewalls and to my surprise was offered delivery on Sunday at the same price as normal next day delivery.

    I wasn't even aware it was possible. I know I can send stuff for Saturday delivery for about £25 but was surprised that amazon offered Sunday delivery at no premium.

    I notice Royal Mail are to do the same for parcels (god knows how the unions welcomed that one) so is it inevitable that in the world we live in, no day is off limits now?

    Would the fact you could get gear delivered to you / your engineers on a Sunday encourage more use of online shopping for gear from the likes of security warehouse?
