I just received an order from Victoria British - total of parts was around $360 at my cost...shipping to me was $30...box weighed 5 pounds....VB charges freight based on value of order, not weight of box regardless of whether a person is paying 'retail' or is a dealer.
I charge my customers exact shipping costs from the factory to them. So, on that order, after adding the $8.28 it cost to send the order on to the customer from me to what the exact shipping charges should've been from the factory to me (a little under $10), I ate about $20 in shipping!
Moss charges me, as a distributor, the exact cost of shipping plus $1 per box (unless the order is $500 or more & then I eat the shipping - my business decision.). I don't have a problem with those charges or with passing them on to you. I do have a problem with people making a profit on shipping!
So, unless you guys really want VB parts, I'm going to substitute with Moss parts & will only use VB when Moss is out of stock.
Normally, I only order from VB when you send me VB numbers; however, I can't continue to eat VB's shipping costs.
Your parts prices will still be the same regardless of where I get the part. You won't see any difference in shipping costs or service, just more Moss parts unless you specify that you want VB; & I have conversion tables so I can easily convert the parts numbers so you don't have to do anything different than you've always done.
Just wanted you to know.
