I'm doing some changes to the database and store script.. so will likely be broken for the next hour or so
EDIT:
OK changes are done .. mostly..
Most of this updates backend changes again. Basically as my girlfriend packs up the orders, she is getting confused what can ship in a jiffy bag, and what needs to be shipped in a box.. With so many items in my store now, the issue is just getting more complicated. As pointed out a couple of days ago by a forum member, things are getting shipped in jiffy bags which should not have been. So the new store changes are basically to tag "box or jiffy" into the database which is then emailed to her along with the order. Currently everything defaults to a box which is signed for ( which is basically standard practice currently anyway) Until I can make individual changes to each item in my store.
HOWEVER:
As talked about some time last year (
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =13&t=1295) , I was contemplating allowing some orders to be shipped without being signed for, which was basically deemed by everyone as a bad idea overall (and I agree since 50% of my packages I sold on evilbay went missing when not going signed for).
With the new system which is in place now, allows me to ship some items signed for or not. Basically these would be items under about £5 value (not decided yet). Simply because the default UK shipping is in a box signed for which is £5. obviously if someone wanted to order a switch (£1 value) the postage ends up being £5. I think this situation actually occurred a few days ago in fact. Of course the switch can go in a jiffy bag, and will be cheaper postage than a box. But of course, having this signed for as little pointless due to the value of the switch.. So I may add "not signed for" as a option in some cases.
Basically this means people could actually order low value items, such as switches or header pins without having to pay for a "signed for box". these would default to a "jiffy not signed for". There could be a scenario where some more may actually want the item signed for, but I think everyone would pretty much agree that is pointless, especially for any potential overseas orders whether post is just becomes silly for low value items.. But then again nobody is likely to order low value items overseas anyway. Items over about £10 value will automatically switch over to signed for, as I am not willing to take the risk of those orders going missing. Of course if I start getting aggravation from people about orders going missing then this system will just simply be revoked.
There is a scenario that, if someone orders 10 switches, Then it will default to a signed for package anyway as the value is £10. But there is also another scenario which I have not totally figured out yet, that those 10 switches would have to be shipped in a box.. Basically because if the jiffy bag went through the 20mm shipping slot.. And that was paid for at the post office, if those switches happen to go one on top of another, it would actually make it larger than 20mm and the shipping cost would actually be incorrect, and the buyer would actually get billed for incorrect postage paid (this has actually happened before). So there may have to be also a clause that if more than 2 items in total are ordered, will simply have to default back to a box again.. But I will look into that more in depth another time.
Please note this system is not fully set up yet. The first changes will just be simply to make sure there is no confusion over what can go in a jiffy bag, and what needs to go in a box during shipping. Working out items which can go "not signed for" will come in the future.
EDIT2:
UK,EU,USA POSTAGE has been adjusted to reflect a "large letter" (jiffy bag) price now on some items.. Mostly ROM chips.. anything with pins still goes in a box as before. Basically "jiffy post" is £2 cheaper for people now. All items still currently go signed for.
Harry going hungry these past days as well
