How can you get hold of your favourite Mrs Martin’s products AND save on couriers?
At Mrs Martin’s we have kept our delivery fee the same since 2022. As a brand that sells mainly online, courier fees influence each and every aspect of our business. In recent years fuel prices are at a record high, and courier fees rise multiple times a year. Just yesterday, 1 September 2024, courier fees went up again.
It is very convenient to have product delivered right to your door, right? But that does cost money.
In reality there is no such thing as free shipping. No courier works for nothing. When you order over R900, we call it ‘free shipping’, but in actual fact it is just free for you, the buyer. We, the seller, pay full price. We do so gladly, because we really apprectiate your business.
So in order NOT to pay extra for courier fees, your aim should always be to order for more than R900. That is a lot of money. Perhaps even more soap than you need. How now?
Order in bulk
Did you know that using our concentrate and refill options are more economical by far? Take the savings even further by ordering enough to last you three months. That should bring your order to a total above the free shipping threshold, which means you save on couriers.
Create a delivery ‘lift club’
Convince your responsible friends or family to order together! Decide on a date by which everyone must let you know what they want or the month, and order everyones products in one go. Give one delivery address and collect your products from there when they arrive. No extra courier fee!
Ask your local sustainable living store to stock us
We would love to be in every shop in South Africa! Approach the shop you love to support, and ask them to contact me. Who knows, perhaps we can strike a deal and have your favourite products on their shelves in no time. Since you visit that shop anyway, it would cost you nothing more to get a hold of our products.
In a way, having to think about one’s courier fees actually makes one more responsible as a consumer. Instead of sending the couriers every month for smaller orders, one plans now and sends the courier once in three months, for example. That creates far less carbon emissions and makes the foorprint of our product smaller.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. We look forward to packing your next order!
