I've been on the Your Floors web pages since just after it started and already I've had ONE job out of it. I got so excited I said I'd deliver the small roll of cushion vinyl to the customer - what the hell - after all I am making over £19 on the job. Mustn't grumble.
I had a few orders at the beginning. I gave it a go, got business cards printed etc but it has never taken off and it doesnt look like it will. When i set my preferred radius I was willing to travel it didnt take the North Sea into consideration....120 mile round trip to deliver a rug ! i kid you not. No orders for years now tho.
Since it started I have had a piece of vinyl 1.5 x2 which by the time it was delivered netted about a fiver , and did get one houseful to do , but not ordered from the site , but contacted me through it .incidently are you guys still paying each month for the online payment ....cos I am ??
Yep £ 6 per month for the merchant service. I always meant to look into whether I could expand it to take payments for other parts of my business but have never got round to doing it.
I always said from the start, it was a way for the wholesalers to sell to public via certain websites...
Some wholesalers were doing that anyway, I took the attitude that you have to be in it to win it ! lol Pretty much been a waste of time. I actually had an enquiry last year and it ended up with the customer was giving me grief because Yourfloors never sent out the samples he ordered, I tried to sort out out for him but had difficulty getting the samples also.
