I find the problem with mail order is the time lag, I am now having to set
my postal charges for the next 12 months to go into the catalogue.
Last year there was a rise in price by Royal mail, Parcel force(Quite a big
jump) and many carriers, all come with just a few weeks notice, often at the
start of the year, and there is no way I can turn to people who have placed
orders and say "By the way cost of carriage has gone up so I want more money
off you", I just have to absorb it.
I did wonder if I could send out my catalogues with the Scouts Xmas mail,
but don't think they do National post(Pity).
