Goldsilver.be shipping costs

[Gildeon]

Just checked and the shipping cost to Ireland has gone up from 30€ to 40€! Has anybody else noticed such an increase in your countries...? 🙄

[Big23]

Yes, to Austria it's the same

[Abyss]

Last order placed on the 15th March Shipping & handling (tax incl.) 22,00 € via FedEx delivery in the UK. Only thing I have noticed no longer any free delivery for orders over €5,000.

Went up last autumn, seems to be change to courier end to end rather than local Bpost who hand off to their partners in different countries. 

[ManWithNoName]

Denmark is up by €5, for the quantity i normally purchase..

 

[Pete]

Perhaps it is because they switched to FedEx which is a more expensive service than Bpost.

Paid €22 yesterday, but they put €10 tax on bottom of invoice for some reason

Drops back to €35 with storage/multiple order option.

[Gildeon]

Ah probably after I place the order. It kind of stopped me, a year ago or so it was around 21€ if I remember correctly...

Nope, it stays at 40€ up to the last checkout page. 😕

[swAgger]

Tried just now. This isn't what comes up for you?

Think i see why you didn't notice any change from €40. I did some messing about with order values. Was your order under €300? Above that, the €35 option is available.

[swAgger]

Best hide your partial address from that screenshot!

Yes my order was below 300€ but this should be irrelevant in a partial order, yes? It was going to be more than that in the end for sure.

All these increases kind of render their lower prices less competitive in the end. For the moment I will be holding the extra cash until the Dublin coin fair next week. After all I would prefer to give more to local merchants,  even at a little higher prices.

PS Thanks for the address tip! 😉

No problem, and already wiped from my short term memory. Almost did the same with my own screenshot, just spotted it the last second.

Yes, seems a bit redundant to pick a figure of 300 as the point of change. Especially when initiating the storage option for multiple orders to come. But i'm not even the smallest bit tempted to email and ask about it 😅

The increase in price is to pay for their outstanding customer service.

...and outstanding after sales service, including their utter dedication into finding stolen parcels going missing at London airports, and missing bullion parcels left in neighbour's wheelie bins on bin collection day.

Sixth order from GS.be arrived this morning via FedEx safe and sound. Very well packaged never had any issues and €22 euros for postage from GS.be to the UK using FedEx reasonable.

[Silvergun]

Went to place an order this morning with  GS.be , shipping price has gone up  to 29 euro .

I was also taxed, on my two previous orders. But only on the empty master boxes i bought.. I haven´t asked about it, since it was pennies, in the big scheme, and to avoid any potential hassle, with "You know who"

Let me know, if you find out, what, its all about. 🙂

Playing around with the cart with what I purchased looks like I bought 3 Route 66 shields and they must be taxed because they aren’t coins

[Tritoon01]

they have not only increased shipping costs...but all across the board, in general, coin prices have increased. What used to be 16-18 euros range has gone up to 18-20 euro range. I guess they decided they have a strong enough base to increase prices in general......hope some other dealer steps in 🙂
