Hi Guys.
Now that the last PPC order is winding down I'm going to start planning the next one.
I'll be implementing a few changes to this order from the lessons I learnt in the last round.
1) Quoting will take place in a 2 step process, 1st will be the quote for the order cost including shipping at the prevailing exchange rate excluding SA VAT and import tax. To this I will be adding 6% to cover my transaction costs (Transfers between accounts and paypal fees which comes to 2%(on average) and 4% which PPC charges for shipping insurance).
I'll be adding 15.4% to this total as a preliminary estimate of VAT and import duties which should enable me to substantially cover the VAT payable on collection of the order from my post office.
Upon collection of the order I will then provide an adjusted estimate for both local shipping and any deficit in VAT payable, after receiving payment of this amount I will ship everyone's items and arrange local collections.
This is to protect me as in the past I've carried losses on VAT overcharges by SARS.
Through the whole process I'll be posting a google doc (Excel spreadsheet) with updated order details and costs as to avoid confusion and be more transparent. I will not post members names in this Doc, but all items ordered together with links and prices will be showed to enable everyone to verify the cost of their part of the order.
A few rules I'd like everyone to stick to.
1) All pm subjects will be labeled PPC Order together with your nic, other titles will be deleted.
2) Keep communication with regards to the order to pm.
3) Once the order has been placed I will update this thread with any and all updates as soon as possible, please don't spam my inbox with when when when??? questions.
4) The order will not be placed until I have received everyone's preliminary payments.
5) I will not include any items in this order that require major modification (see the last order thread if you need convincing).
6) Lastly, as soon as the order has been placed, I will not refund any amount payed to me unless there are exceptional circumstances at play. Any refunds will be net of transaction costs.
Now that that is out of the way, I'll set the preliminary close off date for the order as soon as the order becomes feasible.
Please pm me if you have any questions/suggestions.
