New Pricing!

[Ray (Flock Man)]

After milling over the bottom line lately trying to figure out the least painful way to increase the pricing or cut the service a little. I’ve already cut the service on the ebay sales down to 4 heads for $25 and that seems to work out pretty good, but I don’t want to go that route on the forum direct sales so I’ve come up with something I and all of you who make this possible can deal with.
I’m going to start a new system.
Now the costs are as follows:
Note you'll see that the shipping goes to the USPS and not myself.

1 Head $ 8.49 (+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
2 Heads $13.99(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
3 Heads $17.99(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
4 Heads $22.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
5 Heads $27.99(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
6 Heads $32.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
7 Heads $38.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
8 Heads $44.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
9 Heads $49.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
10 Heads $55.99(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
11 Heads $61.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
12 Heads $66.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
13 Heads $ 72.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
14 Heads $78.49(+ $2.00 USD Return Shipping.)
15 Heads $83.99(Free USA Return Shipping on orders of 15 or more.)
16 Heads $88.99
17 Heads $94.49
18 Heads $99.99
19 Heads $105.49
20 Heads $109.99
21 Heads $115.49
22 Heads $120.99
23 Heads $126.49
24 Heads $131.99
25 Heads $137.49
26 Heads $142.99
27 Heads $148.49
28 Heads $153.99
29 Heads $159.49
30 Heads $164.99

Over 30 Heads feel free to request a price quote (it usually works out to the 30 head price plus the number of heads added price from the chart above) example 48 heads would be priced at 30 heads = 164.99 + 18 heads at 99.99 for a total of $264.98! The savings overall is very good verses charging $8.49 X 48 heads.


Compare the prices to others in the Reflocking business and again see the savings. Prices are for full Reflocks, customs, patch work, and include stripping the old flock, plus free return Shipping to the USA for 15 or more.

Also, PayPal payments can no longer be gifted because once I print out the return shipping label PayPal charges the fee as if payment was for a service.

I’ve set it up this way because sometimes I’ll give a quote for say 12 heads at a deal of $55.99 (2 heads free) Then an email comes back saying they are only going to send 10 heads and the client will take off $8.49 for each of the missing 2 heads resulting in 10 heads for $39.01… 10 heads were supposed to be $55.99, but I let them toss in 2 extra for free… On the flip side I may quote $55.99 for 12 heads and the client will send 15 and add $4.67 for each extra head they send… resulting in $64.01 for 15 heads instead of $83.99 (notice when it’s a deduction the maximum is used, but if it’s an addition the quoted price is divided) so, you see my dilemma and why I take issue with it.


I must also add, from this point on all international orders if conditions change from the time you purchased our service you will be responsible for any extra fee or costs. This is prompted by the recent strike in Canada. When this happened I had 9 orders that had to be returned each one of these orders were for 2 heads each ($10.99 free shipping at the time) It wasn’t the clients fault nor mine so I took the hit and shelled out $24+ for each batch ($216.00 in shipping verses $27.00). If it wasn’t for the generous donations many of you have PayPal’d towards this project, this very small price increase would have been much bigger.
It’s funny to think at the beginning I had only a few steps- buy the service, strip the head, send the head, flock the head, send a picture ship the head, and repeat.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, I waited until the very last scrapings of the older cheaper (priced) flock was used up. Overall it's a .99 cent increase and a firm price structure that I can maintain easier. I figure over time and volume the bottom line will even out instead of trying to jack the prices to $10 a head.
The best way to purchase the service is like many others do- they get together with other collectors and send a bunch of heads to save even more.

I like the new price list it's much more simplified.
and Ray gets his due!!

[odbjbg]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Thanks! The new system seems to be working out excellent and so far so good.
Also, I have to add a thank you to all of you that always add a little extra. It's really appreciated on this end.

what,s the pricing on custom flocks? i've seen your crewcut's and sideburned and mushtashed flocks and i think there awesome and would like you to do some for me .thank you

[Ray (Flock Man)]

Same price. The only time the price may change is if the custom is larger and more detailed than a GIjOE head. Something like an animal for example, would be more.
