Cost saving idea, thoughts?
12 years ago
*waves* Heya fluffs. So had a thought on how to save some cost for peeps commissioning me and just wanted some feedback really.
Okay so I live near Toronto, Canada which does have a fairly good sized furry community so I thought maybe to help reduce the cost I may try offering to deliver finished pieces to a local (to me) furry that my customer may be friends with and see soon since there's cons just bout every month now. Shipping my sculptures seems to range from $40-$55 but I cap it at 40 and eat the rest myself because I feel bad :P But if I dropped off the boxed finished sculpture to your friend who you may see at a con anyway in a few weeks or a month then they can hand it right to you. So no shipping cost ^ ^ and a gentler safer ride to you I'm sure :P
Anyway so yeah that's my idea. I'd do it myself but I don't get to too many cons now a days sadly. So yeah I'll prolly give it a try at least once or twice n see what happens, if the person wants of course. Hehe sorry works got cost savings drilled into me now it seems >.< lol

Sure giving it to someone at Con A to bring it to con B to distribute it will cut the shipping cost down to zero, but there might be several problems:
* Person can't make it to one of the cons (or forgets stuff at home)
* Likely no insurance against theft or damage possible
